Kawea turns 11

With all the hustle and bustle of school holidays, and going back to school, Kawea's birthday always sneaks up on us.

This year he turned 11. It is a bit of a shock, he is now 11 years old - the preisthood next year.... He can't wait to go up to Young Mens.
This year his class had an overnight sleepover at school, so we took a birthday cake to his class at lunchtime... mmmm yummy. They played spotlight at the school until about 9:30pm, this was the moon.

Kawea's class - 29 of them

Mmmm chocolate cake.  - and lollies.

Beautiful full moon that night!


Then saturday we went to Waiwera Hot pools. He took a friend with him and we swam and relaxed ALL day. WE arrived about 11am and left at 8:30. It was afantastic day of waterslides swimming and feasting. Great facilities there.

The next day, the kids fell asleep on the way to church and did not wake up until after sacrament was over. I mean they were out!! would not move. Nauvoo was the only one up and about with us.
A great Birthday for a great boy!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
