Motorbike Fun

A few months ago we were able to get these 2 farm motor bikes. Needless to say with a house of young men they are a favorite. Arama T especially has LOVED learning how to ride. He is getting really good at it too. 2 rules we have are Helmet and shoes. No exceptions. So, with safety rules behind us, it has been a great little past time. The little ones love having rides and it can be a great bargaining tool sometimes too (especially for Renata) T has also learnt the appreciation of PETROL - knowing that there is NOT a limitless suply.hehehe.
about a week and a half ago, I finally bit the bullet and jumped on. I have wanted to learn how to ride for al long time and it is a goal of mine this year to get my motorbike liscence. Well, I did love it. After I warmed up and a few 'little' tips from my 13 year old son!!!!(lol) I was away. It did feel great to take off down the property with my darling and have a bit of a ride. I must say, I did stack it once. I also have a nice bruised leg to prove it. Not too bad really. Here are a few snaps.
Paka's usual spot. 

Pre game lecture faces

The boys and their protective head gear while wrestling...My poor couch!

Nauvoo LOVES being Chaufer'd around

Kawea and dad learning how to ride

Rangikawea is being taught by his dad too.

Hikawera renata and Rakaipaka love putting our big helmets on and playing in them wrestling and such. Sometimes rakai falls over just by the weight of the helmet which sends Hik and Ren into fits of laughter. Silly boys!

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.

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!
