Hikawera turns 6

In May/June we have 4 birthdays two weeks apart from each other.  Early June is Hikawera's Birthday. He was so excited about this birthday, I don't know why! He would remind us every day for about a week and a half before hand that his birthday is coming up! Wow the pressure.

Arama had to go to Samoa on his birthday for the 50th jubilee/Anniversary but we made it a fun day anyway. We went shopping the night before for his presents and found a great science kit that you can make your own glow in the dark goo.. He actually really enjoyed it.
The safety equipment

The work in progress and the 'camera' smile.

The kit ready for attack
 We had a yummy chocolate cake for dessert and some more little presents. He was excited to see what dad would be doing with him when he returned.

Love this shot. Hik with his big smile, and Ren with his sad face as he was not able to blow the candles out... 


Arama came home from Samoa Early Tuesday morning. He was planning to take Hikawera to Rainbows end (theme park) but the weather was not too kind. Instead we took advantage of the half price Tuesdays at the movies and we took everyone to see "The Avengers". Awesome movies. 
The kids were so excited as they have not been to the movie theatre since we came back from Fiji... I loved hearing the boys laugh and really get into the movie. Happy Birthday Hik!!

"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!!!!

Monday Night Fun

For those in the same faith as our family - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you would be familiar with Family Home Evening. We have ours most times on a Monday evening. Last night we decided to go into the local school and play netball and on the play gyms that are there. It was a lot of fun. I think I surprised Teancum at how good I was at shooting into the Netball goal. Even Renata, Hikawera and Rakaipaka had a go. There are 2 play gyms at the school. One smaller one at the front of the school for the younger children and one really big one at the back in front of the school pool. This one is really high. If you look at the photo with Teancum in it and note that he is about 2 inches off being taller than me, you will get an idea of how tall this is. The slide is perfect for speed!! (and you know ours LOVE speed). To make it that much more exciting they decided to sit on their shirts and slide down. Needless to say they had a ball....        ...
