And the blessings roll in…


We have been blessed so much in our lives, I would be very ungrateful and undeserving if I did not acknowledge this. This blessing came when we won a huge pile of the lovely white stones for our gardens. It was about 2 tonnes worth and the lady wouldn’t even take the $1 from us that we won it for (trade me). I did give her something for her little girl though as a thank you.  It took us 2 trailer loads – Big trailer loads to get it home. It  covered the area next to the path perfectly and looks so awesome. It was great to see our family working together to unload. Even Rakai managed to find a small shovel from somewhere and insisted on helping shovel it out of the trailer.  They are not the best photo's but they catch the moment so well.

    I love that Aram is there in his work clothes and gumboots. At least he took off his tie :)

"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....        ...
