Family Home Evening WHANAU SIZE

We are loving having family (whanau) over for the holidays. Aunty Jacque invited us over for Monday night to have FHE. It was great to see cousins working together on assignments and enjoying the evening together.



Truth and Ratauhinga conducted


This is most of the cousins

Kawea conducted the music.

Rakai loving sitting on his "bigger" cousin Tawhaio


Emeka and Arama watching from behind, making sure all is well.

Arama and Jazz Gave a great lesson on service and looking after those that need our help. Well done you two!

Inspiration was from this months New Era.


Then game time. In the pond out the pond is a family favorite for generations! Still a favorite. Just more competitive. We had a couple of ponds. A big pond for the big ones, a little one for the little ones.

Truth and Tawhaio taught us how to play Pukana too. That was a great game, then there was a train game where you sit in a circle and hold hands. Then you squeeze hands  around to a certain person and someone in the middle has to catch the message before it gets to the inteded person. Lots of fun.

Thank you jacque for a wonderful evening!!! Love you!!

"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....        ...
