QUEENS BIRTHDAY

In commemoration of the Queens Birthday Holiday me and the boys decided to do a little face painting. The boys decided that they wanted to be little tigers so here is my best artistic face painting skills. The boys seemed happy with there tiger faces until they decided to paint my face.




Here is the boys painting my face. I wanted to be a tiger too. At this point I was getting a little scared to see what type of tiger I would be.


Here we are the three tigers. I still have not looked in the mirror to see what resembalence of a tiger I really am. I am sure I look just like one.

Hmmm. I am certainly a very interesting tiger. Oh well the boys thought I looked like a pretty scary tiger so I will go with their interpretation. I must say I was a little shocked to look in the mirror and discover that I looked more like a picasso painting.

NOT LONG TO GO

NOT LONG TO GO. Khali has advised me that if the baby does not come on the due date that we are going to have to take all the natural measures we can find to start labour. This includes running through a paddock of pennyroyal which is some type of grass that is supposed to start labour within 24 hours. If any of you have personal experience of something that worked for you let us know. I am sure any suggestions may come in handy....... Hope you are all great.

TE WAIRUA'S OVERDOSE

Te Wairua had a bit of a cold a few weeks ago and so in the middle of the night my wife gave him some cold medicine, then put the bottle on the bench in the kitchen. In the morning Te Wairua wandered into the kitchen and some how pried the bottle open and being the boozer that he is drank half the bottle. Luckily he came into the room to disturb his sleeping parents and bragged to them about self medicating himself or shall we say overdosing. We rushed him to the hospital and it subsequently took him about 10 hours to no longer be intoxicated. The black on his lips is the aftermath of the two cups of carbon that we had to bribe him to drink to absorb the medicine. Who would have ever know that marriage would bring such excitement. I think my hair is going gray. Hmm.

HAPPY EASTER

Here is wishing you all a Happy Easter from us all down under in NZ. We hope the true meaning of easter ring true in your hearts and we are thankful for the wonderful blessing that we receive each and every day. We pray that you all have the best Easter 2008 and go light on the chocolate. He, he.

Dean, Khali and the boys

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS

This morning Te Wairua told us he was going to get already for church. A few minutes later out he came. I have decided he is our captain underpants. He just does not like clothes and would be more than happy to go to church in his gumboots and undies.

THE JOYS OF PARENTING

We were suprised to turn around and find that our three year old Te Wairua had stopped singing at the top of his lungs. The scene was so funny we just had to take the photo. He fell asleep with the bandaid over his mouth and when he woke up to take a pee all we could hear was a muffled whimper.

We looked all over the house and could not find our pyjamas. Looks like two little gremlins got a hold of them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR. We hope that 2008 is the best one. We have a new year's suprise. We are expecting in June. Khali has an ultrasound next week and so we should know soon if it will be a boy or girl. Our New Years was spent with some latin friends dancing, watching fireworks and bringing the New Year in surrounding a bonfire. The next day we went to the beach and spent time fishing, swimming and enjoying time with family. We hope you all had a Happy New Year.

Love Dean, Khali and the boys
