School Fair

Remeber the days at the old school yard? I do now. It was the yearly Artoberfest at the boys school. A day full of fun, art and activities that cost money. All in all it was fun and the boys enjoyed every minute of it. We are proud of Moronae. He painted a great Picasso that now hangs in the kitchen. Great Job. Looking forward to the next school fair.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Last week we celebrated our 1st Anniversary. Alot has happened in one year and life has been exciting and a great adventure. Khali has put up with all my crazy habits and me almost burning the house down and destroying her wok. She has put up with 9 months of discomfort and now dirty nappies and having to deal with now 4 men in the house. Thanks for all you do. Happy Anniversary Khali. Love You.

WINTER DOWN UNDER

Our last six weeks have been interesting ones. We all got bronchitis and between the five of us I think we have managed to use New Zealands supply of tissues several times over. The baby spent a few days in the hospital to watch his breathing, I think maybe we all should have been in there at the same time. Well after several doses of antibiotics we have all come right now. Baby Karlos is now 7 weeks old and a whopping 14 pounds. Wow. He sure loves his milk. He is a great baby, always happy and loves getting kisses from his little brothers and smiling for his parents. I am now almost a pro at changing dirty diapers, which seem to get filled up when I take them off to change them making life more interesting for me. I have not been squirted in the face yet but am getting myself prepared for the day. Well as I write this a tropical storm has just hit us and our lawn is starting to turn into a lake so I better go check on things and make sure our boat will get us out of the house if it keeps raining. Exciting times in Paradise.

GOING TO WORK

Woke up the other morning and got ready for work but I could not find my work socks anywhere so I decided to wear white socks instead. Te Wairua gave me a kiss goodbye and then with a cheeky smile pulled up his pants and said look at my socks dad. I just had to have a chuckle. So funny.

ONE WEEK OLD- KARLOS ZANAZIR KEREAMA ALEXANDER SNOW

We finally finallized Karlos's names this week after much deliberation. It was fun to do and all the names have so much meaning.

On Monday my sister came in from the states for a visit with her son. It was great to have her here and the boys just loved there new cousin. We also decided to have the baby's blessing so that they could be here for it.

On sunday we had his baby blessing. It was great to have friends and family come to be with us during that special occasion.

Khali had her family here as well before their big trip to China to visit her sister.

Moronae loves his little brother and is constantly giving him hugs and kisses. Te Wairua is very excited to have a new brother too.

Then there is Grandpa and Grandma Snow. They are as happy as can be to have a new grandson to add to their snow bank. It was great to have you all at the baby blessing and for those that could not come we felt your presence there.

Love you tons,

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.
