back to school

Back to school this week. But a funny week as we had a holiday in the middle for Anzac day. J and DJ went down the the Anzac parade, it was Dylan's first with his Kea pack. And this weekend we had a party house! 5 boys slept over on saturday, was it noisy :) They made their own dinner (pizzas) and watched the rugby with Dad. Whew, back to school for a rest tomorrow. LOve J and DJ

Dylan's 6th birthday

Dylan managed to make his party season last this year. We had trips during the holidays to the pool and the short straw cafe. Had Isaac stay over night and went to see the Pirate movie. And went to TePapa for an amazing race. For Tepapa we had a road trip into Wellington. And then raced around the museum solving a clues and celebrated at the end with cake and lunch in the cafe. Happy Birthday Dylan!

Football season is on

The new season has started. And Jakob and Dad have been doing some preseason training at home. Jakob's team is "Auroa" and Dylan "lightening Strikes". We were lucky enough to have Nicola stay over night on the dawn of the new season so she came with us to watch both games. Love J and DJ

jakob's talk

Jakob's class has been working on their future career options. J was a standout with his Marine Biology talk. And perfected with the fantastic shark hat leiscester and Nicola found for him whilst on their travels.

day tripping

We have a new car...and being such a lovely day we were offfor a drive. Dad drove us over the hill to Greytown. We stopped at the park for lunch. Dylan and I checked out the new playground equipment. Our favourite was the big basket swing.

Another great day forcast for tomorrow. Happy Easter.

Love J and DJ
