Just before the Term 1 school holidays...yay!

A real mish mash of stuff in this post. Would like to have it separated out a bit, but needs must!

My Maori cultural costume for our cultural sharing day in the last week of term




Ella D's mufti outfit

Faithy K's mufti outfit. Just remembered I've gotta do a post of this girls fashion combos.....she's got style!

Grandad Sonny's shopping spree with my 2 big princesses


Big Mac's baptism Day....so special!
And check out these cool as bikkies Aunty Nae made.

Jump for Mac's party. This was before they got their sweat on!!!!



Little Miss 1 year old...only for 2 more days!


Yes, that's my son IN the basketball shooting game thing

The first time these two have met and my goodness it was cuteness overload

Little Dall's was 'wearing the pants' for sure!


Dally going to kindy on her second birthday

I've promised the girls a new school jacket for about 6 months...finally did it!

If they lose them we're in big trouble cause they cost $46 each. 

Dally's birthday pressies. Yup, that's three packets of knickers over there....Mumma's gonna tackle the toilet training in a couple of months

Mail for Dalls


Wow, I think she loves it, thanks Stone family.
Still haven't spend her $2 yet

I went to change Dall's nappy and when I took off her pants look what I found. I asked Ella about it and she said Seth did it. Yeah, good one Ella

Nice little time out in my room while Ella played hairdressers and I read through my YW lesson




Never seen this guy in such a state. Thankfully it was pulled ligaments and not gout



April 2016 General Conference
I got the kids all started with their activities and watched a couple talks before we went back to the 
A & E to pick up Dad



Dalls didn't know how to get the stickers off but she liked matching the people up with a background sheet








Dalls new kindy bag. She finally graduated on from the TOFW bag



My baby is 2!!!!!!

Easter and a LONG weekend!

Easter was one of 2 halves for our family this year. 

First of all, Easter in Auckland.....

Our wonderful Primary leaders put on an Easter activity for the kids. Lucky little chickens!







My Easter bunny snuck this amazing box of baking goodness in to my office on the Thursday before good Friday (everyone at work had someone to secretly give something to) and I'm pretty sure I hit the jackpot with my lovely bunny


Farewelling Dad and Ella as they headed down the road to daycare to pick up the little ones and head to Te Haroto for the long weekend

Enjoying a late night feed of fish n chips while watching.....

This was good, but the new ones 'FULLER HOUSE' are even better. I'm pretty sure we watched every episode about 5 times while the family was gone....seriously!

Big baby in Mumma's bed....took me back to the days when we used to sleep in Mum's bed when Dad went away for work. I'm sure I had that big smile (and would've taken selfies if they even existed) when it was my turn

New Beginnings Boot Camp on Good Friday morning




Easter Show delight (the danish ice-cream thing, not the man!)






Don't waste coins trying to get stuff out of the claw games aye Mac. $10 and she walked away with nothing....then her sister came and added another $2...duh!!!!!

A special Leone family outing. So cool!

Such a silly, silly girl. Totally forgot my fuel light was on from the night before. Didn't remember until I was on my way back from Aunty Nae's, on the Western Motorway and it said 5km!!! Watched it go down, 4, 3, 2, 1 and I was still just at the Westgate lights. Lucky I made it in to the Z across from Pak N Save and didn't have my first ever 'run out of petrol experience'.

Phew!!!

And Easter for Daddy, Ella, Seffy and Dalls.....




























What a mammoth weekend these guys had....down to Hamilton on Thursday night, then on to Te Haroto (arriving at 1:30am). Off to Napier on Saturday arvo until Sunday evening. Then from Te Haroto back to Hamilton on Monday evening, and from Hams to Auckland on Monday night, arriving home at 12:06 in the middle of the night. Lucky we all had Tuesday off kindy/school and work so the kids could relax and I could catch up with 4 loads of washing.

And how blessed they were to have a wonderful time with Grandad Sonny, Grandma Yvonne, Nana Ivy and everyone else. Such a cool few days for my hubby and babies

Now I wonder where everyone will be next easter...actually I know where I'll be!
