On Saturday we went to Tipene's 1st birthday. It was a great party with all the party games and party food. Jamie, Semu and the whanau did an aweome job!! Nathan had a cool time and went hard out on all the treats he could get his hands on :)

Kids table all decked out with all their favourite party food, YUM! The adults table of food was the bomb too, with crayfish, bbq, chopsuey, etc etc on the menu, Awesome!

The Birthday boy

Maia with Faye aka Tania and Te Kohe aka Kingi The on screen and off screen couple from Shortland Street

Faye took a shine to Maia and Maia seemed to do the same as she was too shy to go to anyone else but when Faye grabbed her for a cuddle she didn't mind at all, Maia is a real tv watcher so must think she looked familiar :)

Go Zoe!!

Dean and Semu

The 2 One year olds - Look out for these two at Te Kaha they'll be all over the place this year!!

Going in for the goodbye kiss - Better not try those styles Tipene my Dad's watching!!!

Nathan pooped out from all the party fun!

You think I'm going to sleep Mum, don't think so!!!

Rutherford Preschool Culture Night

Nathans Preschool has had a theme of 'Culture' over the last month. On Friday night they had a 'Culture Night'. The kids dressed up and sang us some songs and we all took food from our different cultures so you could imagine the awesome feed we had.

Nathan was pretty chuffed with his Tiki T.Shirt, Pounamu (greenstone) necklace and the Kete bag that his mum wove him a while back. He looked like one cool little Maori Boy.

Tahi, Rua, Toru, Wha... PUKANA!!!
