Zach's new bike!

After some convincing Zach finally got a bigger 16 inch bike. This means he can go faster and have some chance of keeping up with Daddy and Bella. He's called his new bike "policey". He's still coming to terms with the fact that he'll have to hand down his small red bike to Lucia.

Sleeping Beauty

Don't kids just look so adorable when they're alseep? Here is Lucia snuggled up in Zach's car seat asleep and her asleep on the lounge floor after claiming she wasn't tired.

Amy's 8th Birthday!

One of Bella's best friends is turning 8. Amy celebrated her birthday with Bella, Amisha and Derryn. The girls were lucky enough to go to Leap and then back to Amy's house for rainbow cake, yummy food and party games.

My studios kids!

Here are Bella, Zach and Lucia working hard. Bella is writing down as many words as she can in 10 minutes, Zach is writing as many letters as he can and Lucia is writing lots of "L's".

Bella's PJ day!

Bella got to wear pyjamas to school for mufti. Once Bella got dressed in her onesie Lucia was determined she wasn't going to miss out. We were lucky enough to bump into Maia at Kindy so she got to come to school with us.

Micaela's Birthday

Lucia went to Micaela's 3rd Birthday at the Magical Garden in Tamahere. Micaela is one of Lucia's ballet friends.

Wow, what a party! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great but Lucia still had a fabulous time. There was an Elsa who read a story, blew bubbles, played games, face painted, and took the children on a treasure hunt in the garden. There was even a horse to ride and lots of yummy food.

Te Aroha Hot Pools

After our bush walk we headed to the Te Aroha hot pools for a swim. The kids are all water babies so they didn't ever want to leave. The pools are so nice at Te Aroha and not too crowded. They're definitely worth the drive. Bella got to try out a pair of her new togs which looked great!
