Holiday in Taranaki

Aunty Louby was up in Taranaki for a wee holiday so we took a road trip to visit.

I loved catching up with my friends Sam and Kate and meeting baby Lachie for the first time.

I think I could be a real farmer girl (especially if Uncle Stu would bring my friends to live in the Waikato!)

I drove a tractor...

checked out the cows...

blew kisses to Sammy the sheep...

even Granny liked Sammy.

Somewhere in between we found time to have a wee party for Mum's birthday. I had been quite sick but I managed to find room for lollies and cake.

Granny and Grandad's 40th wedding anniversary

My Granny and Grandad have been married for 40 years.

Mum and I made a cake to celebrate and invited Uncle Tony, Aunty Leah, Jack, Cooper and Lavinia over for a wee party to celebrate.

New PJs

We went shopping today and I got new PJs and a new dressing gown - Dora ones!

Baking

I've decided I love baking cakes - mainly because I get to decorate them with lollies and chocolate drops - I find the recipe of one for me, one for the cake, works really well.

The Royal Family

I decided I'd like to be a Princess so that I could make the rules.

That made Daddy the King

and Mummy the Queen.

Now Mummy and I are having debates over whose turn it is to make the rules - I've told her she can have a turn tomorrow.

Easter

I had a fantastic Easter. It was almost better than Christmas.


In the morning Easter Bunny had brought me presents



and left me a couple of bunnies to find.


Then I went to a party at my friend Eve's house.


We had an Easter egg hunt and had lots of fun. I got more Easter Eggs than my Mum thinks she's had in her own life - shame I don't really like them.







Then just to make sure I didn't fade away we went to Granny and Grandad's house for dinner and had more Easter eggs.

Wow what a busy day - now when's the next party?

The Wiggles!

Last week Mum took a day off work so that we could go to The Wiggles. Dad got us really good seats so we could see them all really close up and Granny took lots of photos.

It was so cool. I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of people but once they came on stage I loved it. I sang along and danced along to the songs.

I was quite disappointed, there were even tears, when I couldn't go again later in the week.

Holiday at Nannie & Grandad's

We went on holiday to Nannie and Grandad's.

We went to animal park and patted all the animals.

Then one day we went to the park on a lion hunt and we found one!

I was a bit scared when it started roaring - but it was just Grandad being silly!

Cooper's birthday

My cousin Cooper had his 3rd birthday party at Lollipops - it was so cool!

I dressed up in my fairy dress to go to the party and had great fun playing with all the toys.

Then my big cousin Jack was dressing up so I did too - this is me being a sheep.

The danger of books!

I've been reading a book about a little girl who doesn't go to bed at night as she's too busy playing.

I told Mum and Dad last night that I wasn't going to bed, even when they said they were.

So Mum and Dad went off to bed leaving me with my lion song confident that I couldn't make the tv play it again and would be bored in 5 mins....

But no. I figured out how to make it play 6 x, then I got up and turned the tv off. I crept down the hall to check on Mum and Dad using my quiet voice so as not to wake them. Then I came back to the lounge to play.

I only called for Mum 3/4 hour later when I got stuck doing one of my puzzles - I guess she does come in handy sometimes!

Day at granny and grandad's

Yesterday I went to Granny and Grandad's with Mum and Cooper was there too.

I had to get all dressed up for my outing and wear my new shoes. You know you've got great new shoes when you want to put them on as soon as you get out of bed.

Cooper and I kept Granny and Grandad busy and both had a big sleep after stories with Granny.

Megan

My big cousin Megan came to visit with Granny and Grandad.

I thought she was pretty cool cause she played games with me and gave me two bags.

Ever since her visit I keep asking Mum if she'll be with Granny and Grandad next time we see them and I love my new bags so much I've taken a different one to daycare each day so I can show them off.

Me and my mum

We went on a special boat for dinner to celebrate Granny and Grandad's 40th wedding anniversary.

It was lots of fun, I had all my favourite people around to play games with me and I got to eat chips for dinner.

I love the fairies

I love the fairies.

I like to do their dances and dress up like them - this is my dress like Rhapsody, I tell Mum she can be Harmony and Daddy he is Barnaby the busy buzzy bee...

Now I just have to figure out how to get them to dress up too.

My best friends

I love my big cousin Jack and especially like it when he holds my hand when we go walking.

I also think my Aunty Kathryn is pretty funny.

Gymnastics

This term I'm giving gymnastics a go and just going swimming with my Mum.

I've learnt to do rolly polys and walk on the tight rope (beam) but my favourite is swinging like a Monkey.

In fact I told Mum on the way home from daycare this week that I didn't want to live at home anymore I was going to live in the zoo and be a monkey (Mum had to come too though!)

Jack's 5th Birthday

My cousin Jack had his 5th birthday party.

It was a treasure island one.

I got so excited before hand, I had my costume sorted weeks in advance....

but on the day I couldn't wait to get there and I forgot it, but it didn't matter as we all had heaps of fun in the pool!

Outing with my cousins

Mum and I met Granny and my cousins Jack and Cooper at the park for a play.

Then we went on a big walk through the bush to find morning tea. I loved it, especially when my big cousin Jack held my hand while we were walking.

Guess what!

I'm getting a baby at my house.

I asked Mummy and Daddy for one for Christmas but they couldn't quite get organised for that so I"m getting one for my birthday instead.

Mummy and Daddy told me on Christmas day. I wasn't too excited then as I had a house to play with but now I'm very excited. I tell Mummy that I'll let the baby have a turn with my special teddy when it comes out.

Auckland Zoo

Mum, Dad, Granny, Grandad and I went on a big adventure to Auckland zoo.

We had to stop off and show Granny and Grandad Uncle Ali's new house and then we went to see the animals.

My favourites were the monkeys - I even tried to be one on the climbing frame!
