You'll see our wonderful Photostory of us at the Marae.

Here's a link to a video of Emma at "Woodville's Got Talent 2012."  She is lip-syncing "Surfing U.S.A."  She won $50.  She must be very brave.

Here are some photos of LC 6, LC 7 and LC 8 planting some trees near our garden.  We were given plants by the Plant to Plate ladies.  The trees were a feijoa, a manderin and an orange.  We sang them a waiata with love to help them grow.

Here's a story about Ilah's holidays that she wrote herself. 



What do you think I did in the holidays?  Read and find out.  I drove to Napier to stay for three days.  You are probably thinking why.  Well, Mum and Dad had to go to a wedding.  At the wedding, mum said "Daddy, can you get me a drink?" Everyone laughed.  So now you know why Nonnie and Poppa, Aeva and I went to Napier.  It was a two hour drive.  My Nonnie and I have tablets and Poppa has a DVD player.  Aeva calls the DVD player a toy.

Auntie Natalie and Uncle Pix live on a farm.I helped move the sheep.

Finally we got to masterton I had a big stretch. The next day nonnie gave me and Aeva 20 dollars each . I can't remember what I got but Aeva got  drill'nfill .It's a dentist toy.

Aeva and I stayed there for three days and one night.  MUM CAME!!!  On the drive back there was a big HAWK on the road and it would not get off the road.
