May birthdays

I know it's been a while but here we go again with another month.....

1st- Miss Chloe

I'm gonna get in trouble either way lol so I'm guessing 17th for Deacon. I know BAD BAD AUNTY BON. But it's better then leaving him out!!! We do know it's his bday month.

26th- Big Daddy Kev

27th- Aunty Hario

Ok not sure if I forgot people but I'm sure I'll get a message if I did.

The reason we haven't blogged is because since Veek got hurt we haven't been doing much. He has a doctors appointment on Thursday to find out whether he's all better so we'll keep you posted.

Uncle Tom and Aunty Te Rina had a baby boy on the 8th of April. His name is Thomas Wayne Hitchens and he weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces. He's soo cute and little.

So on the Hitchens side that takes Veek and Lennox's cousin count to 5 boy cousins and 1 girl.

More blogging after Veeks appointment or after his first game on sunday. Fingers crossed:):)

Earth hour

Last night we had earth hour at 8 pm. So for a whole hour we turned off our tvs, lights and computer and sat in darkness. Mum and Dad sat outside smoking while Lennox played with the candles and ate his ice block. Veek was at his mates house and they supported earth hour too. Veek and his mate were lighting leaves on fire and trying to burn creepy crawlies to pass the time.This morning we went to watch Veek's team play against Wynnum. They won 22-8. Veek was assistant water boy for the day so he could still be involved and get on the field. After the game we had a bbq at a local park and the kids were issued with training polo shirts. We had a big feed then came home for an afternoon nap.

And finally here are the birthdays for april.....

3rd- Rion

17th- The boss lady AKA Nan!!

23rd- Caleb

That's all I can think of. Shocking really cause we have a hearty family of breeders. Please let me know if I've forgotton someone.

Kauri Aranui

On sunday 23d of march at 1.20 am Aunty Missy and Uncle Julian welcomed Kauri Aranui Wihongi. He weighed 7 pound 3 ounces and has lots of hair. Congratulations aunty and uncle. We can't wait to meet him.

Nivek's stay in hospital

OMG!! On Thursday night Nivek fell off a ledge under our balcony at home and landed on his head and shoulders. Mum thought it wasn't that bad so she picked him up and he started rolling his eyes and looked like he was gonna spew. So Kelly and Aunty Ray Ray helped him upstairs and Mum called an ambulance.

Those fence things in the pic also landed on him.......ouch!! Anyways the ambulance came and stabalised him and asked heaps of questions. Mum rang Dad at work and he came home and went with Veek to the hospital. When he got to the emergency ward they gave him xrays and scans and found out that he had a fractured skull.

He had to wear a neck brace and lay on this back support thingy. The black things next to his head are sand bags so he didn't move his head and neck. After 9 hours in emergency ward he was moved to the childrens ward at the Mater hospital.

That was a really long night with the nurses and doctors poking and prodding Veek while he slept. The next morning we woke up in hospital and Koro Tim was there to visit. Veek was sooo excited because we haven't seen him for ages. He stayed for a few hours and Mum was stoked because she could finally have a smoke without Veek moaning that he was lonely.

After he went home Dad,Lennox and Uncle Bonny came to visit and Mum got to go home and have a break. Later that day Koro Craig, Aunty Pania, Vicky, Uncle Tom, Aunty Te Rina and Harmony came to visit. Veek took them to the play area to show them around a bit....

Then everyone went home and it was back to Mum and Veek getting bored in the little hospital room. The nurses took a fancy to Veek and let him stay up later then the other kids and watch the footy. Yay!! Finally at 9 pm on saturday Veek was discharged from hospital. He can do most normal things now but he's not allowed to play footy for at least 6 weeks and can't have punch ups with Lennox either. After half an hour at home this is already proving to be a challenge lol. Mum has to go to school with Veek on tuesday and let the teacher know what he can and can't do. Should be an interesting few weeks. He is guttered that he can't play footy. But we will still attend the games and let you all know how the teams going.

In other news it's Aunty Polly's birthday. She's the big 30 today!!! And she's going to Jack Johnson:(:( Mum is sooo jealous. Anyways happy birthday Aunty we all love you long time and hope you have the bestest birthday ever.

Well that's all from our house for now. Perhaps tomorrow we'll chuck on some pics of the boys stuffing their faces with chocolate. Happy easter everyone. Be safe and enjoy the long weekend..... nearly forgot about Nana Diane. Hope you enjoyed the memorial Nan we love you long time too.

Chocolate drive

This week we've been on a mission to sell our choccies. Everyone in Veek's team got 1 box each and we got 6 boxes because we're awesome at selling chocolate.

Lennox did really well in swimming this week and got moved up into the crocodile class. We're very proud of him.

Veek hasn't been up to much this week. Just giving Mum a headache cause he wants to be a hater about everything. Here's a pic of him tryna argue his way out of doing his homework.

On friday we went to Jordyns 3rd bday party. The food was really yummy. Lennox mostly ate the chips but Mum went hard for pizza and dip. Mmmmmm. We took Aunty Kylie and Izire. This was Izire's first birthday party. He was very well behaved.
And finally here's a pic of Payton. He's grown so big since the last time we saw him. He's really cuddly. We love Payton.

Anywho what have we been doing lately????

The footy season is back in action and Veek played his first game on th 2nd of march against Wynnum and beat them 28-12. This year there is 11 on the field, they kick on the 5th tackle, have scrums and dropouts and the field is bigger!! Lots of changes but the boys did really well considering it's hot again over here.

Mum has been named assistant manager of the team and is in charge of fundraising and stuff like that. We're starting our chocolate drive this week so watch out everyone we want your money lol. Any whanau and friends who have ideas for fundraising or just wanna give our boys some money, please feel free to let us know. All sponsors will get big ups on the blog hard lol.

Lennox is continuing with swimming lessons now that we're back from holiday. He's doing very well and is nearly ready to move up a class. He has also snapped out of some of his randomness that he used to do. Growing up finally. Sniff sniff........

Last week mum helped organise a rasta bday party for her friend Melly. These were some of the rasta pics from the night...... Rasta jelly shots
Rasta cruisers
Rasta bday cake
Rasta decorations

Rasta clothes with dreads and afros

Good time good times...........

UB40 Baby

While we were checking in at the airport Mum looked around and OMG who was it???? That's right baby........UB40!!! Mum and Aunty Uru didn't waste any time. They followed them outside and had a smoke with them and chatted for about 5 minutes.

And just as we were buzzing all the way through customs we stumbled across Maxi Priest who happened to have a photo with the boys. Icing on the cake for an o for orsum holiday......
