Eden's growing up!

A teddy bears picnic theme for Eden's last day at Mainly Music.

Teddy Eden up the front...


Eden with the t-shirt she screen printed in her last week at kindy. Designed it all herself, just had a bit of held with the cutting and holding the screen.


Eden's kindy farewell and birthday, with special teacher, Becky.


And fairy claps!


Followed by a party lunch! Including chocolate cupcakes, of course! (I didn't get any photos of them sorry :( )

Our season of rugby

Three rugby players, and one who will be upset of the All Blacks don't call him before he goes to school!

Photo for Anne-Marie...Eden one day wanted to make a little bag for her mouthguard, out of some old My Little Pony knickers!


Go Lach! One of the muddier games!


Go Lily! Think this was the day when all three of them got player of the day, especially for Sophie's birthday!


Grass growing out of your knees, Lily?


Go Eden! So cute that she actually thinks she can outrun all the big school kids!


Onga-Tiko Rippa Team 2011


Onga-Tiko Under 9's - fearless bunch! (Lachie's the one not looking, black headgear)


Lachie Masterchef made a chocolate tart for his and Lily friends for morning tea when they stayed the night!


Sad that rugby's now over for us for the year, well playing anyway!

NZ Champs

Good drive over to New Plymouth after Eden's kindy party. Really lovely motel (nicest random one ever found on the internet!), best thing for the girls, breakfast in bed watching sky movies before getting ready for dancing day 1!

All dressed up, ready to dance! Eden's first competition and yay, some 4 year olds to dance with! Eden enjoyed making friends with Maddy and Georgia.


A great day dancing, very hard to take photos of the girls dancing on stage because flashes weren't allowed. After lunch and some shopping, checking out the monkeys etc. at the Zoo and playing with the Rez's. Loving the championship jackets!


After McD's for dinner Friday, and Chinese and Indian for lunch Saturday, the girls chose pasta and pesto at the motel followed by their choice of ice creams - super easy!
Sunday, not starting til later so we went down to the waterfront to see the Webb Ellis cup!


Studio photo, Julie's girls!


Group hug! Love this photo! (that's Lily right in the centre!)


Eden receiving her certificate. Followed by two gold medals (after a gold and a silver yesterday) for her two dances.


Lily had a great weekend too.
Saturday, pre-Championship: 6th Pas de Basques; 3rd PdB & Highcuts; 3rd Sword dance and no place for the fling as she did a half step wrong. Her goal on Sunday was to get the fling right, and she did!
Sunday, Championship: 5th Pas de Basques; 6th PdB & Highcuts; 3rd Highland Fling!; and 1st for the Sword Dance!!
Stopped on the way home for a shot of the mountain.


And we're still talking new kilt colours!
