Santa Expressions

each year i love seeing my kids facials in their santa photos.
and this year didn't disappoint !
i'm that mum that loves the screaming photos.
makai : i'll sit here and take a picture but don't move another inch closer to me.
zayden: NOOOOOOOO
braxton: this is the BEST DAY EVER !
my boys are so unique.
not even one of them is like the other
- that includes looks to !
here's to another fantastic 21st santa photo.
if it was a brown santa zayden would be all smiles.
this boy LOVES brown males
- it's the strangest thing !

Kindy Graduate Twenty15

 makai is officially a kindy graduate.
i cannot even believe how fast this year has gone.
i still remember the first day and the sickening feeling a felt
as i had to let my baby go to big school.
from not being able to carry his bag on his back because it could have eaten him
to being so independent and asking to go to kiss and drop everyday.
he has grown so much.
he has grown into such a school boy.
his hair is always crazy messy whenever i pick him up.
he even has that school smell !
i know that heavenly father looked after makai.
he placed an amazing teacher in his life,
i could never have asked or hoped for a better one.
she has helped mould and shape him.
she was unbelievably patient with him - more than i could be.
she encouraged him the whole way.
literally cried tears of joy when he reached achievements.
she made me feel that i could trust someone else with one of my most precious gifts.
she was truly sent to be his guide through his first year of school.
because of her he is confident in his abilities.
he is so excited to go and be a year 1 kid next year.
he was blessed with amazing friends.
they were all so positive to each other.
all the boys have become the best of friends in his class.
it was one of the hardest decisions to chose to send him,
i could have held him back but,
i believe without a doubt that he was meant to go to school this year.
i officially survived the first year as a school mum.
they don't lie
- its CRAZY !



p.s - i totally cried my eyes out, probably even more than the day he actually started kindy !

Personal Progressee

mr makai got an award at his first presentation day.
his award was for "outstanding personal progress."
i can't even tell you how proud i am of this boy.
he has strived so hard at doing better at everything.
reading, writing, colouring, correct pencil grip, sport, adding and subtracting.
he was truly blessed with an amazing teacher.
she has been so supportive of him, so kind, so loving.
and because of this my fears of big school disappeared after the first day i dropped him off.
heavenly father without a doubt placed her in his path for this purpose.
she has built his confidence in himself and his abilities.
she has taught him with tenderness and love.
she has celebrated his achievements and encouraged him through his difficulties.
i am so forever grateful for her and her influence in his life.
she will always hold a special place in my heart.

2015 Energy Loss

i can't even tell you how crazy my life has been these last 3 months.
its been even a challenge just to get a blog post.
there has been so much i want to document so i don't forget,
the boys achievements, the boys starting t-ball, jevan completing his post-grad
there's so much that i can't even think of nay more lol.
there has been no time,
i feel like i have been racing just to survive.
and don't even get me started about the house work.
my house is a disaster zone
 - i meet everyone at the door and that's as far as they get in.
my grass is up to my knees,
christmas is doing my head in !
i think i'll be glad when the 1st of january 2016 is here.
i've had to take a little break from my studies while i try and just manage to get the boys to school and pre-school plus swimming and t-ball plus feeding them breakfast, lunch and dinner.
sometimes i can manage great but at the moment
it is not happening.
so i'm learning to vacuum the upstairs only once a week 
-because who ever goes upstairs !
be happy if the kids get food in there mouths
- even if that's eggs on toast for breakfast on a monday !
wash my hair once a week
- because that's what hair ties were invented for !
bring on 2016 and my renewed energy.
