<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I heard that Jonah Lomu had died... I came to grips pretty quick as he was sick most of his adult life. I watched a few rugby highlights and that was a little tough. Such a great man. He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2012 and a few years later sealed to his wife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have two moments with seeing Jonah - One was Counties vs Southland, Now this just came to mind I remember putting my hand out when he ran through the tunnel and my hand hit his shoulder and it was like someone throwing a brick at my hand. After the game is was still the days where you could run on the field and celebrate it with the players. I honestly thought I was going to be crushed. It was like a stampede! Everyone fell over and I thought I was going to be crushed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The second was at a 4&O Car weekend. He was big into is subs and had a car there. I was with a mate who wanted a photo of him and I went and asked and he said yes. I felt embarrassed afterwards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I really wanted to write or do something to remember him, but this is really my only outlet. He had a video game that was high addictive called Jonah Lomu Rugby. Such an epic game</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Generally once someone dies, then you realise how great the man was. The best quote I have read lately was 'There was Jonah Lomu, and next there was Rugby' This is my favourite picture.</span></div>

I wasn't focusing on anything in particular, but was feeling something. I looked around and saw my wife and was thinking of how proud and happy I was of her. As I sat and pondered for a moment I thought to myself 'I think this is what is means to feel peace' I felt as easy about the world, my life, and my daughter. I have not felt that real 'peace' for a long time, or maybe I just had it pointed out to me. Such happiness follows, Love you Violet.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You'd be happy to know it is now down to 8,976 odd. But crickey!!! 56gb it's at, down from 64gb. I found 1 video 25mins long with nothing but Gracie fumbling around the room with the camera in her hand haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We often take photos that have untold stories. We could take them because we want to capture that moment in time only for ourselves to review. I saw some great memories and cherished them as I scrolled to the never ending bottom of the iPhoto page. Anyways that back up is in progress, because if I lost them i'd be spewing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some 'untold' photos... Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well this blog I feel comes with a lot of laughs. We realised last week that our 72 hour kit food was expiring so we thought to ourselves 'lets do a test run next Monday' so we did. We prepared the kids by telling them sometimes earthquakes, volcanos, and tornados damage the power so we have no light and have to survive. We turned the lights off and the fun began.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We started lighting all the candles and I don't know if this is common knowledge but those little circle candles are rubbish. We had them everywhere and we could hardly see. We had a lantern that we had to take everywhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We started on the dinner and prepared the pasta dish and beef curry. We blessed the food and took the first bite. It was like a Hollywood movie Jessie and I looked at each other and knew we couldn't turn back. We previously decided that we would have the black out till the kids are in bed. After that first bite we knew it would be tough.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I convinced jessie the beef curry was better and she ended up spewing it out haha. There was a cool like snack pack that came with raro and lollies. So we played 'don't eat Pete' with the lollies and decided the quicker we can get the kids into bed the kicker we could end this torture haha.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall it was a disaster, I realised that we are not prepared, have rubbish lighting, and the food would make us all sick. It was crack up when I was relaying it to my students at school today. Jessie had some really good ideas from it. Like doing it every year at the daylight savings going into winter. Brilliant idea I thought. Anyways thought it was worth a blog </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">.WARNING: This is the longest blog I have written in my life<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Saturday was rugby, things were not going right that day, I was late to
my game, forgot my boots and just didn't have the right preparation. As I was
running onto the field a thought came to my mind 'you are gonna get hurt today'
I thought nothing of it and continued playing the game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">I made a good return from our 22 and made it to half way. I dropped this
easy catch and just felt off my game. Then we had this back line move going and
this person broke a few tackles then passed me the ball. It must have been a
hospital pass cos I got crunched straight away, both of us were still standing
but the ball popped out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">I felt like I had been hit by a truck and found it hard to breathe cos I
was winded. I went to the side of the field because I thought I was going to
spew. I stayed there to recover and started to feel right. I played a little
touch with a boy on the side-line and after a while stopped playing cos
something felt wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">The game ended and I thought nothing of is. I told Jessie I got crunched
and then jumped in the shower. I was just looking at my chest to see if there
was anything happening e.g. Bruising, marks, blood. Everything seemed fine.
Sunday I had no problems but a head ache which I rarely get. Monday was similar
until about 9pm at night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">I had just finished watching the hobbit 2 and stood up and felt a
tingle. I didn't think much of it but it kept tingling. I lifted up my top and
told Jessie it's a little sore. I thought it would go away, but it didn't. The
pain got worse so I took some Panadol and headed for bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">I didn't last long because I was out complaining about my chest to Jessie
this time I was in the groaning stage. Like it was just unbearable. The
explanation I give people is this... It was like there was a fire explosion
happening every 2-3 seconds in my upper stomach that had an electrical current
along with it. Needless to say I was in pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">As I got back to my feet Jessie had already rang the ambulance and I was
waiting for their arrival like there was no tomorrow. I was thinking I was
going to die, and I felt stink. This pain was not going away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">When the ambo drives arrived they asked me all the questions necessary,
and asked me to do things that hurt like hell. Like breathe in slowly "it
hurts" just focus, 10 breathes later.... "Ok thanks" talks to
the other ambo driver. Ok can you take some deep breaths for me hahahah
Crickey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">They made me take some drugs which I happily took and made the decision
to take me to New Plymouth. Another painful task was to hold still for 30
seconds. This seemed impossible. By this time they had put the IV plug in, put
sticky things on to check my heart, shaved my chest so it could stick, and
pumped more drugs into me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">I now learnt that it was my 'eppi gastric' area which was sore and where
all the pain was. By then the drugs must have kicked in because it felt like I
turned into the most intelligent person in the world. I was using eppi gastric
in every other sentence. I was cracking the ambo drivers up which made me feel
good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Now the drugs were not helping the pain. I told them I was about a 7
then 6 then 5.8 haha they just laughed. Then it went back up to 7. This was
alarming to them so I heard them on the walkie talkie "the morphine is
doing nothing, we are gonna give him more drugs". Now the next 2 drugs
were magical, like they sent me into space. If I thought I was intelligent
before I had now turned into a genius.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">One was a pill and the other I would recommend to anyone who needs pain
relief. It was a hand held green and plastic device, attached to nothing. I
explained it as 'vivid lollies' heck it was wayyyyy nice. I asked if I could
keep it and offered it to everyone I met. I asked everyone if they had tried it
and if they hadn't heck they need too! It was really nice aye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Once I got to the hospital I started to meet everyone, all the doctors
and nurses. It's like they were my best friends. There was 'picky' who wouldn't
tell me her Maori name, Bex who what I thought was the nicest nurse in the
whole entire world, and the Ed the doctor, who name wasn't Ed but he had ED
DOCTOR on his top so that was his name for the rest of the night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">While drugged I just wanted to talk to people and any chance I had I
took it. I would just chat about different things and all my aim was to make
them laugh. The x-Ray lady couldn't care less. I spewed every time she asked me
to move. I told her I was super-hot and she said there was nothing she could
do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Jessie called the hospital during it all and I talked to her and
couldn't stop raving about this vivid lolly. She said I was high as a kite, I
thought it was quite funny. I also had the itchiest nose in the world which I later
learned was the effects of the morphine. Every time they asked me to move I spewed.
They said they would wait until the drugs wore off and see what happened. I was
terrified as I thought the pain would come back<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">They did an ultrasound and set me up for a CT scan. They said if
anything is damaged they would have to cut me open and fix it. This also
terrified me. As the drugs wore off I was just groggy as, and felt terrible.
Sure enough the doctors were still poking around where it hurt. The most famous
question from anyone that checked my heart rate was... Do you know you have a
really low heart beat? To my reply was yes I have been told my whole life. It
went in between 30 and early 40's apparently that is low.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Now the CT scan was amazing. Firstly I was scared out of my pants cos I
had read a book called 'visions of glory' and the person in it reacted to the
chemical and died! I go in thinking 'heck they better look after me'. Now they
did warn me of a warm feeling all over my body and a feeling like I was peeing.
I thought 'yeah ok'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">They told me to put my hands over my head and relax, and so I did. Man
the sensation was nice as. I felt my body go warm the feeling of me peeing
myself and thought 'just roll with it this feels way good'. All those people
who have had it done you know what I'm talking about haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">They put me in this other part of ED and there I waited until I got
discharged. Besides being half asleep and farting it was a pleasant time I
there. I thought about trying to cover it up but I thought stuff it haha. Jess
came in to keep me company it was nice to see her and spend time with her. The
kids came in previous but it wasn't working.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">The doctors gave me nothing, said everything was fine and that they
didn't know what it was. They said the logical thing 'it should get better, if
it doesn't come back'. They did all the tests so that gave me a peace of mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Well guess what it came back 6 days later and it was
another roller coaster of events. Sure enough they drugged me up and I felt
like a pharmaceutical. The pain wore off but it was identical to the last
attack. Like when I felt the pain coming back I knew I was in the process of
hours of pain, it was torture</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

They are covering all their bases now which is nice. They have me booked into
get a scan which hopefully helps that matter. I guess what I have learned from
all this is life is precious and you could be gone in an instant. Make sure you
do things that really count, forgive those people that have hurt you, and most
importantly be kind to your family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

time. I do think however it is time to show them. Hope you enjoyed the read. -

How awesome is this?!? We wake up to this and the mountain is just so beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have had a week here and Jessie has slowly turned the house into her home - she is so good at it (like she could do it professionally). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is just a few photos. As you can see the school is across the road. Obviously as most photos, they don't capture the real essence of it. More to follow... Enjoy!</span><br />

Our 3 hole golf course in our backyard (yes it was big enough), our american gridiron games (especially the move cords), and backyard cricket. We loved it with a passion and were always out there playing games.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It looked like this</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used this story to my benefit and went in a competition explaining what I wanted and why. And whaddayaknow who is getting a free cricket set? I was stoked as. You know what though every time you buy one from the warehouse or K-mart the wickets are as high as your knees, the ball is rubbish, and the bat will break in a day. Not this one though it's the real deal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well... as explained in the title we have been trying to win this comp for years. We had made every semi previous only to loose. And like most sport it still haunts me to this day. But yesterday was our moment in the sun. We had been playing mean as touch footy. In the last 4 weeks no-one scored more than 2 tries against us. Our intensity went up a gear and our minds became strong. We versed all our rivals in a final series a won last night 6 -2. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a great night. We won our fees paid for next year and $150 of beer, which we quickly changed to a bar tab. We pretty much brought all there non alcoholic beverages and chips and were mad lapping it up. Even game some lemon, line and bitters and chips to the referees. </span></div>

As you can see it was dress up time in the Wright house hold. There was controversy in what to where as each organisation had a theme. For example RS = skittle colours, EQ = Where's Wally, Primary = Disney. I thought I came under primary as that was my calling at the time. It was quite cool how we decided to go all out and it all came from google "blonde disney characters'. You guessed it Dash appeared and that when the excitement began. I need to say thanks heaps to mum she brought me the red pants and motivated me to go hard or go home haha. It was a church activity and the real star was Joshie. I thought he pulled it off brilliantly. As you can see it didn't take long for him to rub it off. Gracie was also super cute being tinkerbell. Jessie through her creative flair designed the logos in no time and off we went. Just another day in the Wrightee Bunch...</div>

I feel a little bad that all my facebook posts and blogs about Gracie are negative - tongue in cheek- but negative. Truth is while Gracie requires a LOT of attention and a LOT of patience, she is super awesome and kind and clever and entertaining and it doesn't end there. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Almost every single story in that portfolio talks about Gracie's determination, persistence and her 'can do' attitude. I'm so excited that I have all these moments documented. There was a whole story written for her when a ball came over the fence from the neighbouring primary school, she wouldn't give up until she got that ball back over, she refused all help but kept her frustration at bay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What an awesome story for such a small moment that would otherwise have been missed if it wasn't for Gracie's teachers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her frustration sometimes gets the better of her and she can be a little (hugely) irrational but she THRIVES on the praise she receives for completing the task. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She takes after her father, Haydn rarely gives up when he really wants to achieve something, and he LOVES it when I tell him how awesome he is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am excited to see where these traits take Gracie in the future and I am very proud of her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to work on the 'giving praise' part as it's what keeps her going until she finally achieves what she set out to do. I find it really hard to give praise and I won't go into why I find it hard, but I'm working on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love Gracie and I am glad she chose me to be her Mum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">P.S. Gracie has only been at kindy for two terms and her portfolio is almost FULL, we are so blessed to have enrolled her at such an awesome kindy and so blessed that all her teachers are so passionate and great at their jobs. Here is their website if you wanna check it out <a href="http://www.albanykindy.wordpress.com/">www.albanykindy.wordpress.com</a></span></div>

....here's the evidence. I have lost control of Gracie. I can't even BEGIN to understand how to parent this child. Thanks to Kristin's talk last Sunday that I was fortunate enough to read, I will be spending a lot of time on my knees begging Heavenly Father to help me know how to raise this girl.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

........takes herself to time out because she knows if I can't communicate with her she needs to get out of my face. I'm pretty impressed by how quickly she calms down. I go to chat with her and find her in my room, under my bed, unwrapping all my tampons from my handbag.</div>

One of the was Kelly Tarlton's. I was pretty stoked that is was cheaper than normal so we went along for the day. It was really entertaining and much better than last time I went. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> First up was the penguins and the kids loved them. Joshie just stood at the window and watched them swim for ages. We stuck around for the feeding and the kids loved it</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Gracie also loved it and was amazed at all the underwater animals. Her Favourite was seeing all the Nemo Fish. We lost the kids on a few occasions and Joshie would be found just staring at the fish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We got a new dryer the other day and it came with a massive box. I thought to myself "I'm gonna make something for the kids". Weeks went by and nothing haha. Until we started playing rocket ships with the toy baskets. It gave me the idea to make a rocket ship. Now it doesn't really look like one but we had to improvise. My favourite picture is Gracie balancing the sticky tape (3rd one) haha. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well we planned out our holidays the other day and it was all botched from all of us being sick one of the last 4 days. Movies was on the list and we decided to go and watch Monsters University©. It was a pretty cool movie. Very entertaining for all ages.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4wIpgd9UEdY8PadpRH9v-Y2V4FPiMP-E5G470l1hzVUToaqa2QCoEQnkrTy7iTNra4qhEVoxt9Np89ExUIRnhz9cPHsqgLbUN36_1IgS4CC-KngAWOVMjpQJp7SEs43J_VlqdH36Mas/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-07-19+at+7.44.14+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4wIpgd9UEdY8PadpRH9v-Y2V4FPiMP-E5G470l1hzVUToaqa2QCoEQnkrTy7iTNra4qhEVoxt9Np89ExUIRnhz9cPHsqgLbUN36_1IgS4CC-KngAWOVMjpQJp7SEs43J_VlqdH36Mas/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-07-19+at+7.44.14+PM.png" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The Kids stayed seated until the last 20mins so we were pretty happy with that. Although at a completely silent part Joshie stole Gracies drink bottle so she yelled out "Heyyy!" It was pretty crack up.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thomas the tank engine has nothing to do with the movie. It was just a poster at the movies that the kids loved. I thought it was pretty cute anyways. Well, gotta love being a teacher. </span></div>

I must say I am pretty chuffed. Jessie emailed me a design and said can you make this? I thought 'yeah i'll give it a crack'. When I saw these pictures I thought 'I got this!'</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jF2MaDkjS1VEvty-HlbGFRdLm8DGn_xMaucl6aSikDNeuC424LEz43CFLdmLqi3IIjFCfpmOfLU2aCbGlrgIvEZUoLAOd7LxDWY1kFmeTZX2CMAD-dkTpa1OU0kiJ7gWHEQ08bJPylQ/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-07-10+at+8.52.01+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jF2MaDkjS1VEvty-HlbGFRdLm8DGn_xMaucl6aSikDNeuC424LEz43CFLdmLqi3IIjFCfpmOfLU2aCbGlrgIvEZUoLAOd7LxDWY1kFmeTZX2CMAD-dkTpa1OU0kiJ7gWHEQ08bJPylQ/s640/Screen+shot+2013-07-10+at+8.52.01+PM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> As I started on the design I went into the Woodwork Room with high hopes. I let the teacher know my plans and they said 'use whatever you can find', so sure enough that was all I need to just help myself. I pulled a piece of wood out that was big in size and cut and painted it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I made this a class discussion asking the kids what they thought about the ramp. There is a 90º angle, a triangle always adds up to 180º, at what angle should the ramp be so it doesn't smash at the bottom but flows right off. The kids were hard out into it. Every fitness session we would look at my design first to think about improvements and better design for my destroyer (Joshie).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I was creating it students were so intrigued in asking me 'what is it?, who is it for? you're such a nice dad! It was honestly a time where the students watched and listened to exactly what I had to say and was doing. It's like they were in a trance with me explaining my errors, plans and success'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> With a coat of varnish and a few stickers this is the final product. I am truly happy with it and found joy in making it. It took me about a week and any living moment at school I was in that woodwork room making a toy for our boy. Lunch time, before school, after you name it I was there. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am proud of this. It was therapeutic, exciting and can't wait to see Joshie's face when we give it to him. Oooooooh he is going to be so excited. I love my children and glad I didn't go to the warehouse and buy him something. Yes it could of been easier, and wouldn't of taken so long, but why would you change it? It might be destroyed, or even not played with much, but my philosophy is 'you always enjoy/love what you create!' It is definitely the case with this. Enjoy!</span></div>

So, random post for y'all. My sister-in-law Melissa just happened to email me and recommend I read this book, whilst I was sitting in the library trying to figure out what book to read next!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have recently cut down on my TV time significantly so I have been reading a lot more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I HATE reading cheap trash, but it's such an ordeal making sure I have the next brilliant book requested on my library account.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This book was GREAT, really easy, really quick read, insanely romantic and G rated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be buying it to go on my bookshelf. If I were a book I would want to be on my bookshelf, it's quite an achievement to get on there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I may also be pre-ordering her next book which comes out in September. Can't WAIT!</div>

Me and my friend Desiree were having our first playdate one day, and we soon realized we both had similar interests and dreams. We both expressed how exciting it would be to open a market stall and sell our stuff, not really for the money but mainly just to satisfy our craftiness and also to have the satisfaction of setting up a stall and making it look AWESOME!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We booked out a spot for four weeks in the month of March at the very popular Takapuna Night Markets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The atmosphere was awesome and we sold cushions, boshie monsters (soft toys), hair accessories and various framed printables, ALL hand made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our first two weeks we were in a spot a little way off the main road, but we still did really well thanks to our friends and families who came to support us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For our third and fourth week we were lucky enough to be moved to the main road and it was SOOOO great, we LOVED being in the heart of it all and being as we had exhausted our family and friends wallets, being at the front meant we could make more money from the walk ins.</div>

It was damn hard work and we both had a couple of all nighters (more Dez than me though, lol), and I had some amazing friends who came and did my hair accessories with me for a WHOLE DAY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a LOT going on in those four weeks, The Nakayas were here, there was a family wedding, Joshie cut his eye open and every member of my family came down with the flu including me. It was really tough but really fun too (minus Joshie and the flu).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me and Dez set up a facebook page ( <a href="http://www.facebook.com/charlottegrace.nz">www.facebook.com/charlottegrace.nz</a> ) so that we could sell our stuff in the future and we will have our next set of stuff ready to go very soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seeing people buy our product was so rewarding, you never think something you have made is that great but everyone loved our stuff and it was so nice to hear those compliments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me and Dez often laugh about how crazy and stressful that month was but we knew if we hadn't done it then, we never would have. It was really important for me to have a goal to work towards that had nothing to do with any member of my family but me! LOL sounds selfish, but I was having a hard year trying to work out all my post natal depression stuff and this really made me feel like I was worth something. I'm so glad that Dez was up for it, I learnt so much from her whilst doing it and gained a great friend. Mates and money don't always mix but me a Dez were on the same page the WHOLE time and it was a pleasure working with her.</div>

With the pressures
arising from my fan club to produce a blog I thought I better get on to it.
There has been a lot happen of late but let me draw your attention to date
night in Napier. Now we went to go watch Ironman 3 and it was epic, loved it
hard out, but that is not a part I would like to illustrate. Now me not being
from Auckland I know everyone hates Aucklanders. There is just something about them that everyone hates. So in public situations I aim not to
mention it at all and blend in with the locals. Jessie on the
other hand it's every other sentence. Let me explain… Hi I’m Jessie from
Auckland can I please get some tickets to see Ironman,,, Hi I’m Jessie from
Auckland where are the potatoes,,, Hi I’m Jessie from Auckland is 105 customers
a lot down here cos I’m from Auckland and we go through thousands. As you can start to see we cant get through talking to
people about Jessie letting them know that she is from Auckland. I was quite
humiliated because I could see it on their faces (Aucklander!!!). I explained the
situation to Jessie and seemed to be a mocking point for the night haha. Enjoy…
plenty of blogs to follow</div>

So as a family we went to the luge today and it was way choice. Joshie went down it 5 times with me and loved every moment. I knew it was getting a little fast for him because I felt his hands clasp my legs tighter haha. He was such a good boy though. Straight after we finished the ride he would be running to the line and waiting to go back on (it's like he knew where the fun was). We had some pretty choice races as a family diving in and out of each other, terrorising the locals, and having a blast. I did think Jessie and Gracie would of loved this, maybe a family trip is in the cards. Anyways without further adue here are the photos of the day. </div>

All of the Mum's I invited had two kids. I suggested to all the ladies that we get babysitters for all of our toddlers..........IT.WAS.HEAVEN.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stuck a whole heap of paper to the floor and laid out crayons and we also filled a play tent with balls and they were entertained for the whole party!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the Mums was standing at the table and thought...'stuff standing up, I'm pulling up a chair"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Within five minutes we all had chair around the buffet table and we stuffed our faces and laughed for a good hour. Its was so great to get that time out.</div>

I seem to also have started a new tradition for my kids first birthday cakes................they suck!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gracie's first birthday cake was a disaster, Joshie's was no exception. Gracie's Second Birthday cake was GREAT so I am hoping to follow the pattern for Joshie's second.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like a horrible mother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh well, it tasted ok.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later on my family came over for cake and presents and once again, the cozy coupe came out and we were throwing the kids down the hill.</div>

This is my nephew Caleb, he is fearless. He did this multiple times and LOVED it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next one is Joshie's first time, he wasn't quite as happy about it as we thought he might be.</div>

He had a great day. We love Joshie a lot, he is such a happy, sweet boy and he keeps a smile on all our faces.</div>
