Our last Birthday parties and Farewell from New Zealand

Hey everyone, see the seats with the Princess and of course me, the Prince of Kiwi Land (Wellington, New Zealand).  And those good looking guys behind us, yes, they are mama and daddy. This was a sad day for everyone as we get ready to leave here and say goodbye to our great friends who have shared the last three years.

Here we are with about 20 of our friends, trust me, we had lots more, but that's all we could fit around our cool table.  Not only was everyone here for our parties, they were here to say goodbye to mama and daddy.  As you will see from the pics, we must have been loved a lot.

 Wow, if all the Marines are here, who's protecting the Embassy?  My daddy says these guys save lives always and having them here protects us.  Sure glad they are on our side.  Thanks guys!

 Yes, everyone is gathering around to here my daddy say thank you and to also cut our cakes.  We are so looking forward to eating some cake and running around some more.

 Look at my mama, her smile, wow, and our friend Brandy.  She was here to say goodbye to us and our family.

 Here are two more great friends - Jodi and Myong, they are truly great friends and so happy they could share our parties.

 Yes, here we are, getting ready to eat a little before we get back to playing around with our friends.  I am so glad that my mama and dad planned this great night with our friends.

 Wow, we had so many friends come and I am so happy today.  Thank you all and know we love you very much.

 Here is my daddy with Makayla, they look so happy and they are enjoying the night as much as mama and me.

 Hey mama, how do you always look so lovely?  It must be because you have two great kids like me and Makayla.

 Here are so many friends, some new above and some old, those who were here when we arrived.  We are so happy that they came and shared in our party.

 As we ready to leave our great party, we could not leave without saying how much we enjoyed our Chipmunks playground and their owners and friends.  May God continue to bless you a big thank you for my families great party.

 Oh yeah, the best part of this all for Makayla and I was the gifts, but I think mama and dad loved their cake.  We got so many gifts, mama said we had to send some to Kuala Lumpur or we would have no clothes in our bags...hahahaha, she is so funny.  I would have been okay with no clothes.

Marine Ball - New Zealand 2011

Wow, mama and dad look good. They are getting ready for the Marine Ball and dad has all his bling on - what is bling again dad...okay, never mind...mama, looks like she belongs on top of a cake and not because she is tiny - because she looks so lovely. By the way, dad picked out her dress when they were shopping...good one dad!

Here they are at the Ball. I love them so much, they look so happy together, well, they should, they have two great kids - who else will give them praise like us..hahahaha.

Three lovely ladies here - they are all crazy too - but they love me and Makayla, and that is all that matters. Plus, they have cool kids around our age and we play with them.

Here they are again with the Ambassador. He came to see my mama and told her that she was the loveliest woman their that night. He also told us that he was sad to know that we were leaving next summer. He likes dad a lot also, his office is workhorse, whatever that is and gets things done quickly and efficiently. Again, these words are too big, but dad said to mention them..hahaha, you know he is writing this - so, do you think he really tells me anything.

Lastly, here is mama, she is doing her best to look like she knows how to dance after two kids. She had to sit down after three songs, drink water and then get back up to dance...those needed breaks were all she needed to dance the night away. Until my next posting - keep safe and love ya!!!!

Halloween in New Zealand

Here is our Embassy family and friends celebrating Halloween. The Embassy had a party and all the offices had candy for us. We had such a good time and everyone had fun.

Here we are, as you can see, I was Iron Man and Makayla was a Fairy Princess, somehow, she has to be a princess, that will never end...hahahaha. I do have to say, she clearly is a pretty girl and everyone says so. Now, we all know I am handsome and take after my dad...NOT - you know I look good because my mom is gorgeous. Sorry dad!!!

Here I am showing my outfit to my friends and did trick or treating. I made out like a bandit - lots of candy - I just wish I knew where it went? I bet dad ate it!!! Or used it that night for the local trick or treaters???? HMMMMMMM?

Okay, here is my little sister, the fairy princess. We took this right before we went to the Halloween party at the Embassy.

My first play at Churton Park Elementary

As you can see, my sister likes tigers, and when I did my first play, she was there to support me. I was one of the key stars in this production. Or that is what my mama told me I was...I will see when I get older if I won an Academy Award for this!

Here I am - doing my part in the play - no jokes about my cool red gloves, trust me, I was worried that it would clash and be too much - but I made it work. I had such a great time and enjoyed it. Everyone that came to see the play (which by the way played all week) enjoyed it as they gave me tons of hugs and kisses.

Like all stars, we have to get our make-up done and of course, it takes hours, okay, in my case, just minutes, but since I am little, it felt like eternity. But, it was worth it, you can't have the glare ruining my awesome looks!!! Enjoy and until we chat again.

Snow in Wellington

Hey everyone, welcome to Churton Park and the first snow in Wellington in over 20 years from what everyone tell us. At first, we thought, well, it will come down and then disappear - but, we were wrong and as you will see from the below pictures, snow just kept coming and everything here was closed for a few days until it melted away.

This is the side yard we have here. I love the snow and flowers mixed here. This is the NZ flower, the Silver Fern - well, right now, its the white Fern - HAHAHA - I made a funny. It was and is so lovely to see the snow here and yet not be overwhelming. Dad was lucky, he was in Singapore for travel and when we called him, he was laughing at us - as he told us it was about 90 degrees there.

Well, as we could not go out and about, we invited friends that day and made them stay the night to keep them safe. We ate and laughed all day and night. I told dad he missed it and all the great food and laughs we had. As you can see, I was having fun as was Makayla who had never seen snow before, well, she did, but in movies.

Here is the front of the house, we took lots of pics while the snow was coming down to show dad when he got back - now, were sharing it with all of you.
