Uncle Todd

Dad said that Uncle Todd was here on a flying visit. I didn't know he could fly. I guess thats why they call him super Toddler. He was here one day then gone the next. Check out his blog for snow boarding holiday. Snow boarding is like skate boarding without the wheels, but with a helicopter and lots of snow.

My 1st birthday party

My cousin Joshua turned 7 on 12 July. A day after my birthday! (11th). So my Uncle Wiremu said we could go to his house yesterday (Saturday) and have a party. How cool is that?? The whanau put on a kai for my cousin & I. I ate heaps, played with my cousins and got lots of cool presents. How cool is that? I had dinner at Nana & Papa Hunters on Tuesday and a party with my friends and family on Saturday! "Sigh" I wish my birthday was everyday!

Hows it going?I've been so busy lately i dont know where to start?Dad and I were having a laugh last week when he put me in this funny blue suit

Busted blogging

Here I am getting busted blogging. Dads already told me not to use his laptop.

I was trying to set up up a link to uncle todds blog site. Hes called supertoddler but dont be fooled this site is not for babies. If you dont believe me check out his trip to Thailand. He jacked me up with my own url. Thanks Todd you rock.

I borrowed your logo it looks cool and reminds me of someone.

Great grand ma

I went to a party on the weekend. My great Nana has turned Ninety. Im not even one yet so thats pretty old. Here we are four generations.

Auckland city of sails

A new Adventure begins. We have moved to auckland. Trains planes and automobiles. Here I am with my mum at micky D's. We had to be sneaky to get her in a photo.

By the way; Jafa stands for Just another fanatical aucklander. Go the blues.

2006 - Times of change, the start of a new adventure?

We are going through alot of change right now, my parents are trying to wind down the farm, a BIG job. They also need to find time to look for jobs and find us somewhere to live. I love it here but ('sigh') who knows where we will be tomorrow? My nana doesnt like this place anymore, she never wants to come back. But no matter where in the world I will live. This will always be my Turangawaewae. I wish I could help my family but I'm too little. Gee, I wonder what our future holds for us? What am I going to be when I grow up?

Whats that noise?

I love music but I'm not sure I like what I'm hearing right now Dad! I dont know about this new music, who is R Kelly anyway? I like the old school music by artists such as Marvin Gaye, George Benson, Eric Clapton etc...

Look at me!

I love my jolly jumper, just try and get me out of this....oh wait there are two things that will get me out is my kai and a cuddle from my Dad & Mum.

On top of the parapara

Today I went up to the parapara to visit my tree. Its growing really well, just like me. I'm up high and I feel like I'm on top of the world!

Aunty Mahina-a-rangi

I found this photo and had to add it to my blog. This is my Aunty Mahina (Dad's cousin) this is us just before my first New Years 2006. She came over one day to get some kina with my Uncle Hamuera (not to be confused with Hamiora). She said she was going to show my Aunty Shelly and Uncle Gary some photo's of us. She's so nice... Hey! where's my kina??

Aunty Jo & my cousin Liam

Yesterday I went to see my Nanny Nancy, Aunty Jo and cousin Liam. He is a lot older than me and he goes to kura kaupapa in Harataunga. We have the same birthday July 11th! But he is 5 years older than me. Here we are playing on the trampoline at Uncle Tommy & Aunty Jo's house. I had a yummy animal cracker biscuit (which is why I'm smiling because I ate it while Mum wasn't looking hehehe!)

My car seat

I love my new carseat, actually my Aunty Az gave it to me THANKS!! Now I can sit up and face the front of the car like my Mum & Dad and I can see out the windows now(my other one only faced the backseat). My Aunty Moira & Uncle Devin brought it to my place in the long weekend (Auckland weekend). Hopefully they will be adding some of their photo's to my blog soon?

I am so loved

Here I am with my Nana & Mummy and yes they love me lots. Always fussing over me but hey who's complaining!

Aunty Lee

This is my Aunty Lee, she is one of Mum's best mates. She came down from Auckland for a holiday and had a cool time (i have that effect on people you see)She bought a camera the weekend she came to stay with us. I hope she adds sum photo's, I never get tired of seeing myself!

Karakia tohi mo Hamiora

This is my special tree. Its only a baby like me, but will grow big and strong like me (but hopefully a lot bigger!). My parents planted my whenua (placenta) under a pohutakawa tree up on the parapara in Harataunga. My Grand Uncle Paki Harrison gave my Dad this karakia. I dont know what it means yet but I hope someone will translate it for me?

Ka tohia koe ki te tohi nuku ki te tohi rangi,
Ka tiaia koe ki te manu rererangi,
Ka hoaia koe ki te rau o te toroa,
Ki te huia titama kia pai ai to haere I te runga rawa.

I rangahaua koe I te po uriuri,
I te po tangotango,
I rakiatia koe I te piki kotuku
I te rau o te kiwi
I te korokoro kopara
I te huruhuru kakariki

Whakina atu ra nga kupu hono tangata,
He mea hei kawenga mou,
Ki kapiti runga e!Ki kapiti raro e!
He pokanga nuku, he pokanga rangi,
Po hihiko!Po rarama!
Tiaho I roto! Marama I roto!

Tena te pou, te poutokomanawa
Tena te pou, te pou o enei kupu.
Tena te pou o tenei whenua.
Eke, eke panuku, eke Tangaroa
Whano! Whano! Haramai te toki,
Haumi e! Hui e! Taiki e!

Look at my new trick

Look!I can sit up by myself with my hand on my head. Pretty neat trick aye? Soon I'll be crawling, and before you know it I will running around. Wuhoo!!I can't wait then my Mum & Dad will really have to keep up with me!

Wassup??

How's it goin? I think I look pretty cool with my new hat. Its a little big for me but that's ok, I'll grow into it. I like clothes, they look nice and can make you even better looking (as if thats possible!)

Did I do that??

With charms like mine my Mum & Dad will never be able to resist me (especially when I'm in trouble hehehe!).

Just another day at the beach

I love living in Harataunga (Kennedy Bay), its so beautiful here. I stay at my grandpa and grandma Hunter's house (you can see it behind Dad) We are right on the beach where you can get plenty of kaimoana (seafood) and practically live off the land (see my last post on my HUGE vege's!)I especially like taking my Mum & Dad for walks along the beach (they're so well behaved)

Just look at my vege's

I like gardening, when I get older I want to grow vege's like my grandma Margaret. Who knows? I might even be a farmer and grow paddocks of vege's like my great grandpa Harangi. I'm already off to a great start. Just look at my vege's!My courgette's are HUGE. They're nearly bigger than me!! and my kamokamo and brocoli are yummy. I cant wait till my sweetcorn and tomato's are ready. Not bad for a 1st time gardener aye?

Kia mau

Kia mau (Get ready for action)!! I am so fierce I would make a great kaea (leader) for any haka. I am only 6 1/2 months but still im practicing my haka on my parents. I dont think they've heard this one. Its called homai te kai (give me food). Wait till I get teeth!

Where's my socks?

Mum where did you put my socks?Maybe the socky monster got it?I could have sworn it was in this basket sumwhere??

I love my new bike

Look what Uncle Fred & Auntie Sarah gave me. A cool motorbike!It even moves when you push the button on the handlebar. I cant wait till I can ride it properly, then Mum & Dad will really have to run after me to keep up!

Check out my walker

Mum & Dad got me a walker for Christmas and now they have to move everything out of my way. It's really cool it plays music it has a steering wheel like a car. I cant wait till I get my license!

Kia rite, kia mau!

My Great Grandpa Harangi Harrison was an All Black & a Maori All Black. He was selected in 1915 to play oversea's for the All Black's but he was too young to go, and again in 1935 but he had to look after his farm in Harataunge and help raise seven of his kids. Here I am in my All Black's jersey with my first rugby ball.My Great Grandpa was a half back, but at this stage I look more like a prop.There are 3 generation's in this one picture alone. One day I hope to lead the haka...."Kia rite, kia mau!!"

Plum cute

Here I am eating my first plum. It's all over my face but I think it makes me look plum cute.My Grandma Hunter picked them off our tree and they're so yummy. Hey, what are you looking at?
