Topsy, Tim and Turning Three.

The boys and I have just come back from a wonderful week down in Masterton with Topsy and Tim. For some reason I forgot to take many photos but here are a couple form the week...

The trip down went pretty well with three small boys. Magazines at the airport helped.


The plane was fun. Dora on the iPad was a big success.


Thankfully they all slept over the hill so we avoided any car sickness.


Sadly the weather in Masterton was not great so we had a lot of inside time. Thankfully Topsy and Tim have the Kidszone channel and the tennis was playing for the grown ups!

We managed a trip to Tinui to visit my old friend Luce Williams, old school buddies Nick and Bridge were there too as well as new friend Sarah. Between us we have 15 kids, 12 of them boys, and 3 more on the way!


We had hoped to get to Wellington to catch up with the Paytons but the weather was so bad we managed only to get to Danniverke McDonalds for a quick play in the playground! Was great to see them though! 


I found some old photos of me while at home and the resemblance to Rupert is quite amazing. I always did wonder where he came from!

  

Hannah and Vita are also very similar...


We had such a wonderful week in Masterton. Thank you Topsy and Tim (the icecream man) for looking after us all so well!

Don happened to come home from a few weeks away while we were gone and got stuck into some jobs around the house. I came back to these amazing bookshelves in my living room!



Monday the 13th was our sweet Charlie Bear's 3rd birthday. He had a very happy morning opening his pressies... 



The best one being his very own pedal bike!




We had a few of his buddies over for an afternoon party... Ninja Turtles all the way!


  

There was lots of playing in the priate ship and a pinata for fun.


Happiest of Birthdays to our special 3 year old!


In other news Baby Rutherford number 4 is growing nicely - a big baby like its brothers. We didn't find out the sex but are anitcipating another little boy... 


'Till next time. x
