Mario Brothers

Our boys absolutely love anything Mario Brothers.  Even the cheesy 90's Mario Brothers show is one of their favourites, much to my pleasure!!  So at every opportunity they want to dress up as Mario and Luigi (especially Roman!) play with their Mario Brothers cars and toys, on the Wii (Super Mario Brothers, Mario Galaxy & of course Mario Kart!)  Its crazy.  So of course when I asked Roman what type of birthday party he wanted he didn't hesitate in saying "Mario golf party!"  He's always loved mini golfing too, so I guess there should have been no surprises there.

Yesterday was the big day.  My baby boy is now 4!  He is growing into such a loving, arty, cheeky, happy-go-lucky, sporty, cuddly big boy, we all love him so much.  He brings so much joy to our family.  He has a sweet way that no one in our family could have and we wouldn't be the family we are without him.

It really was so fun, doing the Mario party.....there were so many things I could have done but didn't, still it turned out just fine!


Yes I made this cake! lol It's not bad for my first attempt with fondant, I might try it again!??












Yep I attempted a surprise cake by putting the #4.  It was ok, apart from the fact it rose to the top!  I now know my mistakes and if I do it again, will know what to do better. 



I just love his face of excitement!!






Although we are missing the Nau kiddos we did manage to get everyone else who came!




Thank you to everyone who came and made Roman's day special!  (Especially Zion, whose birthday is was also!!  Happy Birthday Zion!)





Oh and just to prove how Mario crazy we are, here is a few photos of our talent show act we did back in January.  I will try and get the video clip on here at some point!

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull moment with him around,

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah playing ball with Zara Handsome Roman

2 Months

Image
I know that Mateo will be 3 months in a few days, but I haven't caught up with his 2 months as yet, so I will post that now! At 2 months, he took his first airplane ride from Hawaii to Washington (state).  He is a brilliant flyer.  He slept the whole flight!  I even had to wake him to feed just before we landed. He is loved by all his siblings so much and mummy and daddy too, of course.  I often here Zara saying "I want Teo!" repeatedly till she gets him on her lap.  The she proceeds to sing to him and kiss him continually.  It's so cute!  Although I fear he will always have 2 mothers growing up :)  Noah and Roman love their cuddle times with him too.  Noah is such a great big helper with Mateo.  I know that they are all going to be great friends as they are growing up! Mateo loves to smile at everyone and he has the biggest most beautiful smile!       Mateo loves to eat. At 7 weeks he weighed 13lbs 4oz!  Who knows what he will weigh in
