A Spotlight on KAIA
Our little girl started Preschool this September. The beginning of the rest of her life. There's no turning back now. She'll have school forever now. ( well it seemed like forever to me). She attends a private Preschool just 4 houses down on our same street. So it's nice she can walk. Deion and I walk her there 2 days out of the week. She's really enjoying herself with the other kids and she is actually learning and retaining what she learns there. They focus on a different letter every week and learn and do all sorts of fun things about that letter.

This is Kaia on her first day of school

She has been wanting to go to school ever since she first saw yellow school buses.


This Kaia's with her school bag and her new bike Daddy bought for her
KAIA has also been dancing in our Kapa Haka group. We're called KO NGATI HIONA (the people of Zion) We Sing and dance about our heritage from New Zealand. In the summer months we have alot a shows. We usually dance for festivals, church groups, companies, neighborhoods, weddings, pretty much anywhere people want a Luau. Sometimes we cook the traditional food (pork and potatoes in the ground) or sometimes just the show.
We have about as many kids dancing as adults. Kaia is the second to youngest one who dances. I have to say she totally steals the show. She is awesome at the words and the singing loud but just needs to work on smiling more and sticking to the actions and not getting distracted.


This was at a festival that happened to be by somes fields with a few cows or horses in them. Well right between somes songs
Kaia said kinda loud "eeww it stinks". Well the mics totally pick that up and the croud and us cracked up.
I'm so proud of her. She actually enjoys getting up in front of hundreds of people and performing. This is her swinging the Poi Balls.
