Sea's Date with Mommy and Leah

This was two weeks ago. Me and Leah took Sea to see Kung Fu Panda at the Dollar Theater because he was starting school the next week, I felt he needed just some "Sea" time. He was excited all day long to go and then was quite a little stinker while we were there. Oh well! LOL I tried!

Thanksgiving Point

I know I've posted before about Thanksgiving Point before, but this was the first time that Matai was an active participant. I met my friends Kim and Melanie there and 'Aisea and Matai met their friends 'Ami and James there. Here is Matai on the horse. I think I'm more excited for him than he is (and he was having a blast)!

'Ami on the horse. He looks thrilled! LOL

Viliami and his mommy, Kim.

Jamsey and his mommy, Melanie.

James wasn't sure about that big ol' horse.

Matai was very interested in these goats.

Wheeler Farm and a Walk to the Park

Me and my friend Jen both got exercise strollers and have been taking the kids on some fun walks.  We try to do walks that will get us some exercise and be fun for the kids at the same time.  We went to Wheeler Farm a couple of weeks ago.  Sea and Addy got to feed the ducks and visit the "petting" zoo.  We didn't actually get to pet any of the animals.  LOL  There were a ton of ducks and geese to feed though and they would come so close to you.  The kids weren't scared at all, but me and Jen were a little apprehensive of the birds.

I don't have any pictures from this, but yesterday me and Jen walked to the park by my house.  It's a nice little walk, but when we were almost there we noticed some construction workers pounding on the top of a car and telling the driver "open your eyes and don't go to sleep".  I ran across the street and told them that I was certified for the professional rescuer and did they need any help?  The guy was awake, but unresponsive and his legs were shaking.  We think he was on drugs and either having some reaction to it or something.  He would look at you with glossed over eyes and wouldn't answer any questions or talk at all.  It was weird, but it really got my adrinaline going!!  The kids got to see fire trucks and police cars!  

Long Time No See - Friends from BYUH

A little while back I got a call from my friend Kalli and she asked if Ioane would be available to dance at their wards Youth Conference. Io said he could do it and was even more excited when he found out that Chris Lutu would be the one in charge and that he would be able to dance with him. It was a fun time. We got to see Chris and Kaytee and Kalli and we got to meet JR, Kai and Sia. Kalli, JR, and Kai

Chris, Kaytee, Sia and Sea.

Kaytee and Sia.

Sea loves Chris. Io danced at another Luau this summer after this one and Chris made Sea a practice fire knife. He LOVES it. He plays with it all the time (sometimes he tries to kill Matai with it, but plays with it all the time none the less).

We Heart the Children's Museum

We've only been to the Children's Museum twice this summer because we've been so busy doing outside things. One time we got to go with Rachael, Gracie and Leah and the other we went with Jill, Livi, Ella and Leah. Here a just a few pictures of our fun times. I didn't have any pictures of Jill and her babies, but you can see some here.

When Blogging Friends Colide

Last month me and Kim were able to meet Tifani Sant. Here is our story. One night Kim was at my house and looking through my list of blogging friends. She was checking out my friend Wendi's blog (Wendi's blog is private too) when she saw that Wendi had a Tifani Sant on her friends list. Kim says, "that is funny, I grew up across the street from some Sants. Wouldn't that be funny if it was the same family?" So we called Wendi and asked and guess what? It was the same family!! Small world! So anyhoo, Tifani's blog was set to private, but I started seeing all kinds of comments on Kim and Wendi's blogs from her. She seemed so funny and I wanted to be in her world, so I emailed her and told her that since she was friends with two of my best friends that through proxy that made us friends and I should have access to her blog! Luckily she let me in!!! :) We've been blogging friends ever since........so it was really fun to go meet her! We went to Cracker Barrel where we had the cutest little waiter. However, I think he thought we would never leave. We just talked and laughed and talked and laughed. It was so much fun! We then went to Dairy Queen and got ice cream. I only wanted a small cone and that was what Kim got me and for the record, I didn't eat all it!!!
Like I said before. We just had all kinds of fun and laughed so much. It was a wonderful night. It was so wonderful in fact that I forgot to give Tifani her gift card for See's Chocolates!! DUH!!! I'm so retarded!! She won the chocolates a long long time ago on my blog and I have yet to give it to her, but rest assured that I have not forgotten! I also have not forgotten the I owe certain people CD's too. One day you will just be surprised!! :)
Thanks girls for a fun time and thanks Kim for helping me out that night!

Fun Times Swimming

Sorry that I am posting about things so long ago, but I need them on my blog!  I'm getting to the recent stuff, I promise!  All of the kids LOVE to swim so we spent some fun time at the hotel pool!  These are just some fun pictures from that.

Matai just chillin'.

As all of you know, I was a lifeguard and taught swimming lessons for years and I start my children going under water at four months old (only because they are so big, if they weren't I would wait till they were six months old).  My only rules are that my kids never be afraid of the water and learn how to swim well........and join swim team and go on to be Olympian.........LOL  just kidding!!  Sort of!  LOL  Anyways,  I just have to say how proud I was of 'Aisea (who is three).  He learned to swim all by himself this summer.  From one end of the pool to the other with no help!!

Matai Turns One

Matai had his first birthday party a couple weeks early because my family was in town. We are missing a lot of pictures of people. Amy has some AWESOME pictures that she sent to me on Kodak Easy Share, but I can not figure out how to download them to my comptuer from there. You'll have to settle for what I have and sorry if you got left out. A huge thank you to all who came and for the presents you brought!!

Yes my teeth are green and that was only from licking one finger! Ugggg.....who chose green frosting? Oh yeah........it was me! Oooooops! :) Everyone's kids were pooping green the next day!

Above is little Miss Kynlee and below are Nicole, Amy and Dennis.

Cori, Dennis, Jeff and Christina Clark. Also, one of their little boys is there but i'm not sure if it's Ben or Rocco.

Chad Hoyt and his girls. I won't even try to type the name b/c I will butcher them. Well, okay, I'll try, but don't get mad, Nicole, when they are spelled wrong. I'll say sorry in advance. We have Taylin, McKinzley, Oaklee and Brexlyn.

Tanner

Cody

Leka 'Aho

Rachael, Ryan, Leah, Dale, Kim, and Kim's relative? Sorry I forgot her name.

Poppy's flight came in in the middle of Matai's birthday party. Mom, Dale, Cody and 'Aisea went to get him while the rest of us stayed for the party and waited for their return!

These two will grow up to be the best of friends!

Excited to see Poppy!

'Aisea was Uncle Dale's bud!

For Time and ALL Eternity!

The reason all of my family came to Utah this past July was because my older brother, Dale, and his family got sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.  It was a beautiful day, but that's not to say that Satan didn't try really, really hard to ruin it for people.  These are the things that happened that day.

1.  The night before the sealing Dennis and Tanner both got 'throw-up' sick.  Poor Dennis had to miss everything!

2. Both Dennis and Leah's cars got broken into.  Whoever did it, bless his hateful little heart, broke out both of their passenger side windows.

3.  Me, Ioane and Leah were running late to the temple and then I took a wrong turn.  Then when we finally got to the parking garage, there we NO parking places.  After we finally found one, we had to run from the parking garage to the temple.  Um....have you seen me and Leah?  Running is not an easy task and we were both in church shoes.  Not flat ones either!  So anyways........on with the story.  We made it to the front desk with like 5 minutes to spare.  I was almost hyperventalating because I couldn't breath from running and I was crying, thinking I was going to miss their session.  We went in and, of course, had to rent clothing....UGGGG!!!  We got to the dressing room with like two minutes to spare and just barely made the session with me still bawling!!  I think every thing after that for that day was pretty smooth sailing.

We did have many family members get sick this trip.  Thank goodness, somehow, my family avoided it!

The 4th of July!

On the fourth of July we spent our time with Kim and her family. We had a ton of fun. We had good food, good friends, good times!!

Sea loved getting rides on the four wheeler! And this was Io passed out on the grass after a long day of volleyball.

'Aisea "loves" his little brother so much. Can't you tell? LOL

The kids anxiously awaiting the fireworks to begin. This wasn't all the kids, just the ones surrounding my kids. LOL

What's my problem?

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I have a ton of stuff to blog about and I can't seem to get my butt in gear.  Every time I sit down to blog, I just get overwhelmed and then I don't blog anything.  So I am going to start with a tag that I received from Kaytee and we'll see how it goes from there!
