anotherYEAR

I just don't know where all the time has gone, and I'm already 28..lol

I use to sit and think what have I done with my life, what have I accomplished.
I didn't finish school
I didn't serve a mission
I don't have a career
I have no Job
I don't have alot of money
I haven't bought me a house.

As i sit here in my living room and my daughter is JUMPING around on the sofa and my Husband is doodling, I SMILE!)
I have the knowledge of a wonderful and TRUE Gospel
My life is a mission
I'm a MOMMY and WIFEY
being a HOMEMAKER is a FULL TIME JOB
No money is the WORLD can buy ETERNAL HAPPINESS
and my HOME is where the <3 is and its with my LiL Family.

Material things come and go, but the gift that I have to be with my family for ETERNITY is one that I cherish for a life time and is irreplaceable.

Living the Gospel and LOVING my FAMILY and grateful to my Heavenly Father for these GIFTS that I have and hope that I can return the favor. Pres. Harold B.Lee says it best..

“Life is God’s gift to man. What we do with our life is our gift to God.”

Another Year, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEEEEE

theTUB

Our Apartment has this POOL that it is LITERALLY the smallest POOL EVER seen in an apartment and we call it the TUB..
Since its getting HOTTER here in Vegas and my daughter has wanted to try out the TUB, I told her we could but only in the mornings when it opened. The pool opens @ 9am and we go @ 10am.. I have to say the TUB is not so bad..lol its actually PERFECT for my daughter and she LOVES it.
I do have to say it has been nice to just RELAX @ the TUB(pool)

Friends she's made

We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most. Its the simple things that makes her HAPPY and when shes HAPPY, MOMMY is HAPPY . I love my LIL GIRL she is my RAY of SUNSHINE EVERY DAY!              

                                                                   

FAMILYtime

LOVE is really spelt TEE EYE EMM EEE (TIME)

Went back home this past weekend and had just a LOVELY TIME! I was so excited to leave I forgot to take care of sum stuff because then I would have stayed the WHOLE WEEK there.. Next time I PROMISE to be more prepared..lol

We got in FRIDAY afternoon on my SONs birthday and I'm so HORRIBLE i fell asleep @ my Moms house and missed his BIRTHDAY dinner.. I felt so bad made up to him the next day..

It was too late to go to my sisters house so instead we went and visited our other nephew (for theee 1st time) Baby Atunaisa Kalake Fonua he is just so adorable. I thot i would be holding this lil light weight baby but know he was a WAAAPPING 10lbs and u could totally feel it. It was so good to see him in his home with his Mom and Dad, you could totally see how HAPPY his Mom was as she spoke about him and held him and fed him.. I did not take a pic, but best believe it baby the next time i see you i'll 50 + pics to pick frm..

SATURDAY spent the day in L.A with my AFUTITI family. Met up @ the LAX airport to pic up my 2 of my Dads lil sisters, my unkleTU, my cuzzn LagiBeth and my Neice Lauren. Eating, laughing and hanging out @ the BEACH and LAUGHING some more it was so FUN, and normally I'm tired and grumpy, or NAUSEAS but NOPE i did good..lol

fun at the BEACH..

SUNDAY Baby Naisa's bbyBLESSING

had breakfast @ my Moms well my husband did..LOL but my Mom makes the BEST PULINI everrr real stuff.  So I took sum to go.  We made our way to Chris's parents house to get ready for Church my daughter went sacrament @my parents ward and we picked her up before going to our old ward RANCHO CUCAMUNGA WARD. I have to say I love going back to visit, i always feel welcome when i come back its like the 1st time every time. They are so loving and there is always a great spirit about this ward, i do miss them. Naisa's blessing had alot of ppl in his circle including my husband which is why he didnt want to join the circle, but I'm glad he joined the circle even if it was by force..lol Chris's Dad Naisa came to the back to get Chris and told him to get in his chair..lol

The blessing that Don gave his son was so moving, and just BEAUTIFUL i have to admit as soon as it started I was in tears. Baby is named after both his grandpas and Don mentions that bby bares the name of great men and the hands who hold him up will be there for him when he needs them, and like I said there were a lot of ppl holding him up..lol You definitely felt Dons LOVE for his son and for his wife. There was a eat after wards to celebrate bbyNAISAs blessing and it was such a LOVELY day outside and its always nice to see family come together in JOY, LOVE and of course LAUGHTER. I wish I could have had some of the food but due to NAUSEOUSNESS it has not been easy to eat especially meet=(.. But there was this CRAB SALAD that was by FARRRRR theeee BEST I had ever had I really mean that, it saved me because I was STARVING oh and lets not forget the FRUIT table (Heaven) I love FRUITS and I'm so glad I can still eat them. Back to the CRAB salad I sat there and ate 3 plates of it, thanks Ofa for not judging me every time I came back..lol Over all weekend it was wonderful and we were so sad I had to leave, even my husband was bumbed and he usually wants to jet back.

                                               This is the BOMB CRAB SALAD..lol

Some pics frm the Eat 

                         

I didn'd get to hold bby but thats ok, there will always be a next T.I.M.E so GRATEFUL for my FAMILY and the time we spend 2gether. Sad that the weekend came to an end but we'll be back=)
