crazyLADY..

So I've been REAL COOCOO lately..lol Yes, I'll admit it! (VENTING SESSION)
Maybe its just me, but I feel that @ this point in our life (Chris & I) old mistakes are no longer mistakes they are choices you make knowingly and quite frankly I don't have time for BULL CRAP nor do I feel I need to deal with it. I have been through way too much in the past and have come a LONNNNNNG way to GO BACKWARDS. So lets quit w/the kitty crap and move FOWARD.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband he's AMAZING and has helped me with so much and especially during my unexpected crazy pregnancy but OH EM GEE does this guy know how to work my nerves and push the WRONG buttons! Apparently he's the only one who can make me go CUHRAYZEE. (maybe my hormones are out of WACK) who knows..lol
All I know is I want a better life for our lil family and I'm willing to struggle to get there even if it means I have to bust my butt to do it. You all know by now my Dad is my HERO and it's not because he's my Dad but because he has always taught us if we want something we have to earn it and WORK HARD for it and thru EDUCATION we can get far. He has done that all my life WORKED HARD to give me and my siblings a better life. He attended college in Japan and got his BA. He has led by example thru his actions. I love my Dad for that.
I feel we should do the same. I remember Pres. Hinckleys daughter speaking @ his funeral about how her parents taught by EXAMPLE what better way to teach your children then thru your very ACTIONS!
I know with alot of prayer the Lord will help my husband understand that we shouldn't wait for our "GOLDEN TICKET" or try to take the easy way out and bless me w/PATIENCE because i truly feel that I have run out of it and become the CRAZY LADY..

PRIMARY PROGRAM..

My daughter has a GREAT memory that I hope she won't ever lose, because my memory is totally SHOT..lol She always reminds me of things we need to do during the week or repeats what i say..lol So when it was time to get her part memorized she had NO problem.

We got ready Sunday Morning and baby kept rehearsing her part and due to her grandparents not being able to make it to her program we recorded her and sent it via video text to them.

I love Primary Program Sundays and listening to all the kids get up there to say their parts. Even tho this time was different because NONE of the kids remembered their parts they all went up there and read or had help. EXCEPT (yes proud Mommy moment) my daughter and her friend Emmet in her class. Al tho Chris and I weren't able to sit with the congregation due to we're teachers, we weren't  able to see my girl sing or say her part from the front, but I sure did get alot of compliments about her from the other ladies after the program was over=) Oh, btw did I mention Chris and I had a part too..lol Yeah I was like but we're not  kids..lol Chris lucked out or got cut off..lol They kind of forgot about him..lol Which btw he was totally fine with. It was fun and exciting to be part of the Primary Program. Had a wonderful sabbath and GRATEFUL for such a wonderful GOSPEL that involves the children and teaches them while they are young to follow the prophet and that our Savior LOVES them so much that he gave his LIFE for them. One of my fav parts of the program is listening to the kids sing. They are just so pure in HEART i LOVE IT!

missed it..

So my sat was kind of planned..Sleep in past 10..lol(serious) Pick up plates from a fundraiser, do shopping for sunday, go to a R.S broadcast, watch SAMOA vs FIJI rugby game clean and get ready for sunday(babies Primary Program)
 Nope..lol FAIL Woke up @ 8am, left to pick up plates @ 1 which didn't satisfy me =(and we went allll the way to the North side to pick it up, got stuck in traffic on the way back.
 CONSTRUCTION+ACCCIDENT= 1 hr and 30min or so NO BBUENO 1st time I sat in traffic in Vegas and can i say I got hungry again and felt like I was gonna starve..lol
Stoped @ SONICS (i heart sonics) SNICKER SONIC BLAST yummmm=)
I was way too tired to do any shopping after sitting in traffic so I went home to take a nap and i slept thru the broadcast and the rugby game.  NO WAY i missed it!( i was so upset w/my husband he so could have woke me up..lol So I have plans to watch R.S broadcast after church=)..

HOMEWORK..

So when your kids start going to school, GUESS WHAT they get HOMEWORK which means so do you..lol Not that its hard or anything, but you still have to sit there and do homework w/them. Which makes me think maybe i should go back to school. hmmmmm something to think about!

                                                          My Girl working hard..hehehe

stayingPOSITIVE

Today I went to see my doc for my monthly check up and my doc asked me so what did the specialist say. Oh, he said we're having a GIRL! He laughs and said oh really. I didn't realize he sent me to a specialist for a reason. Well I thought it was just for an Ultrasound. Nope he said that there was a noticeable spot on my babies heart. My heart drops, what does that mean?

He tells me its called a calcium spot or deposit that could be a sign of DS. He says it could be nothing and that we just have to wait for my next ultrasound. He told me to stay positive and that I passed all my test and it should be nothing but they just want to be sure.

I couldn't help but be a lil scared and praying that all is well with our baby. Staying positive and will ask my husband for a blessing for comfort when they get back from the game. Please keep us in your prayers.

GUESS WHAT?

 I had another dream last night..lol Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh crazy but we'll just have to wait and see. It was sooo clear, a beautiful 10 lb baby BOY..lol

So its not like I'm not EXCITED about my lil GIRL because my daughter and I are STOKED. We get to dress her up and lets be real they are way funner to shop for, its true! My hubby has even excepted the fact that we're having a GIRL. He sings to her rubs her(my belly) and kiss my belly, so we're excited!

but this dream oh WOW, like i said we'll have to just wait and see!
 116 days left or 16 1/2 weeks left CUHRAYZEE!

karensBACK..

So the weekend of LiL Chris's Baptism we drove to California and on our way back home to VEGAS Karen had an accident. She broke down in the middle of BARSTOW Ca of NO WHERE..lol it wasn't funny then but it is now..lol I was soooo scared, we barley made it off to the side of the freeway but still close that when a BIG SEMI passed by it felt like the car was ready to FLIP and of course I said a prayer. Thank goodness my girl slept thru it all and woke up when her Papa got there.
My Dad of course came to my rescue after hours of trying to get a hold of ppl and he towed the car back to his house and drove us alllllll the way back to Vegas dropped us off and drove back to Cali. So you can say his Labor Day was spent on the road=( my poor Dad.

Ok so that was what 2 1/2 weeks ago. So without Karen I had to walk take baby and pick her up not fun, go no where and eat well not as much..lol It has been a learning experience. Thank goodness for Tai and Oli they let us use one of their cars.THANK YOU OH SOOO MUCH..hehehe

But today we received KAREN (our car if u didn't know)lol My Dad took her into the shop right away but do to my car being the last of its kind, its kind of hard to find parts. The timing belt broke and bent all the valves(16) of them and all needed to be replaced YAY me..lol It was done Thur and my Dad called me telling me it was $1100. Me right away Dad I don't even have that what am I going to do? "You better start collecting some cans"..lol Well my Dad payed and brought KAREN out of the shop Sat. and a good friend who was in Cali drove her back to me today.

I am BLESSED with wonderful Family, I don't know what we(my lil family) would do w/out Latai and Oli. We'd be sooo lost out here in Vegas. As far as my Dad, who needs super heroes when I've got him.. He's simple the BESTEST thanks family we LOVE YOU.

                AND YAY KARENS BACK!

LOGAN UTAH

SATURDAY
So our ROAD trip to Logan, Ut. was for Chris's lil cousin Tia. She was married and sealed to her ETERNAL companion for all time and ETERNITY.

I just LOVE sealings, and it reminds me of the promises I made to myself, my husband, and my Heavenly Father when I was sealed. It was a BEAUTIFUL day that we all prayed for(literally) with it being WINDY the day before and chances of rain the day of we all prayed for a LOVELY day especially since the reception was outside.

She is just a BEAUTIFUL bride and you could tell that Beau was on cloud 9 being the luckiest guy alive=) a sealing room full of family and friends on both sides.

We waited outside of the BEAUTIFUL Logan Temple which I can say I have been inside of. All Temples are Beautiful and are all different BUT have one purpose and I just LOVE that.

When Tia and Beau came out finally..lol the 1st too greet them where the kids. They were so happy to see them, i thought it was the cutest thing.

We met Tia Friday and the 1st thing Chris asked her was "are you ready?" lol she says "i think its too late to back out now"..lol

A fun filled day setting up, putting 2gether YUMMMY foods especially the desert, yummm-ohhh. Alot of laughs Cool breeze a short nap..hehehe alot of FAMILY and FRIENDS. Oh yeah and HEAPS of kids (FONUAbabies) running around.

At the end, they DANCED the night away. and we stayed and cleaned up..lol


                 F..R..I..D..A..Y in to S..A..T

We arrived Friday after noon and met up with Tiffany who led us to an apartment but ummmmm it was on the 2nd floor..lol They forgot that Chris was in a chair..lol oooops. So Tiff escorted us to Drakes house that was 5 mins away and way BETTER..lol All Friday was meet and greet day, meeting Chris's 1st cousins their wives and their kids. BOY oh BOY was my girl LOVING it!! As soon as we got to Drakes my daughter didn't waste any time and jumped on the LOVELY playground that you would have thot for a sec you were @ the park, but NOPE just in their yard. She was on there all day all night with her cousins and they all got along real quick too.

the PLAYGROUND 

                                                       some of my girls FONUA COUSINs

                                                          Some pics frm the reception

We really enjoyed our trip to Utah and even thou we are BACK to reality and things are a bit crazy with no car and all BOOO=(, we don't regret going for one sec. BTW did I mention my daughter wants to move to Utah.lol crazy girl..hehehe My In-Laws kept thanking me for coming so far and so was my husband when we got back and all i could think of, it was nothing. I ALWAYS make time to go to my close family functions with or without my hubby because that's how I was raised to always support family and I want my husband to be the same. I also want my daughter to know her Dads side, on my side she's met soooo many of her cousins, Aunties and Uncles and I'm glad she was able to meet some of her Dads side (besides his brothers and their wives and their kids who she already knows so well) Which by the way we soooo missed them and wish they could be there too.

Witnessing Tia and Beau being sealed for time and all eternity was wonderful but  My fav part of the weekend was watching my daughter enjoy time w/her cousins, meeting family and hanging out w/my husband and his cousins as they play catch up, clown, talk about each other and just laughed. I wish I video'd one of Chris's cousins Danny dancing while Chris played his uke PRICELESS..lol Good times and GREAT memories especially when we got back to find out Uncle David is sick. =(

Life is short and we should always CHERISH every min of every MOMENT!!

READY4roadTRIP..

Picked up my girl from school Thur in our LOVELY rental, and she was like WOW Mom is this our new car? Where did u get it..lol I wish baby this is just a rental for our ROAD TRIP to Utah.

2011 Mazda Cx-9

So we've been planning on this trip since the end of July when my husband found out about the wedding from one of his lil Bros. He really did not want to go because he hadn't seen any of his family in awhile and because he didn't want me driving so far due to me being prego. I pushed him to go because hello its your family and he already knows I'm all about FAMILY and if you haven't seen them in 7 years what better time then NOW, right..lol So our minds were made up and the planning began. Alot of things did not go as planned and things like a broke down car and us being BROKE almost STOP'D us from going.

After picking up baby from school I did laundry, cleaned, packed and went to sleep @ 6pm  so that I would have plenty of rest for our LONG DRIVE. My husband was being stressed about going and changed his mind saying we were going to be short if we go we'll be BROKE when we get back. Lets just stay home.

I know my husband really well, and he knows that I don't like to stress. Everything that needed to be payed for was paid. And I knew if we didn't go he would regret it. So I told him we're going and we can worry bout the rest when we got back. My daughter on the other hand started to cry because she didn't want to miss school on Friday (yes, CRYED)lol I thought it was cute and told her I hope you feel like this when your older..lol  We talked and she felt better, my husband already had dinner ready so we ate and then we walked out the door.

So as we are walking out the door everyone having something in their hands I couldn't help but laugh @ my daughter and wish I had a free hand to take a picture of her w/her luggage in hand w/a ie lava lava around her neck like a scarf and a hat on her head as she pulls her bag, it was priceless.

We packed our car said our prayer and headed to the LONG 15 fwy.

Oh yeah highlight of the drive my hubby watching the rugby game Tonga vs NZ All Black..lol It was just funny watching him get mad..lol and of course long drive = GREAT convos w/my hubby arguing, laughing , clowning, laughing some more and talking bout the future. ITS THE BEST!

ooops forgot to add a pic of baby all laid out. She had soooo much space all to herself and didn't waste any time..lol

p.s baby slept the WHOLE way..lol

LiL Chris's Papi

LiL Chris was born 8 years ago Aug. 28 and chose to to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints and receive the Holy Ghost. We are so HAPPY for the choice he has made.

I cryed as soon as I seen him in the baptismal font and the spirit was sooo strong there. I couldn't understand as he was being confirmed a member and receiving the Holy Ghost for it was in Tongan but I sure do remember the spirit that I felt and it was so over whelming i couldn't fight back the tears. So grateful for wonderful and faithful priesthood holders. I shook the hand of a perfect kid and squeeezed him like crazy.

Chris and Tina after the Papi

There was alot of FAMILY, FUN & FOOD after it was a GREAT day!

We LOVE you lil Chris and we wouldn't have miss this day for anything.

newFRIENDS..

So its been a year since being out her A WHOLE YEAR I know, like No way right? But yes and since being here I have met some pretty cool people that I can call  friends. They are sweet, honest, funny, out going, AWESOME ladies. Tonight I had a girls night out with two of them to celebrate ones CAKE DAY (eliSiva) dinner and dancing. Food+FRIENDS=)FUN FUN

MANDY and eliSIVA

My New Friends had a BLAST Ladies thanks!

its a GIRL..

I had a 9:30 appt so I went by myself and let my loves sleep and had Chris get baby up and ready for school before I got back. I was so nervous, I don't why but I just was. I was so emotional too, I cried while I was leaving my house because I felt like I was doing it again by myself. I cried while I was laying there watching my baby on the big screen and cried again when she said it was a GIRL! Mostly for my husband, even tho he reassured me a couple weeks ago that he would be ok if we had another girl. I called my husband right when I found out. He didn't seem sad or happy. He just asked if everything was ok and if I was on my way home. I asked him not to tell my daughter that I wanted to when I got home.

Here is a CLEAR pic of the our LiL BABY growing very nicely.

Legs spread open indicating ITS A GIRL!)

Came home to share the GREAT news with my lil Girl, she started screaming, jumping up and down dancing with JOY! I'm glad she's having a lil sister, i get to have fun all over again..YAY MEE!

Wish me luck..

I have had many dreams that started last year around Dec. about having a baby BOY. This past month I also have had dreams about a BABY BOY. Now I know that doesn't mean I might have a BOY right now or maybe it means in the future who knows, but with all the different things that my body has gone through (way different from my 1st baby) btw she was AWESOME she still is.. How can it not be..lol Any who I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a BOY, right? We'll see..

Today's the 3rd time we will try to find out the sex of our and if baby doesn't show its goods, then we have to wait for a surprise on JAN 16, 2012 can u say BOOO..lol They do say "3RD TIMES A CHARM" right..lol

So baby this is Mommy this will be the only time I will tell u to spread them LEGS, PLEASE! I will love you regardless if you're a BOY or a GIRL. I just need to know what to prepare for PINK or BLUE.


TBA later today WISH US LUCK!

THANKyouHONEY..

Thank you HONEY..
for being patient with me.
for telling my I'm BEAUTIFUL when I look like a HOT MESS.
for holding me when I'm going through my crazy emotional mood swings.
for cleaning when I didn't have the energy to.
for cooking and catering to me.
for WASHING DISHES.
for taking baby for a walk outside.
for entertaining our daughter when I can't.
for rubbing my back and feet and for the countless other things you do for me and baby.

These past months have been crazy, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. But having a GREAT husband by your side makes it all worth it. I take long naps and my favorite part is waking up to my daughter laughing hysterically having a BLAST w/her Daddy. Or waking up and my husband has made a wonderful meal for me that I can eat. He's the BESTEST and I'm truly grateful for his friendship, his companionship, his love and most of all his sense of humor.

Thank You Honey,

I love you for ALWAYS ALWAYS!
