TAG TWO: Seven Random or Weird Things About Me
1. I've done this ever since I could remember. I always have to lay on my stomach after I eat lol. I have this crazy thought that if I lie on my stomach it will smash my stomach and make it flat. I dont just do this after I eat I do it any chance I get:) Manaia thinks I'm crazy he always tells me babe its not working hahahaha whatever!!!
2. I'm addicted to my girdle hahahaha. Ever since I had kids I've been wearing them ever since. I own like 20 pairs. Manaia freakin hates them but I cant go anywhere without them on. I even wear it to work out and even to bed. I know crazy huh. The best one's I found out there is Dr. Rey's Girdle (he's the plastic surgeon on Dr. 90210)
3. I love anything reality. I'm a reality tv junkie:) Some of my fav's are The hills, Sunset Tan, Dr. 90210, I love money, and the list can go on and on and on.
4. I'm not as strong as I look, I'm the biggest crybaby put always try and put on a tough face. I hate crying in front of people probably cause I have an "ugly cry" lol.
5. If I cant find something in my house I'll just run to the store and get another one so I dont have to go looking for that item, so I always end up with like 20 things of vicks, lip gloss, band-aids ect ect...
6. If I buy something new I feel like I have to open it and use it right away even though I'm not done with the other one. examples shampoo, toothpaste, make up, lotion, even my dogs food. I know I'm going crazy right.
7.I hate dressing up, I love just wearing tshirt and shorts or sweats. I only dress up if I have too.

So last weekend way Ray and Kass's wedding:) I cant believe how fast it came up. Everything turned out beautiful. Manaia and I were both in the line, Kass is my cousin and also one of my best friends and Naia played with Ray at BYU. We are actually the one's that hooked this lovely couple up. I know I know best MATCHMAKERS EVER!!! I'm so happy that my sis found the man of her dreams and her prince charming:) I love them both and wish them nothing but love and happiness for them. I love you guys and want to thank you for letting us be a part in your beautiful day:)

Sundance Weekend...

Well this past weekend we decided to go up to Sundance and try out their brunch. It was really good... Kinda pricey but hey now we can say we tried it:) After we ate we decided to go on the ski lift. The kids absolutely loved it. I forgot how beautiful Utah is:) It felt like we were in a different state. 

Missing my mom...

So on the 25th of this month it will be the two year anniversay of my moms passing. I still cant believe we've survived this long without her here with us. My mother was the best mom anyone could ask for. She was such a sweet and wonderful spirit, and I know thats why she was called home early. Heavenly father needed more spirits like her to do his work on the other side. I find myself daydreaming sometimes thinking that she is still here with us. Its so sureal to think 
that I will never get to talk to her anymore, give her hugs and kisses when I need them, or to think
that my kids will only have limited memories of such a wonderful woman. I miss you mom so much
and I know you are watching over us each and every day. We will always love you and will never forget you and everything you stood for. RIP Mommy!!!

I'm a soccer mom:)

So Naia is finally old enough to play sports. Once he turned 4 I signed him up for the Lehi soccer program. He loves football but is too young to start playin so I guess soccer will have to do for now. He's had 3 games so far and he's still getting the hang of things. I dont think soccer really gets his attention too much because in his last game right in the middle of everything he starts doing the Haka, yup the haka. I about died laughing it was so funny. He started doing the haka when he saw the BYU football team doing it. He is just too funny. He also hates it when he has to sit out and let some of the other kids play. If no one is paying attention he'll just run onto the field and start playing:) I'm so excied to watch his games because he surprises us with intresting things to watch for besides just a boring soccer game.

This is him doing the haka in the middle of the game:)

Lil Naia's 4th Bday Party:)

So my lil man is turning 4 this saturday but were not having his party till the 23rd of this month. So if you want to come help us celebrate his big day it will be held at Eagle Summit park in traverse mountain. I have invitations so I'll get them to everyone. Were going to have like a 100ft slip in slide for all the kids and us adults that act like kids. So I hope to see everyone there:) Call me if you have any questions 801-867-7910 and I dont have everyone's address so give me that too:) See ya soon!!!

2nd Runner Up

So I'm kinda late posting this cause the pageant was last week. Anyways Sailau did great she was 2nd runner up but I thought she should of won:) And I'm not just saying that cause she is my sister. She really worked it up there and looked like she's been doing it for years. The girl that won did good but she didnt really stand out to me LOL... I told Sailau they didnt pick her cause Samoa just aint ready for her:) She worked the crowd and judges. I couldn't believe that ways my lil sis on that stage working it like that. When she did her talent she had us all in tears. She sang an original song by our cousin Tina Nuimatalolo called 'Born To Sing". I'm glad its finally over though. Just wanted to say great job sis and keep pushing for your dreams.

Miss Samoa USA 2008

So my lil sister Sailau is running for the Miss Samoa USA pageant. The pageant is this Saturday and I cant believe its finally here. It's been really stressful but with the love and support from family and friends we have been able to overcome the little bumps in the road. The whole pageant festivities started last sat. The girls have been making appearances on TV, hospitals, and flag day. Its really exciting to see Sailau grow as a young women through this. I really wish my mom was here to see her right now. I know she would of been so proud of her "babygirl". We go to all the events with Sailau and every single time they introduce her or spotlight her I just start balling uncontrollably. I honestly think its my mom crying through me because I'm not even feeling emotional about it and yet my eyes tell a different story. I'm not an emotional person in the first place so when I do this and yes this is every single time they have introduced her I have to feel that my mother is using me as her crying tool:) I have no doubt in my mind that my mother is watching us right now and is cheering her on along with my grandma and grandpa. Anyways I just wanted to share that with you all:) Lets pray she wins on Sat!!!

Danity Kane Concert:)

Okay so I am a freak when it comes to Danity Kane. I love their music, style, and just everything about them. I've got both there albums on the day it was released:) So for my birthday this year my cute hubby surprised me with tickets to their concert. It was at Harry O's in Park city. Manaia used to do security there so he was able to get us in early giving us front row at the best concert in the world. We had so much fun!!! One of the members must of noticed me singing all there songs because on their last song "damaged" he put the mic to my mouth and let me sing away. I have to say that was the best gift EVER!!! I love my husband so much and want to thank him for such a great bday gift. I will never forget this one:)

Reggae Summer Breeze

Us enjoying the concert. It featured 676, Natural roots and Mana poly all-stars. It was so much fun:) 

Halloween 07 Best costumes EVER!!!

Taimane "Knucklehead"

Taimane is almost 3 and is a hand full. He was my sick baby from the moment he was born. He had to stay in the NICU after birth for about 3 weeks. He had pneumonia and RSV. This was probably the scariest and hardest time in my life. My kids are only 11 months apart so it was hard to leave lil Naia with my mother in law while we were at the hospital with Taimane. Naia was still a baby so he didn't understand why we always had to leave him. For the first year of Taimane's life he was hospitalized 7 different times. He pulled through every time but it was still scary going through it. Mane is 2 almost 3 and he is doing really good. I get paranoid with every sickness he gets so I'm always taking him in just to make sure. He is the clown of our family and also the biggest knucklehead. He gets into everything!!! He loves to talk back and say not nice words. LOL I have no clue where he learns it from;) He is a mommy's boy to the fullest. I don't know where our life would be without our miracle baby.

Lil Manaia

This lil guys is going to be famous one day I swear. I'm not just saying that because he is my son:) LOL He is 3 right now and can already dance better than me. He loved watching America's best dance crew and got alot of his moves from that show. If he just sees something once he's already trying to do the move. He has got rhythm for days!!! He is also a football fanatic. Since he was a baby the only thing he would watch on TV is football. He knew how to get into a 3 pt. stance by the time he was one. If you ask him are you a boy he says no I'm a football player. I cant wait till the day when he is old enough to play sports. Every time we pass by a park he always ask me if he can play football yet. Sooooooooooo Cute!!! I cant believe how fast they grow up. People always tell you time goes by so fast with them but I'm realizing that now. It feels like just yesterday when he was just a  baby and now this time next year we will be getting him ready for kinder garden. Crazy huh...

Loving life

Okay so here is a quick recap on our lives. Manaia is no longer playing football due to all kinds of injuries. I swear he is the most accident prone person alive. During his college days at BYU he had two major shoulder surgeries, 1 knee surgery and tons of sculpts. After BYU he was with the redskins. During his first preseason game he pulled his groin. Now you all know without your groin you can even walk let alone run. Okay so then he played almost a full season with Utah blaze and ended up tearing up everything in his knee the same knee  he had surgery on years ago. So that brings us to the present. Manaia is currently working  for Mentoring Of America. He loves his job and is doing really good there. They have a 3 hour lunch break everyday so he gets to golf almost everyday as well. Must be nice huh:)
As for myself I went to school last year to become a Massage Therapist because we figured since Manaia gets hurt so much and practically lived on a massage table that this would be a great investment for not only him but also our boys when they get older and start playing sports. I graduated from UCMT last Aug. Since then I worked for AMP gym in Provo as their main therapist. During the winter season I decided to quit AMP and go for the big bucks!!! I got a job in Park City which doubled what I was making in Provo. I loved it and loved the money!
Since my season in Park city ended I've just been enjoying myself as a stay at home mom with my two crazy boys!!! Gotta love it right:)
