Missing my Mama :(



On Sept 25th 2006 my beautiful mother returned home to our Heavenly Father. Tomorrow will be the 3rd year anniversary of her passing. I don't even know where to start, the night my mom passed away we were all in the room with her. She was planning every detail of her funeral with us from what songs she wants and who she wants to sing them lol. My mom always said she did not want us to get her a wig because she did not care what she looked like but that night she told me and my sisters that she didn't want her grandkids or other kids to be scared of her so she asked us to bury her with a wig. My mom was cracking jokes and making us sing church songs to her while she just laid in bed with her eyes close and a big smile on her face. My mom was the type of person that had to please people. She did everything and anything for our family and even total strangers. She is such a perfect example of a "Mother Of Zion". I don't know how she does it because I find myself struggling daily with just my two boys. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about my mom and how different things would be if she were here. I know that one day I will be able to see my mom again and until then my heart aches for her every second. There are so many things I want to share with her and I long for her motherly advice with my struggles with my little family.

I love you mom and miss you more than you know.

Manaia's 1st day of school






Here is a pix of lil Manaia right before we took him to his 1st day of Kindergarten. He's been so ready to start kindergarten and is loving every minute of it. Manaia attends Daybreak Elementary. Every time we pick him up from school he always has a neat lil craft that he made in class that day. He's learning so much and already knows how the read the words I, See, The, Me, and You. So I got 1 down and 1 to go. Now that Naia is at school for 3 hours Taimane and mommy get to spend some quality time together. He's dying to go to school with his brother and doesn't understand why he can't go with him:( The teachers better be ready for Taimane because he is TROUBLE!!! LOL.
