Happy Mother's Day to my hero and beautiful mother Linda Ika!

Mommy and all her Girlys!


Each year its a no brainer what to get my mom on her holiday lol she loves to shop soo me and my sisters take her to buy her a dress for sunday and other things she likes! This year we added a lil bonus we took her to a spa to do her hair and massages. We love spoiling my mom on Mother's day because she deserves it! Single mother to nine she did everything on her own and still managed to spoil us. My mom is my hero and what I wish to become as I get older. She has taught me how to become a mother and to love and live the gospel as she does. Her faith in the gospel is soo strong and pure that it teaches not only me but my husband to always want to go to church because of the blessings she has received. I love my beautiful mom so much and is greatful for the woman I am today because of her! Happy mothers day Mommmy!

♥ My Love ♥

My name for my one and only lover lol. I met my hubby back in June of 07 and in the begining I really didnt like him because he wasnt my type he was cute but not what I dreamed about in my dreams lol literally everything he was, I didnt want in a guy he was just my cupcake no feeling guy lol...He was not LDS, smoker, drinker, a so call player and short lol but I guess you can say opposites attract?! We met at Oaklands famous burrito truck 55 Burrito... After that day I guess you can say the rest is history! Now LDS, secretary in the elders quorum, drug/alcohol free my Love changed everything for me & now is the world to me, even better then my dreams :) Our relationship was long distance soo who would of thought it would even last a month, but with his humble Love and just our Love for each other creating memories we made it work! My Love tries his hardest to make me happy, when we fight and I know its obviously my fault he is always the first to apologize or making sure theres food for me to eat after work, taking care of our son, working when he can or just being there when I need him the most. I love how he loves me and my flaws and doesnt try to change me. My hubby knows me too well and I Love that about him, me on the other hand always pushes his buttons and does not care what the outcome will be, because for some reason I know my hubby will always be there :) Happy 1 year anniversary Love!!

First picture we took together!

1st Easter!

This Easter was Jubilees 1st Easter and I loved it, even though it was soo last minute it turned out really fun. My mom wanted to do something fun with all 11 of her grandkids, but unfortunately some of my brothers and sisters had other plans so only a few were able to attend. We started the day with the kids painting eggs, coloring easter pictures and also had a easter word search game and Ariana won she found all the words faster then her aunt my little sister Sia lol. While the kids were busy enjoying the crafts Nancy & Sia went and hid all 237 eggs it was fun we made each kid their own easter basket and filled it with toys and candy! I know my Jubilee wont remember a thing but good thing I took pictures :) Happy Easter Everyone!

Ariana was happy her egg turned out the best!

BYU is always included in our functions :)

All he wanted to do was eat them lol

Knocked out right after we looked for the eggs!

Twinners!

The day Jubilee was born, literally EVERYONE said he looks dead on his father Paea! Its soo true, it took me awhile to see the resemblence because for some reason I was soo use to seeing Paea that I couldnt see another person looking like him, wait I take that back because all of Paeas little brothers and sisters look like him! I wish I had pictures to show you guys, but anyways we made this lil one together soo I thought he would at least look like one of my brothers! When I was pregnant I would always wonder how this lil boy would look, never would I imagine he would look like his dad lol but im glad because my baby is handsome like his daddy! Its soo weird because they look dead on each other but totally different behavior for instance his attitude and being such a crybaby lol. Paeas back in Seattle and its almost been a month since hes been gone and everytime I miss him Jubilee is right there staring at me and he reminds me of his father, its like a comforting feeling I love these two headaches with all of me :)
OMG after writing this post i realized I hardly had any pictures in my phone of these two together lol I guess I can crop pictures of them but thats too much work ohh well :)

The countdown begins :)

Jubilee's 1st birthdays coming up soon!!...umm not really more like 3 more months but hey I have been planning his big day since January lol.

Happy 6 Months to my FatFat!



                                                  6 MONTHS!!!

                                    His face knows hes getting his shots!

   Yay my Lil man is getting so big! There are days when I wish my son could hurry up and grow up, when he cant stop crying but then there are days when I'm holding him staring at his innocent Lil eyes and wish that he would never grow up! It's crazy to even think that my Lil boy was 2 months premature and was in the NICU for a month and a half because he needed to learn some things. Driving to the hospital 25 minutes away 3 times a day was soo much but all worth it just to make sure my Lil boy was ok! It all started when one of the days I went in for a normal check up ended up not being a normal checkup and my midwife telling me that I have preaclamsia and a possibility having to deliver Siupeli early or even a C-section. I just cried to my husband and telling him I just want Siupeli to be healthy & it was all my fault. At that time we were living with my mom and Ohh how I LOVE my mother she started crying too and told me everything was going to be ok because we just need to have faith, after that she told me she was going to the Temple. I am so grateful for my mom because without her faith and strong will I don't think I would of been able to be as strong as I was that day! YAY for moms! In the end I delivered My Siupeli naturally on July 31st 2010 at 3:38 pm weighing in at 4 pounds 14 ounces, now hes healthy as a normal 6 month year old!
   I'm SO in love with my son  its crazy, before I tied the knot I was always used to going shopping every pay day for me and buying whatever I wanted, but now that I have Siupeli its the opposite. We could be struggling with bills and I'm still driving to the mall to buy him an outfit lol. My hubby tells me to stop because hes too little and will grow out of the clothes but nooo of course I don't listen and still go! I guess I just want my son to have what my parents did to all 8 of my brothers and sisters, they always tried to spoil us!
   So far my Lil handsome is such a crybaby, my little sister said hes too high maintenance because she says if his diapers wet, he freaks out for someone to change it lol but hey for my baby shower all I wanted was diapers and wipers soo we just change my sons diapers like its nothing lol so I guess its not Siupeli's fault?! lol. Our storage closet is only filled with diapers and wipes good to last me for another year hopefully, that's if I don't have another one anytime soon! hehehe

Some of his diapers!
