It's Official!
Only one more month and twenty three more days til Siupeli's 1st Jammin Jungle Safari!......For days I've been comtemplating on whether to have Siupeli's big day here in Utah or in Oakland with the in-laws. My mother & father in-law has been asking us to have it their because they wanted it to be big and special because Siupeli is their first grandchild and is named after his papa. I wanted it here in Utah because I had so many ideas and everything I wanted was here in Utah, I wanted it fun for the kids and not no traditional Tongan birthday so the kids wouldn't be so bored. His colors would be red, yellow and green hence the Jammin part in his theme lol, I wanted a big slide and the end of it a pool for Siupeli's Swamp and have The Scales and Tails come out and show the kids real animals from the jungle, a kids dessert table with worms, spiders, bug candy filled in the jars, safari hats and buckets for each kid and fun safari games. BUUTTTT I gave into my mother in-law and told her yes because I mean my whole family flys free and they rarely get to see baby. My mother in-law was crying of excitement and thanked me and my hubby. 5 months of planning is now out of the picture because I actually had the heart to say yes to her lol. One thing I look at it being a good decision is that I dont have to stress about it or pay anything! YAY...So we shall see what happends that day! To be continued...

9 & 1/2 MONTHS :)
Siupeli is getting soo big his lil feet are dangling from his carseat lol He amazes me everyday and is quite the character! He is officially off of Similac and loves his Vitamin D milk yay! He loves playing with people so when its just the two of us at home he gets so cranky because he wants alot of attention, but I get so lazy to play with him because work drains me out. He gets so excited when we leave to my moms or my brothers houses because theres always kids for him to play with! Loves playing with dogs which shocks me because my brothers kids who are trouble makers are scared of dogs so I thought he would be, & now my hubby wants to get him a dog. Siupeli is my super handsome #1 accessory I carry all around every where I go, weather its to Wally World or just to my moms he is with me all the time. He's my lil sidekick!

My Music!
Lovers Rock, Rootsy Reggae, Dancehall, Stickly Reggae is what I prefer to listen to. Theres just something about Reggae music that makes me feel calm, but happy at the same time its like I can never get sick of listening to them. This past weekend by far was the greatest most memorable days this year! I was able to attend the Gyptian & Etana concert and let me tell u AWESOME!!! This was my second time seeing Etana perform and she rocked that stage, her voice was beautiful. Gyptian of course was phenomenal. I am a huge fan of Reggae Music thanks to my dad. His family is from Hawaii so he would fly back and forth and would bring back new Reggae CD's and we would all love it especially my older brothers! From Bob to Lucky to Big Mountain my dad had good taste in Reggae music. If there is one thing I am greatful for from my dad, it would be that, introducing me to Reggae music lol. Back in 2008 I was able to go to Jamaica to see the Reggae Sumfest, and check out Bob Marley's hood. Performers like Akon, Keyshia Cole and Lil Wayne were all performing but I was really excited to see all the Reggae artists because at that time, living in Utah no one came here to perform lol but Reggae artists from Beres Hammond, Richie Spice, Serani, Taurus Riley, Demarco, Busy Signal and Jah Cure were all there performing that night and you know that trip was SPECTACULAR. Now I love living in Utah its like there all slowly coming here to perform! Anywho back to the concerto we got VIP so u know we had backstage access, we took pictures with Gyptian himself and was super cheesin back stage lol! That night was definately a night to remember. To bad my hubby wasn't there to experience that night with me because he is now a big fan of Reggae music. It's soo funy because when we were dating he did not like Reggae, he said it was to slow hence he is from the Bay area (Oakland) so when you think the Bay Area what do you think? hhmmmm Hyphy right lol and now were competing to find good Reggae songs to listen to, ohh its the best! Here are some of my all time favorite Reggae Songs!

Jah Cure- Unconditional Love
Gyptian - Beautiful Lady, Bingimans prize, Serious Time

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 :)
