Wowzers!

Did I know what hard was? Clearly no! I am so overwhelmed by being a full time mom. This was my dream job, to stay home with my kiddos 24/7 while the hubby did the working. Now Im second guessing my dream job, it's harder then I even expected. Wait I take that back I didn't even think it would be this hard. Kudos to those mothers that's been doing it longer then two years! I can't even remember the last time me and the hubby went out on a date! I mean it did kinda get harder with three lil munchkins especially now that I'm nursing baby Nancy so she literally has to be with me where ever I go. It's only been two weeks since giving birth and I feel overworked. I really just wanna get a nice hotel for me, take a nice bubble bath, eat a gourmet meal and drink lots of champagne! Lol JK cross the champagne and replace it with a mango smoothie! I feel guilty for even thinking like that but hey mommas need some me time and its ok to dream! But then reality kicks in and my two very active boys and a hungry newborn remind me no sleeping on the job! I love my kids with all of me they're my everything, without all the chaos I guess I wouldn't be losing these calories cleaning  after them or being their full time toy picker upper! As much as I complain how hard being a full time mommy is, I seriously have the best support system from none other then my husband! I really don't know how I got lucky with him because postpartum after birth with me can be exhausting. I kind of take advantage with the whole healing process lol. Oh and not to mention my mood swings! My poor husband, but hey I went thru the pain during labor so let me soak it in!! He really helps me out a lot with the kids, even though he works 12-13 hr shifts. On his days off he likes to take the boys out to some place fun whether it be Hollywood Connections or just to the park, just so I could get some rest. Now that baby Nancy is here my me time, I will be sharing with her. But its ok, I like the newborn stage all they do is literally just eat and then go right back to sleep so it's not to hard. All in all even though motherhood is not all sunshine and roses and as much as I can complain how hard it is I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I have learned so much from being a mother, my kids teach me so much it's rewarding and I'm so in love with them! I guess you can say our date nights have become just a redbox or netflix kind of date while the kiddos are sound asleep, but hey at least we are getting us time thats all that matters. Being a mommy rocks! Happy late Mother's Day to all you awesome mothers!

My lil family taking me to lunch for Mother's Day! 

Update!

Hey bloggers, it definitely has been awhile and so much has happened since I've last blogged! It has actually been a year, so here comes the updates. The biggest update that has happened to our little family was we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl who we named Nancy Ofa Ki New York Lapota. After my little sister who is currently serving her mission in New York! She made her debut on April 27th, 2013 at 10:15 am weighing in at 7lbs 4oz! 

She definitely was a big surprise, I mean her older brother was only 3 months when I found out I was pregnant again. You can imagine how I felt, pure embarrassment because I use to make fun of people who had their kids way close in age. Now I consider it a big blessing, because we finally have another diva in the house! I had two ultra sounds that confirmed she was a girl but until she came out I was still doubtful. I also had to ask my doctor to check to see if she was a girl when she came out! Lol.I actually refused to buy a thing until she came out and my hubby literally had to leave after I gave birth and buy her a car seat and outfit! This pregnancy felt like the longest but she was actually only 36 weeks and 5 days. I gave birth natural with no epidural like I did with Siupeli only because with Joon I got one and had back problems so I refused to get one with Nancy. Oh geeze can you say excruciating!!! I thought I was gonna pass out or literally die. I was at 8 1/2 dilated when I asked for a epidural but then sure enough I felt like I had to push, I pushed 3 times and baby girl was out! Super painful but totally worth it, seeing her beautiful face! I'm so happy I have a shopping buddy and my hubby is so in love with her, she definitely is daddy's little girl! I secretly think my hubby loves my kids more then I do, I mean he is always spoiling them but I know his kids are everything to him, his motivation to work hard to give them what they want. We love them just the same! I actually had to accept the fact I wasn't gonna be the only diva in the family lol but I am beyond happy she is here because now I can share moments a daughter and mother would instead of just with my sons! I say this is my last baby but hubby wants two more so we shall see! 

My lil LOVES! Siupeli, Paea Jr, & baby Nancy. A family of 5 now! I wouldn't trade for anything, they are my world! 

Changes :)

Wow it’s been long bloggers! I have so much catching up to do...It's midnight and I am the only one wide awake in the house and unfortunately I can’t sleep but freak I should be sleeping, being a mother of two it gets exhausting. I should be taking advantage of it especially since my newborn is sound asleep so sleep should be my friend now...But nope I’m here thinking of all the changes that has happened to my little family good changes an overwhelming happy feeling. I’m just so happy I wanted to let it all out in writing and share it with my bloggers...yes this happy to tell total strangers!!! lol. Siupeli’s 2nd birthday past and we celebrated it with baby Paea’s blessing at Jordan Park it was small but fun for the kids. OH how time flies! My boys are growing and their bond is precious. I gave birth to my little Paea back in May and have been on maternity since then and hated the thought of even going back to work. All I ever wanted to be was a full time mother not a doctor or lawyer but a stay at home mom taking care of the kiddos while hubby did the working you know living the American dream...ha-ha but none of that happened reality came and I was supporting the family financially instead of hubby and we were living with my mom with no white picket fenced house. I hated it I was being so selfish and wishing I wasn't working but stayed home taking care of Siupeli 24/7 at that time when there was one. Hated my husband even thought of the D word (divorce), I know how dumb was I? lol but with faith in our heavenly father and Jesus Christ, hubby finally got a job at the church humanitarian center and everything CHANGED not even 2 months there and he got an offer at another job making more. It was coming close for me to return back to work and just the thought of it I hated I wanted to freaking cry we thought of all the possibilities of who would stay with the boys or if I should go back. I would work mornings and hubby nights but with hubby’s new job schedule, well you know a newbie schedule so he gets the sucky one working 12 to 13 hour shifts, he would be drained from work coming home at 3am or even 4 he would be too tired to even wake up to take care of the boys. We thought of family members and even daycare but we did the only thing we knew that could help us, we prayed about it and we felt it was better that I stayed home with the boys rather than taking them to daycare and I returning to work. Plus we've heard a lot of wacky daycare stories so that definitely was a no go to daycare and family members were either working or had too many of their own to watch and the only other person I wanted to watch my two boys was serving the people of New York...I cried of excitement knowing I would stay home with my two boys a sigh of relief came over me and I wanted to celebrate, super happy knowing I was officially a SAHM! Now hubby does lots of overtime to help us financially it sucks because he is at work all night then sleeps during the day so there’s no really us or family time until his days off. I look forward to his days off its like I'm super excited and anxious like a little kid counting the days of when his next day off would be like were going to go do something fun kind of feeling but sometimes it’s just a red box kind of night or just talking our heads off about nothing lol. I'm just happy knowing lots have changed and I know I am more happier. Now were in the process of moving out getting our own place not renting but owning our very own home! “Why rent when you can own your own home”? lol I had to write this hehe…It's a process but hopefully in a few months we will find the right place to call home our very own white picket fenced house, only if they still exist! Lol... So maybe I am getting my American dream after all! I just had to be patient, it might of not happened when I wanted it but hey at least it’s happening slowly! LOL

He's here!

Weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces Paeaimuli George Lapota Jr. was born at 8:38 AM on May 5th ,named him after his daddy! He is such a sweet lil baby :)

Big brother!

Bye-bye 2011

Soo long 2011 you sucked haha. Sike, it sure was a roller coaster for me. This year was my year of learning experiences. I learned so many things about myself that I am grateful it has taught me both mentally and spiritually, getting me closer to my heavenly father. I learned so many lessons and have been through so many trials that I am forever grateful to get pass through them. The year started off a bit rocky then ended lovely with my little sister going on a mission. 2011 was my 1 year anniversary, with my wonderful hubby and my sons 1st birthday so it was a huge year for us. I am soo ready to see what 2012 has in store for us, any surprises or more lessons to be learned lol. Here are my 2011 pictures throughout the year :)

Big Brother!

Siupeli will be the newest big brother in town come the end of May. I can't wait because I hope he learns how to share and stop whining every time for nothing. He is so spoiled and babied by me and I have only myself to blame. I'm hoping it's a boy just cause it would be soo much easier and less expensive, he'll get all the hand me downs from his big brother Siupeli! We decided if its a boy then he will be named after his daddy Paea. Hubby of course wants a girl ever since from the begining. He actually wanted Siupeli to be a girl but too bad, he also sees the way he is with his baby cousin Vea, Siupeli is super in love with her. He gets super happy seeing her and she's the only one he will not be mean to lol it's weird, maybe it's a preemie thing since they were both premature? Who knows! If it's a girl we will name her after my little sister our sister missionary Sister Otukolo. We took her to the MTC yesterday and I feel apart after we left because my mom called me and told me that all Sister Otukolo kept saying was " I miss Siupeli, I want to kiss him one last time." When Siupeli was only 2 months Nancy was his babysitter so they were attached ever since. We use to call Nancy, Siupeli's real mom lol. I miss Nancy soo much but I know she is in good hands. See you in 18 months Nancy and we can't wait for you to meet your newest niece or nephew :)

Christmas 2012

This Christmas was alright lol wished I won the jackpot or something. Jk I'm just asking for too way much, since I got a iPad a month ago hubby said I was done lol. We went to Oakland a week before Christmas to spend it with the in laws for a few days , it was short but fun. That was my christmas gift to my hubby and it was suppose to be a surprise to my in laws but that failed cause hubby got too excited lol. My hubby's little brothers and sisters are madly in love with Siupeli it's special and I know my hubby misses and cherishes everyone moment he has with them. The weather was awesome and of course the steak cheese fries were mouthwatering. This years christmas happened to fall on a special day for my younger sister Nancy, it was her missionary farewell program soo it was a double great whammy! Her talk was beautiful and spiritual I loved it, I was balling before she even spoke lol, geeez I'm gonna miss her annoying self :) the food was awesome and being with family is always a fun time. Siupeli got toys and clothes all thanks to my in laws for sending him money to buy him presents cause we sure went broke after our trip to Oakland. Hubby just got shoes that were ugly but way too expensive lol and headphones that were $50 but were free thanks to RC Willey they give me free things just for being a loyal customer! Here are pictures that way you all can visualize :)
