Monday Memories

I have needed to get my blog into check for awhile now, but just haven't had the opportunity to get it going, it's been up, it's been fun, but the real reason I have done this blog thing, is for a journal, knowing that I have finally got my blog together. Sunday will be Spiritual Sunday, this is where you can write a talk, a spiritual memory, or just a theme, lesson, or just a scripture. My first one is down below, feel free to be involved with this, I have had a feeling for awhile now that I really needed to show my church through this blog, so now Sunday is a good day for that..

Monday is my Memory day. I have so many memories that aren't down on paper. So now it is time to reopen them, they might be a bad memory, a good one, or one in the making. Feel free at any time to take the idea, to use the photo tittle or what evvvaa..

So lets play-

This is when we lived in a town back then, I think we had Aanya, Keilani, and Katalina, and maybe Lavi. We were driving to some other city, enjoying life, then
all of the sudden, a car came zooming up the left hand side of us, waving his hands like they were on fire. We looked and had no idea what was going on, but boy was this guy mad. We eventually figured out that he thought we had cut him off,(which we didn't), he eventually just sped up and cut us off. Well Crap- there you have it, now you have made a Tongan man angry. This was back in the day where my husband had a little road rage in himself.. So what were we to do, I sat there trying to hide from life at this point, I looked over at my man, and gave him the look- you all know the look. Are you amazed nothing happened on our end.. I was so relieved and proud that he had finally gotten over his anger issues.

So you want to know how it turned out do ya? Well the car in front of us, did not leave it alone, we pulled over because when he cut us off, we almost wrecked, in thinking that we pulled over to go some rounds, he pulled pulled his car over. We just sat there, my heart was beating a mile a minute, my breathe almost non existent, the crazy man got out of his car racing over to ours yelling and shouting, I was horrified, what if he had a gun, my children were still in the car, do I call 911, I thought in my head. Before I could even look for my phone my husband jumped out of the car. There was a few nice words exchanged mostly on the other mans end. He kept putting up his fists, then back down, jumping and raving, I knew this wouldn't turn out good, then with one punch to his face the crazy man was down for the count, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, before you could say 10 and ring the bell, husband got back into the car, and we left, no police call, just a man lying down on the freeway. Now I am not proud of this moment in our life, but it IS a part of our lives. I am sure the man got back up and did not eva do that again, or at least lets not hope so... If the man is reading this, we are truly sorry for your wounds, your loss of pride. I thought for the next day that the police would be showing up at our door step to pick up my husband and through him in jail, but luckily we just learned a lesson... But I do have to ask? Should I have been proud, or angry?

And to the man- Really- at what part did you NOT notice that you were trying to pick a fight with a Tongan man.. Really?

You have to watch this fight, it reminds me of us, that day. Even to the part of leaving him for dead on the ground... this is hillarious- (the clip-not the memory) go bathroom before you watch..

Spiritual Sunday!!

This is a idea that everyone has. I wanted to add to it. I will be doing this every week, so hang tight!!

I woke up in the morning, new that I had a busy day ahead of me, kids were ready for school, and the phone rang,
Hello-

Hey, do you remember about our visiting teaching this morning?

Oh yes, I'll be right over.

When I went to grab the Ensign it was missing, I had set it down were I knew I could find it the next day.. It was no where to be found.

The lady that we were assigned to was not active in the ward, she rarely came to church, and was quiet the character.

I knew that we were already late to go visit her, knowing that, I just left with out it, and said a prayer that I would be able to feel the spirit with a spur of the moment lesson.

We gave the lesson, as she heard it, tears began to run down her face, I simply asked are you OK, come to find out that she was going to commit suicide that morning, and remembered that her visiting teachers would be stopping by later that morning, so she decided to wait till they had left.

The lesson we gave was not a miraculous lesson, but a lesson she needed to her none the less.. What was miraculous was it was the lesson SHE needed to hear.

We returned home, as I walked into the kitchen, the ensign was on the kitchen table out in the open, right where I had put it the night before..

I know with out a shadow of a doubt that if you fulfill your visiting teaching callings, not a call, not a email, but to go to their house and just be a sister who is a friend, you will be blessed sisters and brothers, If it wasn't for that one lesson, that day, that friend- May we all fulfill our callings with a smile, and love and visit those sisters, become closer to those sisters, and if they don't want you in, try try again.. It will come through.

Mosiah 18:8-9:
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

"Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life."

I HAVE a good reason!!!

I am the mostest craziest women right now. People has asked what I do all day long, let me run it down.. Then take your Thankful Thursday and add that you are thankful that you don't have to have my schedule.

Here it goes, ---------------Please remember to stop, take a breathe half way through it----I don't want to be responsible for any unconscious women or men......

Wake up a 5::30-

1. Eat breakfast, exercise, shower, wake kids up at 6:30, make the kids breakfast.

2. Start doing hair at 7:00, while doing hair somehow manage to nurse the baby, change diapers.

3. 8:30 take the now 4 children to the bus stop. Go back home get the other 3 kids ready for the day, do Leila's hair, and mine.

4. 9:00 start doing bookkeeping for Maka's business, feed baby again, put him to sleep, finish up bookkeeping and then at 10:00 relax for a long 15 minutes. Baby wakes up about 10:15, yes he only takes about a 15 minute nap..

6. QUIET TIME- I hate to say it but I live for this..( 12:30-2:30). Only Elaiasi will sleep, the rest HAVE to watch a movie, and Kono only will sleep for about 15 minutes again. Don't forget all the diapers and feeding going on in that time.

7. 3:00 make a snack, kids come home from school about 3:30- eat a snack, then run Aanya to gymnastics, feed baby, and change diapers.

8. 4:00 run Keilani to soccer practice, and then get home and start making Maka his dinner.

11. 7:30- is crunch time- Get the oldest to take a shower, give 4 youngest a bath, get their jams on, feed Kono cereal, and then nurse him, towel dry their hair, brush it, and braid it, and brush their teeth.

12. 8:00- Family scriptures, family prayer, hugs and kisses to the man, 8:30 in bed, say prayers and then read a book for a half an hour, feed Kono and put him to sleep for the night.

13. 9:00 Yeapy yay hoo- Lights out, bed time love you kids to death, but GO TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!

14. I work on my stuff, or stuff on the computer, and of course blog and lurk. Personal scriptures, and shower.about 12:00 or 1:00.

WE can't forget that is a typical day, not to mention all the holding of Kono while he is awake, the crying, the fighting, oh yea, the fun times, the memories, the happiness too.

There is a lot that goes on here that I didn't jot down, soccer games, parties, callings, achievement days, ward night, and so on.

Although my life is crazy, I would not change it for the world, my husband works constantly, but we live for the weekends when he can be home and life slows down (a little bit).

I hope you all enjoy your lives and your children, and remember that they are Heavenly Fathers children, and that we were given the opportunity to watch, teach and protect them....

Have a great day-

PS. there are like 4 posts today, look down and visit them too.

Kindergarten time has come!!

Lavinia had her first day of Kindergarten. It came it went. It was not like any first day of school that I have eva been witness to. Let me explain-

We (she) has had her fav- outfit picked out, every night has tried it on, took it off hung it back up, kissed it goodnight).. The night before her school day came, her teacher called us, and said " oh I forgot to tell you that they are suppose to dress up like they are at the beach."

WHAT? Are you kidding me, not on this child's first day. I am sure they had a blast, but come on the 2ND or 3rd day, but not the day she has been waiting for about a month now.

Anywho-to make things worse, I forgot that Aanya had to get her 4 bicuspids pulled that morning, so I didn't even get to take her to school. (Aanya is getting braces in 2 weeks). But thankful for Maka who can get out of his busy schedule to help a child and a organized mama out.

Then Leila crown had fallen off, so went back to the dentist to put it back on.. So didn't even get to pick her up... Sad Sad Day... oh well, she had a fun time, so who cares right?

Kindergarten Part 2

So this is what she had picked out to wear on for the first day of school, her all up in her glammour, her syle, and her self. (kinda like mom).

So today, I got to take her to her second day of school, (to us it was like the first day, and a good tear down the cheek). Ofa Atu Mom.

People Like Me!!!

OK no time for computer lately, I have to figure out my crazy schedule and try to fit it in somewhere, I am going through withdrawals here.. So if you cared, which you probably don't, but lets just pretend you do K? I haven't commented much lately, I am lurking but not commenting, I have to try to figure it all out, maybe in a couple days it will slow down, then I will be my faithful commenter again.

I received from a few people, just have never posted them yet, serious people, If you knew me in real life, there would be not awards giving, just glares!!!!

Thanks guys, you are suppose to nominate people for these awards, but how do I pick I love you all. The blogaward will go out to everyone, everyone is the mostest coolest happining peeps around, that's why I visit you.. So take the award, you deserve it..

Next I received this rad one from Diaper Diva, she is pretty rad herself, she has like 12 billion children, and is quite the scrapper, like me just in a different way;)

so I give this to 3 people-

I choose-

Mindi- Of course, not cuz she is the bestest, and the coolest mama out her in bloggerville, but cuz she is the raddest too. She is very funny and yet so caring...

Brittany- I met her only a short while ago, but she is one hilarious woman...

Collette- She doesn't visit my blog very often but I see her comments on everyone else's. Her comments are the raddest, so hats off to you, grab the award, you deserve it...

Back to a real schedule!!! Sorta anyways!!

I have no idea what she was doing, she looks like she was annoyed- I have no idea why;)

She thought this would be a cute photo.. she was right!
Oh my Keilani, never changes!!!


We have a fun time getting ready for school, it starts the week before, going through clothes, see what fits, what is still usable, and see what we need to get. Remember my post on going through and changing out winter to summer clothes, if not, go here. Crazy huh- now double that cuz whats worse than a mom with 5 girls shopping, dad with 5 girls shopping. We try not to go overboard on spoiling our kids, but in the clothes department, we go way over, my husband loves to buy clothes for the girls, and he has great taste..

So we were down to the wire- went swimming, cut hair,(don't worry we cut 4 inches and it is still to their derriere), I spent all night making bows for the girls, I love it. Why did I not ever do this fun thing, I think I am addicted! Before we did scriptures my husband gave our children a fathers blessing. It was the most wonderful thing to be a part of it, usually ever year, they go into a room, and do it by themselves, sort of a personal bondage I think, he let me in this year, and I thank my husband for being worthy to do this for our children...

Wake up, all kids are already up, CRAP- I hate mornings... start doing hair, I love when my kids wear there hair down, it is so fast and easy. (which by the way is not very often at all)

Breakfast, family prayer, and photos. Oops, no lotion, get the lotion...

Backpacks ready, Aanya- wait mom, aren't ya gonna take some pitchers?

I know what your thinking? Man, why did she dress them for winter in 100* weather?

Just so you know, out of the 2,0000 million we spent of clothes, and last years clothes, they chose these outfits.. Whatevvvvv.. Haters!


Photos taken, too cute.. There off, man, yes, of course we were late like usual.

( for the love of petes sake- can we be on time for anything). ps. sorry for the writing, I am feeding baby.

So the next day was about the same- they even wanted there photos taken again, I said no, so they got it out by themselves. Who's children are they anyway?

And don't mind my blog- I have figured out something new, and was trying to code it in the html, but you don't get to see it untill website comes out!! This temporary layout is the minima stretch- header non exstistant for right now!!!

Crazy-nesses...

This is a two part crazy post, one a spiritual crazy, one a crazy crazy...

first the crazy,crazy-

Have you ever wanted to beat the tar out of a child? Don't lie- I know you have- Although I don't and didn't- I wanted tooo!!!

This little girl in the Tongan culture is called the Pau'u of the family- if it is quiet- look for her fast!! She is brilliant, beautiful, and fun, but also stubborn, mischieveius, sometimes doesn't make for a good combination.

Yesterday, we were bringing groceries from the limousine- jk- we were all out side playing, when we went back in the house, it dawned on me that Leila was no where to be found, went to open the door, no go.. opened the other door, no go. The top bolt was locked which meant only one thing, someone was inside. We banged on the door, rang the door bell till my fingers were bruised, this ladies and gents happened for a good 10 minutes, baby in the house screaming, Leila in the house a laughing(probably). NO phone, no keys, no neighbors, no help.. I was about to break my window, when she finally opened the door.. I didn't want her to be afraid of me, but I did not have a good look on my face when that door cracked open.

When I asked her why she did not open the door, she simple replied- I didn't want to go to time out!

Mom- why would you have gone into time out in the first place?

Leila- come look-

No photo here but I'll just explain.

There was in my bathroom, all the Listerine dumped out, the toothpaste all squeezed out, the perfume bottle broken, the makeup smeared from one end of the room to the other, glitter everywhere, baby powder everywhere, baby butt med everywhere, lotion everywhere, towels everywhere. All this done in the 3 minutes we were bring groceries in- and probably it took 10 minutes to try to come up with the reason for it all...

I LOVE YOU LEILA!!! I LOVE YOU LEILA- I LOVE YOU!!!!

Take a deep breathe- exhale slowly- there much better now..


We did our Sacrament Meeting program last Sunday- Our topic was on Keeping the Sabbath day holy.

This in it self is the most spiritual blessing, to learn to grow, and to share.

We had all the girls memorize their talks, speak and sing, it was amazing if i do say so myself. My girls even sang there songs in Tongan. Just lovely..

So why you ask was that crazy? Well just read it again, and you'll see why..

I love to keep the Sabbath day holy at our house, we have for a very long time, It brings so much peace in our house, I have to admit, were a very strict Sabbath day rule family.

No TV, no outside,(only on special days), no music(only church), no friends.

I can testify that if you plan ahead it will work, your day will be so much more peaceful, spiritual, and blessed. In my talk there was a quote I want to share with you- this quote alone will make everyone want to keep the Sabbath Day Holy.

The promises of the Lord to those who keep the Sabbath day holy are so wonderfully clear in the scriptures that they leave one asking, “Why would anyone throw away such blessings for the tawdry, temporary pleasures of the world?” Hear again the words of Jehovah as they roll down from Mount Sinai: “Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

“If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

“Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase.

“ And ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

“And I will give [you] peace in the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

“For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and establish my covenant with you.

“And I will set my tabernacle [that is, my temple] among you.

“And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.”

I love the Sabbath day! It has blessed my family in countless ways. I bear a testimony born of personal experience that the commandments of the Lord are “true and faithful.”

I know you will be happier, enjoy greater peace, and find your lives made glad as you witness the miracles that come to each person and family who make the sacrifice of keeping this eternal covenant.

I love our Lord and Savior. I know He lives and that this is His Church and kingdom on earth. I know He is at once a just and merciful God, who loves His children with all the tenderness of a kind and loving Father. May we, in turn, “offer a sacrifice unto the Lord [our] God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen

Sorry this is a lengthy post!!!

FROM THE ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND-

My brother in law is the bishop in a palangi (white) ward- he asked if we could do a couple of numbers for them, we hadn't practiced, hadn't had any one else but Aanya and Keilani, and Mele. My little ones know how to dance, but they only needed a couple of numbers so they were out. (I think there the cutest, but don't tell my older ones that). There is a Tongan, and a Maori, and Samoan, Hawaiian, and Tahiti. For your enjoyment, watch- Aanya preformed this one by herself..

For this you have to pause my music player or it looks funny with the different music:)

Definatly that didn't happen, Monday morning we woke up, got everyone ready, did gymnastics, soccer camp, kids dentist, my dentist, out to lunch with my mother, and then at 1:00, went on a date with Vanessa to Carls Jr. I gave her her prize, and she handed me one in return, she is too much. I was a big dork, my first comment was your tall, how stupid was that, guess I am not talk show material... She is an awesome girl, go check her out, she posted a photo of us, talked about us, we have a lot in common, when we were in collage she was stalking me and I didn't even know it, jk- We lived a lot of the same places, and now our kids go to the same gymnastics, Freaky? Nope Way Cool... I think I scared her away, no comments from her anymore, Please Vanessa, won't you be my, won't you be my neighbor? Thanks for letting me hang out with you, and I am sorry if I scared you away, or was is ALL my children....Lets do it again sometime.

Mohekonokono is 4 babehhh(months)


We took Kono in for his 4 month check up, he is 95% for head, 95% for height, and 70%for weight. GOOOOO Kono, here is what he can and can't do... He can eat cereal with out any problems at all ( he inhales it, and cries for more), it is the rice with bananas, yes, he is not suppose to have bananas yet, but come on people his gramma has been feeding him tongan food for a good month now, and he is not dead yet!!!(thank goodness) He cannot roll over yet, maybe it's becuase he is never put down...that is mostly my fault, don't care how many I have, I love to hold them, and to be quite frank, he is the cutest, funnest baby eva. He can grunt, growl, and even do the Haka with his bro..(with a little help from dad). He can't take a binky very well, I can't tell if he doesn't like it, or he doesn't know how to suck on plastic things.. He can grab his limbs now... He is teething, I it makes me sad, I don't want him to grow up. not one bit.. We love you!!!!

Attention- please turn pause my music so you can hear this..promise I am not trying to show off. Ok a little bit:)

I wanted to bear my testimony on my blog, but someone encouraged my to do it in Tongan, I love the Tongan culture, therefore I will, but for the one person out there who will understand me, forgive me, I am tired. The rest, just feel the spirit.

ps. who likes my new signature? Go ahead, comment on one, or all, or don't comment at all, but you'd be breakin' my heart:(

SUCKER

Awww- did the title of this post pull you away? I had to do it, the girl with the horns on my left shoulder made me do it...

Here it goes-

Mom- Leila, how come Kono is crying, then stopping, and crying and then stopping? ( as I was giving Elaiasi a bath).

Leila- Oh he is mad I cuz I don't want to babysit anymore.

Mom- Well just try to make him happy for 2 more minutes, then I will come and take him.

Leila- OK mom.

2 minutes pass- I didn't hear anymore crying, so I had thought maybe one of the older girls had taken him,-------NOPE------

I walked out to the living room and this is what I found.

Guess I was asking for that one..

PS. I have given in, I hate Binky's. I am trying to have him take one, But this is my 7Th people.. So when he is 4 still takin' that stupid Binky, and I am a complaining, remind me why I gave it to him...

But- here's a remedy for the Binky, just shove a lollipop in his mouth big enough so he won't choke!!!!! Thanks for the idea Leila!!!!

Baby fever 104* and Pay it Forward winner!!!

During my grandmothers funeral, I had one son who was extremely tired, and one baby who was defiantly not my baby, he was just a fussin' till the cows came home, only to find out they will never come home. I wish someone had a camera, everyone, I mean everyone forgot to bring their children along for the ride that day, I felt like I was the only person there and nobody could hear me. Let me explain-

I was sitting down feeding baby, so I couldn't take care of Elaiasi, he was running the runway, my sista kept giving me the stare, then all the sudden we heard the piano playing, yep my son. I hurried and put myself back in, ran and picked him up, baby in one hand son in the other, I rocked both of them, son laying down on one side of arm, with leg in my other hand, baby in the other hand that had the foot, and baby laying over my shoulder. My muscles were shaking, I about didn't know what to do, I was in the back, no one turned and looked. I seriously was going to start throwing mints or something to get SOMEBODIES attention. Finally someone came to the rescue, and then I could finish feeding baby so he would stop fussing.

He did not want to eat, so he fell asleep, when he woke up he had a fever, he looked like death was laying on his shoulder.

We left Somewhere about 5pm, went straight to Someplace for my husbands reunion. Left for home about 1 in the morning.

Woke up about 6am, got ready for the reunion, baby still fussy, still sick. Got home about 1 in the morning.

Sunday debated to take him to the hospital or not, his fever by then was 104* and not falling at all, not even with Motrin and Tylenol together. Just gave lots of baths, and went to reunion until 1 in the morning.

I am defiantly not going to get mother of the year again this year. I took him in first thing Monday morning, doc looked in his mouth, and said holy cow, why didn't you bring him in sooner? I just wanted to hide my head, I simply said, sorry we were in charge of a reunion, he just glared at me.

He defiantly was red, swollen, white crap all up and down his throat. Sure enough had strep throat. I don't know about all of you, but my heart breaks when little babies are sick, they are so helpless, so needy, so Innocent, it should be a rule, if you can't tell mommy where or why you are sick, you shouldn't have to be sick....

So, today is my birthday, wont be celebrating it today, wont be going to a blogabration, won't be getting a IPhone. I will be taking care of a very sick baby, and that is all that matters today...

The worst part about all of this, this is first but definitely NOT the last, not with a family of nine, who can't keep their hands and mouth off this adorable baby. And yes, you can tell me I am horrible, I already know so it won't hurt my feelers...

Now, for what you are waiting for- The winner to the Pay It Forward Giveaway-

Remember the rules- the winner HAS to now Pay It Forward.

And the Winner is---------Vanessa---- from You Don't know Shmit. Go on Vanessa- Go Pay It Forward and don't forget to email me with your address.

I have a strong testimony on prayer, Heavenly Father is always there for you, he wiil never let you down, he is your father and your best friend. Pray in secret, in open, and as a family to gain love and the spirit in your home.

I know that if you pay your tithing in full, you will never go without,

I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that Tomas S. Monson is our true prophet today.

I love this church with all my heart, and I love all of you,

In the Name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.
