TIME FLIES!!

Ok Ok so I haven't been real good at updating this thing but so much has happened since last November...almost a year ago. In December, we found out we were pregnant once again and later found out we would be blessed with another boy!! In February we moved to Utah. It feels good to be on our own- with just us, an independent little family of four. But we DO miss our families especially when holidays come around. We spent Worthy's first birthday in Utah and both our families came down for his party. And thanks to everybody for all his much needed clothes! He has grown so much. We can't believe how big and tall he is now!!

In May we took our first family vacation to the beautiful Hawaii nei. We got to see Ulysses, Ana, and their baby boy- FRANK! Of course we couldn't leave the 808 without touring the villages at PCC. We ate some yum food at the ali'i luau and then went to see the night show. It was all sooooo good!! It was Worthy's first time to the beach and he loved the sand, but the ocean, not so much. Mother's Day was great!! Uncle Clint and Zeus made Auntie Teuila and me some dinner and then we took a nice little walk to the Laie temple. I loved spending some time with my boys! :) A couple weeks after we got back we went to LA for big girl Madison's 2nd birthday party. She was sooo cute in her tutu and I'm sure she had so much fun jumping around in those big jumpie things they had. As a matter of fact, I think she knocked out before we sang happy birthday to her.

July 4th was spent at Auntie Mai and Uncle Duke's house. Worthy held a couple of sparklers after he got over being afraid of them. And that night we cut his hair for the first time!! Lucky for him he got a couple candies so he would sit still. I ALMOST cried!! Cuz he didn't look like my little baby anymore. He looked like a big boy!! It's all part of growing up I guess. :(

On August 9th, we welcomed our boy Waylon Ares into the world. 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches. We were worried how Worthy would react to the newest member of our family, but it was love at first sight. And it continues to surprise me how concerned he is about Waylon when he cries...and how he ALWAYS has to kiss him every morning when he wakes up. I LOVE IT!!

We had Waylon's blessing in September and both our families came down for it. Made us a little homesick seeing everybody after so long. But we were able to go to Missouri for a couple weeks and spend time with gramma and grampa Moe. We took the kids to the zoo and the carnival. Even tho Worthy didn't know the difference between an elephant and a turtle, he had fun riding the rides!

This month, October, we went to Vegas for a nice little getaway to visit gramma and grampa Manumaleuna. We were there the same weekend of Ares and Toree's homecoming dance. Ares looked soo handsome and Toree sooo pretty!! It was her first high school dance and we were all excited...except for Zeus. He was having a hard time seeing his baby sister go to a dance with a date...and I was having a fun time teasing him about it. haha.

All in all, we've had a very eventful year. I love my boys!! And I feel very blessed to have them in my life. I don't know what I'd do without them. My life would be so...BORING!! I'd be missing out on lots of love and joy. Being a mommy can sometimes be hard work, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I LOVE MY LITTLE FAMILY!!
