The holidays are here

Kevin plays bass for Mission Oak Band High School Band. He can also play the snares, quads, symbols, and saxophone too.

Aunty Emma, Tepa, Uli (plays for New Mexico State), and me at the Fresno State football game! I had the loud mouth Fresno state fan take our picture. Fa'afetailava sole.

My children are looking forward to Thanksgiving, or what they call "A Feast".

We have so much to be grateful for this year. My children and I are so blessed and thankful for all that we have. We wish love and hope to all of our friends and families in Samoa and Hawaii. Happy Thanksgiving.

My girls

Kolei finally found someone else besides mom to do her hair and she is loving it. I am loving homeschooling. Kolei does K12 and it has been the best thing ever!! No homework, brand new materials, one on one time with the teacher, I could go on, but I will leave that for Kolei to brag about. I am just very fortunate to have a motivated child to want to do homeschooling and follow it through, because I couldn't do it. I enjoyed going to an actual class room. Anyhow, homeschooling has also allowed Kolei time to do many other things she enjoys like sketching her future fall line, drawing, writing music, and completing her personal progress book for Young Womens. We're all proud of you Leilei. Now maybe you'll have time to change a diaper too???

Kolina Velvet dancing on the table

So Kolina Velvet started walking at 9 months. Then she started climbing the furniture and rolling off of it. She has also managed to put everything and anything in her mouth. She understands, "sasa", "inu", "fia ai", clap your hands, say "bye bye", and our favorite is when I call out "Kolei" she immediately looks for meand tries to hide. She knows when I call out for Kolei its means she has to go with sissy and that she doesn't. We call her the kitty when she is being naughty and babydoll when she wants to cuddle, which is rare because she is always on the go. My baby is already a toddler. It went by too fast.

Kenneth Jet on the ice for the first time!!

Kenneth Jet, is four. He started talking full and clear sentences at 2years old. He loves drawing, learning about music, science, geography, and food. He can write his whole name for you and has memorized several books and a deck of picture words. We were watching a movie about the life of Beethoven, the composer, and Kenny could recall all the music pieces being played because of the "Little Einstein" show. Kenny also loves to dance and sing though he doesn't like to be put on stage just yet. Now if only Kenny would play football and boxing without tears his big brother Kev would be happy. Just can't win them all!
