YUM! YUM!




Tavita loves to suck on his hands and feet! Yummy!

Piano Time!



Alana and Masina take piano lessons. This spring they took a theory exam at UNLV. They passed their theory so they were asked to come back and play four songs from each of the periods (ie. classical) in front of a judge. We were so excited that they passed their level.

Masina is a free spirit and really doesn't want to take formal lessons, but she sure was excited when she got a certificate and a trophy. Hope this helps her keep on chugging along with piano.

Bath Time!

Mother's Day Weekend



Before we left to Cali, Miti surprised me with these beautiful flowers. He always makes sure that I feel loved on holidays. He is really a wonderful man.




We went to California for Mother's Day. This is only the second time Miti has been with his mom on Mother's Day since his childhood. Grandma loves to play with her grandchildren. She was thrilled when she found out that his middle name is "AMIO" which was her grandfather's name.

Family Picture Time!




Miti wanted to get a family picture to frame for his mom for Mother's Day. We forgot how hard it is to take a candid picture with a baby. Oh well, we tried.

The baby is obsessed with sucking on his hands. We had a hard time keeping his hands out of his mouth and getting him to look up at the camera. The sun was peeking over our shoulders. She wanted her picture taken too! Life goes on, eh? Family pictures are so fun to look at later and reflect on how small the kids used to be.

Thanks Suzanne for taking the pics.

School Luau Carnival






The kids had a blast especially Tana. He won three goldfish and Masina got one. We made them give them away to other kids before we left so that the fish would have a good home. I hate bringing the fish home and they die before the week or sometimes the day is over.




Tana is growing up. He had such a good time going around to all of the booths and playing the games. He really enjoyed all of the prizes he won too! I don't think he has quite gotten over giving up the goldfish though. Oh well. He also did the cake walk at least 20 times and never won, but he was such a good sport.


Tana is such a boy! He loves to tease and annoy his sisters.
Masina loves having her picture taken.
