It has been too terribly long since I have posted that I decided I needed to update everyone on us. I have had entirely too many people telling me to update the blog, so here is a little snip-it(is that the right word), of what has been going on with us since Apisai was born.
In September of 2010 Ife became a U.S. Citizen. Hooray for him and hooray for us not having to pay any more money for Naturalization stuff :) We spent the weekend in Boise and had a fun family vacation there. We went to the zoo and swimming park. We went to the old prison there. That was pretty cool too.
In October I started a "Feel Great in Eight" program with my little sister. I lost 20 pounds in October and November. YAY ME!!! Ife got called as the Elders Quorum President in our ward and became REALLY busy. It's been awesome actually learning who different people in our ward are. You don't meet anybody being in Nursery forever. For Halloween Saki was a bag of M&M's, Kaveni was a dinosaur and Apisai was a Bumblebee. SO CUTE!!!
In November I don't really remember what we did. I do remember we did a lot of raking. All from one tree that we have in our front yard. Awww, I miss fall. Ife threw me a birthday party. I know...props to him huh. It was fun and I am old (27). When my friend asked I couldn't remember if I was turning 26 or 27. Just after we got all of our leaves raked up we had a huge snow storm. Saki was quite the helper shoveling the snow (he was using a dustpan). Kaveni also turned two. (This age might be the death of me).
In December we were overwhelmingly blessed. Someone secretly gave us a Christmas. We didn't think we would have much of one, but we learned that there are people out there who are always aware of our needs. This was probably the most special Christmas we have had in our married life and will never forget the love we felt for our Savior in our home. Saki turned four and had his first big birthday party with friends. He got spoiled. We had lots of Christmas parties and ate way too much junk food.
In January I did another round of "Feel Great in Eight" and lost 24 more pounds over the next eight weeks. Boo-ya!!! Ife started feeling left out so he got a gym membership :). Ife also got called on a few fires. He's volunteering at the fire department and has really enjoyed it. Doesn't he look hot as a fireman!!!
In February I went to Hawaii with my sisters. It was so much fun and a well needed trip. Thanks to everyone for the different hook-ups while we were there. The kids got really into building forts and thought they had to have a sleepover in a different place every night.
In March 2011 Ife's mom came to visit for a while. It was great to see her and the kids LOVED spending time with her. I got called as the Young Women's 2nd Counselor and am loving it. I really enjoy working with the girls. It is a change from Nursery, but has been so much fun so far.
HAHAHA!!! Fast forward to March 2012. I can't believe it has been this long. I wrote this post a year ago and meant to put pictures with it and all, but alas, our computer broke. That is why I haven't posted or didn't end up putting any pictures on. To put things shortly, 2011 was a very difficult year for our little family, but 2012 is going great and we are loving life. Ife is working at the county jail and loving it, and I am still working as a dental hygienist. Saki is in preschool and can't wait until he goes to 5 year old school (kindergarten). Kaveni goes to Early Intervention School a couple of days a week and seems to enjoy it. He keeps me busy with all of his speech therapy sessions. Apisai is 19 months and acts like he is 2. I was SO happy when he went to nursery ;). I do plan to keep things updated and next time with pictures!!! Still no computer though :(, but don't worry, I keep updated with everyone on my phone :)
Anyway, we are doing fantastic and always staying incredibly busy. I envy those moms that have to think of things to do during the day. I want to have time like that some day. :)
