So we begin at the end...

Yes it has finally happened, we have a blog. I know most have been anxiously awaiting this day, and yes it has come. You are welcome.
I was thinking I would start at the end of the year and work back to the first of it, but then i remembered that i am not that organized or focused, so it will post as i think of it.

Most recently Elizabeth, our sweet princess, turned 8 years old and was baptized. That was a beautiful event. We are so proud of her for being such a AMAZING girl and making this decision. Tua did the honors of baptism and confirmation. Lots of loved ones came out to support her. Even Papa Toiaivao came from Virginia and Grandma Chris came from Mesquite. Along with all the rest of the Grandmas', aunties, uncles and cousins. Thanks to everyone for your love! Especially thanks to My Angel Girl Elizabeth for making us so proud.


Now for Aisake. He has had an eventful year as well. He started the 1st grade this fall and is in the Mandarin Chinese dual immersion program. Wow, can you say Incredible. This kid is amazing, he is actually reading and writing and singing and mathing and all that stuff in Mandarin. Seriously incredible. He is so freakin' smart it's awesome! We are so proud of him and how hard he works. And of course this boy is forever playing something. Mostly teatherball these days. He loves that game and will bust out his crazy teatherball moves anywhere and everywhere. So watch yourself if you see this crazy 6 year old swingin' his arms like a maniac in the middle of the store, or street or anywhere. He is just practicing his moves.


My Cassius, this kid is freakin' Awesome too. (Wow i have cool kids.) He loves letters and has known all of them since he turned 2. Now he is learning to read. He is in a computer class that is helping him and he is learning about numbers and science and cool stuff like that too. Since Elizabeth and Aisake are in school all day, he thinks he runs the show at home... and he is pretty much right. He is obsessed with Cars the movie and Bakugans. Can spot either of these a mile away. He loves to chat, and will talk your ear off, repeating the lines from his favorite movies over and over again. This kid is hilarious, when given the option of watching, Letter Factory or Word Factory, he will chose, CARS! Every time. Love this boy!


And Mosaea, our latest addition; the main event for 2009. He blessed our lives on April 12 2009. Our Easter Baby. The first 2 weeks were scary because we were stuck at the hospital, but we made it out healthy and ready to grow. He has had us in awe the whole time. He started army crawl at 4 months and regular crawling by 5-6 months along. Now he is pulling up on all the furniture and walking around it. He is everwhere, and has only tumbled down the stairs 2x's. (as far as i know.) He is adored by all in the house and can hardly get a moments peace with 3 older siblings that love to "help" him with everything.


So Tua, he went back to school earlier this year. Yay! He is majoring in business. He said it would take "1 year from now to finish"...He said that when he started in January...then again in August...and then again yesterday. So we will see when this really happens. But we have faith and are so proud of his hard work and dedication. He is still working at APX Alarms and really likes it there, especially because they get FREE gourmet lunches now. I love my man!

Me, well just the same as always, running kids around town and trying to keep up with the house. Which by the way is much larger these days. We moved into a house in September and are loving having all the extra room. We live on a little cud-a-sac and have a nice yard for the kids to play in. We all love not having to live on top of each other or anyone else. Most recently i have been introduced to Muay Thai Kickboxing and am totally addicted to it. It is Awesome, i love love love it, and have to go everyday.

So that is us for now. It has been an amazing year and we are looking forward to a great one next year. Lot's of fun and excitment in store for us. We are so blessed to have great family and friends who love us and we love all of you.
