October 2011

So i just realized that the time line is backwards but oh well..

And then finishing the night off reading stories with grandma!!

...there were quite a few things that happened in October.. the first was the Norco Valley Fair and Parade. I try and make it when I can. We watched Heather perform in a quartet. they were really good. This year the parade was pretty good.. Kira loved the horses. After the parade, we all went back to my parents house and the kids ran through the sprinklers and jumped in the pool.

catching up!! back to August of 2011

Sammy 10 months

Samantha has been learning so much about life and her boundaries, its hard to remember exactly what she learned at 10 month.. I know I have it written down some where but for sake of getting this blog updated quickly I will just post a few pictures.

August

During August the Primary kids had the opportunity to attend the Newport temple. I was able to take Kira and Cole (Kira's cousin). At first they were hesitant but very much enjoyed it as soon as they got comfortable.

Samantha L Tupou is 1 years old

Today is Samantha's birthday. I can't believe she is one years old. She is such a fun little girl. She just started waving, and started a signing a few words. Sammy loves to dance and listen to music.

Blogger app

So I recently found out about the new blogger app. I'm very excited. It might be a lot easier to post now.

This was the huge crowd that showed up just before we left! and this wasn't even half of them.. crazy huh?

We got hammered by a wave!

Beach day with Robert and Gina and Family

Yesterday the 22nd of August, we joined Robert and Gina and their family at the Corona Del Mar beach. It was the perfect day for the beach.. It got a little windy but other than that it was great. The water was cold but I some how got in it...twice! I don’t remember the last time I got in the ocean. I was a little freaked out but it was fun. Kira swam in the ocean, and went out far with Sione. I did attempt to let Samantha touch the water but she started to freak out. Samantha did love the sand though. She ate a lot of sand and she was covered in it.

Sione made holes for Julianna and Kira to play in, and all the kids loved it. When we were about to leave about 10-12 bus loads of teenagers were dropped off at the beach.. not sure what they were there for but we were glad it was time for us to leave.. The beach got way too crowded.

After we went to the beach we headed over to Steve and Cyndie’s to have dinner.

Im able to float, thats cool! :)

Gina and I enjoying the water.

Greg and Ruthie's going away party

my Uncle Greg and Aunt Ruthie are moving to Texas so this past weekend we attended the going away party. We all BBQ’d and swam in the nice 80 degree water. It didn't feel that warm but I guess it was. It was great to see my cousins, especially Nicole and her little family. We will miss Greg and Ruthie and send our best wishes! Love you guys
