Kira and the Horses

1st Beach trip September 14th, 2008

Im just going to post some pics, of the beach and Kira.. that is the swim suit my sister in law let me use because kira's was too small. 

Ca, September 2008

Here are a few pics from our trip to california.  Kira and I were able to go to the beach with some family for Heather's birthday.. It was tons of fun, Kira had a good time.. She did really well for the 1st time.  Sione had to go back to anchorage that day we went to the beach but he came back the next day to spend more time with my family.. It was great to be there! We were there for a week! Kira loves playing with her cousins and loves being in warm  California.

I loved a lot of pictures i took so they are going to be quite a few with this post.. Sorry!

Kira Playing Around

I just wanted to post some pics of kira looking at herself in the mirror and messing around! She doesnt usually take a pacifier but she did for about 5 minutes. it was weird.. and i love the picture of Sione and Kira reading a book together.  August 2008

Alaska State Fair

Kira and I went to the state fair in august and we had tons of fun.. We went on a super slide together.. thats pretty much it, but we went and saw the animals and we enjoyed watching Kira's uncles go on rides.  When they were on the swings this girl started to fall off and was freaking out.. it was pretty intense.  My mother-in-law has the picture of kira and i on teh slide but i will post some others. of Kira enjoying herself..  I love my little girl! 

Tupou Family Reunion

i forgot to mention that before sione and i went to utah we had a family reunion in Juneau, Ak that we attended.. It was crazy but we had tons of fun!
for a few nights we all stayed at a lodge near the water,, it was great.. I was able to meet some more people that i had not met before and was able to get to know some of his cousins that i dont see very often..
One of the nights all the married siblings told their marriage stories.. even though we had to run into town during that time, we were able to hear a few later on during the reunion and it was very fun to listen to the stories.

Second Utah trip

so we went back to utah, but this time Sione came with Kira and I.. we had tons of fun.. We were able to visit with a lot of friends that we havent see for a while now!
I have pictures but i have been slacking on getting them up because the program i use is being weird so i will get them up eventually!
So kira has learned how to move along furniture now.. Its really fun to watch..
I think Sione and I are getting ready to go visit his friend in Ohio.. that should be a fun trip.. ive never been to ohio.. or we might just go to California and visit my family.. which would be lots of fun also!
