Kari's Birthday

Today is my birthday! Im the big 26.. Time sure does fly.. never thought it did until I had kids..
I had a great time celebrating. We went out to breakfast to Ruby's diner with my sister's family and then played for a few more hours at their house.. Sione had to work in the afternoon so After naps, Kira, Samantha and I went to the park and flew a kite.. Im glad I was able to spend my day with family and especially with my little girls.

Caspers wilderness Park June 3-4, 2011

Sione and I were able to go camping this weekend with some friends..It was our first time camping as a family, it was going great until it was time to sleep.. Kira had a hard time falling a sleep. She kept wanting to sleep on the opposite side of the tent, I was getting a little frustrated especially when she got up around 2 to let me know she wanted to move spots. Samantha did well, she slept till 4 am, and then stayed awake for a bit, happy though. Sione took her and they went and slept in the car. It was soo cold, we decided to just have blankets thinking it would be warm enough, but we were wrong. Next time, we will be bringing sleeping bags and mats or cots..

5 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

Im excited to see what the next 5 years and eternity has in store for us!

Sione is such a great husband and is a great father to his little princess'

Ward Beach Party May 30th

Our ward does a beach party twice a year, one during memorial weekend and one during labor day weekend.

Sammy had tons of fun eating the sand and getting very dirty! Kira isn't a big fan of the water, yet! Sione took her in though!

Behind a few posts!!!

I feel like its soo easy to blog but some how I end up getting behind quite frequently!!

SO as of late.... we had dinner at my moms house for Mothers Day.. Im so thankful for my mother and how incredibly awesome she is. Im also thankful for my mother in law, who raised such an amazing son.

Sammy turned 7 months: she has two bottom teeth, she is crawling and pretty much sleeps through the night! but wakes up early! She still loves to laugh. She likes to be held and to loves to have mine or sione's attention at all times. I think she is going through separation anxiety... oh no one of those children!! :)

On May 22nd 2011 Kira had her first primary talk! she was so excited.. She talked about The priesthood being restored! We walk into sharing time and she goes straight up to the front seats and sits until its her turn.. I go up there to help her.. She holds the picture of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery receiving the priesthood.. And then she repeats everything I said.. I was glad she didn't whisper the words because I was whispering. (we had a little chat about that) She did so great, Sione and I are so proud of her.

May 21st my mom's 20th grandchild was born..Lily Snow. She was 8 lbs 8 oz and 21 in. long.. Mommy and baby did great. They are one happy family!
