Cole's Birthday Party October 3rd

The first two pictures are of Kira before the party! Sione was on his way to work, so that's why he's in his uniform.

Church callings

Sione and I just received church callings in our new ward. Sione is the Valiant 11 Boys class team teaching with Brother Allen and I am Valiant 12 combo class. These kids are all a handful. I have only taught one week so far. All my kids are already in Deacons or Beehives so I get to attend Relief Society third hour. But once January hits I will get a new group and will have to go to sharing time. I will be getting the boys that Sione has right now. We taught primary in our last ward and really enjoyed it. Its amazing to see how much these kids really know, if you can get them to settled down and concentrate.

Im grateful for the chance I have to learn from these great kids.

The Weekends

Now that I have been watching my nephews for almost 3 weeks, I definently look forward to the weekends. When I was just a stay at home mom every day was a weekend. I was able to do whatever I wanted. Now that I cant do or go any where when I want to, the weekends have a whole new meaning.
The hard part is when Sione has the night off or the day off I want to go go go, but he just wants to rest and stay home because he gets limited amount of rest. I want to go hiking, the beach, museums and do fun things as a family. Kira and I are stuck in a house all day, I want to get out and enjoy nature and life before the weather gets bad and before she is all grown up.

Working

Last week I started watching my nephews and two other boys for the school year. So blogging will be few and far between. :)

Sione is working for Pet Butler and then starting this week he will be working at the hospital for Security. We have become really busy as of late.

Kira is doing great and loving all of her cousins. She loves to be with other kids during the day. Its been great for her. Kira and I do miss park day and the day activities with the other moms. Weekends have a whole new meaning now.

Our little swimsuit model

Sione took this picture so he could compare sizes between Kira and our T.V., she loved it!

Kira's First Ponytail

July at Robert and Gina's House

The family and I went up to Robert and Gina's house in July for a few days.

We had lots of fun. We even got Robert to go swimming with the girls.
