Im not going to go back to far just wanted to put a few pictures up to show how big I am with Samantha and a few pics of Kira. I know I am way behind in blogging but I haven't been feeling up to doing it lately... Its probably because I am so far behind its hard to catch up. sorry for the blurry picture of Kira. Kira is very excited to be a big sister, it seems she has been acting out a bit as of late, hopefully that doesn't last too long.

Snow Family Reunion 2010

On June 24th late in the evening we took off, packed into a 4runner with Stephanie and Karl, to our Snow family reunion in Toquerville, Utah. It took us almost 7 hours after having to stop a few times for potty breaks and to fill up gas in the car. We arrived around 2:30 in the morning. Most everyone slept in tents or tent trailers outside but me being pregnant, Sione, Kira and I had a room inside the nice cool house. When we first got there Kira was asleep and we put her down on the floor where I figured she would sleep the whole week.. That didn't happen, I guess when I left her there all by herself the cat or something came down to greet her and she freaked out. So that night till Sunday night she slept in the bed with me while Sione had to sleep on the floor. Poor guy! Lets just say he was happy to be back in his own bed Monday night. Kira was a great girl the whole Reunion, she might of had 2 fits and 1 time out.. I was very proud of her. She had a hard time wanting to go asleep, I think she was still scared of that animal. 2 of the nights she was up past midnight. Most people stayed up well into the night playing games and having a great time. There were games being played constantly all day long throughout the week. I cant remember if it was Friday or Saturday that we all went to Quail Lake and then Saturday night we had a nice mexican meal catered. The Lake was great, besides all the huge rocks every where. Kira loved the boat, she had a hard time with the wind when we were going really fast but other than that she had a great time. It was so fun to see a lot of cousins and spend time with family. A special thanks to the Hendricksons who sacrificed their house and yard for all of us to come together as a family. ( my pictures are downloading weird and I can't post under them, so sorry for no explanation)

Quarter of a Century Old and Fathers Day

On June 18th I turned 25. I had a great birthday, the celebration lasted a few days actually. Thursday evening my sister and her sister in law made dinner for me and Kira and their kids.. Had great brownies, I love brownies, and watched the Lakers game. Friday morning, my wonderful husband came over to my sisters and watched the kids for me while I was treated to a wonderful breakfast at Cinnamon Productions by some ladies in my ward. After day care I visited with Sione on his lunch break and then headed to the Irvine Spectrum and my sister in law Stephanie took me out to dinner. Wow what a day.. Saturday I spent the day with Sione and enjoyed his company before he went to work then I went to work organizing the closet in our room. Sunday after church we went out to my parents for Fathers Day. Its always fun to get together with most of the family.

Potty Training

I think we might be taking a break from potty training. We started spring break, April, and its almost july, and she still doesnt know when to go before she goes in her undies. She'll run to the potty as she is going. NOT FUN! some days she is so great, nap and bedtime she is always dry. We'll try again after the reunion or maybe after the N. California trip. Day care is pretty much over now so I'll be able to concentrate more on it that might help, and Sione will be able to help. Ive already taken away movies if she does #1 or #2 in her underwear but that isn't working. She might ask for a movie but she wont complain too long. Its kind of nice not to have a movie on every evening. I just need her potty trained before Baby Samantha comes in November.

Marriage, the thing that brings us together today

On June 2nd Sione and I had our anniversary, 4 years of marriage. Its been a great 4 years and we have learned a lot from each other and still learning every day! We went out to my parents on Sunday for my nephew's, Caleb, blessing, it was great to spend time with family, I love being so close. Kira and I spent the night and Sione came back after work on Monday to come get us.. Before we left though, we went and celebrated our anniversary. We went out to dinner and after we ate we saw Prince of Persia, which I thought was a great show. Then we went home.

Im so thankful for Sione and the wonderful man he is. Im thankful for his dedication to the gospel and what he does for his family. I love you always and forever!
