long time!!!!

So it's been a very long time since I've written here!!! A lot has happened and all the Holidays have passed. I can't believe how quickly time has been passing. 2014 has been a wonderful, trying, exciting, spiritual growth and a hard year all together....... 

Many memories were made and I was extremely blessed to have this year with my family!!! 

Quick high light 

Twins turned 10, Ilikea turns 6 and Kalei  turned 4. Everyone on them are growing up way too quickly. I'm secretly sad. I wish they were still babies but I'm soooo lucky to be there mom. I'm proud to say they are doing sooo well in all that they do. I'm praying that they will continue to always do there best.

Many more to come....... 

He's Home

Elder Austin Tate is home from his mission 12/16/14. He's been in Mephis for the last two years. He is an excellent example to me and my children. I can but can't wait for my kids to go on a mission. 

Some of the blessings that have come to our family while he has been out is that my sweet Ilikea fasted every fast Sunday for him, And she also wrote him pretty much every week up until the last couple of months. Our family and the Tate family have grown closer and closer together. The opptuornity to witness the truthfulness of this Gospel from Austin's example. I know the Lord has truly blessed us and I know that there was many more miracles while he was gone

Twins 4th grade Christmas Party

Enjoyed another fun party with my twins!! I can't believe they are 10 and in the 4th grade. 

We enjoyed hot cocoa bar, making a coupon books and decorating eachother into Christmas tress but most of all the kids enjoyed giving  there Teacher an amazing gift. The class pulled together 130 dollar for him and his family. He was in tears which lead to me being in tears. I'm amazed how giving people are. 

I pray our family will continue to be able to give to those in need and will always been in tune to give.

Another blessing I have is the ability to help out in my childrens classes.

Cleaning today 12/20/14

We were cleaning today and we came across this. I miss my family in Hawaii more than anything but I'm truly blessed to live in Utah and have the family I have here!!! 

Power of prayer, knowing your blessed!!!

As I lay awake tonight I can't help and think about the blessings I've been given it seems like for so long I have filled myself with negative thoughts actions and so on. I found myself this morning pleading with my Heavenly Father to help take away the negative from me and please replace with positive . Today I truly have felt him lift those negatives. It was my little miracle. I found myself happy. I pray this continues and I am hope to be more like my Savior!!! 

Swimming Lesson Take 1 for summer 2014

It's been a fun summer so far!!! Here's our first round of swimming lessons for this summer. Kalei hasn't cried once!!!! YEAH! She even jumped off the diving board. She has passed her level and is now on level 2, Ilikea is a fish and is way beyond her age group and is now a level 4, Kaiimi and Ty are on the last level 6 for swimming lessons. Yeah cheaper on my pocket book, but sad to see them growing up so quickly. I have loved taking them to swimming lessons  and we will do another round the first two weeks in August. 

Bowling Girl

Ilikea took a bowling class for three weeks and loved it . She took it with Allie and Maddie threw Centerville summer rec program. It was at Bountiful bowl. 

Struggles

Okay, it's been awhile since I have last posted and no excuses as to why besides I've been having a hard time questioning myself and trying to figure out myself. I've had soooo many mixed emotions of all that's happened around me. It's nothing me or my family but it's the people around me that I have grown to love and adore. Our dear friends The Palmer family lost there amazing son on his mission to a brain thing. The neighbor up the street comes out with a drug addiction, leaves for a month to go get help, comes back and then gets into a major accident of choices she has made. Here says have said it was her fault. Matt who was doing what is right by severing The Lord dies and she is saved. I can't help but question, however that's said the Palmers have beyond The Faith to know that's where Matt wanted to be and needs to be to continue. Kevin and Rowena are dear to me and I love them and soooo admire them. Just an example they seeked out other missionaries who is going to the same mission as Matt did and went to there homes, shared there story with them and took them some Madagascar money. They even went to there fair wells, what a true example of unselfishness. As for me how do I become more like them???? I'm pleading with Heavenly Father please help me to not have a heavy heart, not judge, not stress and worry and truly let go of the negative and the whys. I'm in need of fixing myself. I'm in need of finding the happy, positive, faith, unselfish person. More importantly remembering each and everyday the blessings I have and this Gospel

Making a Memory!!!

On Friday 7/11 I read that if  you dressed like cows and went to Chick fil A kids would get free kids meals and adults would get a free meal as well. So after taking Kaiimi and Ilkea to get free slurpees since they got there jobs done I came home and asked the kids if they would like to do this. So we did we cut spots out of paper and pretty much created our own cow costumes and it worked cause we were all sooo happy and full. I love that my kids enjoy doing crazy and fun things with me still. 

Cinderella 6/13/14
