Spring Soccer Season 2010

So this post is way out of place but life has been so crazy and I am grateful for Merilynn who took these pictures and posted them on my blog for me. Yes another year of Soccer has come and gone. The twins had a blast and loved being on their same team as last year. Spring was fun but cold and most of the time you would of thought it was dead of Winter but the kids never complained about being cold and got out there and played hard. They loved Coach Ben and the whole team. Ty improved on speed and ability to run with the ball not being all over the field. He also became excellent in scoring. Kai'imi improved on speed as well and she was an amazing defense player. I swear putting piggy tails in her hair always made her speed like lighting McQueen as she would say. As a parent you are always so proud of your kids and Yes I am very proud of them. They both did well and we are looking forward to next Soccer Season. Thank you to all the Coaches, especially Coach Ben and all those awesome players.

My hana sister Kuulei'iminaaua. I was lucky enough to be able to go back to Hawaii and be her escort threw the Temple. I felt honored. I have always admired her and her family. She is an excellent example and because of her and her family I was able to find this true Church. My life is amazing because of the Gospel, not that I don't have my trails but with knowing my Heavenly Father I know that all things are possible. This Day couldn't be more amazing!!!! Thank you Imi for giving me this experience. I love you dearly!

I had the experience to go threw the Temple with these two amazing people,Aunty Hi'i and Uncle Tom. They both received their endowments and then were sealed for time and all eternity. Also Imi was sealed to them as well. It was an amazing experience and it will forever be remembered. I was so lucky to be able to get there in time for their awesome event. I will never forget the spirit that I felt in the Temple that day.

Thank you Lapera Ohana for allowing me to come and join your amazing day!!!!

So this are pictures from my trip back to Hawaii this past November. The kids and I had a blast. I had the opportunity to see my best friends go threw the Kona Hawaii Temple. Aunty Hi'i and Uncle Tom were sealed and Imi was sealed to her parents. It was an amazing day. I will have to write about the experience another time. Then it was also Laci's 2nd birthday where I went to church and then showed up at my sister's house for Laci's birthday party. I totally surprised my Sis. It was awesome. I was a little sad that my dad already had left to go home and my brother wasn't there. But seeing my Sister's face was priceless. The kids and I went to the beach a couple of time with Aunty Hii and Uncle Tom, Imi even took the day off to go and hang out with us. One day I took the kids to black sand beach where we saw the turtles and one day we went to Hilo to hang out with my Dad. Anytime I am in Hawaii its always awesome. It was a great trip and yes I survived traveling with three children and would do it again.

My Papa Souza 89 yrs old

This Man is amazing!!!! He and my Granny lived next door my whole life until I moved away to college. Not a day went by without seeing them from the time I was born till I was 18. He and my Granny taught us how to serve and love everyone. He turned 89 years old on Feburary 6th 2010.

Airport 11/2009

Yes I braved three little children flying to and from Hawaii alone. The kids were really well behaved. They also enjoyed every second of being on the plane.

The First Lost Tooth

Okay so the day before we left for Hawaii, Ty lost his first tooth. Aunty Kim Boyer helped him pull it out while I videoed it. He was so brave and cute about it. The next morning as we were getting ready to head to the airport he reported that the tooth fairy left him whole dollar. He was so excited and said now he has spending money on his trip. Kai'imi keeps saying when is it her turn.

Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was full of fun, we did our usual of taking them to Inkelys for the free pictures, walking main street, going to Colonial Square, going to Senior Citizen Center where Trent works and yes 4th year in a row Ty was sick but went along till it was time to trick or treat in the neighborhood where he feel asleep and slept the night away. Kai'imi and Ili got plenty to share. We always have their cousins come over and the Men take the kids around the neighborhood. The Dads enjoy taking them cause they trick or treat as well. They always stop at the Russons house and have a giant bowl of Chili.
