THREE in THREE!

Can't believe my baby will be THREE in THREE months. Time sure does fly.

After my little Em, I thought that we were done. Seriously D O N E!

But I guess the Lord had other plans for us and we learned shortly in early 2006 that we would be expecting again. I was already 3 months by the time I found out. I was ELATED to find out I was carrying. Jared was excited to know I wasn't done. I knew this little man was special. And that our family needed him in our lives. He was such a wonderful bundle of sweetness and love bundled into one. He made us so happy. He still does. Even though homeboy decided to strip nakey on Sunday, roll around in the muddy/ grassy backyard, open the gate leading to the neighbors, open their slider and trail through their home and up the street STARK NAKEY! ALL in literally O N E minute. Seriously. Homeboy has NO shame. ever. He gives me a good run... everyday. He talks. Alot. and tries to boss his big sis's and bro around. Most of the time they just let him get his way. But other times he's up for a good fight.

We love him anyway. And are so SO happy to have him in our lives.

LOVE YOU MOE MOE! This year's party is at the beach...again. Join us if you can!!!!

Who is HOT?!

WHaHooooooo!!! is all I could hear as Jared flew in the door after work.

"Look L!, check this out!" he yells

I looked at him as he flips frantically through the pages of Sports Illustrated magazine.

"What? What's going on???" I asked

"Check it out!!!!!" he says as he points to Vikings player no. 38 (pictured) on the top of SI Who's Hot list.

"THAT is whaaaAAaAat I'm talkin' 'bout boooOOOOoooOOOooy!"

He carries on hootin' and hollerin'. By then I was laughing and hootin' and hollerin' tooo!!!

Fahu is Jared's little bro (technically first cuz but they were raised together) and we are so proud of all his HARD work this past season and wish him the BEEEESSSTTTT!!!!!!!

( All I kept thinking is, Dang, it must STINK to be on the Who's NOT list! lol!)

The winner is....

Congrats Tera on a pack of dipes and some undies. Send me the size(s) you want and your addy and I'll have those out in a jiffy!

I've GRADUATED!!!

Hoooray for meEEEEeeeeEEE!!!
No more stinkin' poopies, or filled to the brim dipes.
No more luggin' around huge-mongo bags of change, spit rags and sippies.
BECAUSE-
My little man Moe is POTTY-TRAINED. Officially.
And he says he's a BIG BOY!
He sits himself down for a potty.
And I couldn't be more elated!
Because I've spent the last NIIIIIIIIINE!!!! years of my existence cleaning up the stuff.
And I AM DONE!
Goodbye good 'ole Dipe Bag.
I am HAPPY to see you go.




In celebration I reeee-lax.
With my tall glass of Calli.
And vaguely remember the days of endless dipes and stinky change rooms.
I will enjoy this next diaper-less chapter.
YyeeeeeEEEEEeeeeSSSSSssss!!!!
So bring on the bedheads.
And messy faces... yes! wipies I will keep. Forever I'm sure.
But Dipes I bid a happy farewell!!!

Hip Hippeeee- HoooooraaaYYYYYyyy!!!!

In celebration I have three (3) packs of Spiderman undies (2t/ 3t/ 4t) to give away... PLUUUUS a BRAND NEW PACK OF dipes. You choose the size. Comment on whether you have/will celebrate or mourn the day YOUR baby graduates from dipes to undies.

Happy Sunday!!!!

For the LOVE of spring and the happiest place on earth.

Thus far we have enjoyed lazy days during this break. I'm LOVING it. So are our kids!



We've soaked up the sun at the park, watching the kids play, swing and pitch ball.







Had a few friends for sleepovers. We love this little guy, and hope he gets to stay with us in a-town a little longer. (ONLY Em would insist on hand-feeding her friends fish-ez. What a great friend! lol!)





Taken trips down to Anaheim to vacay at the hotel with the kids. Cruised 'The City Block' in Orange just across from the hotel. So cool!






Papa Lui promised the kids a trip to Disneyland, but since he couldn't make it sent us to take them anyway. And they had so much fun. Also gave us the opportunity to upgrade to season passes, YAY!!!! Anyone got 'em? DISNEY DAY TRIP... holla!!!! Thanks dad!










And Mr. Moe couldn't get enough of the Disneyland Dance Party. He thought he was at a Tongan Hulohula and was begging Emi to go out on the dance floor (street) with him, not realizing they were doing choreographed routines and would trample him.



I couldn't help but laugh and try to reel him in... (the monkey was a TRUE saver! and child keeper, esspecially for a fiesty one like Moe). Our Spring Break is almost coming to a close. This weekend is the anticipated General Conference and then we have one more week to maybe get another Disney in, a few park and library days then it will all be over.

And I'll await the summer break... but until then Thank You Spring!!!
