My nightMARES...

I would attach a picture but I don't think Jared would appreciate the lovely pictures I captured of all FOUR of us on our mattress. It has become ridiculous, to say the least. I resorted to sleeping in the office last night. So a couple of weeks ago my son (Moses) got sick after he had just gotten used to sleeping in his "big boy" bed. During his sickness he would come crying to our door and I was just TOO tired to put him back in bed, so I allowed him to sleep with us. THIS has since cause many sleepless nights for me. Every night since he comes pounding on our door demanding to sleep in our bed. I tried often putting him back in his bed. Didn't work... he'd come back out. I thought, OK... let me put up his crib again and see how he does... he cried on and off for nearly 2 1/2 hours. I was going crazy listening to him SCREAM bloody murder. I swear it wasn't this hard with the other three... I don't know what to do with the little man. And to add to it... his older sister (Emi) has picked up on it. She's IN LOVE with Peter Parker and a couple of days ago I allowed her to watch "Spiderman" but she woke up crying in the middle of the night about spiders chasing her and since has cried to come and sleep in our bed also. You'd think I'd atleast have it down by the FOURTH kid??? But seriously, I think I just might go CRAZY if I spend another night being kicked, punched or pushed by these two trying to take my bed and SLEEP away from me. ANY suggestions???

The Unga Bunga's @ Knotts

We all decided to hit up an amusement park a couple days before the baptism. So Trish and the rest of the Frisko krew came up on Wednesday morning to rest for Knott's on Thursday. Uncle Nua kept calling and calling, asking what we were doing. I guess he was jealous that he was missing out on ALL the fun and decided to call off work and jump on the next flight to ONT. We had so much FUN!!! We skipped the lines by doing child swap and rode most of the rides. One of my funnest trips in a L O N G long time. (lol)

The kids found real eggs in the bushes at Knotts. They're laid by the many hens that roam the grounds. They were so excited!

Story time with Papa Lui...

When we were young we L O V E D to hear my Dad tell stories.

Early Sunday morning I heard these three giggling and came down to find Papa Lui (animated and all) telling them one of his stories. It was really funny! Thought I ought to capture the moment!... We're still LOVING your stories Dad!

Bishop and Sister Meservy with Jocelyn. All Jocelyn kept saying is "Mom, can I go and play?"... but of course the Grandma's had a program for her and asked her to please stay. It was all worth it though, when she got to take home the fakapale (dance mula). lol!

Jocelyn and Uncle Joe

Jocey was excited to have Uncle Joe baptize her. She was then confirmed by Grandpa/ Bishop Moses Vaitai. She was very happy to have such special men perform these sacred ordinances.
