Random

These are random pics I had left on my camera. Jesse's parents and Quinton came to visit for Christmas. December was a very busy month for Jesse and I. I'm halfway thru with this pregnancy, actually I think I'm five months now and I'll hit my 6 month mark, my third trimester this month! EEk!! I'm tired just thinking about it. We had Sesi's bday, which I didn't take pictures of because my camera was dead. We had his cousins over and all the kids helped decorate sugar cookies for his 2nd bday. I had my bday a week later and Jesse took me out to lunch and we spent an hour or two together before he had to leave to work. The following week we celebrated our 6 yr anniversary!!!! My sis Ini got us a room in Green Valley and my mother in law watched the kids the 2 nights we were away from home. While Brett and Laverne were here we took them to do some things they'd been wanting to do. Laverne had never seen snow, these pictures are of us at Brian Head, Ut. They also wanted to see Red Rock so we took them there the week before. Sesi loved throwing snowballs, that's all he did while we were there. It was a fun and crazy month and now that everyone's gone, we are ready to get back in business for the new year!
















A couple of halloween pics are the only one's I took of the kids after all the trick or treating we did. Sesi was a robber, Leva was a ninja but we left the other piece of his costume in the car when i took this pic so he looks just like sesi, my little candy thieves. I put Ke'ala in last yrs costume because I put her in a princess costume for the first trunk or treat we went to and she wanted it off after 5 minutes. Comfort is key with this girl.

Latu's Baptism

My nephew,Latu, turned 8 in October and we were blessed to have Lusi and Wes here so we can be a part of the program. It's crazy how fast time goes by. I remember when I used to dress him up in girls clothes and take pics of him when he was a baby. Leva loves his best buddy and wants to go to school and get baptized just like Latu did. We love you Latu!!

Diva turned 3

We had a bbq at the park for Ke'ala's third birthday since my mom and dad were still in town visiting us. It's so nice to have all the little kiddies around to keep each other company. I gave lusi my camera to take pics since I was setting stuff up. It was a nice day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Today is my little sister's birthday!! Happy birthday Aunty Ela! She is serving in the Philippines and we do love and miss her. Happy birthday to Clayton, too! I think my Bro in law shares the same bday.. woot woot for all the december bdays!!!

4!!

Brett Halaleva turned 4 in August!! Where the time has gone, I have no clue, but it was a low key bday, right after World Market, I was tired and didn't want to bother with anything. We had cupcakes in the morning :) Our kids LOVE birthdays, LOVE parties, LOVE singing happy birthday, and above all, they LOVE SWEETS. Who doesn't? We had sugar in the morning, took him to the store so he could pick out his present, he is just like Jesse, knows exactly what he wants and will be glad to let you know..its been 5 months now and since we got him the dragons for his bday he's been asking for the one we "forgot". Then we went swimming, my kids were super dark this summer, all we did was swim. Good fun. That night my sisters came over last min to watch movies with Leva. the next day I took him to the park to test out his truck from Aunty Moli and her fam.

(These pics aren't in order either, I've been waiting days for my blog to upload photos and it's finally working so I'm trying to wrk fast to do as much as possible before I get lazy or before it crashes again. Bare with me, people!!)


The only one willing to smile for me at the pool.. love sesi. :(


HOT FEET!!



We bought Leva goggles in Florida, we didn't have any here so he took these out to the pool and used them as his goggles. Everyone had a turn.



He is very into "How to Train Your Dragon" it's a kids movie, filled with dragons.








It was a fluke that I captured the next moment with Jesse and 'Ala. I was trying to get a close up of her smiling without Jesse in the picture and somehow this happened while I was snapping away..





She wanted her hair out, as always, told Jesse to take it out and being the man that he is, he pulled her hair tie out and wasn't very gentle about it.. she got mad at him and wouldn't go near him after that. DIVAA!


Now these two.. This makes me laugh, if you know my niece and nephew, they will fight to the death about anything. Which is pretty much what they did the whole time at the pool. Here they are fighting about who sat where. Latu sat first.. then Lina said, I want to sit there!.. so she did. lol! It was near the end of the day and in the picture above, Leva had this look on his face that was so funny to me. He had this blank stare, then got out of the hot tub and left them alone.

HAAPPY FAAMILY!!!
