Sitani's Birthday
As you can tell, Sitani's birthday turned into a football game. He got a helmet (the bowl he WAS using was so cute but totally defeating its purpose) and uniform. He got one of those blow up guys to throw it into their net (although he uses it for tackling more) and JayR's kids bought him a football and they all signed their autographs (which will be worth millions some day). He even got two of the cutest little cars from Mark and Laura. It was a hit. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese and ended up playing with each other more than the games. It was just so much fun to be together.
Marley's Blessing
Mom made Marley the cutest blessing dress. It was actually made from old material from my wedding dress. She looked so cutie cutie cutie and Sitani even managed to keep his suit clean. It was so fun to get together. Although Haini always gets totallly nervous he gave her a beautiful blessing in Tongan and the translator gave a beautiful blessing in English (hehehe). The spirit was there and I'd like to think that I have the gift of tongues and could understand it (but really I had the gift of technology.)
The Zoo
Whoever would of thought that there were lions, tigers, camels, zebras, and penquins in Idaho Falls. All that plus we managed to bring the monkeys.
Haini's Pumpkin
This was the first pumkin Haini has ever carved. It was also the smallest pumpkin know to man-kind.
Fridge Tactic
This was Haini's attempt to keep Sitani out of the fridge and pantry (he was scared of the skeleton). Yeah... It only lasted about one day and he had conquered his fear of the skeleton and went back to conquering the frosting in the fridge.
Halloween Police
This was the funniest thing ever. We ran into an old visiting teacher in the mall when we were doing our trick or treating and her little boy had the same costume as Sitani. It was so cute.
Primary Activity
This was one of our primary activities. They did dances from all the islands. Our ward had Fiji. It was so cute.

Waiting
We had a lot of fun this past summer while we were waiting for the baby to come. We ate lots of ice cream, spent countless hours at the park, installed tricycles (actually that was Haini), and even managed to get pedicures (because heaven forbid. I needed one when I couldn't see my toes anymore).
