The ALL-STAR player...AILINI...

This past weekend mom and I went to Ailini's ALL-STAR game on friday 3/12/09 and saturday 3/13/09. Sinai was in california with her two older boys (Pitasoni & Nohe'a) visiting Lani as well as attending the Filimoe'atu family reunion. So mom and I was blessed to go and attend Ailini & Leia's all-star game, OMG can we talk about FUN, FUN, FUN, you can count on me going to the rest of the games, through the rain and all. Ailini played fantastic and so did Leia these two will be awesome when they get into high school. Sunday mom was really sick (probably from sitting in the rain on saturday). So she didn't go to church or shall I say we didn't go to church, cutest thing was watching the niece and nephews cater to grandma being sick, it truly does suck when mom is sick you can totally tell. I was achy and headache but had to get my bootay up and cook some food and clean around the house, thank goodness the kids are at the house they were totally a BIG help. Anyways enjoy the pic's and the video's plenty more to come I can guarentee you.

Letting out my FRUSTRATION!!

Man this week had just been sooo frustrating just when I thought I was doin' good on the whole workout thing, then go and weigh myself only to see I gained 2 lbs what the HELL. But talking to my sister's Sinai, & Silia has kept my me on the positive side (thank goodness for these two). Just wish the fatt would just fall off, if it were only that easy aye, I went last night to ZUMBA with Deena, and her daughter Kelsey, man these two kick ass seriously in my mind I'm thinkin' come on kalo get your fat ass movin' LOL yeah I know I shouldn't be talkin' like that but sometimes I don't know what else to say. Trying to be healthier and getting into shape isn't as easy as it sounds, it takes TONS of WORK and plenty of DETERMINATION. I got an email message from carla from the Biggest Loser and this is what she said: "It's not that your eating polynesian food, it's how much of it you're eating. You can have it just cut the portions down. Start moving more, if you can't excersise, get the kids and go to the park, play frisbee, slide in the slide, swing, play tag. Just K.I.M!!! You'll start seeing results." and this is nothing new cause that was the exact words Sinai's ALWAYS tellin me, just keep moving sis is all she says, sooo thankful to have LOVING sister's who care for me enough to help me out as much as they can wether it be pushing me to hit the gym or just getting me to stop slacking and get moving. Tons of thoughts go through my mind as to is this the reason why I'm still single, because of my weight? I mean I hear it alot to where it gets annoying sometimes, you know kalo if you were alot smaller you would have no problem in finding a boyfriend, ok what am I suppose to think?? I know think positive but whatever happend to the inner beauty?? hoii guess it's all part of life right?? living, learning, and pressing forward. The day I get skinny is the day I'll be telling the guys to KISS MY ASS hahahaha, I'm the same NOW and will be when I get smaller. Just had to let out the frustrations after all it is my BLOG!!!

Happy 67th Birthday Pops!!

Wishing DAD a Happy Birthday today, yesturday we celebrated my dad's 67th birthday. Mom decided she was gonna surprise Dad, and with this she went saturday night shopping for the food, and calling my brother's and sister's and letting them know she'll be making food. I got up pretty early (sunday morning) and not surprised at all mom had already gotten the majority of the food ready to be cooked. It was soo CUTE when I got up I can hear mom say Happy Birthday to pops and I peeked around the corner she was putting on a Lei from hawaii on him before he headed out to his meeting. Dad didn't know mom had a few tricks up her sleeve with planning his surprise B-day party with his kids, and grand kids. So he headed out to his meeting and from there stayed for church. Mom was soo into her cooking by the time she got the food cooked she looked at the time and it was already noon LOL, yeah you know what that means...mom missed church and so did I hahahaa, nah but in the end it was well worth it, Brian and Sela and they're little family wasn't able to attend due to the illness of Brian as well as baby Daniel, we were able to visit them after the majority of the family left, and we ended up bringing baby Daniel home with us...Get well bro, and baby Daniel.

Just a little about Dad. He's a caring, hardworking, and a LOVING guy I've been sooo blessed to have him as a father, and for him to work EXTREMELY hard for us kids growing up and til now. I couldn't ask for a better father because I have truly been blessed with the BEST! you would think that dad being retired he would just sit home and relax...NOPE your wrong dad still up and workin' Iate and still providing for us at home. We as his children are blessed to have him in our lives as well as the examples and teachings he's instilled in US his children as well as for his Grand Kids. Teti Malo ho'o ofa moe tokoni lahi oku ke fai ki mau tolu...Have a Happy Birthday dad and many more to come!!!

The Birthday BOY...LOVE YOU DAD!!

Another FUN FILLED weekend!!

OK so Friday 6/05/09 I went with Sinai to Gideon's Graduation. I guess we thought it was for the whole 1st grade class Ooops nope just Gideon's class I think Brydan's was really the day we went to the school:O:O which was the day we got moded LOL, anyways Sinai and I had went to his graduation it was soo dang cute, funny thing is when we got there we sat down and Sinai had called Gideon to look so she can take a picture of him he looked then looked away real quick as if he was too COOL to take pic's LOL, or even as if he didn't know us hahaha, anyways here are a couple of pic's I took of him, there are more on bebo.

Next amount of pic's are from the DRIVE IN. We made it kinda traditional to go to the Drive ins with the kids in the SUMMER. This night we went to watch Night At the Museum 2, it was pretty funny, the movie paired up with it was the X-MEN wolverine movie which we ALL basically knocked out (seems we've already watched it). Anyways I LOVE LOVE LOVE spending ALL the time I can with the nieces and nephews, and my beautiful sisters. We've actually had some interesting neighbors talk about every time we go we have issues with people LOL but overall it was a FUN FILLED NIGHT!!

Alrighty y'all are probably wondering why my title is what it is...So Sinai calls me at work this morning to tell me that she was able to download the pic's from my camera onto her computer and I was like ok time to go and steal the pic's and add them to my bebo. About 5 mins later she calls my desk again.
Sinai: Hello kalo
Me: YES
Sinai: Can I borrow your camera for the twins graduation?
Me: Sure when is it?
Sinai: it's today at 11:00 a.m.
Me: Ok you sure can, I'm going to go with you if that's ok
Sinai: Yeah that should be fine. So I get a IM (instant msg) from silia saying hey sis I'm going to go with you and Sinai to the graduation, I'm like Woohoo good sister time aye, so we're headin' over to the elementry school like seriously fast cause Sinai was caught up in her pule's office and when that happens it's good luck being ontime LOL. Anyways so we're rushing into the school and Sinai and Silia are at the kids classroom, yeah I was standing at the office thinking sinai was still in there LMBO (NOPE) she was down the hall with silia hahahahaha, anyways if your wondering why my title is that...

The Phone call

Ok so last night I get a phone call from my sister Lani (or at least that's what my caller ID showed), I pick up the phone and I say Hello a couple of times then out of no where I hear this HELLLLOOOO..really slow and I'm like, who's this?? and I hear Aunty Kalo, then I realize it's Madison, my sister Lani's youngest daughter apparently she got ahold of her cellphone and called me up, this sister of mine as well as her little ones live in cali, and is really missed by us here in UTAH it was really good to talk to my nieces and nephews and to hear them ask me if I'm coming out next week for the family reunion broke my heart cause I seriously wanna see them, but the funds is what does the talking. Anyways Lani jumps on the phone and she's like sorry sis I didn't know she called you up, I'm thinking no problemo cause seriously it's soooo good to hear her, she's been busy with schooling so I haven't had much time to talk to her, she's going to school for billing in the medical field good job sis so proud of you, she'll be graduating in Oct. Anyways, she was telling me about her little daughter graduating from pre-school and how they went to pick out a dress, and the first dress she picked was a strawberry dress, Lani kept trying to talk Madison out of getting that dress I guess the strawberries wasn't cuttin' it for her LOL, so she talked Madison into getting a pastel dress that came with a purse can't wait to see it. So then Lani wins cause the purse is what got Madison to change her mind, Griffin will also be promoting from kindergarten to the first grade this little boy is sooo dang handsome, and also Loto Lahi, he tends to hold it in when he's mad but over all is a good kid, Congratulations Griffin. Anyways Lani goes to tell me that her daughter Madison gave her a list of things she wants for her "GRADULATIONS" that's how she says it man I couldn't stop laughing LOVE to hear the kids FOB out LOL, she says mom I want a dress, shoes, and candy lei's hahaha this little girl is a hoot can't wait till she hits high school you got some major shopping LOL...anyways Lani and her family is truly missed and Just wanted her to know that we truly do LOVE YOU, and can't wait till you move back to UTAH;) hint, hint!!
