He's growing up!!

There is never a dull moment with Siua. From the moment he crawled til now. He is full of surprises! The other day my sister-in-law and I planned a family activity for the month of November and we planned to do a "sports day" at the West Valley Rec. It turned out pretty good. I lost 3 lbs in the process...yes!! Anyways! So as we walked in and stood around for a good 5 minutes wondering what to do first I helped my mom take the kids to the Rec's indoor playground and their playground is pretty big...no it's HUGE! Well to me at least. Let me remind you that this would be Siua's first time actually seeing a playground bigger then Mcdonalds...hahahaha. So I open up the door and let Siua and Pita in, then I walked in right after as soon as he steps in and realizes where we were he stood still with wide eyes and a huge smile on his face and said in a whisper, "WOW!!" Omg! I couldn't stop laughing at his reaction. The next day (which was a Sunday) they came home with us after sleeping over at my parents and we're walking downstairs with Siua being the leader of our line and he notice that the hall way has light. He was so surprised that he looked around and said, "Oh my gorsh!!" then kept saying it after that...Jay and I couldn't stop laughing!! He has learned so many things within the 3 years of his life that it kinda worries me in the future...anyways! Siua has learned to dance when he was able to sit up. His first swear word was the "F" word which he learned by watching "The Temptations" (my fault) . His first and favorite primary song is "If your happy". His favorite word to say is "annoying" (my fault too) and he says it to everyone. He has learned so many things that it's hard for me to keep track and he's still growing. Next year he would be attending school...scary, but very exciting. hmmm...my baby is growing up! (tear, tear)

No shame what so ever...

In my own opinion referring to some, not all, but some (maybe most) palangi's are pretty crazy and they have no shame doing anything, anywhere, any place. So, I go into Walmart getting what I needed from the food isle's and then headed to get butt cream, which was in the isle with the shaving needs and deodorants, but as I was heading towards that isle there was a small palangi family: mom, dad and a newborn. The mother was standing outside the isles with their cart and the dad was standing in between the isles with the stroller lookin at what they might want and before I walked in between them....the mom had her hands in her pants scratching the freakin heck out of her butt and she didn't even care that there was people walking back and forth staring at her with wide eyes also...talk about disgusting!! Well, I though it was done with the gross stuff, but it wasn't...after I loaded up the shopping and got in the car my husband was telling me about a palangi guy sitting in his car for 5 minutes straight digging in his nose and playing with the "treasures" he found...ewww! Here you go...I wanted to tell y'all our Walmart experience...hope to never, never see that again...

A broken blanket...

Ok so my oldest is very hyper- active...he runs around, screams, plays with his toys basically everthing that a 3 year old boy can do. But there is only one thing that can keep him calm for a while and that is his little, blue sipi (blanket). Anytime that he has it, he will get comfortable anywhere...and I mean anywhere except for the bathroom...lol! Anyways! So today we just got back from doing some errands and he was mad, because before we even left the drive way he fell asleep (great timing, huh?!) not knowing that we were leaving...which was perfect for me. Anyways! After my errands were done, I woke him up from his little nap and he starts balling his eyes so I asked him why he was crying and he said he wanted to go...hahaha! I try to explain to him that we just got back and he didn't believe me so he stormed off...stomping his feet and crying. Well, soon after I could hear him mumbling something heading towards me, but I couldn't understand, so I kept doing what I was doing then he came up next to me holding up his blanket and asked me..

Siua: "Mom, you broke my blanket?"
Me: "What?"
(Then he lifts his blanket with one finger through a hole)
Me: "hahahaha....Siua it's not broken, it's ripped"
Siua: "Man, mom you broke my blanket!" (he said this as he slowly turns away disappointed)

Ha!...my husband and I thought that was totally hilarious!!!

He was so excited!!

before (v) and after (^)
So we finally cut Siua's beautiful hair, but only because he wanted to be his own hair stylist...whenever he gets a hold of a pair of scissors the first thing he does is cut his hair and it's not where it can usually blend in with the rest of head...no, it had to be right in front and then the top part of his head. Believe me...I've tried hiding it, but it's hard to do when his hair kinda looks like a deformed Alfalfa...lol! Anyways! After he got his haircut he was so excited to do a show and tell with everyone...so we get home and he runs in showing his Grandma, then he started running around the house yelling for his dad...when he finally found him he was like jumping for joy when he was telling his dad, then he stopped and told his dad to go cut his hair...lol! My mother-in-law and I was rollin! I thought it was hilarious! But he loves his new haircut and now he's trying to get me to take Pita...lol! I'm thinking about it but not really sure...Anyways! Well, thats all I have for now...

1st white dress

I first want to thank our Father in Heaven for sending me a beautiful little girl and also those who attended her blessing.

On Sunday, November 1st Joslyn Tania Kioa was blessed at Cannon 2nd Ward by her Grandfather, Siosiua Kioa. I wished that her dad would bless her, but he felt better with his dad doing it...weird. Anyways! Well, 3 days before her blessing my mom had made her dress out of yarn and when she put it on Joslyn...I thought it was really pretty, but my mom thought otherwise so she made another dress the night before out of material instead. It was funny though, because as she was making this long white dress my dad would annoy her by saying stuff like, "Oh is she getting married?!"...hahaha! Well, I thought it was funny, but it's my moms first granddaughter...she can't help but go all out with her dress...lol! Anyways! This picture is one of four that I've taken at church and in all of them their is always a hand...total kill! But they're really nice. Grandma Teu and Lia dressed her right before sacrament and as I was watching them dress her I began thinking about the other two dresses that she would be wearing: her baptismal clothes and then her wedding dress! The day I look forward to (hopefully after or during college) and the day her dad dreads...lol! Anyways! Thanks to those who were able to make it out to her blessing!
