Hair & Make-up Anyone??

So last Friday we were home w/the kids watching movies & the girls asked if I could paint their nails??  :D  Well, we took it 2 a WHOLE 'nother level & added some make-up & I let the girls style their own hair since they've been so PATIENT w/me styling & playing w/their hair 4 the past month now.  Lol.  I love having girls!!  And mines are so girly girl that it makes it even easier 2 try things w/them & on them.  Hahaha!!  

We also celebrated my bday last Saturday.  It was a GREAT day!!  :D  My husband woke up BRIGHT & EARLY & threw down in the kitchen.  He made me a homemade breakfast 2 die 4!!  :D  Sweet Italian sausage w/scrambled eggs & toast on whole wheat bread & pancakes!!  :D  I was a HAPPY camper 4 the rest of the day!!  Lol.  We headed 2 watch his brothers/cousins play rugby as well & then ended the night w/dinner @ Sudai.  An AWESOME Thai restaurant up on the eastside!!  :D  It was GREAT!!  It's made me that much more GRATEFUL 4 WONDERFUL family & especially a even more WONDERFUL husband!!  I love you so much!!  :D  Thanx 2 my sister & brother 4 taking us out 2 dinner.  Nothing beats GREAT food & even BETTER company.

Gymnast Of The Month!! :D

Our daughter, Polu Marie, has been in gymnastics 4 only a month now & 2 our surprise is 'Gymnast Of The Month'  :D  We're so proud of her!!  She's our middle child & has always been very athletic!!  She's an AWESOME blessing in our family & she's definitely one 2 always STRIVE 2 DO HER BEST!!  That's what makes her stand out!!  She works hard @ everything she's involved in & never gives up!!  :D  She's AWESOME & we LOVE her so much!!  :D

FHE Activity!! :D

Last night we took the kids over 2 our local library 4 our FHE activity.  The kids were able 2 make rabbit masks.  They had a blast!!  :D  And the best thing about it is that they provide everything!!  :D  I love it.  We get 2 leave everything there & return home w/our crafts!!  :D  Unfortunately, there are no pictures of my husband or my son cause he couldn't quite grasp the concept of sitting still & coloring his bunny mask.  He was much more interested in all the books surrounding him @ every turn.  Lol.  So my husband walked him 2 the playground outside & spent the hour there w/him which was great, too, since it was so SUNNY & WARM out.  :D  We totally ended our FHE w/dessert that Hoko made!!  YUM!!  It was GREAT!!  

Happy Hunting!! :D

Our Sabbath day started out with a program @ church given by my parents.  They asked my daughter, Aaliyah, if she would do a musical number 4 them.  So she did.  She sang, "I'm Trying 2 Be Like Jesus."  And they had Tasha bear her testimony.  It was a great program where we were reminded of how SIGNIFICANT an event the atonement was 4 all of mankind.  It filled my heart with gratitude knowing that because of the atonement of Jesus Christ, we are all able 2 repent of our sins & return back 2 him.  

We had an Easter potluck afterwards filled with DELICIOUS food & I must say that I was definitely PROUD of my sister 4 throwing down in kitchen!!  Lol.  Those of you who know her, know that she doesn't cook.  But she surprised us all yesterday with a baked ham, chicken casserole & potato salad.  It was GREAT & tasted DELISH!!  :D  

It was such a BEAUTIFUL sunny day yesterday so Hoko spent the day outside in the backyard with all the kids taking in the sun while I hybernated indoors cause I was wayyyy too full 2 walk anywhere.  Lol.  Jr invited Emily over & she brought some homemade wheat bread that I ate this morning & it was so GOOD!!  We had mom's chocolate banana cake & trifle 4 dessert.  :D  

After our potluck, we headed over 2 Fine's 4 an Easter Egg Hunt 4 the kids.  It was so much FUN!!  There were so many eggs 4 the kids when we got there & we totally added 2 it all cause we brought 250 more!!  Lol.  It was GREAT & the kids had a BLAST!!  Taeao had games & prizes 4 them all setup.  Polu Marie was our 1st place winner of 'HANDS UP STANDS UP'  And Lote was our 1st place winner of 'SIMON SAYS'  They were tons EXCITED 4 all they had received & 4 just being able 2 enjoy the company of their cousins.  :D  

Aaliyah's 1st Performance!! :D

It has been such a BUSY weekend & I didn't have time 2 blog until now.  Lol.  On Saturday Aaliyah had her 1st performance with 'The Sunshine Generation Group'  It was FANTASTIC!!  She has been practicing 4 an hour everyday 4 the past 2 weeks & it DEFINITELY paid off.  She had so much FUN up there singing & dancing her heart out & we had even MORE FUN watching her.  She was EXTREMELY happy 2 see all her supporters come out 2 support her.  :D  So a BIG THANK YOU 2 all of you who made it out.  

Her 1st performance was @ the Easter Carnival @ Wheeler Farm.  We had a blast!!  It was such a busy day.  :D  Before heading over there, we took the kids 2 our ward Easter Party!!  Where they got 2 color their own Easter baskets & go on an Easter egg hunt.  It was great & the kids had so much FUN!!  :D
