1 down!

Teni lost his very first tooth!.. and man was he excited. I noticed his tooth was really loose and just needed a little tug and pull. Troy ended up pulling it out himself with Teni's permission. Teni was really happy in the beginning until he saw blood and then he was a little disgusted. That disgust quickly turned into excitement when he remembered what the tooth fairy was good for...$$$$! Teni couldn't wait to go to bed and come morning, he was happy to see that the tooth fairy did leave him some $$$. He can't wait to lose another one.

You better watch out! You better not CRY!

I love pictures like this one. They are the BEST!...and so funny to look back on. Every year we take a photo with Santa and every year one of my kids end up screaming their heads off. This year, it was Jordyn's turn:)

Finally!!!

It's about time we had one of these done! This is our family's first photo shoot EVER. I don't know what in the heck took us so long but FINALLY we have them. We took them in 3 unconventional locations (seems to be popular nowadays) and I think they turned out pretty great.

1st Location: The Bubble Hut Laundromat

Troy hated taking this photo but I think it's adorable:) and not too cheesy

Jordyn refused to climb in the big dryer but she did think about it

Daddy and his girls

Mom and her lil' man

I wish the sign in the back was a little clearer because it reads "Please do not climb on the counters and washers." Pretty funny....

2nd Location: Our Couch

3rd Location: Our bed (I love these pictures because it captures where we spend a good chunk of our time as a family. We love to cuddle, watch movies, pray, and play with the kids in our bed. Our mornings are spent in bed with our kids especially on weekends. It's the best and sweetest time of our day.

This is my favorite photo because we are ALL smiling, at once, and in the same picture! This never happens.

Thanksgiving 2010

We headed to Las Vegas for thanksgiving this year and fortunately for Teni and Alyia, they were able to see my parents a whole week earlier then expected. My sisters were in town the week before thanksgiving and decided to take Alyia and Teni back with them. Troy, Jordyn, and I met up with the kids the next week.

Dinner time is the best time!...We were lucky enough to have the traditional thanksgiving dinner ( turkey,ham,sweet potatoes, etc....) combined with the traditional Samoan dinner( sweet n sour meatballs, chop suey, oka, and rice) It was AWESOME!

Bingham wins championship game!

I think it is safe to say that my family LOVES sports! Football especially has always been a huge part of my family's life growing up and continues to be now. I started going to football games when I was barely in kindergarten and it has been non-stop from there. Daniel is my fifth brother to play high school ball and like the other four, will probably play in college too. I didn't like it very much back then but between all the little league, high school, college, and NFL games I've been to, I've definitely grown to appreciate it more.

This year we watched Daniel's football team(Bingham Miners) beat Davis in the championship game. It was so much fun to be there and to cheer Bingham on. Daniel did so well. He starts as Fullback and is one of just two Juniors to be in the starting lineup. What a huge accomplishment! We celebrated this victory by going out to dinner at Training Table. Way to go D!!!

Teni loves watching his uncle play and especially loves cheering him on.

Great job D!!!

Halloween 2010

I love this time of year! Halloween is most definitely one of my favorite holidays. I love to get my house spookified but most especially, I love to see all the funny and cool costumes that only come around this time of year.

Instead of carving pumpkins we decided to change it up a bit this year and paint them. It was a lot less messy and the pumpkins turned out really cute!

The day before Halloween we took a haunted boat ride down the Provo river. We saw many carved pumpkins on our ride and even had a pirate attack our boat. It was a lot of fun!

I decided this year to have a Halloween party at my house. We invited close family and friends. We ate a variety of delicious soups (clam chowder,chili,cheese and broccoli ) in bread bowls and had some very yummy cupcakes from Sweet Tooth Fairy Bakery. My favorites were the strawberry creme and oreo cupcakes, they were to die for!

The kids enjoyed a donut eating contest without the use of their hands. It was pretty hilarious to watch them play this.

My sweet and scary family.

This is the ugliest costume I've ever wore but I thought it was pretty hilarious. I stuffed it with a pillow but by the end of the night it got too hot and I had to get rid of it!

We all had so much fun and I can't wait to do this all over again!
