Weekend Fun

I put together this tent full of fun, to keep the kids occupied while I was cleaning up and they absolutely loved it. It was hard for me to get them out by the end of the day but worth every fight. I was able to clean my entire house without any interruptions. Thanks Maila and Diarra for this great gift.

My Family

Funniest People I Know

Here are my two lovely sisters Fiti and Janet (Fiti is on the left and Janet on the right). I really wanted to dedicate this post to them. Why you may ask....well mainly because I have nothing else to post but also because Fiti and Janet are always crackin me up and because of that, I believe they deserve this shout out. They are the two funniest people I know. I can always count on them to lighten the mood and basically make me laugh so hard I can hardly stand on my feet. I absolutely love these two. Hopefully this post doesn't come off too cheesy(and I am sure it will) but I really wanted to take the time to show my appreciation for the "funny people" in my life. My life would be so NOT funny without these two. Well....I'm sure it would still be "fun" but not as "funny"

Thanks Fiti and Janet

Troy and Rob's First Countertop Job

After

Before

Troy and Rob started and finished their very first countertop job this weekend. They were able to lay their product over existing tile countertops that the owners originally had. The new countertops look awesome against the white cabinets. Who would have known that Troy and Rob have an eye for color schemes. They have continued to stay busy and are building a great reputation for good work. Keep up the great work!

Nature Park

Today we went to a nature park in Green Valley. Teni and Alyia had all their friends with them (Fiti,Mason,Trey,Rylan,and Marli). The kids had a blast walking the 1/2 mile trail. At the end of the trail was a pond full of ducks and fish. They had a blast feeding the ducks and fish. My favorite feature about this particular park is that the playground has a canopy over it to keep it cool. We had lunch and then went home because it got pretty warm. The next time we decide to go we will definitely have to go at an earlier time to beat the heat.

Last night Alyia starting taking a few steps again. She is getting alot better with strangers. I think she is slowly realizing that not every stranger is a nurse or doctor. She has also stopped sucking her two fingers, only because she didn't do it for a entire week while at PCH and by the time we came home it was almost like she just forgot.

Having Tons of Fun With Cousins

Today the kids had so much fun with their cousins. Mason and Fiti came over to hang out and have fun. They played outside in the sun all day long. Alyia even got into the action. She is improving leaps and bounds. After a long day outside the kids came in and watched 101 Dalmations. Only 20 min. into the movie they quickly fell asleep. I guess that's what happens when you play too hard. All four kids took a nap at the exact same time, pretty impressive huh? (I know I'm freakin incredible! ) Today was a pretty monumentus day for Teni. He figured out how to pee standing up! He didn't even make a mess. Well now that you know more than you cared for, it is time to say bye, so later.

Just low key

Well today was pretty uneventful except for the fact that Alyia continues to regain her strength. She is taking a few steps at a time. Because she got so sick, she has had to relearn alot of physical things. She gets exhausted really fast but continues to be so happy. Teni is such a character he will not go anywhere without his cars (Lightning Mcqueen, The King, Chick, and Checker Charlie) I can't even take a picture with him without his cars. Troy is staying busy with work. He starts another job tomorrow. Things are starting to pick up. He also stays busy with softball. He plays in two leagues, every Tuesday and Wednesday. Teni loves cheering for his dad. Every time Troy goes up to bat Teni yells "Come on dad, you can do it!" So I am sure Troy is looking forward to hearing Teni scream for him tonight. Well that's about everything that happened today. I am just looking forward to laying in bed and catching up on all the shows I tivoed while at Primary Childrens Hospital. Tivo has to be the greatest thing invented!
