Boyz II Men Concert!!

We were lucky to have free tickets to go watch the Boyz II Men concert at the Fair. I was mostly excited to go see them Wayne not so much he just came to be with me, thanks babe :) Back then Boyz II Men was a BIG hit in Tahiti and I can still remember listening to their album over and over again. Since we had 6 tickets we invited Tati Emily and gave out 2 tickets to complete strangers because W's friends couldn't come anymore. The couple we chose actually drove all the way from Provo to go see the concert tonight and when they got here they realized the concert was sold out!! So I'm glad we made their night. They sat next to us and we actually had a lot of fun with them dancing, singing and sreaming!! The girls group behind us were actually louder, but it was all fun!!
This month is actually their 20th year anniversary, wow I can't believe they have been around that long!! Let me tell you Boyz II Men was sooo popular in Tahiti, so some of my friends from Tahiti couldn't believe that I was actually going to their concert. I guess they better have the Boyz II Men go to Tahiti because it would be a HUGE hit!!
Thank you so much Debbie for watching our kids. Sorry for the pictures they are kind of blurr...

I Love their voices!!

Raimana 1st day of school

Yesterday was Raimana 1st day at Joyschool. We are 5 Moms rotating between each other. We teach 4 hours a week 2 days a week. We treat it just like a regular preschool and more. Raimana is loving it!! I am so glad Kristin, Emma, Dani and Jen are part of it they are such great ladies to do Joyschool with. Our kiddos are going to learn so many amazing things this year, we are very excited about it. I just love it!! Plus it's only 5 kids so lots of one on one teaching with the teacher (Mom) and the child. Plus the kids already know each other so it makes the transition even better. Thank you ladies for making this happen. Plus it's saving us tons it's FREE!!! Love it!!

Happy Birthday Raimana!!!

I can't believe my little boy turned 3 today!! Seriously!! Where did the time go??? When he woke up this morning I told him "happy birthday" he was so excited!! He kept saying "it's my birthday today?" We asked him what he wanted to do and he said "Are my friends coming?". Raimana was supposed to have a birthday party yesterday but since he was sick all week I had to postpone for the following Friday. We decided to take the kids to Chuck E Cheese. We've never been there and let me tell you this place is awesome!! Raimana was in Heaven!! He tried every single ride and game!! We stayed there for at least 3 hours!!! The kids had so much fun.

However Raimana sometimes would forget where we were sitting and before we knew it he had eaten someone else pizza and showed us a couple of tokens that we know we did not give them to him...Then later he came back with tons of tickets in his hands and we knew he couldn't have won that many...Little stinker...:) After Chuck E Cheese we went home and he blew the candles on his woody cake that I got at Walmart last month for $1.50. I just put in the freezer and took out last night. Raimana couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the cake. Oh precious!! He's into the toy Story thing and love anything about the movie. He got fun birthday gifts and played with them for the rest of the afternoon. That evening we went to Mathias 1st birthday party. My friend Anabel did an amazing job. The theme was circus and the set up and decorations were AMAZING!! I loved the balloon center pieces and the party favors, the menu, I mean everything. Good job Anabel. I am so happy that both of our boys share the same birthday...I stayed and helped Anabel cleaned up and was able to get to know her parents a little more. They are the sweetest parents ever. They drove all the way from Vegas for their grandchild's birthday. How precious is that!! Love it!!
