Visit from North Pole

We visited Santa at Flips and Miss Mo did an awesome job. The kids made some Christmas ornaments, took pictures with Santa thank you Matt those pictures are beautiful, got some goodies and we even won a $25 gift card to Hollywood Connection. Sweet! As you can see on the picture Raimana just got up from his long nap. But at least he still gave me a smile. Precious!

Love that picture!

Hinarei with Santa

Raimana and Santa

She did it...

I am so excited for Hinarei a couple of months ago (I know I am so behind) in October she wanted to ride her small bike without the training wheels. I hesitated because she tried before and fell multiple times so she hasn't touched her bike for a while. One day out of the blue she asked to ride her bike. There were no training wheels and I didn't want to put them back on so I told her she had to ride it without. She said it was fine. So I helped her for about 20 minutes and before I knew she was pedaling all by herself...I was surprised. She was sooo happy and couldn't wait to show her Dad. We were so proud of her. So now she wants to ride her bike all the time...I guess we know what Santa is going to bring her for Christmas...:)

Look how happy she is!! We are so proud of her.

And off she goes...

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!!
