Nathans Wedding

Teagan, Aaliyah and I took a road trip home for Nathans Wedding. We first drove 4hrs to Pennsylvania to pick up Heidi and Mason, stayed the night there and continued the next 5 hrs home to Indiana. The kids did so good! On the way to Heidis the first time i had to stop 4 times in one hour. Aaliyah isnt the best at Auto feed so i had to keep stoping to put the bottle back in, but i still made really good time. It was alot better once we were driving with Mason and Heidi though. It was alot of fun! I dont have all the pictures of the wedding yet but when i do i will put them on. I was so glad that Heidi and I were there to help out. It was a Testy week with all the planning and surprises but it turned out SO good!

Poor Teagan

My Poor Teagan is Sick and Throwing up Every where! Couch, Floor you name it hes hit it. YUCK!! Perfect timing too, We leave tomorrow to go to Heidi's to pick her and Mason up to drive to Nathans Wedding. All of us in a car for 9 hours. (Not to mention trying to pack everything up to move...) I let her know the situation,. But what do you do? Its not like we are going to cancel the trip. So i am Packing Extra clothes for the ride, along with upolstery cleaner and fabreez.. Wish us Luck!!

 Teagan on one of his better days :)

Brian and Jillians Wedding

Today Brian and Jillian Got Married in the Mesa Arizona Temple. I am so Sad that me and the kids didn't get to go! Its not very often that Moana's Family is All in the same place. Out of the 11 kids 8 were there. William and Britt and the kids live there in AZ, Kiwi flew in from South Carolina, Moana Flew in from Maryland, Brian and Jillian live in Arizona too, Dale Flew in from Hawaii, Sean Fresh off the Mission as of Wednesday flew in from Las Vegas, and Abraham Flew with His parents from Samoa. Marylin, Margret, and Donald weren't able to make it from Alaska. It had been almost three years since Moana had seen his parents. I am So glad he got to go support Brian, and see the rest of the family. I know he is having SO MUCH FUN. His Family is just Tons of Fun, Never a Dull moment with those boys. They are always joking and laughing and just having a good time. Its sad its such a short trip. He comes back Monday morning. But at least he got to go. I Really want Teagan and Aaliyah and any others that might come along to know his side of the family and be familiar with the culture. It is SO FUN and DIFFERENT. I cant wait to go and see Samoa, Where he grew up and of course the beach!! Hopefully the next Family Reunion we can all go!
                                                                 

Mothers Day

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY  to all the Mothers out there. I hope your was good. First i would like to start off by thanking my Mother for everything she has done for me. She has always been the greatest example to me and i love her so much! Second i would like to thank my Mother-in law for raising such an AWESOME MAN that i married! I just love him so much and am so grateful for how he turned out! And Third Want everyone to know how grateful i am to be a Mother. I have the Best Cutest Kids EVER ( i know i am bias but still ) I Love every moment i get to spend with them. It is such a blessing to have them in my life and i am so grateful that Heavenly Father has Blessed me with such sweet little spirits.

Mothers Day was such a Beautiful Day. The weather was perfect! We got up and got dressed for church and then drove down to DC So my husband could show a house. The kids and i had Breakfast in the car while we waited for Moana to finish. Then we Stopped by a house that we may move into, Looked around for a while and played in the yard ( it has an AWESOME yard, which is hard to find out here). Then we Drove back home and went to church. Church was SO GREAT! Since it was mothers day all the men took over the mothers responsibilities so we could go to Relief Society. I am in the Primary Presidency so i NEVER get to go. It was so nice to be able to pay attention and feel Spiritually Fed Since normally i am wrestling Children and don't get to pay attention. Then we came home took some pictures and Moana did some Whirl Wind Cleaning ( Cleans Super fast! ) and then made me an Awesome dinner. Steaks potatoes and carrots, and Some really good bread. Then he did the dishes all by himself! Food tastes SO much better to me when you don't have to make it or clean it up.! And that was my Mothers Day!

BBQ

So we will be moving away from our AWESOME WARD and we are so sad about it! We have made some really good friends and are so sad to leave them. We had a little BBQ so we could all get together and hang out. The Food was great the Company was great but the weather.. Very Very Chilly! It would have been Perfect had the sun been on us and no wind. Hopefully we can keep in touch with everyone. We will miss you guys!

Wedding Flowers

 

My Little Brother Nathan is getting Married! The luky Girl is Alex Loredo. I am So Excited for them! My Mom and Heidi have been so Busy trying to get everything together for it. There is just so much that has to be done for a wedding. I wanted to help so my mom asked me to do the flowers. She did all the bridesmaid Bouquets and i did everything else. It has been alot of fun! I hadn't ever done anything like this before but i don't think they turned out too bad. I actually LOVE how they turned out! Their colors are yellow and the tealish blue. Below is Alex's Bouquet and Nathans boutonnieres. Also a smaller Bouquet she can throw, So she doesnt have to throw her real one. I had so much fun doing these!
