Bus Driver 'scarred for life'!

Taking Kolby out to his bus is always the same......Kaleb follows behind in his pjs - I tell him to go back inside because its cold - he grabs a handful of snow & eats it - I yell 'get inside' - then he runs inside & locks the door.
Today, was a little different........Kaleb left our door wide open - I tell him to close it & get into the shower - I help Kolby onto the bus & then his driver honks her horn - for some reason I knew to look back at Kaleb & there he was with his pants down & peeing on the doormat - OH MY GOSH!! I think I was more embarrassed than mad - Kolbys bus driver was just staring straight & kinda looked mad - I just had to apologize. Of course after he pees, he closes the door & locks it. What a morning!!

HISTORY IN THE MAKING.....

Congratulations to our new President! I watched (& am still watching) the inauguration & even Lana and Marsh joined me too....they loved the singing & music - yeah, not so much the prayers & speech (ha ha).
I was pretty impressed by President Obama's speech.....I hope that he'll make the great changes that he's promising. I'm glad that I was able to witness history in the making. :D

NFC CHAMPIONS!!

For my Arizona friends -

THE CARDINALS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!

Who would've thought??.......what a great game!! We had my brother Muimui & his friend Jeremy watch the game with us & I think it was fun for Andy to have guys to watch it with. It was a little nerve-racking near the end, but luckily it was a great ending! Okay, so I'm not a Cardinals fan, but I gotta support my familys' state.......CONGRATS CARDINALS!!

Well, now we're watching the Steelers vs Ravens game..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

(imagine a photo of him here - ha ha - I'm still unable to post pics, I'm sorry)

My father turns 55 today & he still thinks he's young (ha ha). He loves to watch & play rugby. He is the funniest Tongan I know & he is a great Dad & Grandpa. He always expects a phone call from me at least once a week.....which I sometimes forget, so its great to know that he loves to hear from us. We miss you Dad & can't wait to see you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D

Did you miss me??

I've been reminded or TOLD many times to update my blog.......its so nice to know that I have readers. Hmmm, where to start?

CHRISTMAS TREE:
We decided to decorate our tree with blue lights & silver ornaments - it really lights up the room (yes, its still up)......I just can't get myself to put it down - I'm thinking of putting red lights on it for Valentines Day (ha ha ha).
HOLIDAY TREATS:
It was so nice this year being in a new area & making new friends - so we were so surprised at how many of the ward members spoiled us with treats. We got a variety of things: a vinyl sign w/special story, a book, popcorn, cookies & brownies (yeah, like we need more sweets - ha ha).
CHRISTMAS EVE:
We had Andy's family come to our place for a Christmas Eve party - it was so much fun. We started with a lasagna dinner & then had the kids act out the Christmas story while Grandpa read the scriptures - it was so cute. They all dressed up: Kolby (Joseph), Ela & doll (Mary & baby Jesus), Kaleb - Marshall - Luke (Shepherds) & Keilana (Angel)......I will post pictures later, which Anna took for us. Then the kids opened their presents from Gma & Gpa Nielson and some from Aunt Debbie......they loved it......they would've been happy if that was it for Christmas - they are so spoiled (ha ha). Then the adults played a gift exchange game - I won some yummy treats - it was a great night!
CHRISTMAS DAY:
Of course I was up until 1am wrapping presents......I mean, helping Santa with presents (ha ha) & so, it was nice to wake up to Lana & Kolby still asleep. But then I was getting anxious & had to wake them up for presents. They started with stockings & loved the little toys & especially their new toothbrushes - Ariel, Shrek & Spongebob. They did great opening their presents by themselves & its 'priceless' seeing the looks on their faces. I love buying presents!! After breakfast, we played with their toys & then had lunch at Gma & Gpa Nielsons - it was delicious & then we played games. :D

I hope that everyone had a great holiday season!
