Cornbellys!

If you live near Thanksgiving Point - this is a MUST before Halloween!
We did quite a few things, but I wanted to share our favorites:



First of all, I am a big fan of this rocking chair & my cute kids!



Andy didn't get to ride one, but he really enjoyed watching Kaleb ride the bull!


Kolby LOVED the bouncy pillows......& the 2 clowns rolling on it!

Kaleb loves to be silly, so he loved posing with the fun boards.

Of course Keilana loved Pumpkin Princess Land.....but I guess she was too good to smile.

It was definitely a fun-filled day with my beautiful family!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Well-child Check-ups!

I am a mean Mommy!
First of all, as Lana & I are getting ready this morning, I asked her if she wants to go for a ride, and she says "Okay Mommy, I'll get my sweater". Then, I forgot to inform Kalebs teacher that I had to take him out of class early, so when we got to school to get him, he was missing out on P.E & getting new books for the week. Sorry Kaleb. He kept thanking me for picking him up though & excited to go on a ride......the last time we went on a ride was to a park. As we're driving to Provo I tried to keep them happy, but giving them goldfish & listening to their playlist on my ipod......it seemed to work well. Then we pulled up into the parking lot at the Doctors office & Kaleb says "Mom, Doctors?? No Mom, it hurts." I told them that it was just a check-up to see if they're growing big & strong, and that they won't be getting any shots today. Kaleb was a little nervous. Of course when we get in the waiting room & see the fish & 'Bolt' is playing, they are just fine. Then we're there for over 30 mins & the kids get impatient, so I call Andy to come & help, which I am sooo thankful for. The rest of the appointment went well..........

Kaleb has gained 10 pounds since his last check-up (ha ha......I swear he's not fat, just solid)

Lana even gained 7 pounds & hasn't gotten too much taller since last year (ha ha)

The kids were so brave, and then as they're getting their shoes & sweaters on, the nurse comes in.......we decided to give them flu mists. I know, no warning for the kids. Kaleb HATED it, but Lana was so brave & just sniffed it right up (should I be worried? ha ha). So, yes, I didn't lie, the kids weren't getting shots & any kind of owies, just a spray shoved up their nose, ha ha. I am so mean! Well at least they are protected again the swine flu, right?? (ha ha) I am so glad that I have had healthy kids all year.

Team Crush!

My little brother Michael plays in a football league team 'Crush'.

According to my family & the coach, he is a great player (yeah, we haven't been to any of his games). He was the Quarterback for a few games, but since the team is so small, he's had to play other positions & loves it.

Last night he had his first injury. A huge kid landed on Michael when he was tackled to the ground. My parents took him to the ER & the doctor says he's fine & just has a bruised rib, he just needs to rest & take pain pills (ha ha). The joys of football!

Who knows if he'll get better before his last game......next Saturday.

My brother Muimui (aka Crush Manager, ha ha) - far left & my brother Michael in the very back.
GO CRUSH!!!

GO COUGARS!!!!!

Lana & I are ready with our BYU gear - awaiting the game!
They're still doing pretty well this season, with only ONE loss (which brought them down quite a bit in the rankings). We are hopeful that they will continue to do great!



VERSUS

SAN DIEGO STATE

Up-to-date in ONE post!

Well, its ONLY been a few months since I've posted, so here's what we've been up to:

GRAHAM FAMILY REUNION!
(My mother-in-laws family)

It was a fun weekend.....we went swimming & had lunch at a park & had a BBQ at Dave & Annas place. We had quite a few family members missing, but can't wait to see everyone again.

UNCLE BILL'S GRAND OPENING!!


My Uncle is a mechanic & opened his new shop in Salt Lake......spread the word, he's really good!!

KALEB TURNED 6!!


What can I say?.......he was spoiled, ate cake & played with his new toys.

KOLBY'S INJURIES :(



Yip, our precious boy is in a class of BIG 4th graders, so he's been easy to pick on. In the first 3 weeks of school, he had been hurt 4 times & this one was the worst. Since we've met with the Principal, things have definitely been better. Awww, I just get sad again looking at this picture. A girl in his class reached over & scratched him for no reason, while he was eating his lunch.

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!



Do you guys have any idea how fun it is to go to an amusement park with NO KIDS?? Yeah, we went with NuSkin again this year to Lagoon & had the BEST time! We went to the Lion House in Salt Lake for dinner & then played all night!! (okay, just til 11pm) I am so grateful to be married to a wonderful guy who loves me & makes me soooo happy. I love you Andy!

KEILANA'S HAIRCUT!



Oh, this one wasn't PLANNED.....as I was in the shower, Lana found the scissors & thought it would be fun to chop all her hair on the right side of her face. Thank goodness for Cookie Cutters who made it look somewhat like a girl haircut (ha ha).




The Holas have been planning for a reunion for YEARS now, but there was never a good time. Now that Grandma has left us, so many of us got together. All of my Dads siblings came from all over the world & I got to meet so many cousins. Thank you Grandma for uniting the family again - we love & miss you!
