Kids
Well, I got an email today and this was on it..."Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first. That somebody doesn't have five children." This got me thinking back to when I got pregnant with Lia (and her twin). I remember telling Tevita that I didn't think my heart was big enough to love the next kids as much as I loved Braxton. He told me that no matter how many kids we have, I will love them all just as much. Being a mom of 4 kids and 2 on the way I am finding myself asking so many questions. As I was in the Home Depot last night with 3 out of 4 of those kids throwing fits and arguing with each other and trying to argue with me I just kept wondering how am I going to do this with 2 more. My answer came as we were driving home. We were all talking and laughing and just enjoying each other. It is those times that I am looking forward to and I just have to pray for patience. Kids are going to be kids no matter what. All we can do is try to raise them the best that we can. We have to be good examples to our children. We are responsible for them and we have to teach them what is right. The trip home was fun. Coming home and spending time together was fun. Hearing Halamehi say our family scripture was awesome! Hearing Braxton say that he can't wait until the day that he can give his family a blessing was so tear jerking! Even though we have rough times and I find myself saying How am I going to do this, I know it is all worth it. I love my kids with all my heart and I know my heart is big enough to have 2 more join.

About Me
- Tevita and Jodi
- Tevita and I met 13 years ago in Provo Utah. What a cutie he was! In June we will have been married for 12 years. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long but yep, here we are coming up on 12. We have 5 beautiful children that keep us pretty busy. We also have 3 angel baby boys that we know we will be with after this life. We have so many different personalities in this house but there is one thing for sure...we love each other and are grateful for this family! What a great life!
