Happy Father's Day

It is Father's Day today. It has been raining for most of the day. I was able to sit on the porch for a minute with my hubby and watch the rain. It was nice. He was bbqing steaks for his Father's Day meal. What a great guy. I made 8 pies today. I made two chocolate, 2 cheesecakes, 2 baked coconut, and 2 chocolate chip cookie pies. I was trying to get them all done so I could take some to my dad and his co-workers but the chocolate chip cookie one didn't get done in time. So I took my dad and his friends three of them and have the rest of them here. I asked Tevita if he wanted a piece of pie for Father's Day. He said yes so I asked him what kind. He replied, "I'll take one of every kind!" I was just getting ready to cut the slices when I got a phone call from one of our friends in the ward asking if Tevita could help him go give a family a blessing. He said that he just got the call from this family asking for a blessing and wondered if Tevita could help. What a blessing for him! It made me think how lucky I am to have a husband that is able to go at a seconds notice to help a family in need. Tevita is such a great daddy and husband. We are so thankful to have him! And we are all so lucky to have our dads! Both Tevita and I have wonderful dads that we love so much! So to all those daddys out there, Happy Father's Day!!!
P.S. I don't have a picture of Fine on this computer so that is why there is just one of my dad. I will put one of up Fine as soon as I get it transferred to this computer.

Summer Fun

Just some summer fun!

Sipola's Program

The last week of school Sipola participated in the 2nd grade singing program. She did such a great job! The songs were so cute and we loved watching her! Good job Pola Bear! Ofa atu

Honor Student

The last week of school we were lucky to go watch our son get a certificate for being an honor student. There are requirements to achieve this and there were about 26 students in the 6th grade that got it. They had to be in the Silver Panther club twice and they have to maintain a GPA of 3.8. We are so proud of Brax and hope he continues down this road!! Love you Braxton!

Volleyball

I have been so horrible at blogging. But I need to get doing it more. Anyways, here are a few pictures from Lia's first volleyball season. She actually did one team in Richfield and one team in Monroe. She learned a lot and did a great job!

Football Camp

This last Saturday we hosted a football camp here in Monroe. We are trying to open up a program for troubled youth focusing on the Polynesian population. We are waiting for the public hearing to get approval but while we are waiting we have started fundraising. So we thought a football camp would be a great idea. It turned out great for our first one. We had two coaches from Utah State, one from Snow College, and one former one from SUU. They did such a great job and were so personable with the kids. We had a great turn out and hope to keep doing this every year.

Change

I used to be so good at blogging. I need to get better and I am going to try. I just hate to blog without pictures. Anyways, a lot has been going on at our house lately. In March Tevita lost his job. They told him they were letting him go because of conflict of interest. I say Whatever to them and move on! A few years back Tevita talked to me about his prayers and the answers he was receiving. He said that he felt very strongly that we needed to open a home for Polynesian youth. He said that he wants to help the youth so they don't get in so much trouble. He was also contacted by some people up north asking for some help. So we started working on it back then and have been working on it for a while now. Well, now we are in the last stages of getting everything finalized. It has been such a journey. But our little family has been so blessed. I think that him loosing his job has been probably the greatest blessing for our family. Don't get me wrong, we are struggling. We are so poor. We don't have even a dollar to our name right now. But spiritually our family is being so blessed. We have had so many spiritual experiences that have brought us closer to the Lord. We know that Heavenly Father is not going to leave us stranded, especially when we know that what we are doing is what He wanted us to do. So on this beautiful Sunday morning all we can do is thank our Heavenly Father for all that he blesses us with and pray that our program gets up and running quickly. Oh, and thanks to Dad, Justin, and Jaquel for all they do to help us!!! We will never be able to repay you for all that you do for us but please know how much we appreciate you!!!
