Time for some family updates.....lets shall...lets shallllll!!!! First...   I need to back it up to the end of February when we were able to attend the baby blessing of Owen Mataio Scanlan! Look at this beautiful family below!!!! Jaliz and Chelsea Scanlan have been our friends since our single days college days, going into our married college days, and then post college days as neighbors in Hauula. This little miracle child was such a blessing for their family and we were so happy that we could be there for his blessing!!! We had such a great time seeing their beautiful family!  That same night we got to have FHE with the Lealaitafea/Sagato/Fuimaono aiga. It was such a fun family filled day! *of course I didn't take any pics cuz i'm useless with my useless camera lol #workingonit #oneday #paparazzistatus Now. .. bringing it back to March family news and updates... March started off on a sad note with the passing of Mama Metuli. It especially hit hard for Aljay. ...

March 22, 2015- My first born turned 5. ( What the heck!!!! ) My little Leila is growing up toooooooo fast!!!!! Leila Tauaneai Fuimaono Earthly debut- March 22, 2010 This post is just for her.  So here's 5 things about her that make her so wonderful... She is smart. She asks a lot of questions.

Mama Metuli ('Mama') is the only great grandparent Leila, Iosefa, and Viiga have met in this earthly life. This is one of her favorite scriptures. She had this scripture memorized and made it a part of all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren's lives. Even now it is one of the first scriptures that our children are learning. On Friday March 7, 2015 she passed away. After almost a week of hospitalization her mortal body could no longer sustain her. We got a call Friday morning just as I was getting up to go to work. I returned from work to a very heartbroken husband who was using every bit of strength to keep himself pulled together. This was the first time someone so dear to his heart had passed away. Luckily Aljay was able to take the weekend to truly mourn and reflect on his memories with Mama. In the days following her passing, we were able to find comfort through family, friends, and sharing stories and experiences of Mama. The Tafiti cousins g...

I watch makeup tutorials allllll the time on the magical youtube.   product reviews first impressions products under $10 products under $20 makeup tips and tricks Mommy makeup 5 minute makeup summer looks winter looks how to- perfect brows 'no makeup' makeup it goes on for days.... and then of course it branches out into skincare routine natural skincare products best of the drugstore hair tutorials hair cuts how to find your face shape the right cut for your face ..... etc etc  etc  ................................................................................................ So naturally when we were stuck in doors and had exhausted all other kid friendly "indoor" activities  and had two rambunctious pre-schoolers asking for more things to do, we busted out the  little makeup box and put those tutorials into practice.
