FUIMAONO FAMILY

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY  Iosefa Letoaimealelei Uilifoti Fuimaono!!! Born July 11, 2011 My handsome boy Sefa turned 5!!!  I felt so bad for him because we had to spend most of the day prepping for our road trip- getting the car aligned, packing bags, doing laundry, etc. On top of that, this was the first time he's actually asked or expected something for his birthday. He's never cared before, but I guess after going to several of his cousin's birthdays he started to catch on to the whole gift giving and party aspect. He woke up and asked me "are all my cousins coming?" and then later on "did you wrap presents for me?" aaawww....my poor bubs. After getting the car aligned and cleaned out, Aljay took him and Leila to the store and got him some little toys. We had to make a run up to Salt Lake so while we were on the road we stopped at 7/11 to get Sefa his honorary free slurpee :) When we got back, we asked him what he wanted to do and he s...

Looking back at my first couple of blogposts I can see that I really wasn't mentally focused. Wow. Not a surprise. I wrote a lot about the daily challenges and hardships of getting started. Which are real- no doubt- but also manageable. I don't think I've matured much mentally since those posts ahhaha but I'm getting better at not focusing on the negative and trying to focus on just getting it done. I don't kill myself over eating a box of oreos....I just try to make sure it doesn't happen again. Finding that ...

JULY 1-  Date Night and Fireworks:) I love date nights!!! These rare occasions are my favorite! Especially when it's freee and/or really low cost. We went to see a fine art show at the Provo Freedom Days Carnival and then walked around the festival playing a few carnival games. But it was so hot and everything was so overpriced we just got some drinks and then left for a drive down Provo canyon.  After our date we picked up the kids and headed to Carterville Park and watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks show with some friends. The firework show was junk but kids had a blast. It was a fun evening for sure. These are the only pics we took when we were leaving lol. JULY 4-  Happy Independence Day America! We decided to go watch the Freedom Days Parade on Monday and camped out Sunday evening. We had a lot of fun! Aljay and the Militia guys had saved spots, cooked food, and set up all the tents Sunday evening. I was at home with the girls and we joined...
