DAY#2

"A PICTURE OF SOMETHING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT....."

I can't live without my Eternal Companion. He makes me a better person each and every day. My weaknesses are his strengths, and I truly am grateful for ALL that he has done for me and for being the BEST DAD in the world. I love love love my Sioape!!!

My oldest Makasini Tanumia Fonua  is such a blessing in my life. She seems to amaze me sooo much as she tends to grow. If she knows I'm mad at her or yelling at her, she ALWAYS knows how to make me smile and laugh and stop me from yelling at her even more. She is sooo love-able and just ALWAYS puts a smile on dad and mom's face. I love her hugs and kisses, and I even love it when she sneaks into our room at night to sleep on our bed and scares the heck out of me....lol....I love my baby girl and I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT HER!!! 

My little FETI boy Siosiua Teiko Fonua. We just call him Teiko, and I just call him Teiks. My little cuddly fat bear.  My Teiks is growing way too fast for me. He's already teething and already saying MAMA....He can eat like crazy (just like his daddy) and he just loves to be held and cuddled. The doctor said boys need more loving when they're babies, and she was right. Teiks does need more loving and I guess that's he is a MAMA's BOY....I love my Teiko and I ALWAYS tend to give in when he cries and cries and no one will pick him up. He loves his sister and I'm sooo grateful for my little boy. I LOVE YOU TEIKS AND I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU EITHER!!

My Sisters and my Pa. I love my sisters, they are my best friends for  eternity. They always are there for especially My dad. My dad is my #1 Fan and will do anything (and I MEAN ANYTHING) to help us with whatever!!! My Dad is not perfect, but we are truely daddy's girls....I love my sisters, brothers, mom and dad and I cannot live without them either. They always are there for me as well, and I cannot see my life without them.  (I didn't have a picture of my whole family so I copy and pasted from my sis' page...lol)

I was going to make it short and simple for DAY #2 but I guessed wrong. One last thing, I cannot live without the GOSPEL. without the Gospel, I am nothing and My family is not an ETERNAL Family. I'm grateful for the Gospel and that FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER

Anger Never Solves Anything!!

So I have been having this anger towards my mom for awhile now. I can't seem to get over the fact that she's in Samoa and my dad is here in Utah. I just feel that she has abandoned my dad and that she doesn't even care anymore. I ALWAYS ALWAYS wonder why she left in the first place. All her grandchildren are here and her kids, and plus my dad is sick. It just makes me more angry because it makes my dad so sad and depressed that he can't be by his wife. My dad has been stressing so much and it makes even harder for my sister and bro in law to live with him. He's always in a bad mood, swearing and every time my mom calls he doesn't make him happy because she's ALWAYS asking for something. I just hate seeing my dad like this and hearing about his bad moods from my sister. I would've thought that by moving to a smaller location and smaller payment that things would be much easier, but its not even like that. I'm just so angry with my mom, I don't even want to talk to her or send her messages. My dad is wanting to go to Samoa to go live with my mom, but I'm so not for it. My dad does dialysis and has a lot of problems, and I so don't believe that Samoa is the answer to his problems. He needs to be here in the states where he can get the medical attention needed. I think it's so selfish of my mom to think this way. I'm ALWAYS thinking about the WHAT IFS.....

What if something happens to either one of them
What if something happens to my dad?
What if something happens while doing his dialysis?

UGH!!! so annoyed with everything. I pray that heavenly father will take away my anger and just forgive my mom and go with whatever decisions they make. I just felt like venting to someone and getting out my anger. I can't help but think about my dad and what will happen if he goes out there. I hope that my mom realizes soon what she is doing and hopefully make the decision of coming back. I do miss and love my mom don't get me wrong, I just don't support her decision in moving to Samoa and leaving my dad behind. I love my dad soooo much and I would just hate to see or hear anything happen to him.

GROWING TOO FAST FOR ME!!

I have been wanting to post a new blog, but every time I would start one, something would ALWAYS come up. so here is another attempt to write...lol.

Motherhood has been such a joy. It is the BEST and GREATEST feeling I have ever felt in my life, well next to marrying my best friend and eternal companion. I can't even explain how many times I have thought to myself that I can't believe I'm a mommy to two loving and beautiful kids. Sometimes, I just think about the past and wonder, how in the heck did I even get through the things I did, and TRUST ME you would think that I was lying if I told you...lol. What I do know and I do not lie, is that I know that Heavenly Father had a plan for me, to go through the trials and tribulations to be the mother and wife I am today.
I cannot explain the happiness I feel every time I see my kids. It's just AMAZING how fast my kids are growing. My oldest Makasini Tanumia Fonua named after her great grandmothers, she is just building into this funny character, In the picture above, I told her to smile and this is the face she gives me. Usually, when we say SMILE SINI she just tilts her head and gives us a big smile. My little Sini Beenie has a mind of her own. She loves to just grab the books and likes to come to mom n dad and just sit on our laps and have us read it. She has such a little attention span, that we only get through one page and she is already hopping off to grab another book...lol When we kneel down and pray, she's right there ready with her hands folded. She has basically learned on her own. How to get out of bed and come to mom n dad's, crawl down the stairs, and even walk. My Sini is just GROWING WAY TOO FAST FOR ME. Sooner or later Ill be sending her off to her very first day of school, and then to her very first prom, and yeah I don't really want to think about the next step....lol...the saying is soooo true CHERISH ALL THE LITTLE MOMENTS!!

As for my big boy Siosiua Teiko Fonua, named after his great grandpa, he is already growing way too fast and he's only 5 months. We went to his 4 month checkup with his doctor, and she straight said that he was above 99% of babies his age. She couldn't believe how big his feet and upper body were. She also said that he is way bigger than baby girl Sini when she was his age....lol. My lil feti boy is so opposite of Sini. Sini was just the most quietest baby ever. As for Teiko, my doctor said that boys need MORE LOVING. They cry for attention more, and the girls are more independent. IT IS SOOO TRUE. My Teiko just screams his head off if he doesn't see me or his dad. Dad will just leave him crying. My mother in law said that if baby is fed and changed, there's nothing wrong. He's just kangi fua (sorry for the spelling lol) I seem to ALWAYS give in. I love holding my humangeous boy. He already has the strongest grip ever, and he's already teething....yes TEETHING!!! Sini still only has like 6 teet, and here Teiko comes and he's already getting two...lol. It's funny because once he starts crying and he sees that a cartoon is on, he quickly turns his head. I have found that his favorite is MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE just like his sister and older cousin Dreysen. It's so funny, to see him just cry for attention. He makes the saddest face ever, but what baby doesn't...lol When I lay him down for a nap during the day, as soon as i put him down, he automatically looks towards the door. If he sees me or dad leave, he just starts screaming his head off. So I usually just put on primary songs, and then have to sneak out by crawling low so he doesn't see me...lol....and it works!! 

Teiko has already started turning over, and really likes lying on his stomach especially to watch his cartoons. He has already attempted to hold his own bottle, and get this. We have been trying for awhile to feed him the baby rice cereal and the jar foods. He wouldn't take any of it. So we told Mom and she said to just put a little bit of sugar. So I was like, oh no, my lil feti is gonna have a little sweet tooth...lol...so we went home and tried it and Teiko drank it dry...lol...no lie....after a couple of days of doing the sugar, we just did his rice milk without, and my little man just loves it now....lol

I still can't believe how FAST my kids are growing. I love my kids with ALL MY HEART and they are my EVERYTHING. The saying is sooo true..."CHERISH ALL THE LITTLE MOMENTS." I love you Teiko and Sini Gyrl!!

Missing My Handsome Nephews

I'm already missing them like crazy. Although I'm aunty Bully to Dre, I love my nephew like crazy. His character is unbelievable. He can remember any song that he listens to and any television show. He is such a hyper little boy and bounces from one wall to another. I LOVE YOU BUBBAH!! and my handsome newphew Zeezee is much calmer. He is also known as the vacuum cleaner. he can spot anything from anywhere...lol He looks just like my daughter sini and even cries like her. Sini and teiko are going to miss their cousins like CRAZY!! Don't be gone too long Sini and Teiko need their cousins!! Love you boys!!!

"Getting to know the Fonuas..."

I'm kind of new at this blogger thing, so I'm just trying to write whatever. My family is small, but we are still growing. I married Sioape Muakifolaha Fonua on August 16, 2008 for all time and eternity. ("2008 is gonna be great motto") and it sure was.  I love my husband "ALWAYS" and he's always there to comfort at times of need. I fell in love with him because of how spiritual he was and how he ALWAYS just made me laugh. I could never get mad, because he's such a teaser and always putting a big smile on my face. Sioape is just that kind of person everyone wants to be around and just has that personality thats contagious. If you know his FONUA side, you will know that they are the LOUDEST but FUNNEST group of people ever. "I Love my Fonua side!!" Our baby girl Makasini Tanumia Fonua was born June 5, 2009 at 9.2 lbs and 22 inches. She is our little princess of the house. She walks everywhere and just loves EVERYONE especially boys...lol...she is growing way too fast for us. She brings smiles to my face ALL the time and I'm just loving it. She cannot sit or sleep in one position for more than a couple of minutes. We love our our little princess. Our baby boy Siosiua Teiko Fonua was born on March 30, 2010. Our lil' handsome teiko is such a BIG BIG boy. Like father Like son...NBFR....He needs a little more love, but I guess that's how it is with having boys. I guess that's why they call them MAMA'S BOYS. I love my lil handsome Teiko. He can eat like he's already grown, and he can scream like no other. He's my little white boy because of how fair his skin is. We took him into his 4 month appointment and he is in the 99 percentile of kids his age. Let's just say he's gonna be my little football player. I love my family and I love being a MOTHER and WIFE.
