THANKSGIVING.......






















Can't believe it's that time of year already.The Holiday season has officially begun! Today, started off baking, cooking & cleaning getting ready for today's festivities at Kierstin's house...Jill & her family were there, my family as well, owen's family & also a couple of his high school classmates who were visiting, aunty pinkie & Kaohu and of course our close friend of the family.......Jonah.

Sooo much food and not enough time to devour it all, although we all surely tried... with our turkey, stuffing, mashed potato's, yams, massive side dishes and a variety of deserts, we took the party outside on kierstin's front lawn to rest & relax as we watched the sun set.

It was also Jaron & Kennan's 3rd birthday celebration as well, so we celebrated with cake, ballooons, ice cream and gifts!!!

With so much Grattitude & Humility that we've gained this past year, we look forward to a prosperous new year with growth, in so many directions.......I love my family & I'm Grateful of where I came from....my family means everything to me and I'm Thankful for my Loving parents and everything they've taught me........I AM TRULY BLESSED!!

FUNDRAISER FOR A DEAR FRIEND......







Anton, Fou & Tony have been practicing 3-4 times a week after school & on the weekends for a samoan dance group that they've been asked to be a part of. The purpose? a fundraiser event for a dear friend of ours who has been diagnosed for 2+ times with cancer. She simply cannot afford her chemothereapy, therefore this event is specifically to help her financially in anyway needed. We love her so much and are so happy that we have had the opportunity to meet her & her wonderful family.








Our 3 children danced for this event and I was soo very proud of them, they did an AWESOME job! I hope you can see & hear the video clearly. Love you Anton, Fou & Tony........

Soooo MUCH HAS HAPPENED!!!


The Clay Mountains

A small portion of our certification training class in Phoenix

CACTUS EVERYWHERE

CHEAP CHEAP GAS

Since I last wrote, we have been extremely busy........well, should I say we all have been very busy... I left for training for my U.S. Airways GSC & CRO certification for my new position at Hawaiian Airlines... so I flew to Phoenix, AZ last Sunday evening (nov. 8) and returned home on Thurs (nov.12th). It was a fun class & I met so many new people from U.S. Airways from LAX, Denver, & San Jose. I passed all of my tests with flying colors and enjoyed our instructor's way of teaching us..... especially being that this is my 1st job with the airlines, I found it quite interesting.

Flying benefits is what I will enjoy the most working for Hawaiian Airlines, especially that my family can fly!! Not only that, but we receive benefits from different companies all over the west coast....

During my stay there, I also had the chance to visit with our dear friend Germaine and her husband. She cooked up some serious delicious food. (she loves to cook).... I enjoyed every minute of my visit with her as she toured me around her gorgeous renovated home that has been a completed project for her & her hubby for quite some time... they're so proud of their hard work.

I couldn't believe how many cactus there were there.........(well i guess so, it is desert after all)...there were clay mountains everywhere, it was as if we were in playdough land...hehehe. I couldn't get over how cheap gas was and also food in the grocery store... something I miss so much!!

Tony has also been busy with work and I thank him so much for his hard work & dedication in caring for our family!! I love you honey!!

Ephraim will be visiting us for x-mas break and we cannot wait.. it's been 7 long months and we all miss him so much...all 4 of our children have been doing fantastic in school, church and extra cirricular activities..........we are so very proud of them.

With the holidays approaching rapidly, our family is planning some fun things to do involving travel. Maybe a trip outer island on our days off and a little shopping in between..... exciting exciting exciting.!

OUR NEW JOBS!!

With the economic decline that we're all experiencing in one way or another, we've had our family's share of ups & downs. Through our tested FAITH, OBEDIENCE and the certain POWER OF PRAYER, we have been tremendously blessed in many ways. For 6 months now, I have been trying to get on board with Hawaiian Airlines. Not only for secured income, but as we all know.............THE TRAVEL PERKS......WE CAN FLY!!! yipee.... I finally got hired a few days ago and I'm so excited to start. I have training in Pheonix, Arizona next week, then Honolulu.

Tony will now take over my full-time job here at the Resort......Our family has been so blessed!! We are GRATEFUL ............
