STUDLIEST 9 YEAR OLD (NEXT WEEK) IN THE WORLD

IT'S A GIRL - VIMAHI GIRL NUMBER 3

Happy 10 year Anniversary - Trip to Mazatlan

A great trip to a beautiful paradise!!!! We needed the break and the time together. Vili and I are still in love after 10 years (12 if you count the dating years). We had a great time.



Nikola and KC Peisley met us half way through our trip. We had a really nice time "hanging" with them. Besides getting the "boot" at this lovely Pueblo Bonita time share presentation and NOT receiving any gifts, the rest of the trip was smooth sailing.



Always looking on the fence for the iguanas.



KC and Vili have become good but goofy friends. KC happens to be our bishop so I'm surprised that he still wants to hang with us - - - -
We laughed for a whole day because the deep sea fishing trip was such a BUMMER. Vili thought he was the sea master until he paid $100.00 for 1/2 day and spent the whole time vomiting off the front of the boat. KC twirled in his chair and ate a yummy ham sandwich. They got one bite - from a giant wave!!! They failed to take pictures of the whole adventure!!




Beautiful sunsets



SO IN LOVE - - SO IN LOVE

Turtle Camp

A favorite spot in Mazatlan - - the turtle reserve: TURTLE CAMP - in Estrella del Mar. Rescuing sea turtles and rehabilitating them until old enough/big enough to survive. I like to check on them every day. I got to most days.

THE HOT DATE

We had a date to remember while in Mazatlan. We went to the infamous clubhouse. It is my all-time favorite place to eat. LOVE IT. Friday nights they have live entertainment. I'm always a fan of good talent

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I was just made aware that some don't know our big - grand - surprising news!!! Baby number 4 is on HIS?? way - - -

Funny thing is that we were done with Tasha. I'm to old. Tasha is still a baby at only 20 months - I really don't need another??

I told dad that apparently some baby wants me!!! Pray that all goes well - - we want a healthy one

Taekwondo State Championships

This is Jonah's Sparring, fighting segment. He got a second place.


He had a tough fight - - love the pads and helmet: STORM TROOPER


Tough kicks. He got injured but he continued. We were so proud.



Jonah and his Master. Getting some good tips

Valentines day

My cutie Tasha - all dressed up. You have to notice the headband. She decided it was a cute necklace and there was no changing her mind. Love the winks. I think she thinks that this is what you do EVERYTIME the camera comes out


Two cutie girls - - Red and pink, looking good. Charlise always tries to take care of Tasha. Tasha is always a little rebellious and abusive to her sister. Notice the hand in the diaper. Tasha has had a rough couple months of this. CONSTANTLY!! Mom doesn't like it one bit

Tasha's Newest Tricks

2009 - We are a happy family

What is that title??? umas and sasas???

A LITTLE REFRESHER - - -
Vimahi's sasas and umas - pronounced (sawsaws) and (oomas). What the heck is that? We have to say that our family is all about these two Poly words. We like? spanks (sasas) and kisses (umas). We go back and forth between the two - - kissing and loving then frustrated and threatening spanks!!! With Vili working hard and being begged to play every sport by everyone: and 3 crazy kids (Jonah 8, Charlise 5, and baby Tasha - now 18 months and crazier than ever) - - things are hectic.
