The 3 Tongan Tiger

I have been meaning to post pictures of my kids so that those that we have not seenus in awhile can see how big they've grown and what they're interested in. I will start off with Sage, he is now 9 and it the 4th grade. He loves to learn about dinosaurs, lockness monster and other creatures. He loves to read his Bionicle comic books, that come in the mail once a month, his reading has taken off because he enjoys what he 's reading.He also loves to draw. He loves to play soccer and want's to learn to play Ruby when he's a liitle older. He loves to watch movies and listen to music. He wants to be an engineer when he grows up.

This is Zamera she is 8 and was baptized a member of the church of JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS, in August it was a neat experience, she was so happy that day, She looked beatiful in her white dress. Zamera loves to paly with her friends and loves her little sister. she loves to listen to music from the High school musical series, Hannah Montana, Camp Rock & other disney shows , she loves to jumprope and is our peacemaker

This is Sequoia she is the youngest of the 3 she is 6 and is the Sassiest! She is also just as sweet! She LOVES to paint her fingernails and toesnails, and will do any ones if they'll let her and she is dang good! she is a perfectionist, she is all girl. She loves to sing and dance, She love to draw, cut things out. She loves her big sister. She loves babies and loves to play with them.She will make a good momsome day.

Here are a few more pictures of the kids some are individual and some are to gether. I am so greatful for my children they have taught me so much. Each one is a very special spirit. I wouldn't trade them for anything. They love each other and protect each other, and yes there are days when they fight and are mean to each other but it doesn't last for very long and they forgive each other and move on.

This Sage putting his building skills to work at family camp with is cousin Tanner. They did a great job!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY MOM

On Wednesday, November 5 2008 my sisters and brothers thru a surprise birthday party for my mom she is turning 70. My sister Michelle was the party planner, she does a great job at planning all of our family camp outs and other family get togethers. She suggested that we pay for my sister Patrice to stop here in Utah on her way back home to Orlando, from Oregon. We all thought that would be great, because we all wanted to see Patrice, and her 2 beautiful girls Ameilia and Bree that we have only seen in pictures, Michelle had another surprise up her sleeve, my oldest sister Esther and her daughter Jenny came up from Arizona, It was great to see them. So we had my moms cousin Rene set her up that she would like to take my mom out to dinner for her birthday, We had the party at The Pizza Factory in Provo, we had an all you can eat pizza and salad bar with bread twists and drinks. There was a great turnout 10 of 13 children were there, 16 of 34 grand kids, 1 of 5 greatgrand children were there, cousins, sister- inlaws and friends all came to celebrate an amazing woman. Who is my greatest role model, someone of great strength, wisdom, faith. I have the most amzing mother in the world. She has done so much for me, I could never thank her enough for all that she does for me and my family. We had a great evening of catching up on family and friends. Here are some pictures from thath night I'll post more after i get other from other family members.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF LAYNEE LEIGH HANSEN

I want to share an experience of faith that my niece Marijo and her husband made in behalf of there sweet baby girl who is an agel that has taught my whole family a lesson in faith and eternal families. This is Laynee Leigh Hansen she was a healthy baby when she was born. when she was 3 weeks she got sick with a cold that was lingering longer than they thought it should, they took her to the Dr. and after many tests to check if it was her heart,they found that her heart was perfectly formed but that a virus had attacked her heart. She started to do alot better and they took her home. When she was 6 mo old she took a turn for the worse, the Dr. wanted to fly my niece and Laynee to California to wait for a heart transplant



After much prayer, fasting and Laynee having many blessings, my niece and her husband went to the temple.The humble parents told the Dr.'s that they would not be doing the transplant, they didn't feel that she would survive the surgery and quality of life would be poor. I personally couldn't understand this, I remember that when my beautiful Zamera was born, she was really sick. I prayed like I had never prayed before that My Heavenly Father would make my daughter whole again. I was ready to do whatever it took to make her live, I thank my Heavenly Father for making her whole again. So after my niece and her husband told the Dr.'s no, they told her that they were being foolish and that they would be taking Laynee home to die, they did and made the most of the time they had with Laynee. My mom had made a quilt of heart and took it to her, 2 weeks ago today my mom got home from visiting them in Joesph City, AZ The next day Laynee Leigh Hansen passed away at her Dr.'s office. I never got to see her in person but, she has forever touch my heart.
You would never know that she was sick baby




This is Laynee with her Big sister Elle

DISNEYLAND

On October 23 I went Disneyland with friends from work. We had alot of fun. I was really excited to go because I haven't been since 1995, when I went with my family for the first before my mission. The only thing that made me sad is that my kids have never been. I will take them the first chance I get. Disneyland was all decorated for HALLOWEEN it was so cute to see all the decorations. Disneyland was great, California Adventure was also alot of fun. A lady that I work with has a son that is an attorney in california and the firm that he works for are members of CLUB 33 which is a private club at disneyland, so we got are tickets that way. Here are some pitcture from the trip
