32 weeks

My mom bought the kids these really cute outfits awhile ago and while I was in Hawaii I found one that fit me, so I bought it and thought it would be cute to take some family photos with them. But they didn't like that idea too much, we couldn't get one with all 3 of us, so it turned into maternity pictures for me. :)

Here I am at 32 weeks, oh my how time has flown by. I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore but not quite sure if i'm ready to be a mother of 3!!! Yikes that scares me a bit. But I can't wait to meet my little one.

We have been having so much fun in Hawaii! My parents have been soooo great! I didn't even take pictures of half the things we have been doing but I still have a lot of them.

We went to Sea Life Park

Ate saimen
Went to the Polynesian Culture Center. My cousin Eden dances in the night show and she was GREAT! We got to see her after the show.

Leila and I in a traditional hale.
Visiting the island of Samoa............
We visited one of my good friends Lei, her son is one month older then Tale.

Went to the beach several times...........


The kids love being outside! Good thing the island breeze was sooo nice because I didn't mind being out there either.
Tale loved to do yard work.

We did so much while we were here. We will be going back to California soon, we will sure miss it here!! :(

San Diego

Okay back to our trip. We finally made it to California!!! Yahoo! What a trip! At least now we can say that we drove across the country. :)

When we got to California we were able to spend some time with my parents and my brothers. My parents flew up from Hawaii and we had a blast!

We ate a lot, laughed a lot and just enjoyed all being together.
In all the years that I lived in San Diego I never went to the San Diego fair which I guess is one of the biggest there is. We took the kids there and they had a blast. There was a petting zoo there and Leila was fearless she walked right up to all the animals and wanted to touch them. She even tried feeding them.
Tale on the other hand just wanted to admire them from afar, but he had so much fun on the rides. Of course he didn't want to go on any of them by himself and just about all of them pregnant women couldn't ride so Tahri took him. He wanted to go on this one sooo bad, I was surprised. He really liked it.
Poor Leila had to watch from the sidelines.

I was able to go on this one because it was so low key, Tale still loves his trains. More pool time!
Tale loved getting thrown in the air by his uncle. I was so surprised.

More Birthday

So this post is out of order too, but I wanted to put it up before it got too outdated. So we did another celebration for Leila's birthday on the 4th. we went to the beach with some of our cousins and it was soo nice. One of my cousins got to the beach early to save us a spot and put up tents and all kinds of other stuff to make it really comfortable for us, and then my other cousin brought steaks and mussels and made the best bbq I've had in a long time.

The beach we went to was perfect! The water was warm, it was shallow enough for the kids to play in and really calm.





My mom created a hello kitty theme for her birthday. It was so cute.
Leila loved everyone singing to her.The kids loved the cupcake and the rest of us love the chantilly haupia cake.
Final celebration! She loved her cupcake.

Next Stop

Las Vegas! While we were in Idaho we ran into some car trouble, just what we needed!!! So we were there a little longer then planned but we didn't mind. :) Our next stop was to Las Vegas before we finally ended our destination in California. The drive was long but not to bad. We stayed at a wonderful resort a timeshare Tahri's mom owns. We decided to spend the morning hanging at the pool and letting the kids get tired before our drive.

Tale liked the pool but it was a little too cold for him.
He loved laying on the cement because it was really warm. It was about 100 degrees there and Tahri took him to the hot tub and he didn't want to get out of it. This boy loves his hot water!
Leila liked the water for a little bit, but then she started getting tired, but we tried to keep her up as long as possible so that she would sleep in the car.

She had a lot of fun sitting on the edge of the pool with her feet in and walking around the pool talking to everyone.
They knocked out as soon as we put them in their chairs. It was nice for about an hour and a half.

Idaho

This post is a little out of order but oh well. We stopped in Idaho for about a week. We had so much fun visiting our family there. Tale loved having his cousins around to play with and we loved watching him interact with them. We also loved that the two older girls loved to watch our kids because we left them with them A LOT :)

Leila was fearless she hopped right on the horse with Quinn.

Tale got to help his dad mow the lawn, he had fun riding around in the mower.
We all went to the zoo one day, they semi enjoyed it. Either that or us parents were like ready to go ha!
Tale was afraid of the horses once they got close to him, so it took him awhile to get up on it, and he didn't last very long.
Tale also got to go riding on the motorcycle with his daddy, he loved that!

Me and my sisters watching the kids play at the zoo. Oh I miss them so much!Cute Leila girl.
All the Wally Molifua grandkids
It was so fun hanging out with everyone, we miss them so much already. It was so nice to go out to dinner alone, go to the movies, play tennis and always have babysitters. :) It was hard for us to leave.

A whole year!

Today my baby girl turned 1. I can hardly believe it! What a joy she is in our live and I feel sooo blessed to be her mom and witness her journey through life. I love seeing her grow and learn but at the same time I just want her to forever be my little girl.

We have celebrated quite a bit with her. Since Tahri wasn't going to be with us on her actual birthday we celebrated in California before we left with a pool party. Her first cake, she didn't really dive right into it like I thought she would.
The week of her birthday we started off by going to Seal Life park in Hawaii. She loved seeing all the fishes and wanted so bad to jump in the water with them.
They had this little play area that her and her brother loved running around in.
She LOVES birds right now, she wants to go outside to look for them first thing every morning. The next activity for her birthday week was going to the zoo. A flock of birds came right up to her and she just wanted to grab all of them.
We saw lots of birds and lots of other animals, but her favorite was the birds and this playground. She loved running around with all the other kids and following her brother around.
She loves sunglasses right now too, so her gigi bought her an outfit with matching glasses. This is her on her actual birthday. We started off by going to get her picture taken, then we went to a dinosaur exhibit at the mall where they had a train ride to see the exhibit, and then to Farrell's, this really cool ice-cream place where she got a sundae. Her second birthday treat. It was really cute when they sang to her she just smiled and clapped and tried to grab her ice-cream. And it was so cute to hear her brother sing too, he kept saying Happy You Leila Happy You. It was soo cute! I totally forgot my camera. ERRRRRRRRRRRR! But I took some with my mom's phone, but don't know how to transfer it. errr!
Then that night some of her cousins came over for another round of cake and ice-cream. She got a teddy bear and some really cute clothes, here she is walking around with her teddy bear. She couldn't stop kissing it and hugging it.
She dove right into this cake! Maybe she likes chocolate best. :)
And finally she couldn't handle anymore celebrating, she knocked out with her teddy after gigi cleaned her up of course. :)
Leila, you are such a beautiful, healthy, happy little girl and I can't believe you are mine! I wish I could explain what i'm feeling right now but I just don't have the words. My heart is just full of love and joy and I want to go and wake you up to give you kisses and see your beautiful smile. I really can't believe that it was a year ago that we welcomed you into our lives. It feels like you have been with us forever and have always been apart of our family. I hope you enjoyed your first year, and enjoy many more to come. I can't imagine my world without you. You are sooo precious to us, we love you so much. Happy 1st birthday my sweet girl!!!!
