Summer almost Over :(

I can't believe it, summer seems like it just got here, but it is starting to cool down now, school is back in session and well fall is right around the cornor, so it is almost over. boo! So we are trying to enjoy what days we have left. Tahri has been playing a lot of tennis lately, sadly I've been feeling sick again, so I haven't always been up to it, but this past weekend we got together with some of the family to bbq and go boating. It was a lot of fun and a pretty good day to go. We did some tubing and some skiing. I went skiing and that was probably a stupid move. Afterwards my back was sore and I was scared at all the wipeouts I did. I guess I didn't think that maybe a pregnant woman with hardly any skiing experience should be water skiing. ha! But it was a fun day and hopefully there are still a few more boating trips before the summer is over.

Me and Chanel. She wasn't a big fan of the water but she is a great swimmer, she was glued to me while we were on the boat, and when i went skiing she was crying for people to save me. she was sooo cute.

Tahri, Kira and Mek went for a dip while i Imari and I went skiing.

Imari, he had to make tubing more interesting.

For my mom.........

Okay this picture is for my mom. She is sooo awesome and I sooo wish she was closer to me at this time. She sent me a box full of goodies a couple of weeks ago. She is sooo excited for her first grandchild as we all are. She sent me like 6-7 different shirts that can fit over my growing belly and so many cute baby clothes. We don't even know what i'm having yet but I told her I felt like i was having a girl and she sent the cutest things!!!!! I'm about 16 weeks in this photo, my mom has been asking about my progression so i thought i would take a picture in one of the shirts she bought me. I'm starting to get a bump going on but i still just look fat and not pregnant. My face is getting fat and i don't think i'm going to be able to fit in this shirt for very much longer, because well the top is going to be too small in a few weeks if you know what i mean? ha! But thanks mom for all the goodies, miss you so much right now and can't wait for you to be with me soon. Hopefully soon i'll start to look pregnant and not just like i have a fat stomach. :)

Tennis Team!

Lanayia, Kira and I played in a women's 4.0 tennis league this spring. This was the 2nd year for kira and I and the 6th or 8th year for lanayia, but it was the first time for all us to make it to Boise. Our tennis team went 8-1 so we were crowned conference champions. With that we were able to go to Boise to play in the district tournament. Our team was awesome this year. But we didn't do so well in Boise. It was miserably hot, and a lot of us just couldn't play all that well in the heat, and i think we were all a little nervous. Lanayia didn't get to play because she is way to pregnant so we did miss one of our best players out there too. I think I was going to pass out in my match. I was sooo hot, plus i was a bit out of shape. ha! But next year or whenever we make it again, i think i can only do the morning matches.

I took my camera with me but I didn't take any pictures until the last day. loser huh? Most of the woman left after the last match but we decided to stay another night and just relax. So i only got a picture of the ones that stayed which were us three, Lori, and mom (who came to watch us play, sooo nice).

Tennis was a lot of fun!!!!

Last Luau

One of the last luau's we did this summer was for a company party. This party was HUGE. they probably had about 2,000 people there. It was held on the fair grounds in Blackfoot and they had so many different things to do for adults and children. They had a buffet that was open all day, a ice-cream booths all over the fair grounds of all different kinds. They had bouncing blow up things for the kids, cotton candy and shave ice stations, face painting, bingo and sooo much more. i didn't even get to half of the festivities. We performed twice in the lunch area. It was soo hot but it was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast!!! My photographer was too hot to venture out of the tent so there are only pictures of the performance.

Outdoor Activities

It seems like it took summer forever to get here. We had snow in June can you believe that? i guess most people in Idaho were not surprised by it at all. But I just couldn't wait to finally go outside without a jacket. I always look forward to summer because i love doing summer activities, but for some reason we haven't done too much of it lately. Everyone is travelling except us. BOO! ha! But I found some pictures of when we use to go out and do stuff. Tomorrow is a day off from work. Our campus celebrates Pioneer Day, so we will be closed. YES! i love days off! :) Hopefully tomorrow we can get out and do some of the fun stuff we use to do during the summer. Especially before I start to get too big. :) And especially since we live like 2 blocks from Rigby Lake.

This is Tahri on a little hike we did in Arizona. It was a nice hard hike.

The 4th

This year for the 4th we didn't do much. We moved into our new place on the 2nd, so we spent a lot of the 4th trying to get organized. It was pretty tough because I was sooo tired and not feeling very good. But that night we met up with the family at the River and watched the fireworks. It was a beautiful night and the fireworks were good. We ordered take out from applebees, and I would not recommend getting take out. The food was all soggy by the time we go to our little area, it just wasn't as good.

Tahri and I waiting for the fireworks to start. i remember thinking none of my pants fit me so i had to wear a dress. hahaha, i was having a fat pregnant day and i think i was only like 12 weeks here. ha!

Roy came to visit Z for graduation and stayed and hung out for awhile. Roy, Mek, Imari, and Kira trying to get into the pic.

Summer

Last summer our little family here started a Polynesian dancing group. It is a small group right now that only consist of our family members, but slowly we are having people from the community join in. We were really busy last summer performing for graduations, ward parties, weddings, reunions and other celebrations, and this summer we have another packed schedule. It has been a little hard on us girls because we are all pregnant right now and especially for me fitting into the costumes is getting tougher and tougher. ha! I shouldn't have tried to make them so tight in the beginning. :) But here are a couple of pictures from last summer, i'll post some of this summer when i download it. It is a little harder getting pictures now because almost everyone is dancing now and Tahri doesn't come as often to the shows. But i'll try to get some of this year.


The So'oto family came down to visit after Vic's game and helped out with the luau. Picture of Lanayia, Checka, Kira and lil Vic in the background.
