Matekitonga's First Day of Nursery! 18 months old

Tonga's first day of Nursery today! I was a little bit worried because Sam has been teaching him how to hit for months. He did really good, a little sharing toy moments...but better than I thought. It's kinda sad for me, my baby gone to class...what should I do?

Kids getting ready for the first day of school!

Cake for Auntie Jennie's Birthday!

Malia picked out a cake for Jennie, she skipped town on us...so the kids were way excited to have some! Thank you Jennie...hope you had a great birthday!

Go Utes! Go Cougars! Go Football!

Makafefie and Malia were so excited to go to their first day of pre-school. They go twice a week and love it. Maka is the big brother, protecting Malia from everyone...showing her what to do. What a good little helper. Maka already can write his name Maka and is now working on the rest...fefie. I think by the end of this year he should be pretty close. Malia can write the letter M...she thinks that is her name, she will soon learn much more. The first day was so sad, poor Tonga was crying...wanting to come with his big sister and big brother to school. Hope it doesn't go this way everyday!

Our visit with our cousins!

Maka and Caden having so much fun in the water. They were having such a blast playing together.

Malia and Brooklyn hanging out at the girl party at Auntie Kara's House. She made the party so much fun and loved playing with Brooklyn on her visit to Utah.

Malia at her last day of Dance class!

Malia at her last day of class for the summer. Tonga wanted to dance with her and the other little girlfriends. He was so excited to watch! So proud of her! She loves her dance teacher so much, and can't wait to have class start again!

Daddy and his boys...Makafefie and Matekitonga! They love hanging out and watching football...go BYU and U of U!

Camping at Bear Lake

Mom and the kids set up with our tent, wow what a fun thing! Thanks to all my brothers and sisters for the help to make it fun, help with the kids while Sam was at home and work. Here is our Mr. Tonga! What a cute boy! He loved the sand and playing in the water!

We went to these caves by Bear Lake, it was fun but a workout and with 3 little ones...crazy! They liked it until they got tired...so we headed back. Hanging out with all their cousins.

Our Family Garden

Pumpkins for Halloween!

Garden from the back!

Tonga with our first garden veggies!

We started our first garden in May! It's been so much fun watching the kids see things grow. They were out there everyday helping mom pull weeds. Tonga is a great picker...even when things aren't ready to be picked, what a good helper.
