General Conference Weekend, stayed home and watched Conference. Erana had gone to stay with Maya for the weekend. Sunday after General Conference we went to Beau and Tammy Barlow baby blessing in Alpine. Strantz was visiting from NZ. Scott and Heather had just gotten back from there the week before and brought us some goodies and more goodies from my Dad.
Thursday April 6th we went on vacation. We drove to St.George, on the way we stopped for ice-cream at Beaver. Not really impressed with their ice-cream selection, too much nuts and other things in it blech! We stayed at Christine's. Went thrift store shopping and through the car wash, got pizza from Dominoes. Dominoes Large pizza's didn't look LARGE at all.
Friday 7th we drove to Las Vegas and went straight to KPOP store. Leila bought her an expensive 'Treasure' stuff lol Got Mochi doughnuts and Korean corndogs and bakery stuff. We then checked into the 'Cancun Resort' and got ready for our 'New Edition' concert.
While coming into the T-Mobile Arena, a pango old man couldn't get his tickets up on his phone, so I was helping him. Then we went and found our seats, they were wrong because Jason specifically chose the isle and now we have middle seats? Found out that we were upgraded lol because we should've been higher up, but since they didn't sell out we were moved closer. There was sooo many pango people, the most pango people I've seen in my life. There was a pango guy who started off the concert I think his name was 'TANK' lol he was asking if he should take off his shirt and Erana yelled out, "No leave it on!" and the people in front of her heard her and was laughing. The concert was awesome, pango people breaking rules and smoking their nasty (marijuana), a pango girl named 'Tamara' was loud and had a croaky voice, she didn't have a seat and was standing in front of her group next to us. She was drunk or out of it, she came up to me and talked to me ... asked me if she could have my number, I said, "no" lol she also talked to Jay, she was nice though. Guy, Keith Sweat and New Edition sang lots of their awesome songs. Bobby Brown had gained the most weight out of all of them. We had fun and the girls loved it, they would stand and dance and sing, baby was funny lol After the concert we walked around a little and then came back to the Hotel. Jay and I had a hot tub.
Saturday 8th was a pool day for us. The weather was beautiful and hot. We ran into Richard Kennerly, he was with his family. Jay chatted with him later. The spot Jay chose for us, was not good, separate from the other 2 seats and a little windy. But we made the most of it and had the best time soaking up the sun. Jay and the girls had a swim in pool and then Jay and Leila went in the hot tub. We were getting hungry and decided to go to a Chinese all you can eat buffet. It had so much sushi selection, I got full on sushi lol Jay said that King Buffet was better. It was good, I like Chinese food.
Went to the strip afterwards to walk off our food. We took the tram to Bellagio and back from the Park MGM. Stopped at the Civic center mall or whatever that is in the middle tram stop and walked around a bit. Looked at the Bellagio flower display and also the fountains in the front.
Sunday April 9th we drove home, listened to church music on the way home. We stopped for ice-cream again but it's closed on Sundays. So we got a treat when we filled up on gas. We drove straight to Jared's house, cause everyone was there celebrating Easter Sunday. The little kiddies, grand nieces and nephews, Maya, Alessandra and Ariki hunted for eggs in the small back yard. I had given Leila and Erana their Easter bag of goodies the day we left for Vegas, so they could enjoy their treats for the weekend. We had yummy food and enjoyed our family.
Saturday April 15th went to Timpanogos Temple for the sealing of baby 'Tessa' to 'Joshua, Louisa and Josie'. The sealing was nice even we we got moved around, when we didn't have to lol It was a beautiful chilly day, cause we closer to the mountains. We ate at 'Close to my Heart', soups and salad etc I enjoyed sitting next to Uncle Jono and Aunty Louisa, they funny especially Uncle. Savannah showed up, I think it's been a couple of years since I last saw her, her face was reminding me of Julia (Juju).
Friday April 21st, Leila went on her Prom Activity was suppose to be the Zoo but the weather was rainy so they changed it to Gardner Village Escape room. Her date was Noah Brown he had asked her a while ago, by putting a message in one of the dozen doughnuts he got her. Then she replied with a cute 'Extra Gum' poster lol.
Saturday April 22nd was our Ward Day of Service, we ended up scrapping our neighbors home. While doing that Jay was being silly when we were playing the music, like a grandpa! Later that day Mina came over and helped Leila get ready for Prom. She wore Minas hand me down red lace dress and Mina did her make up. I went to pick up her boutonniere for Noah. I ordered it from Smith's but when I went to pick it up, it was expensive and I didn't like the look of it, so I left it there. I bought a bunch of cheap flowers and made a boutonniere myself. Noah came and we took photos, Leila put his boutonniere on.
Friday April 28th went to US Post Office to renew Jaxon and Leila's passports.
Sunday April 30th, it was the 5th Sunday. After Opening Exercises, I had Zach Horkan talk about serving the Sacrament. Then I had Jesse Justet be 'Jesus' again. He came in and we acted out 'Matthew 26'. Which was during the 'Last Supper' and he taught them the 'Sacrament'. Then Jesse acted out the 'Washing of the Apostles feet', but he only washed Lydia Ferguson's feet. Then Emma Brown talked about the Sacrament prayers. Afterwards we had Singing time. At the end of Primary before the kids left I gave the a box of grape juice and a slice of buttered Maori Bread.
