May

 May 14th Mothers Day. I put our Primary Mothers Day video on facebook, it was so cute! I didn't have breakfast in bed cause we have early morning church and I didn't want to make a fuss. My honey and the kids prepared dinner. 

Leila asked Ben Ferguson to go to the Prom with her.

It was the Wedlings 1st Anniversary this month. Wow a year ago we had so much stress and fun with their weddings lol Tyrell and Alisa was on the 14th and Mina and Tanes on the 20th plus it was Tanes birthday as well. 

May 19 & 20th - Erana went to her friend Sawyers Birthday Friday afternoon.  Saturday we had Living Traditions down town. We had two shows our first one with Hiona and the next with Tausala. In the morning before the shows I went and picked up Leila's boutonniere for her Prom tonight.  She asked Ben Ferguson out, a cute boy from our ward, he's a year younger than her. She couldn't go out on her group activity because of the shows so she asked Ben to come see her perform but only to the Tausala show. The Hiona show was way awesome, we were on the main big stage and it was a good show. I regretted not having Jason and Ben come for the Hiona show, dang it!  Jason brought Ben, he brought him early so Leila and him could go and buy something to eat from the food trucks. We got yummy food, there were a lot of food trucks to choose from, we got Otai too. Later the girls performed for Tausala. The Hiona show I think would have been better for Ben to see, more modest lol. Oh well we had a nice time and then came back home so Leila and Ben could get ready for the Prom. I bought Leila's dress from the Goodwill it was about $7.  She looked so beautiful, she got Ben a boutonniere and then went and picked him up, they had a nice time together.  

Wednesday 24th went to our Seminary Graduation in church clothes when it was suppose to be casual lol They had ice-cream truck outside for the treat. I saw one of my naughty students there. I left after getting an ice-cream but the girls stayed to play games with Jayda Masina. Then the girls came home and told me that my naughty student caused trouble with Damian Rudolph and it involved the police. I was so annoyed that the next day I gave him Lunch Detention and Detention lol He kept on saying to me, are you punishing me for what I did last night. And I just acted like I didn't know what he was talking about lol Anyway the next day which is the last day of School, he got into trouble anyways cause he brought some kind of stink bomb to school - stupid!

Friday 26th, I went to Maioha's Birthday at the 'Sailors Boil Seafood' by Pares Market. We had yummy seafood food, my favorite was the Lotus Roots - I just kept eating them all! lol And we had fun singing Karaoke. Cher & her son Shaun, Jenni, Loni, Ali etc came. Shawn and I were in charge of the Karaoke. 

Wednesday 31st, we went to Kage's Graduation at SLCC. It was soooo crowded when we got there. We were up in the bleachers. We saw Tia Ta'ulu and sat next to her. Tia was doing her Cheeehooo's and she so loud at doing them. The lady in front of her lets just call her 'Karen' was annoyed at Tia for doing her Cheeehoos too close to her and standing her her seat? Like wth stupid lady lol Anyways after that I joined in on the Cheehoos and tried to be extremely loud like Tia to make the Lady annoyed lol Yes I'm petty like that hahaaa We could see Kage cause he was wearing Grandmas Korowai. We went out to eat with them at Sizzlers afterwards with Heathers parents.

April

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.
