Saturday 1st - Went to Brookshire's 4th of July Breakfast at Winchester park. Wasn't as busy as the years past. But I did get to see the Sakamoto's, they had moved out of our ward and it was sad to see them go, I love them so much:( Well we had the usual eggs, bacon, pancakes, watermelon and drinks. We also got to go look at Mar's from the Astrologist group that were at the park too.
We had a Hiona show today in Sandy for the 30th Tongan Wards Anniversary. It was huge, not sure why us Maori's got asked to perform lol Anyways lots of Tongans were there doing their thang. Our show was good I think, the poi was new. Sheris tried to teach us the new poi her original way but some of the moves were to difficult and she had to change it. But I liked her original version better, Leila practiced it once and could do it lol
Wednesday 5th - Saturday 8th Girls had Stake Girls Camp in Heber. Jason got to go Thursday and stay there and help and then bring the girls back home.
The day the girls got back from Girls Camp we had a show with Hiona. The show was for Maioha's ward, thanking them for using their chapel to practice. It was a Luau, we had an awesome fun show and then ate their yummy food.
Leila lost her glasses on this day too.... she was positive she brought them home from girls camp and she couldn't remember if she had them at the show.
Her and I had eye appointments and got new glasses practically the same. Just the bands were different colors. She is now for sure my mini me lol
Friday 14th - We had a Hiona get together celebrating Matariki. We had yummy food and Karaoke and Pickle Ball at someone's chapel. I was in charge of the Karaoke again lol
Saturday 15th - I had signed the girls and I up to be hosts at the 'Old Tabernacle Exhibit'. It was in Taylorsville, but it also moves around to different venues. When we got their we were trained a tiny bit. We also knew what it was about because we came the Wednesday before and took the tour. It was so hot on that day and all the outside stuff was way hot and dry. I was glad that the girls and I were inside the chapel and didn't have to be hot outside. Especially the Ark of the Covenant room, that was like a sauna room. The Exhibit was cool though a replica of how the Tabernacle was in the Old Testament times. I sat outside the gym doors welcoming guests to go in and follow the blue arrows. The girls were inside at the Priests Clothing, they were given a card to read about it, and they could bear their testimony if they wanted to.
Tuesday 18th - We had another Hiona Show, this time for Jenni Atkinson's Relief Society. It was kinda like Maioha's show and we ate yummy food afterwards.
Went to practice with our Tausala Aiga for the Samoan Heritage Festival and we had a feed. The crew from Arizona was down to perform with us. My noodles didn't turn out the way that I wanted, so I went and bought water and watermelon. It was a good practice at Nive's chapel. Aunty Fina was there she looked good.
Thursday 20th & Friday 21st - Samoan Heritage Festival! The girls performed Thursday evening with Tausala younglings and then Leila performed Friday again. Jason came to both shows, we got Samoan doughnuts and Otai both days. Cameron from Hiona was the MC and he also sang, he was awesome! Thursday show Leila had wardrobe malfunctions with her red pareo but we learn from this, yup looked like a g-string lol But the girls were awesome, Leila was on fire both nights!!
Saturday 22nd - Tuesday 25th - Went on a little trip with our babies to Red Canyon, out Vernal way near Flaming Gorge. On the way there we stopped at our usual stops that we had done years ago with Tyrell, Mina and Jaxon. We ate a Chinese Buffet, it was good enough. I love Chinese food! We stayed the night at a cheap hotel in Vernal. Sunday we woke up to have the free hotel breaky. I had toast with pb and banana, a boiled egg and juice. Talked with some people that were from overseas. We went to church at 10am to the nearest ward in Vernal, it was nice.
Saturday 29th - Meg Ballards Wedding. Girls and I went to the wedding in Draper. I was telling the girls they wearing black and dark colors they should be wearing bright summer colors. And when we got to the wedding the bridesmaids and family were in black, so Erana who was wearing black fit in with them lol They had an ice-cream bar and lemonade. We sat with other church members and I gave Bro and Sis Ballard (The grandparents who were in our ward when we moved in) a big hug. Meg and her hubby did an old fashioned waltz dance.
Sunday 30th - Our Primary Presidency talked in Sacrament. My topic was to find an attribute my Primary kids have and talk about it. I chose 'Obedience'. Tiffany spoke first I think she chose 'love' and she mentioned the Primary kids in her talk and then Debbie spoke next and I think she chose 'kindness' cause she used the kindness chain. I was a little flustered cause I didn't have anything about my kids, only in the beginning when I mentioned that they are 'Obedient' lol Anyways we all gave awesome talks, I could've done better I think, but I was nervous. I gave experiences from my life and family.
