What a fabulous job he did and great performances he even did the SPLITS great job Nohe'a I am so very PROUD of YOU!!!

Love Day

one thing is for sure we LOVE OUR HOLIDAYS in the 'Iongi Household. I was up at 3:30 am for work and hoped that I would get PTO for EMZ and that I did for 2hrs so on my way to ZUMBA I went with Morena and Ruby, caught about 35 min of ZUMBA and then rushed home to find out I had the remainder of the day off!!! I was super excited about that because then I would be able to make breakfast for my divas and father inlaw, so it was heart shaped french toast and eggs and sausage were on the menu and they LOVE IT!! thanks to Naite for helping Mommy out!!!

After we all got ready for the day the crafting began with some fun crafts from the dollar store, with a cookie decorating kit from Walmart and some home made chocolates. The girls have been really great with helping out and just LOVE having things to celebrate such a good HOLIDAY!!!It was always a goal of mine to instill in the girls my LOVE FOR HOLIDAYS so hopefully it will stick!! I wanted to especially celebrate Valentines because the girls are off track for a few weeks and so they celebrated the last day of school before they went off track.

Morena and I took Lu some lunch from Subway ( we are both on a diet lol) and he was very grateful for that!!!

Later that evening Lu returned home with flowers for all his ladies lol and we truly were excited about that too the girls were over the moon about it!! Overall it was a FABULOUS Valentines spent with my divas and my LOVED ONES!!!

New Beginnings

We have moved into a new ward and I have been called to serve in the YW!!! I love love love it!!!! I am with the Beehives and just love them!!! This past Sunday we had New Beginnings and it is crazy to think that my neice (Sinai's daughter) will be joining YW in May OMG how time has just flown by!!! It was a great turn out and great theme as well!!! I am truly grateful to work with the YW in our ward I just LOVE IT!!!

Triplets special Day!!!

thank goodness for pinterest I made these gumball machines and added some vinyl below is the poster that was made by Auntie T and below the poster were pictures that I made and painted with the divas on canvas

They diva trios special day finally arrived on the 4th day of February 2012. The morning started off for Lu and I at 5am sharp, we got ready and headed over to the church to decorate and set things up. It was a pretty hectic day but everything worked out!!!

We ended up having a surprise baptism at 9am before the divas baptism, no biggie right? Of course not lol. 10 till 10am people were showing up for the baptism and the other one was still going on, so then we ended up congregating to the chapel. I really didn't not realize how many people were there until I turned to Ruby and said Baby look at how many people love u guys. And as I turned to say this, I was overwhelmed with the LOVE and SUPPORT that I ended up in TEARS, tears of joy of course, but just to see all the family and friends and SUPPORT in the room was amazing, I hope the girls never forget their special day, it honestly looked like a stake baptism but it wasn't it was our ward baptism.

The program was absolutly AMAZING!!! it went as follows

Turning 8 is great!!!

I am seriously typing this in SHOCK because time surely flew by way too fast for the DIVAS to be turning 8 years old. We have been talking about this for the past 3 years because of all the cousins that they have had turn 8 and all the excitement and FUN that comes with turning 8!!!

The Divas have been asked several times on several different occasions who will be baptising them and for many of the several occasions they have resorted to MY DAD. This year they wanted three different people to do so, and well if nothing could break their Daddy's heart it would have been hearing they wanted other worthy priesthood holders to baptize them =( It must have been a phase and a short one for sure because now we are back to plan A and Daddy is baptising all three of them, when they were blessed as babies Daddy blessed Morena, Grandpa Vili blessed Ruby and Grandpa Sione blessed Melenaite ( named after each of their wives) So this is very SPECIAL because DADDY will be baptizing all three of you!!!!

We are so very proud of all three of you and hope and pray that the entire experience does not go by without you three realizing how blessed and love you all are!! Mommy and Daddy love you three so very MUCH!!!

Shopping Day with Gramma Syndie

Morena

Ruby

Melenaite

The divas to say rhe least are very loved by many, one in particular is their Grandma Syndie (my best friend Mandies Mom) Since the divas were born she has been there!!! For their 8th birthday she wanted to take them dress shopping, she knows how much I hate when she spends so she basically told me either you come with us and say nothing about the price or not come along at all lol, so obviously I chose to zip the lips and let her do her thing with the divas. The girls had such a great time and Gramma Syndie and I got a kick out of their fashion show.

After the dress shopping we went to Sizzlers for Lunch and met up with Lu, great food and great company. After lunch we went to Walmart to purchase some shoes to go with their outfits!! I know the girls will never forget that day and all the Fun they had!!!

What a FUN DAY we had!!!

Quick Trip to LAX

So I have only heard of this area in LAX called the fashion district and boy was I amazed!! For just one day Lu, My Mom and I went to LA to purchase material for the divas baptism, anyone that knows my Mom knows that she is great at sewing clothing and quilts etc. So this place is like Heaven to her.

The last time we went to LA I had a Zumba certification and so I did not get to see all the craziness that happens there!!! Again we were only in LA for the day so we went with a plan for material and some Korean blankets, Shopping with my hubby and my Mom is great because they are great at bargaining for the merchandise unlike myself who is such a big push over!! No really everywhere I went I didn't ask for a discount or a lower price, so I am pretty sure I was getting jipped lol well I know for a FACT that I was lol. It all was a blur because we went in with the things we were looking for and back out!!

On the way home we got first class and that was a real treat from all the running around I was grateful for it!! we did it was most definitely nice to relax!!!Crazy day and it really didn't feel like we even went it was such a QUICK TRIP!!! but it was all worth it!!! Thank goodness for flight benes!!!
