For those of you who have been following my blog, I have to appologize for not updating in what seems like forever!! It isn't for lack of things to put on here, that's for sure! It feels so wrong to not have posted in such a long time! Almost a month, I'm having withdrawls!!! haha!
I actually have had problems with my camera and getting pics that I have on my computer! Ugh! It is so maddening!
I guess I'll just have to fill you in on what has all happened lately.
Lani's Special Week
The week Lani went back to school after the Holiday break, she was "Kid of the Week". That means she was kind of honored for that entire week. She got to sit at the front of the class and be the teacher's special helper, she got to pick what happened at different times during that week and on Friday all the kids told her what they liked about her and she got to show a slide show of herself from birth up until now, telling about each one as they were shown.
The whole class had to guess details about Lani, her favorite color, favorite food, favorite movie, song, etc. At the end, Lani gave treats out to the whole class. What a fun day that was! Kiara and I went to school so that we could be there with her on her special day. What a wonderful way for a teacher to make her students feel loved and important!
A week later, Lani came home with a bound book full of well-wishes from her class-mates and they had all drawn pictures of Lani. It really made her feel loved! Thank you Mrs. Topham for all the extra time you take for my child, you truly are the best teacher ever!
Aryahna is here!!
This week has been quite eventful for my family. My little sister, Audrey was due to have her baby. On Sunday, I got a call informing me that she had gone to the hospital. I rushed down to StGeorge because she had requested I be there. I guess after being with her on the last two, she couldn't picture it without me and to tell the truth, I couldn't picture not being there!
The whole family was there, so it was kind of a party! You know us Polynesians, it's just not the same without food! The nurses could even smell it from their station! haha!
I got there at 5:00pm and the baby didn't get here until 9:46am on Monday! It was a long, sleepless, drawn out night and scarey too! Audrey wound up having some problems with her heart rate and right at the end, the baby was almost lost! It was very draining both physically and emotionally! I'm so glad everything turned out alright!
The baby was 8lbs, 2 oz and 21" long. She is a beautiful little curly haired baby named Aryahna Mary Ellen Sanders. She is so beautiful! I am so happy for Audrey and Charles! They finally have the little girl they've been anxiously waiting for!
I talked to Audrey the other day and she is doing well and really enjoying motherhood! She is going to be the best Mom!
Lani and Kiara can hardly wait for Aryahna to be old enough to come and play with them!
I took so many pictures at the hospital and someday, when I get this mess straightened out, I'll post them.
That's my update for now!

Awww...I LOVE the new babies. :)
One of Jakob's teacher did the same thing with her students. 'Star of the Week'. The kids got extra privileges, got to bring their favorite toy and also had a book from all of the other students stating what they liked about Jakob. Very cute.
Wow, Aryahna is such a pretty name. That's exciting for Audrey. It sounds like they live here in St. George? If so, then you'll be close enough to see them often. That'll be fun for you and your girls.
I know what you mean about computer problems. I'm sure glad to have Steven here, but when he leaves, I don't know what I'll do.
