Growing up

I guess I just have to face it, my beautiful girls are growing up, whether I want them to, or not. Kiara turned 8yrs old on March 12 and Lani turned 11yrs old on March 19th. Kiara has chosen to be baptized and her baptism date will be on April 12, 2014. I am so proud of both girls. They are amazingly talented and so smart. They are the best kids in the whole world and help me so much. I am so thankful to be their Mom. My life was so empty before they were born. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for them. Lani and Kiara I love you both so much that my heart could burst with love for you both. Thank you so much for coming into my life and making me the happiest Mom in the world. Alofa Tele Atu <3 p="">

Saying goodbye to my beautiful Mom

The past four months have been extra hard for me because my dear Mom passed away on December 8, 2013. We were told that she was taken to the hospital for a check because she had declining blood pressure so they wanted to just make sure she was okay. The next time I talked to a nurse while on my way to St.George, I was told that she had gone into cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and that they were having a hard time reestablishing a heart-beat. It's funny how life is, we think it is never going to change one minute and the next our entire world can come crashing down on us. I miss my Mom today like she just barely left. It doesn't seem like it happened in December, seems like just yesterday. I am just so thankful that I always tried to make her last days on earth better and as happy as they could possibly be. Here are some pictures of some of the times I have cherished with her. I will never stop missing her beautiful smile...and her kisses and hugs. The only thing that helps me keep going is knowing that she is now out of pain and with her parents and siblings on the other side of the veil.
