TUAILEVA FAMILY REUNION 2011

The Family (minus James and Andelyn)

Jon, Jett and I

Mya and Cy

Jon and Jojo
Every other year we have a Tuaileva family reunion,,,,This year it was in Utah so we were the host. It's hard to do one every year cuz their are SO many in this family...I think Jon said he has something like 89 First cousins! Ya it a ton plus now most of the fave a grip of kids themselves. It was fun to see everyone who came from LA and Tonga. These guys sure know how to party, they are so crazy but SO much fun. Jon's dad has 12 siblings. We had a fun day at the park playing games and letting the kids play together. Can't  wait until the next reunion:)

Cy  loved  the princess  just as much as Mya LOL

CC  loved  the bike Mya got from the Hayward family and uncle Jojo she didn't want to get off ha ha

Fun princess party
I can not believe that Mya is 3 already time is going too fast. She had such a fun day, we had family over and we had a blow up slide and Princess Ariel came and played games and sang with the kids. She was in heaven with all the attention on her. She is my funny girl, she already tells me what she is going to wear, how her hair is to be done and what shoes she is wearing! She is for sure a princess, I guess this is what happens when you are the only girl! She is spunky but we would not have it any other way. She had so much fun on her birthday she asked if everyday can be her birthday! I hope she knows that she is not getting a party like that again.LOL We may have put the expectations a little too high. She was happy her cousins came and shared the day with her. We are so luck to have such a little sweetheart to spoil. Happy Birthday Mya Loni we love you, you make our days so much more complete.

Work Trip!!!

We had an opportunity to go with Jon on a trip for work. We flew into Atlanta and stayed the night. Mya was so excited to go on Daddy's plane as she called it. I was thinking If daddy had a plane I sure as heak would not be in coach LOL. She does not quite understand what her dad is doing when he is gone she just thinks he flys on an airplane and stays in hotels and watches TV. The flight to Atlanta was really good the kids did great, I was exhausted and ready to get to our hotel to spend the night.


Mya, Jett, and I in the ATL airport


Mya was so excited to fly!!

The next day we got up early so we could get as many hours as we could in driving. We wanted to make it to New Jersey. This is a big peach we was on our way our of Georgia.The kids did a great job in the car we drove 12 hours this day and they didn't even cry until like the last 20 min or so i was so amazed at how good they did. 


Here is our shoffer:)


So on our way our of west Virginia we were at a complete stop for like at least 45 min, they closed down the freeway for the life flight helicopters to land and take people to the hospital 3 of them. It was such a bad wreak I am doubt full if anyone survived.


So our plans of driving to New Jersey changed but we made it to Hersey PA, Loni was there for work and our hotels were right across the street from each other.:)


The next day we drove to New Jersey, it was a % hour drive with traffic. I forgot about that east coast traffic it's horrible. When we got there we had to go to the mall where Jon was going to be working the next week. Paramus mall. It was in the same area we were at when we moved there for a summer a couple of years ago. We use to go to this mall all the time i LOVE it!! It brought back a ton of memories, I loved NJ I missed living out there.  I wish we could have stayed a few more days out there and visit all the places we use to go to out there.


While in NJ we stopped by our friends house to say hello. Joumana and the kids are always good to us when we go out there. You cant see but this is a spring less tramp, it's really cool. I wish we could have stayed a few days to hang out with them they are so much fun.


this is me with an over sized ruler and paint brush that's in Joumana's basement, My kids love her basement it's like a kids wonderland.  Mya LOVED all the doll houses and movie theaters and dolls there were to play with.


The next day we did a few things in NJ and NYC. First stop Carlos Bakery. We waited in line for 45 min and the line did not move. I was disappointed but I want to go to the city so we could do other things so we decided not to wait to go inside. I really wanted to try a canolli:(






Mya was so happy in the city!! she was striking poses all over the place

Jon and Jett at our final destination BOSTON!!! This is Jon's Mini Me They are identical


We were at a mall just outside of Boston and we decided to get Mya a Build a bear, she chose a cat and she named her Heart Tuaileva

She Loved that thing and wanted every single clothing and shoes for it


Here we are eating at the cheesecakes factory in the Boston area, Jon was going to be working here in a few days. We always love to eat here it's so yummy


Jett boy and I eating:)


we drove to the shore and mya was expecting the beach (like Hawaii) it was nothing like that but she still like it. It was a little cold and rainy But they did have some beautiful beach homes.




Final stop downtown Boston, I was flying out later that afternoon we wanted to see some sights, well I wanted to do the duck tours but it was rainy windy and cold so we just drove around the city and saw a few thing like CHEERS!



 


later that day I flew home with the kids all by myself, it was HORRIBLE! on mothers day and Jett would not sleep and my normally happy baby was a monster crying I was humiliated. I was doing everything I possible could to get him to stop everyone was looking at me I was fed up! Finally after our layover in Phoenix both kids fell asleep, I was in the back of the plane so i had to wait for everyone to get off the plane then I took Jett to the stroller with my bags then had to carry Mya and push the stroller at the same time down to get our suitcases. It was a very long day my arms were so tired, people were just giving me that look like poor thing, one lady said to me " what a way to spend mothers day" she was right. I was so ready for bed thank goodness my in laws were there to help with getting my luggage and drive me home. I was a fun trip even with everything I had to do, it was good to spend time with Jon and a bonus the trip was free!! minus the shopping I did in NYC lol

Jett is 6 months





So I guess I can't say I jsut had a baby LOL i keep thinking I just had him but he is already 6 months??? He is such a cute baby and a GREAT baby, He sleeps from about 8-4 or 5 am and then goes back to about 8 or 9 he takes long naps and is content with most anything. He just started rolling over and starting to sit up by him self. He is still a little wobbly I have cut his hair many of times and it just keeps growing out of control. He loves his siblings, Mya can make him laugh like no other and he loves to laugh at her and pull her hair anytime  she gets too close, I laugh cuz she bugs the crap out of him sometimes ha ha. He is very ticklish and laughs so hard when I tickle him(LOVE IT) he also absolutely love the BATH. He is such a sweet heart and I love him so much. He fits in just great with out hectic life we have so easy going. He is really a mini Jon, He is Identical to him same legs, butt LOL, nose, hair, eyes.....seriously EVERYTHING!

JoJo turns 9!!



Mya dresses him and made him dance with her, he is such a good brother
JoJo is 9 I love having my boys so close together, YES they fight and can drive me nuts but when I am not really looking or paying attention the are the best of Friends. They actually both had the exact same due date go figure, they are complete opposite. JoJo is such a sweet biy he is always concerned about his younger siblings and making sure that they are OK, he helps me out with most everything. He has a great birthday, we took him to pizza factory for his birthday and he got a pizza in the shape of the age he turned. I had ordered dessert for the boys we took and no lie it was gone in 2 mins flat!!!! Boys are too funny,  we love you JoJo Happy Birthday

Till we meet again.......

My Grandpa lost his battle with cancer:( He was so sweet and going to be missed.  I had the opportunity to help take care of him in his last days, he was always so greatful for everything I was doing for him. He  is in a better place with my Grandma and his daughter. He has been waithing to reuninte with my grandma since she passed 5 years ago. I remeber growing up my grandpa was such a hard worker he would always tell us fibs all the time. My favorite was that my grandma bit off his finger, but in reality he lost it in a trackor accident. I am going to miss you grandpa. Love you
