Dirty Rotten Kids!

Sione decided that the kids could have Twix on the way home from my mom's....needless to say we won't be doing that again especially when they fall asleep with it in their mouth. :)

This is what happens when you run inside for just a minute to get the phone....I knew it was WAY too quiet outside! I think I remember doing this exact same thing in my dad's wheelbarrow when I was little.

Soakai's shoes had to have a good washing after this little episode.

So I don't know what the fascination is with getting so dirty! The weather has been so nice the past few days so I've let the kids spend most of the day in the backyard. I figured that they were better off out there making a mess than in the house, but after this day I don't know which is worse. Either way I've got a huge mess to clean up. I know, I know-it's just part of being a little kid & they have lots of fun doing it & I did it too when I was little. I guess I'll just have to pray for some more patience....heaven knows I need all I can get with these little rugrats.

Part 1

Wasn't that an emotional show last night?? I don't know why I got so caught up in it...I even know how it all turns out & I still got all nervous when they were doing the challenge to decide teams. Then, when Bob saw his original team for the first time....gosh, I felt like someone died or something. Even Sione was getting all worked up seeing it all over again. It's fun to watch the show with Sione now because he tells you all the little things that happened behind the scenes & what they choose not to show. For example....the whole mud challenge thing (I forget what they called it)...the rules were that you had to keep your shoes on, but of course some people took them off & were allowed to keep them off for the challenge which made it easier for them. And, Sione had to redo a bunch of his up/downs because the judges said he didn't touch. I'm not making excuses for him, but sometimes I wish people knew how things really happened. I really want him to beat Tara- I'm a little tired of hearing how great she is. At least they won the bike challenge as a team. Way to go Sione for sticking up for yourself & not quitting!!! Sione always said that if there was ever a challenge & people wanted to quit that he would respect them for their choice, but he would never quit.

Poor Bob. I am well aware of the connection that Sione & Bob have. After seeing last nights show & hearing all the stories I'm wondering if I should be worried?! Sione- do you have anything that you would like to talk to me about. :) He's gonna kill me for that. I don't think that people realize how close you grow to your trainer & teammates- they become your family- since you can't even talk to your family at home. I know that it might have looked a little dramatic, but (I'm told) when you're there & they change things up like that on you it's pretty emotional and shocking. There are a lot of other things that played a role in their reactions to switching to Jillians team that I won't get into, but it makes sense as to why Sione was so upset about the switch. I did have to giggle though when Sione covered his face with his hood so we couldn't see him. My mom called me & said that it looked like Maizi when she pouts. :) Now I know where she get it.

Tune in for part 2!!!

Episode 7 Commentary

I know this is late, but better late than never---right? So, I have been informed that during last week's pop challenge of running to get the keys Sione ran the most laps (17 times). They neglected to mention that & Sione thought that you might want to know that just in case anyone out there was confused. I know that it seemed like Tara might have run the most, but NO she didn't.....she just threw up the most!! :) I'm starting to think that maybe that's how she's losing her weight- she's bulimic. Just Kidding!!! Anyway, it was another great show & another week of HARD work by Sione & Filipe to stay safe for another week. So proud of you guys!!

I just love that Sione

I have to say that last nights episode has been my favorite so far. :) I am so proud of all the work Sione did while he was home for those 30 days. I've never seen Sione works so hard for something before. He worked his butt off and the numbers proved it.....25 lbs!!! He totally blew everyone away. I also liked the part when Sione jumped up on the tallest box they had- no problem. Bob was amazed at him for being able to do that without even hardly trying. This was the funniest part of the whole show.....Shanon having to carry Sione on her back & she says "Look how sweaty he is". I was laughing so hard - poor girl. I would have broken my back! :)

There you are Sione!

Yay!!! Sione gets to go back! (not that we all didn't know that already) I am so excited for the coming weeks of the show- now that Sione will be there again. I was kind of bummed that we didn't get to see all the at home people weigh in last night. I guess we have to wait til next week. I have a feeling that Sione did very well while he was at home. :) I know for sure that he worked his butt off during those 30 days-- he practically lived at the gym. I don't really have much else to say about episode 4 except that I hate it when they have contestants on there who don't even want to be there. I don't get that- why do you even apply. It's such a long process too...what a waste of time if you're not going to give it all you've got & be serious about it. I am so glad that Sione has such a great partner in Filipe! I can't wait to see them together again. By the way...nice job dropping another 13 lbs!!!
