Another year older

Well, another year has passed & I am another year wiser. :) Not really, but I like to think so. The weekend before Sione had an event in Prescott so I used that as an excuse to have a little getaway for my birthday. When we got back we had a nice birthday celebration at my parents for me, my dad, and my nephew Josh. I am so bummed I didn't take hardly any pictures, but naturally Maizi was more than willing to take hers. :)

We took like 3 pictures of this pose & in every one of them someone's eyes were closed so I chose the one where mine were open. ;)

Sione's Half Marathon

I feel so bad I haven't done a very good job of keeping up with Sione on here. In January Sione completed another 1/2 marathon. I was tracking him the whole time on my phone & tried so hard to get a picture of him crossing the finish line, but there were so many people I didn't get it. :( This is after the race with our friends Darrell & Ashley. Sione finished with a time of 2:17:00 beating his last time. Way to go Sione!!!

Maizalina Ballerina

My mom & dad always call Maizi "Maizalina" so I thought it was funny like Angelina Ballerina. Funny, huh?!? :) Anyway, Maizi started a little tap & ballet class a few weeks ago through the city. She loved going every Saturday morning (me, not so much). She took it last spring & wasn't too thrilled with tap, but this time she really liked it & learned lots of new stuff.

Soakai just wanted his picture taken too....imagine that.

Our "Baby" is 3!!!

Our little man is now three years old! I seriously can't believe how fast that went. He has definitely given me some gray hairs, but he is also the sweetest kid when he wants to be. :) Soakai is the busiest boy I've ever seen. He fills his days with throwing all his toys over every wall in the backyard, climbing up on the playhouse roof, and digging up all the rocks in the backyard and most recently he has decided that he can go to the bathroom wherever he feels like it outside. :) Joys of boys!!!

For Soakai's birthday we celebrated at the Fig's & at the Fa's. He loved the attention & all the gifts. Thanks everyone for loving Soakai as much as we do!

His Spiderman bike....he LOVES!!!

The singing was just too loud for the birthday boy.

I had to add this picture- Soakai got a Spiderman costume & Reign put the mask on - he creeped me out!

Once again the singing was just too much!

Photography by Maizi

As I'm sure you are all aware by now, any chance Maizi or Soakai get to steal my camera it comes back to me with like 100 pictures on there. These are just a few moments Maizi caught on Christmas.

Kalli ~ This is by far the prettiest picture I've ever seen of you!! :)
