Maizi's New Glasses

FINALLY!!!

This girly got some new glasses. That only took like 2 years! Poor girl has need new glasses forever - if any of you saw her old ones you know what I'm talking about. I don't know how she even saw out of them. Aren't these new ones SO cute?! They make her look so old. We went to a new doctor that was great & gave us a lot of information on Maizi's eye. He recommended us to another doctor who specializes in Vision Therapy. She had her first session last month & did very well. She'll go once a month for awhile & then once a week. The purpose is to teach her brain to use her eye again....long explanation. Basically her brain has learned to really not even use her right eye so we're trying to fix that.

Spring Training

We'd been talking about taking the kids to a spring training, but leave it to us to procrastinate til the last day. :) We lucked out & got some lawn tickets at the new ball field - I have actually never been to a spring training game either so it was a first for all of us except Sione. It was a lot of fun - don't know if I really enjoyed the spot we got, but I guess that's what happens when you wait around & you're late to the game. Anyway, the kids seemed to have fun, despite the very warm weather on this day. Next year we'll plan ahead. :)

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.
