Be Open To New Ideas!!

Quote for the day! 

Well the day has finally come to an end I think. How people keep up on blogging just blows my mind. My plan was to write every night after the kids went to bed but that was impossible. This week has started off great! 

(12-05-10) Sunday Morning

Everyday the kids wake up at 6-6:30a.m. except for SUNDAY!! Trying to get them up is a nightmare. We get ready, eat breakfast, then throw them all in the car. It never fails that one poops. Some Sundays it'll be all 3 at the same time. I want to just scream out loud sometimes and go home but I just take a deep breath eat a Kit Kat from my bag and get over it. 

Then Ray will says; "You couldn't  put an orange in there or something?" 

I said; "Gosh go away let me be in peace right now." The Church is True... 

How can you get mad at this on Sunday!

After Church Uncle Loti and Kingston took us out to lunch/dinner. CHUCK-A-RAMA!!

They love taking Austin out. 

We told them if you take Austin 

You take all of us!! 

Always interested in what Fele has to say! 

Every First Sunday of the month we have our Hosea Family Meeting. They have started this when we I was just a baby and still have it. All the kids love getting together. No one ever misses out because we all love spending time together. Everyone has a committee they are in charge of and has to report on it. Also they can share stories about what has happened in there family or share a song with us. We only report on the positive thing and discuss how everyone is excelling in life. They also share who is in what sport at the time. This was the best idea a family can have.  

Like Uncle Charles and Uini are in charge of Education, Personal Development and Finances. They report on which kids have a 3.5 and above and reward them. Then he gives a speech on how important SCHOOL is and how we need to keep learning and reading books. I totally agree with him all the time. On Personal Development they talk about learning a new song as a family or joining the ward choir or joining the school choir. Things like that . For Finances they talk about budgeting and how we are in hard times to be smart with your money. 

Then there is Bishop Nate and Nelsia who are in charge of Welfare. They report on what dates they have reserved the machine to can at our own homes. Every month we are supposed to buy what is to be bought that month like rice, oat meal, cocoa, flour, sugar and so forth. Then by the end of the year we have a full year supply. Nelsia also checks to see if everyone has their 72hr. kits and first aids complete. Nelsia is always on top of welfare so this is just perfect for her. She is always contacting us to see if we bought our stuff for that month. I love them tons. 

Next is Noa and Loti who are in charge of Health and Fitness. They report on upcoming games in our family. We were so blessed to have a ton of kids who have talent and who are athletic. They share stories on how we can eat healthier. They set up our Sport Days! They set up goals for us to not get to over weight. I have issues cuz I can't lose weight. I just need to do it. This football season was so much fun. The majority of the  Hosea grandchildren played at  Cottonwood High. The seniors were Kami, Nadan, and Konisi. The only Junior was Kingston. The Sophomores were Gabe and Inoke. The only Freshman was Baby Charles who did very well and was able to dress for some of the Sophomore games. 

Kay and Tee are in charge of Temple work. They plan with all the teens a day they can all go to the temple. Also we just added couples temple night as well. They plan who is in charge of breakfast for the kids that go. They plan who can do pick ups and which priest can go to help out. If there is time they share a story or share how we are blessed to have so many temple so close by. We really are blessed to have this gospel in our lives. 

Last but not least there is my mom (Langi) and Dad (Hui) who are in charge of Activities and Fundraisers. They plan every single activity. We have 1 every month. They plan how much the activity would cost, who can all come, what activities we do and much much more. My dad always turns some of the activities into the hardest workout of my life. The kids all enjoy my dad being who he is. My mom is seriously the happiest person ever and always way cool to be around. She always has the best ideas for activities and can turn something boring into the best night ever. 

Oh and they added us to the list as well. Ray and I are in charge of Family History. We make a birthday list, we make a family news letter, we try to take pictures and film all of our events then make a disc to hand out the next month. We report on things going on now and if someone needs help with anything we try and help out with what we can. I really am so happy to be a part of this. 

Our meetings are supposed to only be 1 hour but they end up being 2 or 3 hours. 

 Pictures while at the meeting...  

Happy Birthday Fifi

Time to go home... 

Play time before bed

I found them all in the living room sleeping 

I don't know why they all sleep in the living room.

Visited Grandma Tolofi

I told Ray we weren't going to get a tree because it costed too much. When we went to Grandma's house Fele said "mommy where is our TREE?" 

After Grandma's we went the D.I. and found a TREE!! YesssSSssSssSS... 

Fele found some phones to call JUSIN BIEBER!! 

We set up our 7 foot tree. It was brand spankin New too for only $12.00. I love the D.I.

Still in car seats so we can put the tree up. 

I got the center piece minus the glass tree from the D.I. for 25 cents! Yup yup I am proud..

I forgot to take a picture of it all done. I'll do it tomorrow.  

Sahar texted after I put the tree up saying GNO at the Bakery for Cocoa. I was all excited because it has been forever since I last saw them all. We all went to Highland High together. The last time I saw them all was in May at Megan's wedding. They are all so cute. 

                                               

It was so nice catching up with all of them. I don't know why the tiniest girl had to stand by me making me look even bigger then I am. Thanks Olivia haha.. 

It's always nice to have good friends!! 

Tuesday (12-07-10)

 We finally fixed the car. There was no way we could go one more day without it.

I got my gift for the Christmas Party this Saturday. Im way excited to see everyone there. 

When it rains it pours. Not only did the car break down on us but the Washer decided to stop working. So I had to take all our laundry to my moms house to have clean clothes for the week. 

I went to Proctor Training. Why do we have to have it so early in the morning. I had to take all three babies and they made a mess and were noisy over there. The good thing is that I could even take them with me.

That was pretty Much it. Have a great week everyone.
