January has come and gone with the flash of an eye I swear!! Anyways, some of the highlights were we made our vision boards with goals for 2016.
Ray is gonna finish school and work hard to keep his family together forever.
I have set to eat healthier and take my cell phone business to the next level.
Sofele has taken on hip hop, sports, good grades and getting ready to get baptised this year.
Alexis has promised to be nice and read everyday.
Austin has was going to work on finishing his homework on time and listening in primary.
Kaleb promised to learn more songs and learn how to potty train.
This year we are working on finishing the Book of Mormon, attending the temple at leaset twice a month and Fasting every first Sunday. We also want to make sure we keep family home evening ongoing and learn songs with the kids, especially because Kaleb loves to sing.
This year started a Sofele_Fit instagram page where we post videos of some of our workouts and also a ton of throwback videos.Our family is working on taking on health and fitness. My dad has some crazy good drills when it comes to speed and strength. So we are putting together some camps for speed training and getting that going this year. Go check it out, and follow us!!!

Back in October 2015 my mother in law Peta Hansen found out she had cancer.We didn't think to much of it because she never made it a big issue because Peta always focused on other things, she was still so happy and focused on taking care of Lopeti who is also sick and in a care center. She kept herself busy by visiting the grandkids, getting her nails done, getting her lashes done and looking out for Lopeti.
It all started on Tuesday January 26th where I had a feeling we should go visit Ray's mom who went into the Huntsman center because she wasn't feeling good. I got a babysitter and right when Ray got off work I told him lets go visit his mom. We sat there for a couple hours watching her in pain and finding something to talk about, super glad I followed my heart and went because things weren't looking good.
Wednesday January 27th, she called and said the doctors told her she only had a couple weeks left and that she was better off going home to be with loved ones and be compfortable at home. When we heard the news, Ray and I ran over to pick up Peta and met Moana there. I couldn't believe how fast this was all going.

Hours after learning from doctors that there was nothing more they could do to treat mom's cancer we prepped mom's belongings and wheeled her out of her room towards the elevator. By now mom was at peace with the news and had already seemed to have prepared herself for this moment. Her chance to go home and spend what little time she had left with family. As I wheeled her into the elevator tears flowed down my cheeks thinking about what time I had left to spend with mom. We stood in that elevator in awkward silence. I tried to hide my crying. Then mom broke the silence. "Do you want to go to Chuck-A-Rama?". I stood there thinking to myself "Did she really just ask if we want to go to Chuck-A-Rama?". This is one of the last photos I have of mom while eating dinner that night. For whatever reason I thought I would take this picture and be able to laugh about it with her later but it was only 2 days later that mom slipped slowly into eternity. I love you mom!

Super glad Ray was able to get a picture before Peta slipped away. I usually am really good at capturing every moment, but for some reason I couldn't get my phone out and take a picture because I couldn't see Peta gone and I wanted her to stay longer, I wanted her to make it to Sofele's baptism, I wanted her to see her around more, I just wasn't ready either.
I am blessed to have had her in my life the last 9 years that I have known Ray. I am blessed to know that she was front and center to all my kids baby blessings, I am super blessed that I got to listen to her sweet voice as she loved to sing, I am blessed that she raised such a fine young man who I am married and helps raise our four wonderful kids. Peta was a wonderful, beautiful, kind landy who loved everyone and everyone loved her! Thanks for all the great memories!!!
The Funeral
The funeral turned out beautiful. Ray and his siblings did a wonderful job keeping everything together. My favorite part was the musical numbers and the slideshow. The spirit was strong and the family was united. We love you and will miss you so much!!!!!! #PetaWolfgrammHansen
