Taiyo's First Halloween

This is Taiyo's first real Halloween. He made fun of me for getting so excited about buying a pumpkin, but I convinced him to carve one with me and I think he ended up getting into it more than I did!


The only candles we could find were some birthday cake candles, so T rubber banded them all together and lit them on fire... The flame was taller than the pumpkin but he insisted it was fine, and put them in a small tin can and put the whole thing, already lit, into the pumpkin with a pair of tongs lol... Crazy Tongan.

Wow.

I can't wait to see what he and our future kids come up with someday!

Sinalei or Larry?

Look what I found!



You know what that means! heehee...Taiyo and I found out on Wednesday that we are expecting our first baby! I know it was quick but we're excited! I sent text messages to my mom, dad and sister, saying "Hi Grandma :)", "Hi Grandpa :)", and "Hi Aunty :)" and I immediately got text replies back from my mom and sister like "Don't tease me, my heart is pounding!"

After a few minutes they called me and we talked for a while. While I was talking to my mom I got a text message from my dad simply saying "Sinalei or Larry?" LOL. We decided a while ago that we would name our first daughter Sinalei Marie Palefau. But we haven't thought of a boy's name yet. So far that text message is the only thing I've heard from my dad, but I talked to my mom again today and she said she's getting really excited and my dad is too. It's starting to get fun. I can't wait til the 2nd trimester though when I can start feeling it inside me! :D

Now I guess I don't have to say I'm full palangi, because now I have "a little Tongan in me!" LOL... I crack myself up sometimes... jk.

Hooray for eternal families!

BYUH Tongan Club Mini-Olympics!

The BYUH Tongan club has started a new tradition of "Mini Olympics" activities. The whole club is split into four colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. Taiyo and I are on the red team. Our team was defending champs and at our games last night we came out on top again!

This was our team
banner.---> It says "Mate Ma'a Tonga Team Victory" (kinda hard to read, I know).

Taiyo and I did a three-legged race together and came in second. I have a massive bruise on my ankle this morning to prove it, haha...






It was fun. I'm glad we're here at BYUH. We've been able to experience so many wonderful things and people here.

GO REDDD!!!

DID WE WIN? YEAH!! DID WE WIN? YEAH!! HOW DID WE DO IT??....

EEEEEAAASSYYYYYYYYY!

Enrichment

I attended my first enrichment as a married lady this week! lol... We made little wooden plaque things with our 7 ward goals painted on them, so hang on our walls.

1. Daily Prayer
2. Daily Scripture Study
3. Weekly F.H.E.
4. Weekly Date Night
5. Monthly Temple Attendance
6. Monthly Fast
7. Charity

I was in a rush because I had to leave early to go to work (I tutor statistics) but I was surprised that it turned out somewhat descent, and even Taiyo really seemed to like it when I showed him that night! hehe...


Yay for family ward Relief Societies! And for me being one of the married ladies! lol...
