More February updates

"We got spirit!"
On Feb. 23rd - 27th Salt Lake Elementary had "Spirit Week". During this week students and staff participate in relays and dress up to show school spirit. There was Career Day, where you dress up portraying a certain job/career. Smylyn dressed as a ballet teacher and Serene was a music teacher. I wore my work scrubs. On Hat Day we wore various types of hats. The girls and I especially loved Freaky Hair Day. My kindergartner's were very creative with their Career Day costumes. Two of them were dressed as President Obama and a Plastic Surgen.

"Welcoming a new member"
On Saturday Feb. 21 2009 Kau'i Naluai was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. Daddy Alika, Mommy Paoa , younger sibs, family and friends were all in attendance. A big early dinner followed and we are all happy for her and her family.


"Thank you mommy I had lots of fun"
On Saturday Feb. 28 2009 Serene held her 6th birthday party in Laie at grandma and papa's house. We had messy food games and the kids tore up the pinata. When all friends and family left Serene found me washing pots in the kitchen. She gave me a big hug and said "Thank you mommy I had lots of fun". I was so touched by her words I knew that it didn't matter how stressed I was putting her party together. My baby was happy.
