My cousin Lusi asked me to share my experience as a mom w/her young women. I thought for sure I wouldn't cry. I did ok til 2 min into it talking bout how much I love my kids. We go to the library every week. We read together and do homework together. Veni's learned most all his alphabet from his grandma Tea nd shows about reading on the t.v. I wk nights so I sleep in and Veni watches t.v. Once in a long while he'll leave my side to go watch t.v. w/Walt or my mom but usually he sits right beside his sleeping mommy. Poor kid. I decided to wk nights so Keai and I could take turns watchin our kids, but I didnt expect for my body to be this outta wack. Tired all the time. Weight gain....what else? but the positive things are that we dont have to depend on anyone else to help us out. My Veni and I get to drive around and take walks before the girls get home. I wouldn't trade the time I get to spend w/my kids for any wk anywhere.

Zerin's baptism
Zerin had a great baptism on March 5th. Good turnout w/all my bros and sis there except Richard. Talks were given by Sepa leka, Eli, and Vamona. She had $$ as gifts from her uncles, aunts, gpa and gma's and she wouldn't share anything with me. My dad came w/Pou and even made it to the falekai. So happy for Zerin. Her dad baptized her and then confirmed her a member of the church.
funny things kids say/do
Woke up to Veni karate-ing the air. He keeps saying "Watch this mom." He loves watching a movie called "3 Ninjas" then he ninas everything in sight. Zerin always jumps to hug her dad b4 she goes to bed. nd she has a fieldtrip planned to landfill w/her class. asks her dad to join them and i said "why dont u take ur landfill truck?" then he laughs and replies "I'll take it while it's full and have the kids help me clean it out. What a fieldtrip....my kids already go their on a monthly basis. Zerin can take them on the tour of the place. Kale is always trying to sneak out w/her Heely shoes. She's really good about makin sure her sister and lil brother eat when I am knocked out. Crystal had her baby girl today. so happy for them. she's sooo chubby and looks like a "mini me" of Vincent. Learned bout $$ teaching techniques for kids so starting that tomorrow giving them chores for commission.
