Trips and Crazy Boys!

Last month we had the amazing opportunity to go to St. George, UT to see my little brother, Nephi, be sealed to his wife, Lindsy, and their two adorable boys, Owen and Kyron in the St. George temple and to also be there for Kyron's baby blessing. The sealing, reception, and baby blessing were all amazing and we just enjoyed every minute of the trip spending time with family, eating way too much good food, and just having fun! Uncle Talo, Aunt Donna, and three of their kids were also able to join us as well as our cousin, Owen, who had just moved to Utah, from Samoa, about 3 weeks before. He did some Samoan cultural dances for everyone and taught the little boys the "haka" which they all loved! I was actually really horrible at taking pictures this trip so here are just random ones I got.


Cousin Time! These boys were inseparable the whole time!



We rented a beautiful vacation home there and one of the favorite things for the kids was the big backyard and all the fun outside toys to play with. These boys stayed outside forever!



That is what we spent most of our time doing-just lounging, visiting, and stuffing our faces with delicious food! Our family is good at that! :)



My cousin, Owen, giving a Samoan congratulatory speech to my brother and his family and then him and my nephews doing the haka. They were awesome!

We really enjoyed our trip to St. George and were so glad we could be there for Nephi and Lindsy and their family. After St. George, we took a weekend trip to Childress for Labor Day and had a blast there as well! The kids just played like crazy and really enjoyed getting to go play and ride horses out at Mandi's parents' place.







We were in Childress for BYU's first game of the season and enjoyed the victory! Go Cougars!

Unfortunately, the following 2 games were not so good! Isaac and I went to the BYU vs UT game in Austin with friends. It was awesome except for losing and all the college kids flipping us the bird, yelling FU, and mormons suck! Super impressed with the high-class of those UT students...wow. I have to say, I had to suppress my urge to punch some faces and snap some necks! Yes, I'm a nice person..just have little tolerance for annoyingly rude people especially when I'm angry over sports! Sorry for scaring you Jen! I went with my friend, Jen, and I think I scared her a little because she's never experienced that mean side of me. Those of you who know me well understand what losing in sports competitions does to me!:) That being said...we won't even talk about the Utah game. Moving on.

Some random pics of my boys lately-









The pic of the boys with blankets tied around their necks is them playing superheroes. Yes, I'm too cheap to buy them real costumes but who needs them when you have baby blankets!:)
