happy happy halloween!

Well, my daughter Naomi came home early from trick or treating and said her tummy hurt, and we didn't listen. After mommy took her around the block and daddy for the second time, we should have listened, we came home and she threw up all over herself. I guess the build up of the day and excitement and probably the fifth tootsie roll, things caught up to her and she let it all out over her blue fairy dress. Well, she fell asleep quickly and now she knows the meaning of too much candy will give u a tummy ache and will make you sick. Moral of the story, Daddy and Mommy wanted more candy? NO! We needed to listen to our 3 yr old. She had a lot of fun, but she knew when to quit T or T, and we didn't listen.;( Poor Naomi!

Through the first 3 Halloween years...
First yr- bumble bee
second yr- pink princess/ cinderella
third yr- tinker bell/ blue pixie fairy ( but she didn't want to wear her wings tonight)

here she is Miss Samoa...

A Star is Born! Leilani weighed 8lbs 2oz, 21 in long, and our sweet baby girl arrived Wed Oct 22 at 9:54pm! We are so proud of our new arrival. It was a long day on Wed 10/22, we checked in the hospital at 630am and I was induced. It was a long wait till I was ready, my contractions were good through-out the day, and the baby looked really good too. I was fine and felt ready, except when it was time for my epideral, which really hurt! But, it was better then feeling the contractions all day. I was finally dialated to a 4, 8hrs later the doctor broke my water and things started to happen really fast. I only had to push less then 20 min and Leilani was out. Tommy cut the cord and he and my mother were a huge help all day. She is so beautiful, we love her and we are so glad she is here and healthy. Naomi was at the hospital waiting with Pappa, she woke up to meet Leilani and smiled. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Leilani is here!!!!!

funny things naomi says

Her preschool teacher asked her, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Naomi looked at her weird and said, "Still a Girl"! The teacher said she had this look on her face like, duh! :)

She also told Miss Merlene, that I already had the baby on Tues and we named her Cali. mmmm? I wish I had her already! and Cali is cute, but we never said that.

Naomi still likes to call the kitchen-"chicken".

Naomi also wants to name the baby Talula. or Lelo. or Stitch.

She says the baby can come out and play with her toys.
She call herself "Nomi".
I am the Queen on most days and Daddy is the King and she is the princess.

Tommy teaches her some Samoan also, but these are the ones she remembers...
balafanga-fart
uma-finished
fa'vave-hurry

little treasures from Naomi

Naomi likes to bring me something anytime she is away from me. If she is with Daddy on a walk, or gone to the store or just outside for a few min, she always brings me a gift. A stick, leaf, rock, flower, dried up dead fruit, or an unripen fruit. Lately she likes to collect rocks, big rocks, so I have rocks in my home, I have tripped over some of them too. She always loves to bring me flowers too. When she would visit a friend in their home she would also come home with a present for me, a marble, a small toy, or something weird she thinks is beautiful! So one day in Cali at the beach, Naomi actually found a treasure, a complete shell, not broken, which is hard to find, I was excited for her, it was a perfect clam shell. After playing with it for awhile, she thought it wasn't so perfect, so she broke it and threw it back in the ocean. I love my "nomi", she is my little treasure!
