Hiker's Haven

Ti took the boys to hike up the mountain at Exploration Park. I stayed home to clean the house and even though I missed out on all the action Ti took pictures with his phone of the boys when they reached the top.


Neo & Kauasi's Anniversary- Las Vegas, NV

Last year Neo and Kauasi went to Hawaii for their anniversary. Mafileo stayed with Heleni, while we babysat Ruby Mei. This year they decided last minute to spend their anniversary here in Vegas. We checked them into the MGM Grand and kept the kids here for the first night. Mei Mei was not so fond of us this time around. Well actually I don't think it's that she didn't like us, I just think she's older and more aware of what's going on- so basically, she knew she got ditched lol. It took the kids a little bit to adjust, but eventually they did and we made it through the night-phew! We planned on going to the Mirage the next day, but it rained :( So we went (with the kids) to check out the aquarium at the Shark Reef. It was their first time and Mafileo LOVED it. I can't believe how much this kid talks. He kept calling the alligator a dinosaur, loved all the fish (for the mostpart), and was terrified of the jellyfish.
Later that night Neo and Kauasi took the kids to Walmart and came home with a new video game for the Wii. You should've seen Mote's reaction when Neo whipped it out- he's an addict already, it was a little scary! So we stayed up playing games and the next morning we took the Mataele's back to the airport to catch their flight home to Salt Lake. Me and Ti have been married for 7 years and we have yet to celebrate an anniversary. Most of the time we'll go without even noticing that our anniversary has passed. We got married Dec 21, 2002- 4 days before Christmas. We're always so tied up in the holidays that we never stop and take time to recognize our wedding anniversary. It doesn't bug either of us, but I told Ti that we should celebrate our 10th anniversary for sure. He says that we'll go out of the country for it, but don't be surprised if you find us on the strip, just 20 minutes away.
