Mone & Makai

Mone & Makai came out as soon as school got out. We had a blast together and were so happy they came out to Vegas to spend time with us.

We spent a lot of time cooling off at the pool.

Didn't get any pics of Independence Day, but it was one for the books. We drove out to Pahrump and bought some fireworks and on July 4th we had hot dogs and a firework show out front. It was the best we've had so far! Mone & Makai even got their own Clark County library cards, so they are honorary Vegas kids ;)

Visitors in Vegas... Part 1

It's been tough being away from Ti, so we've been grateful to have visitors out here to keep the boys company.... and there's no better company than family.
Last week we got to have fun with our Falatea boys

 

 

We surprised Ti by driving out last weekend to visit him. We dropped off Vince and brought home 2 more boys with us. So I am going on week 2 of being a single working mother of 5... and doing a lot better than I thought I could. More pics to come of us and our new visitors...

Weekend Visitors

Fun with our family that stopped by over the weekend. Moala's, Fonua's, and Williams'... good times!

Day 2 With the Falatea's + the Fangupo's

Anyone who loves to swim will find our home a perfect fit. We took Vince & Misi swimming yesterday and they've been talking about going back to the pool nonstop. Asking Vince to wait til school was out was torture, but he survived. Swimming just wouldn't be the same without all 5 boys anyway.




Ti's two youngest brothers are in town as well, so after the pool we met up for dinner. There were a couple locations that were brought up as suggestions, but I kept pushing for M Resort, which eventually won ;) It was our first time there and we had such a great experience. The resort is BEAUTIFUL!!! We ate at Studio B and were seated right next to a window overlooking the city. The food was so yummy- well worth waiting in the line that seemed never ending.

Good times!

Fun With the Falatea's: Adventure Dome

My nephews from Salt Lake are in town and I told the boys that when they got home from school we would be going somewhere special. As soon as I picked them up Mote handed me this note...


We didn't end up going to Chucky Cheese, but went here instead...


Me and Ti took the kids to THE ADVENTURE DOME at Circus Circus. My nephew Vince is a little older so I was hoping he would have fun. As soon as we stepped in the hotel his eyes lit up and he kept saying how awesome everything was. He was dazzled by all the shops and kept trying to point out different landmarks where Chris Angel has performed his illusions.

Vince really liked this motorcycle so it was the first pic we snapped inside the building

Nic seeing if he measures up

Their all day access wrist bands

At first me & Ti split up. He took the 3 younger boys and I took Vince & Mote cause we thought the younger ones would be too scared to go on some of the more advanced rides. We eventually all joined back up to play games and to go on more rides together. I felt bad cause my kids are so short. They tried to go on one of the water rides and got to the front of the line only to get turned away because they didn't meet the height requirement. Siope was really upset about the whole situation. He had a little breakdown, but I was finally able to get him to cheer up... actually I threatened to take him home and he stopped sobbing right away.

While we were in the theme park I heard Vince say, "This is the funnest day!" Oh man, that just made it all worthwhile for me. I'm so glad they enjoyed themselves! While the kids were on the last ride Ti went to the candy shop and bought each of the boys lollipops.



After prying the kids away from all the fun, we loaded up and went to grab something to eat for dinner. Destination --- Sammy's Woodfired Pizza.

Yum-O!
