Fatu's No. 1 Fan

This portrait of Ruby Mei in Fatu's football gear was drawn by Brittainy's Mom. I can't get over how adorable it is.
I had no problem getting Mei Mei to pose alongside the artwork of herself.

A Year of Ruby Mei

My niece Ruby Mei turned one this year and celebrated this past Saturday with family and friends in Salt Lake. I am the lucky aunt of 3 nieces who all have such DIFFERENT personalities. I think my strong desire to have a girl stems from these 3 gems. My older nieces Lauren and Constance are old enough to help me keep an eye on my boys. They are lifesavers whenever I come out to Salt Lake and I am so grate for their willingness to help out. The youngest of our Moala family came to us in April of last year and we have been smitten ever since. I think I speak for all my siblings when I say that Ruby Mei has a way of mesmerizing us. You can't help but want to carry her 24/7 and buy her everything that a little girl should have. My boys share such a special bond with her- the only thing right now that I can compare to an older brother/younger sister relationship. She is the reason that I have recieved endless requests to provide a "baby sister" for my children. She brings such a sweet spirit to our Moala family and I am honored that she carries on my middle name. Happy birthday Ruby Mei Ku'ualoha Mataele. Ofa lahi atu.

Ruby Mei

Today I felt crazy enough to attempt a scrapbook layout on my laptop. I've been begging Neo to send me pictures of Ruby Mei because I'm getting a little sick of doing boy pages. Neo sucks and hasn't sent me any yet, so I took this off her myspace. This is one of Ruby Mei's hospital shots. She's the cutest!
