Some things I forgot

I have been very bad at writing on here. (BAD NORMA!) It will most likely happen again though so I can't apologize. My mom has always told me that, "Sorry means you'll never do it again." Yeah, well, it will most likely happen again.

This post will be a serious mish mash of a whole lotta things so try not to get confused.

I get pictures and texts from Angie and Steve often and I LOVE them.  They took a trip to Cali to got to Disneyland and here's what I got...

He saw a white pt cruiser in the parking lot of a grocery store in Ca. I had run in to get a few things and Steve said he started screaming at the top of his lungs
NOOOOOMAAAAAA I foun you!
Steve said he watched the woman get out and started to look real close and realized it wasn't you. :(

Made me sad, but happy that he still remembers me. I talk to him on the phone and when he's done talking, he's done. He hands the phone off and that's that. I love the way he says he loves me and misses me.

He's a great swimmer BTdub. He's a stud on the diving board and can hold his breath while he touches the bottom of the pool and then he swims right back up to the other edge. Maybe I'll start calling him Nemo.

For my birthday they sent me a chain to count down the days until they get here. I LOVE IT!!!!   I also got a Willow Tree figure, Guardian Angel. Angie said that I was Bubba's guardian angel.


In May, the Wilkins came to visit for 15 days. Boy was that fun!
Drew is 4, Beau is 2, and Oliver is 7 months. P.S. The twins are also 2.

Beau, Levu, Liahona and Drew

Ollie and his do rag. Couldn't you just eat this kid up?!?!?!
He loved to chew on the fire knives
Bubba, after a haircut. He's such a big boy!
For Christmas, I got him a pot and pan set and my sister, Gina, got him fake, wooden food. He loves to "coke" for his momma, daddy and baby brother.

This was his hot soup for lunch. I'm sure it was wonderful.
This is such a precious picture. These babies love each other so much and are the best of friends. If you make one of them cry, the other one starts to cry too.

Whoa! Where did that wave come from?

Liahona was feeling yucky so she laid on her momma and held her Popsicle, while she slept.
After I put them to bed one night, I found this.
Don't worry, I removed the pillow from her face after this picture was taken.

This is the USS Carl Vinson. This beauty is the vessel that transported Osama bin Laden's body out to the ocean where he was laid to rest with the fishes.

How cute is Bubba's baby brother?! He is so handsome and I love him to death. He is well taken care of by his brother.
If you can see the white lines in the picture, these are waterfalls down the mountain after it had rained hard for several days.

And another one. I pulled off to the side of the freeway to get these.
The next few pics are taken by little people who like to jack our phones.

We all have about 50 pics like this on our phones.

Cousin Love!

Such a cuddle bug.

Nani is very comfy.

For Christmas I got Bubba baby PT Cruiser like mine. He loves it.


Mom and I had fun at the Owensby's opening presents and just talking about all kinds of things.
They love to wrestle


And Ike wins!!
In March, Soleil and her friend, Shellton came to visit for 2 weeks. Soleil graduated in June so my mom took her picture so we could make her graduation announcements. How many other seniors do you think had their graduation pics done in Hawaii? Oh wait. NONE!  Isn't this girl gorgeous?!?! I love her and miss her terribly.


This door has our heights on it from when we were little tykes. I was sad to leave it.



The next few pics are from Bubba's 2nd birthday.
He took the first 3 pics himself.





Bubba with his Lightning McQueen backpack.


Holding Ike

And the birthday boy

This set was taken before my sister Monica and her family moved to Hawaii.

Uncle Kali and Bubba
We tried really hard to get a pic with three 1 year olds. This is how it went...
One is getting away!
The boy doesn't want to be pinned down

And she's off
And we are left with Bubba and Uncle Kali

Levu was happy to be free again.
I love that profile


 
So, these are some of the things I have forgotten about. I love my family and wouldn't change a thing about any of them. I love my new adopted family just as much.
