Les, Lisia,Tina,Baybee & me visiting Em @ Green Hills :)2 years ago we lost a sister to an illness called Lupus. There were 10 of us girls that started this little click called Quad Sqaud a.k.a Q.S. I am not even going to tell you what it stands for b/c we were like 12 when we made it up and its sooooo silly! We grew up together doing everything together. Sports, dancing, girls camp, seminary, high school, missions, college, marriage, it has been such a journey. What a blessing it has been to have sisters there for you through thick and thin. Eme was the strong one and her nick name was Sheera! she had personality that just made you want to smile and laugh all day. So loving and caring and totally crazy sometimes. We were able to raise over $5K to help the the Lupus Foundation with funds to continue research and find a cure! it was tons of fun to be with the girls again and have a blast getting together in memory of our sister Emeline Te'o.
This is pic with Mercedes from Americas Next Top Model. She has Lupus too and was there to support the cause.
We had to run to Target to get matching purple shirts. my baby girl Mia LOVES her some Target! she takes after her Aunty Lithie huh baby? Look at that face? we love Target!

Mia with Uncle Thias (he just got his mission call to the Marshall Islands! So proud of you bro)

My sibs at the walk. Lexi, Thias, Leesha, Tini and Mia girl, Alorah is missing. that girl is always lost.

Of course there was some red carpet even going on in LA that weekend. They rolled it out just for me. The Lupus walk was at the Colleseum at USC so we all went to eat after at an awesome restaurant called the Yard House. YUMMY! and this was going on just outside, it was some pre-emmy award stuff, the celebs were just showing up and we all looked busted so we took pics like freakin tourists and took off lol.

The girls. Linz, Leesha, Sharlene, Hanah. Celeste, Evelina, Leitina & Me. Telesoma & Rina are missing. Missed you girls!

At the hotel right before we left to go walking. All the girls got a hotel room so we good stay up til 4 a.m just reminisching and laughing and remember the ole days before we were all married with kids :) good times!
