~Alofa Tele~

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)

Ok so i totally had to go to get a full body massage with my sis Leesha it was sooo relaxing and so needed :) i felt amazing after

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!

So Many Changes....

Wow! It's been quite the journey being pregnant. Me and Kendra about 32 weeks here. I am due Nov 12 and she is also having a boy due date is Nov 5th.... just weeks apart. This was at my shower in LA 2 weeks ago. We both had our showers in Cali the same weekend and it worked out great that I we were able to go to each others since they were at diff times. heaps of fun! i miss that weather and the food and all the familiar spots, and of course family.
YAY FOR US HAVING BOYS!

Here we are about 24 weeks along

ok I had to post this!!!! like for reals is that not painful looking of what? poor thing! I wont complain anymore. i swell but not half as bad. good heavens this looks like it hurts huh?

Of course I remember I have a blog!!!

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!!

Ok ok so sorry for the 2 month delay on getting any updates! Sheesh summer months are so busy with activities, reunions, holiday festivities, parties, bbq's, showers, weddings and yada yada.........
I am over 6 1/2 months along and just so excited to meet my little boy. No we dont have any names picked out yet, some that we like and maybe I will add a poll question on the side bar to get our votes. Sorry I dont have a cute new ultra sound pic of baby Rock. I have a 3D one but honestly it looked kinda funny and almost scary, i wanted just a black and white one but i didnt think of asking. You will just have to imagine it for now. My belly is getting so big and i just feel so huge! I crave sweets and candy and ice cream along with crunchy foods yum! So whoever says that if you crave sweets and sugars its a girl, and if you crave salty/sour and starchy foods its a boy.... YOU ARE WRONG!!!! my latest fix has been ice cream sandwiches & almond snickers bars for breakfast! yep you heard me FOR BREAKFAST :) who cares dont judge me I take my prenatals so baby is getting the nutrients he needs OK!

Thanks hunny for taking this pic, I made him take like 8 diff pics and of course the guys will say they all look the same but i was trying to get an angle where i dont look like a freakin giant umpa lumpa!

We got a new kitchen table too! well it was a hand me down. Dude if its free its me! i love free gifts that are totally in great conditions. Thanks mom and dad Rock, it makes our house feel more like a home :)



I also got a new phone!!! Since i got home from the mish in 2006 i have upgraded twice now i love my new phone since i am a texter i got a key board feature. my last upgrade was to a camera phone. So from left to right is the birth and death of my phones! I love you Gizmo. yes i named my phone. Technology these days is impressive. We are so blessed.
oh man and we came home one morning and walked into this!!! our back door was busted. i was so scared. we stayed at our families house for the weekend in SLC and came home early morning and the house had a chill in it and was all drafty, i thought someone had broken into the house. My first thought was, what the??? of all the places to rob AGGIE VILLAGE wouldnt be MY first pick with all the broke college students lol, i mean unless you were trying to get away with some killer text books, lots of cereal, Top Ramen, & maybe some DVD's hahaha you are a dumb burglar! anyway it was just USU housing. They fixed it all for free. apparently someone was weed wacking and a rock flew thru the machine and shattered our glass. jeepers! at least leave us a note ya know! i was still a little freaked out. but i am over it.

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY MALIA GIRL***
SHE IS 1 YEAR OLD!
JULY 30TH.
I CANT BELIEVE SHE IS A YEAR!

Yummy Kings Hawaiian Paradise Cake! To die for! You haven't lived til you have tasted of this divine sweet treat. It's a guava passion fruit cream cake with spongey moistness & a cold layer of light whipped frosting, not too light, not too heavy.... JUST RIGHT! I miss LA Bakeries!

You are such a good girl!

Little Princess Mia on her special day :)

Ok the following pics were just from Sat Aug 1st. My hubby is so amazing! we bought a king size white sheet from walmart (the new one in providence-like we needed another walmart- I WANT A TARGET!) its a nice walmart. tied it up to the wall in our back yard, hooked up the projector, and POOF! our own big screen TV to watch movies and play Wii games! we are going to have a wii tourney soon so you are all invited.

We hung out with our awesome friends & neighbors the Lawrences & the Taylors. Ate some pop corn, cookies, raced mario cart, & watched star wars 5 :) i fell asleep but it was so much fun. w

YAY FOR OUR OWN HOME THEATER SYSTEM COURTESY OF LEVI & DAVE.
it was up in like 30 min.

I love my baby Chloie too! Such a cutie and lots of fun to play with. This was at levi's fam reunion BBQ lunch in West Point UT

Our Bear Lake Weekend with Dave & Chels.
OH MY GOSH OK FUNNY STORY......
When Levi and I were dating he kept talking about his jet ski and wanting to take me camping so he could show me how to ride a jet ski he said he had bought one for himself.... i was like wow, he bought his own jet ski, this kid must have some serious savings to by such a purchase and still be in school full time. either that or he has his priorities all mixed up.
So months pass and we finally go camping and we are packing the truck with his bro and sis and he takes me to the garage to show me his new jet ski and this is it........
a BLOW UP JET SKI!!! I laughed soooooo hard! this was totally Levi!
such a kid at heart. It squirts water and all! it has a motor and goes like 2 inches every 5 min LOL, it is actually loads of fun! it was $30 at Albertsons! Great purchase huh. we have had so much fun with it. it is hilarious watching the people around us stare at us grown adults trying to ride a little kid toy hahahaha but it holds like up to 250 lbs for reals.
I love our jet ski!

During the summer months there are tons of ward/student activities going on. This is just a random pic I made the girls take after our amazing enrichment activity. GREAT JOB PAIGE so much fun. I love the girls in my ward they are so sweet and giving and great examples. I'll have to post more later.
