This weekend has been quite the weekend. Talk about weirdo weather too! It was cold and rainy some days, but I'm glad it was nice, sunny, and warm yesterday. Fehi had to work all week (last week) at both jobs, so it was awesome when he was finally off on Friday from both jobs. On Friday morning my brother went back to Hawaii. He asked a few weeks ago for me to find him a ticket to go back so Friday he left. It was funny because we were both like "yes, we can just roam around our house freely" lol. We make jokes about it, but my brother knows we appreciate his being here to help us these past few months.
After dropping my brother off at the airport we went home and got changed, then went out to grab some lunch at Moe Betta Steaks though they can be a little pricey (for a big plate) we still love their food. After eating we went out to this place called Jump Around Utah. I had seen a deal on Groupon for half off admission for kids 3 years old and older. So we bought one pass for Moe ($5 with groupon, regular is $10) and Kesaia was only $4 (Parents are free). It was such a fun place for the kids, and they had SOOOOO much fun.
Saturday Fehi had to work, so it was just me and the kids. We attended the North Stake Seminary Graduation in support of Fehi's niece.
Our memorial day (yesterday) was spent at my Aunt Paea's house in Saratoga Springs. I had to work yesterday morning, but as soon as I got home, I fried up some chicken (to make pupu chicken) and then we got ready and headed out to Saratoga Springs. We were celebrating my little cousin's 16th birthday, and I so forgot to take pics lol.
As far as my pregnancy goes I am 34 weeks pregnant! Ahhh! When people ask how much longer I have, I tell them "In my head I have 3 more weeks" lol... For real though. I'm hoping this baby decides to come out at 37/38 weeks. And how come I seriously feel like I have a basketball (a heavy one) in my belly! ahahahaha. (Don't mind the bathroom pic lol).
I just had to post this cause it was awesome! I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary of working at Delta here in SLC, and I have to say that the people I work with are AWESOME. For months they had emails and postings about a flash mob, and invited us all to come out and learn the dances and participate. I didn't get a chance to do it because I've been busy with school and my family, but I love the end result and how they pulled it off! I recognize a lot of them, and even one of the trainers (the only man dancing at first)... I'm so gonna say something to him when I see him lol. I just hope there wasn't any delays while they had the flash mob, hahahha.. jk! ;)
Sorry lighting is bad in the pic, but at least u see the baby bump :)
At 33 weeks:
- I've gained 2 pounds since my last appointment (4 weeks ago), which means only a total of 7 pounds this pregnancy.
- Tummy is measuring correctly, it's where it should be.
- I'm still a CLEAN freak, I always feel the need to clean my house and keep it clean (not a bad thing right?)
- Baby boy still moves A LOT! I swear, he dances in my belly!
- Appetite has definitely decreased, I seem to snack rather than eat a full meal... I guess I just don't like to eat as much, it may be the lack of space for my stomach to expand lol, but on top of that I rather not deal with the heartburn and running to the bathroom all the time (cause I seriously have to use the bathroom once I start eating... I know totally weird lol).
- Soda cravings have gone dramatically down... and my wanting to chew ice has gone up (go figure! lol).
Overall, this pregnancy has been going pretty well, but I'm just ready to give birth. lol. I don't want to jinx myself (so no baby you're not allowed to come before 37 weeks), but I keep telling my self that maybe I only have 3 to 4 more weeks rather than 7 weeks left. lol. With my last two I gave birth early, Moe was 2 weeks early, and Kesaia was a week early... so I'm hoping that this pregnancy will follow in the same fashion. I still have a lot to do before baby comes though, I have to go through all baby moe's old baby clothes, wash them and leave em out for baby. I go back to work tomorrow morning (boo!) but just a few more weeks and I'll be off from work as well. I just hope I'm able to handle working with these last few weeks of my pregnancy. Just 4-5 more weeks (I hope! lol).
So I've been off from work since the 7th of this month and it's been AWESOME! Though I've been feeling like such a neat freak lately cleaning and what not (lets blame the pregnancy) but it's just been really nice to be home with the kids and my hubby. Today was especially fun because I took the kids out to Liberty Park. I could seriously live there... And the kids had so much fun playing in the water and running around.
After spending some time at Liberty Park we went and got some ice ream and then did a little shopping at Ross. I wanted to go and look for a cover for my iPad. Ahem... Yes I said "my" iPad. Lol. After getting my husband his iPad as an anniversary gift, he let me get one... And I told him how it makes so much more sense to have an iPad rather then my laptop... So we're thinking of selling our laptops and getting a Desktop (Mac of course). So I guess we'll wait and see but so far I'm LOVING my iPad! I do everything on it.. But I especially love it because I can do my scripture studies from it and also keep my notes and stuff on it too.
Anyhow, that was basically my mothers day gift. Mothers day for me was awesome! Though It did suck a little cause Fehi had to work, it still actually turned out to be good. For a long time we've been wanting to attend the English ward and on mothers day it was our first time going to that ward. It was so cute when I got Moe ready for church he told me "Mom I go temple ok?" Then I asked him, "Moe are you going on your mission?" and he said "Yeah mom I go temple and mission ok?" lol. Hes just the cutest lol. So anyways, the ward started at 1pm and usually Fehi works at 1:30pm, but thank goodness they changed his schedule that day and he didn't work until 2:30pm. So we were able to go to sacrament together then I dropped him off at work came back for the rest of church. I couldn't stop telling Fehi how much I LOVE this ward. Everyone was soooo nice and very welcoming. I had at least 10 people come up to me and ask what my name was and they introduced themselves.
On Tuesday I got to meet more of the sisters in our ward at our Relief Society activity. It was set up like "speed dating" but instead you were meeting other sisters. It was really fun, and we got to eat some yummy icecream sundaes afterwards.
Fehi and I have been really trying to instill the gospel more in our family, especially with our kids. So I'm glad I was able to get this time off to kind of concentrate on that. On Monday we had FHE and did a short little lesson with our kids on prayer. Kesaia was really good about it and helped out with leading the opening snd closing songs and singing as well as saying the prayers... Moe on the other hand was rowdy and acting like a typical 3 year old boy lol.
My vacation is coming to an end and I go back to work next thursday but I've definitely enjoyed my time off. I've been able to get my house in order (somewhat lol) and also spend some much needed time with my kids, doing activities with them that they enjoy. We should be in Hawaii but I decided to stay... well for a number of reasons, main one being because I dont want to fly right now being 32 weeks pregos and all. But i dont regret it, cause I've enjoyed doing things with the kids. So for the rest of my vacay I've made it a goal to do fun things that the kids would love to do and also get more time with daddy (when he's not working). So tomorrow is another day and I think it'll be another day at liberty park for the kids, maybe do a picnic as well. :) goodnight!

So Yesterday (May10th) was our 4 year anniversary. :) Every year on our anniversary my husband always brings me home breakfast from none other than Dee's lol. He knows that I love the croissant breakfast sandwich and cheese fries from there. :) So I woke up to a wonderful breakfast and a bag full of my prego goodies (donuts & chocolate lol).
After breakfast I got ready and started off my day with a mani/pedi at my fav. nail salon (A+ Nails). I always get my mani (full-set) from a guy named Tyson. He's seriously does the best job with my nails, and they always last super long! Now the one who did my pedi.. ummm.. No comment. lol. Lets just say I won't go to her the next time, and I'll save the embarrassment of posting her pic. lol.
So anyways, after doing my mani & pedi, I did some errands and went to get Fehi's gift. I mentioned a few posts ago that I was thinking about getting him an iPad for our anniversary.Well I kept going back and forth about it, and yesterday I finally just got it for him. :)
I actually made a video/slideshow of pictures for him, and I uploaded it on the iPad to show him. I wasn't sure how I was going to give him his gift, so I decided to give it to him right before we left for dinner. I told him I had to show him something, and then I pulled the iPad out and played the slideshow I made for him. It was funny because he took it but looked at it, and was like "Whose iPad is this??" and I told him "It's yours!" :) And he was just like "For real?!?!" hahahahaha... He was so happy and he loved the slideshow I made for him. (My husband loves to walk down memory lane, so he loved all the pictures and stuff.)
Here's the slideshow I made for him:
The song in the background is "Beautiful As You" by Wayne Brady & Jim Brickman.This song is special to me (us) because when I came up for the B&W ball,Fehi had left me for a second to hand the DJ a cd. This song came on, and he asked me to dance. We slow danced, and he sang to me in my ear.. And he talked to me and we made it official that night.
After giving him his gift, we got dressed and headed out. We had dinner reservations at the The Roofrestaurant on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was so nice, and the view of the temple was beautiful!
not my picture, got it off google images, but this is basically what our view was like.. :)
It was funny though because we were both like "Wow this is so.. elegant." And because it's a buffet, I'm so use to just grabbing a couple plates, but it was so formal that we were like "Maybe we should just get one plate at a time." lol The food was so YUMMY, but just being able to just talk was even better. We got to catch up on a lot of things, and just bask in our love for each other ;)
After dinner we headed over to gateway, then decided to go home and change into something more comfortable.
Me & My Baby Bump
Just killing time while Fehi got changed...
After we got changed we decided to drive up to where our eternity started.. the Bountiful Temple...
It was so wonderful to sit and reminisce the day we got sealed in the temple. When we got up to the temple Fehi read a letter he wrote for me. :) It was just so lovely and wonderful. We were able to think about our past 4 years, our goals, and our future goals and plans. We decided that we would make it a tradition to set different goals for ourselves, our marriage, and our family so that the next anniversary we can look back and know we accomplished our previous goals.
I'm so in love with my husband, and am grateful for all he does. I know he knows it, but I've made it my personal goal to make sure he knows and feels it everyday of our marriage.
Oh and if your wondering why there's no pics of him, well he was a little camera shy lol.
