New Years....

 Our first set of Holidays in Nevada are almost done. New years is tomorrow and instead of work and cooking to spend time together than driving up to Wailuku Heights to take in all the fireworks that gets lit at 12 we are going to a rodeo. Guess its not legal to have fireworks at home and they listen here. LOL. So Im thinking of all the things I want to accomplish in 2025 and I am already exhausted just thinking about it. Goals for myself personally could take up this entire page. Seriously speaking.  (Side note... Kinda weird to not insert an emoji since im on a desktop. ) Heres a recap of our holidays so far: Halloween : We got to hand out candies to the keiki in our neighborhood or to who ever came around. And honestly not so many children came around. Even the big kids. Guess maybe because it was a freeze your olos off kinda night.  Thanksgiving: Kaipo and Davin came and spent fall break with us. Since they are only a few hours away and in college. One of their classm...

Maui To Nevada!!!!

 I randomly think about this blog when I long for a time when things where simple. When my day was work and picking up my babies.... Today they are 19 and 16!!! I am completely mind blown. How I wish that I was able to have kept up with this blog to be able to give me a glimpse into our past and relive some of the most precious days of our lives.  Right now I am currently sitting in Nevada thousands of miles away missing a simple time in my life. Guess because things here in Nevada has been a bit on the struggle bus side of life. Things aren't horrible just different. Adjusting to weather and finances and just way of life here is so different. Again not horrible just different.  After the Lahaina fire and impact that it had on our business and lively hood we decided that it was time for something different.... And oh man did we surely get that! Not horrible.... just different. I feel like a sh** head some times. So many simple things that I can say that I took for granted...

Well.. Its been a minute!

Wow talk about a quick heartattack! I havent been on here since 2011 when I had a bit more practice at html codes ;) thanks myspace lol Anywayssss I jumped on here to edit my layout and do a quickie update. Lets just say I got a little carried away and not to mention trying to do it ever so quickly as the kids want to get to the park. So anyways as im click away and editing I hit preview and realize my "Tresilla Says" section is gone! My heart fell and instanly started to get teary eyed. It was gone. My cute little girls craziness that I kept safe here not doing anything wrong was gone. So now I am clicking a million miles per hour while saying a prayer and trying to figure where it went and by the Grace of God I was able to find how to undo my doings. Guess it shows some time we all just need to slow down and take a breather, ask for Gods help and pray. I will surely be back to update.

How Do You....

I try my best to explain to Tresilla about where my Grandmothers are, and thbat would be in Heaven. I try my best and even asked her Religion teacher for help. Some days i myself am not strong enough to talk about the lost of my Grandmothers. Well what sparked this up..... tonight we bumped into a woman that looked like my Grandma Shirley. Tresilla noticed and said to me "mom i want the real Popo Lady back". I swear my heart fell to the floor and broke into a least a million tiny peices. Its almost 3 years that shes been gone and the pain feels so new. My other grandma, Mama Donna will be with our father for 2 years in May. Man oh Man how time flies. I miss my to Grandmothers so much. Miss you and Love you both Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

The Grapefruit Syndrome

By Lola B. Walters Lola B. Walters, "The Grapefruit Syndrome", Ensign, Jan. 2011, 12–13 Close Audio As a young wife, I learned that the taste of marriage could be sweeter if I didn’t focus on my husband’s faults. My husband and I had been married about two years—just long enough for me to realize that he was a normal man rather than a knight on a white charger—when I read a magazine article recommending that married couples schedule regular talks to discuss, truthfully and candidly, the habits or mannerisms they find annoying in each other. The theory was that if the partners knew of such annoyances, they could correct them before resentful feelings developed. It made sense to me. I talked with my husband about the idea. After some hesitation, he agreed to give it a try. As I recall, we were to name five things we found annoying, and I started off. After more than 50 years, I remember only my first complaint: grapefruit. I told him that I didn’t like the way he ate grapefrui...

So Much To Update

So Lets See.....

Where have we been? Its almost been a year since that last post. And so much yet so little has happen. Besides the usual work for me and the hubby... the girls are growing like weeds. Tresilla is soooooo smart. With all her little remarks she so reminds me of a little Dela. Tresilla hit the BIG 5. Being able to hold up a entire hand when asked your age is a HUGE thing for her. Oh and does she let me know. Also being in Kindergarten her responsibilities have just added and added up. From homework to knowing she needs to help with her kitty. She has been completely and totally into taking pictures and dancing. Im not to sure if I will be able to keep up with her. Shes so passionate towards everything that she does. And I hope that never changes. The spark in her eyes I know she will be doing big things. And surely keep me and Treston on our toes. Taqorrie is speaking alot clearer. Loves Loves Loves to SING. Its completely adorable! Shes growing into her own little girl. Almost ...
