Trip to WA

Saki and Mere worn out the day we were to fly back home. . .


My parents and their close friends the Hoffman's went on a trip to Israel. I have babysat the Hoffman's since I was about 12 and consider them my brothers and sisters, so Saki and I went to watch them one week, and my older brother Robert watched them another week. . . We had a ball!!!!!!!! Had so much fun playing, catching up, clowning around, and eating good food :) The kids were so much fun, it's so odd to see them so grown up, only the 4 youngest are still at home, the older 2 boys are in UT and Nevada, one going to BYU and the other serving a mission. Unfortunately I didn't get a group photo--but here's some pictures.


on the airplane, she did well on the way to WA and on the way back she squealed pretty loud, the flight attendant said she would be the next american idol:)

Mother's Day

For mother's day Saki took me and Tima (his sister) out to a delicious mexican restaurant in Bountiful. Here we are with Tima, Tanner, and neice Brenna. On our way home we stopped to see Maina who is due about a month, and the Vuniwai's who head to Hawaii Monday!

We're back. . .

So we ordered a new power cord and our computer is now up and running--so grateful that's all it was! We got back from our trip to WA after 1 am on Thursday, and Saki's back to work. We had a marvelous time with the Hoffmans and Robert and Camille and will post photos soon--just be patient as I try to catch up on emails etc! Sunday will likely be the day I will do that (tomorrow).

DEAD COMPUTER

Just so you all know I'm not ignoring your emails or blogs and to apologize for a lack of posts for awhile---our computer died Friday, so our access to the internet will be limited for some time :( we will also be in WA the end of May, Saki will have his cell phone... Eliz
