Our Boys
Best Friends
Giving his dad attitude .. this kid has alot of it

With Stephens work trips to Asia and Europe quickly sneaking up on us, we decided it was important for us to take the boys out for a day of fun.
Turned out to be a long few hours.
Koa was tired, so he whined and cried pretty much the entire time.
Mana is our good little boy, he enjoyed all of it, and was so good lloking and listening.
While on the train, I looked down at my hand, and found that my ring was missing its diamond.
Very sad about that.

So ... June

Yep, my blogging sucks.
But here is a summarized May/June 2009.
We were lucky enough to have a surprise visit from Stephen's mom, so we got some pictures of her with the boys as her mothers day present.
It was a very brief visit, but we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sanae took the pictures and did and amazing job, check her out http://www.sanaejamesphoto.com/, she is AWESOME !!



Early June, Mana started having trouble breathing one day, it was like he was sucking in air.
After watching him get progressively worse.
We took him to the ER about midnight, they checked his breathing, gave him a couple of breathing treatments, and decided to keep him in overnight for observation.
We found out Mana had an asthma attack and because his asthma attack came on so quickly, we have to be cautious.
We havent had any repeat episodes, which is a relief, and he seems to be fine now.




Koa is getting bigger and darker.
He is a sweet little boy, not like Mana at all.
He is always smiling, and he's a shy, little guy.


Vanz moved back to New Zealand,
She stayed with us for a few weeks before she left, and we miss her.
Life is alot quieter. HAHA Vanz.

Us at Stan and Lee Moleni's
Mana at Wingers for the farewell dinner
Travis Uale got married, and the Uales came to town.
Stephen took some much needed time off to kick it with his boys.

In other news, my dad is in Australia and Koa misses him .. alot.
Koa has been looking for him at the house, so I'm wondering if he wont like my dad when he comes back ... hahaha sorry dad.
Well, would love to say my blogging will get better, but it probably won't.

HCG Week 3

Well, yesterday was my last day actually taking the HCG, but I still have to do the 500 calorie no fat, carbs or sugar thing for 3 days just til all the HCG is out of my system.


So I lost a total of 25 pounds .. a bunch of inches everywhere.

I am by no means skinny, but I feel a TON (literally) better.


I've had more energy, and enjoyed watching the scales go down each morning.


For the next 3 weeks I am on Atkins, and supposedly I am going to learn how to be able to eat whatever I want, without gaining weight, but we will test that theory I'm sure.

For now though, I'm excited to use lotion, my skin is disgustingly dry and cracked.
Definitely worth it though ..23 days, 25 pounds down ... sweet.

Week 2 HCG

Down 19.5 pounds .. I think most of it is the baby weight coz its pretty hard to lose some of that stomach weight after a C-Section ..

Feeling good, any-one who decides to do it, do it.
Its well worth it!

One more week to go
