Disney on Ice - Mickey's Magical Journey

So it's become like a little family tradition of ours to go to Disney on Ice every single time they come in town... it's just something fun that our boys enjoy! Well, they were here again, this time it was Mickey's Magical Journey.... and this time it was just me and the boys: Makai, Mone and Samiu....we usually drive down and park right across the street, but this time I thought it would be better to take the trax to the ESA and not have to pay for parking....I must say, that will be the way we do it from now on. The boys all thought they were so cool riding on the train, and I didn't have to drive. A plus for all of us. We got there and of course had to buy some treats and stuff, so by the time we got settled in, we were a little late...but it was all good! They did Lilo and Stitch, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Lion King and of course Mickey and his crew....here are a few photos!

Gone Swimmin'

In one of my earlier posts, I explained the troubles we've been having with Ova's health. Well, after switching medications several times the doctor's finally prescribed something that has been helping. He's now taking an anti-inflamatory steroid and he's finally able to walk around the house with his crutches. He's been pretty much bed ridden since November, so I'm ecstatic that he's finally moving around again. The doctor mentioned that he needs to exercise his joints so he can strengthen them, but what kind of exercise can someone do that can't hardly move? SWIMMING! It's the perfect solution because he can get the exercise he needs while not putting unnecessary pressure on his joints. Since then, we've been going to the rec center everyday to swim. Sometimes we go with the kids, and sometimes we just go alone. Here are some pictures of the last time we went with the kids....

~Oranges~

Auntie Pisila brought a whole box of Arizona Oranges, they were so SWEET and DELICIOUS! The kids LOVED them and the whole box was gone in a week... Hey, at least it's a good source of vitamin C and it's good for them.... hahaha

WALKING WITH DINOSAURS

I got to take my boys to the walking with the dinosaurs that came to town and it was so much fun! I bought the cheapest seats which, of course were in the super duper nose bleeds up all the way against the top wall, but it was so much fun! The dinosaurs looked real, they were HUGE and they sounded so real. It was funny because Makai said "Mom, thanks for getting our seats all the way up here because if we were lower they would eat us" I just laughed and went along with it.

These ones were Makai's favorites:




These ones were Filimone's favorites:





And here is the T-Rex. My boys were scared of him because he was SOOOO loud, but I thought he was pretty cool!!


And of course some pictures of them with their treats, and them being silly during the intermission!!

FALLin in love with my handsome boys

Here are some pictures of my boys in their new sweaters....It was a beautiful day outside with all the red and orange leaves falling off the trees so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get some pictures of my kids....

Getting ready for church...

Makai & Mone's cousin Joey slept over on Saturday night and these are just some random pictures of all the boys ready for church. Don't they look so handsome with their shirts and ties??

HAPPY EASTER

All the Fangupo cousins kickin it together on Easter Sunday. We love our family bbq's!

Beautiful Cancun Mexico

In February 2008 we took another family vacation to Cancun, Mexico. It was so nice and clean and warm! It was actually one of the cheapest vacations we've taken because we found a nice all inclusive resort for like $69 a night (kids were free) and it included all the food and drinks and activities. I think we're a bunch of beach bums because we always go towards the warm sun and the sandy beaches. We stayed at the hotel Flamingo which was right across the street from Margaritaville....they were bumpin their music all night long! The views were amazing! Cancun is a little strip of island so you have a perfect view of the beach and ocean from anywhere you are. We took a million pictures, but I just put a few of them in these two collages so you can get a taste of our trip to Cancun. The pictures on the top are from when we took a little boat ride to the isla de mujeres, it was just a little island off of Cancun that was surrounded by white sandy beaches. The top left corner was the view of the beach from our room....if you are pondering on a vacation spot.....we HIGHLY recommend this spot! It gets a 10!

H*A*W*A*I*I

We took a little family trip to Hawaii this past December. We actually were planning on going to Cabo, but when we got to the airport, they wouldn't let me travel because my passport was in my maiden name. We were pretty bummed, but since we were already at the airport, we decided to just go to Hawaii instead (that's the luxury of working for the airlines....you can just jump on a plane to wherever you want :-) We were only there for like 3 days, but we had so much fun! We spent the whole time eating and playing at the beach...isn't that the best way to vacation! Here is a collage of pictures I put together so you can see how much fun we had!! We love our little family vacations!

My Boys

Like I mentioned, I have two handsome little boys that keep me very busy. My oldest son, Makai is 4 years old. He's the sweetest little boy who cares about everyone. He's going to preschool right now and he absolutely loves it! He comes home everyday with all the little projects he makes, and all the pictures he colors and he's so proud..... I must say though, we are pretty proud of him too. He's such a good older brother and is very protective of his baby brother (even though he's probably the one that needs protecting because Filimone's a bully.) He's our little helper and we're so happy to have him!

Filimone is our high maintenance baby boy. It's funny how completely different they are. Makai is so nice and Filimone is a little brat. He's got the attitude and is always getting himself into trouble. The problem with that is that he's only 18 months and he's already got attitude. He sure does make us laugh though with the things he does. He LOVES to dance and it doesn't matter what type of music is playing, he's dancing. His hair is so long and curly and wild, just like his personality. He sure does keep us on our toes, and we're so happy to have him!
