Our Sweet Ka'Taia is Here!!

Our newest grand baby, Ka'Taia Saili Fuller, 4lbs 5oz, 16.5" and born December 14th at 11:09pm. What a blessing, small but healthy and strong. This little girl was not waiting for a doctor to bring her into the world, she came out all by herself.
I can not believe she is here. Her story is filled with blessings from the moment we found out Stac was pregnant to how she entered the world. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan and we are not to second guess what he has in store for us. I don't think any of us would have guessed we would have another baby in this family before Christmas or for years to come because Stac has been so sick. I know that she is a miracle and has a purpose to be here at this time. I know that she is here to teach us all that Heavenly Father has his own timing.
First picture with mom and dad:-)

Don's 2 Year Weight Loss

Wow a 4X almost 5X shirt and a 54 pant. I can't believe this was how big he was. I never cared about him being big until he was unable to do the things he loved:-(
Now he is in a M/L shirt and a 34 pant. The best thing is he is so happy. I know he might gain a little back but as long as I am here he will never get to that point again. I rather say something then see him go through all pain that 360lbs gives to you. So thankful to have my husband back:-)

Gingerbread Houses 2011:-)

Cute Megan and Abbie with their house. I love how creative they were. They made an igloo out of marshmellows. I love them so much:-)
Kaili with her cute house. She loves putting detail with whatever she makes.
Then we have Kee'Onu with his. I know he is getting a little too big to want to do this but he does it for me. I would have put everyone on my blog but I didn't want to take forever...lol...What a blessing they all are to me. I am so lucky!!!

Thanksgiving 2011

My 3 cute kids. I love when they are together nothing makes a mother so happy. I have so much joy when I see them all laughing together.
Me, Kya, Stac and our sweet soon to be Taia. So thankful. Our family has been through so much this year and a baby always makes things feel a little better.
Kaili, stop growing up!!! She doesn't wear makeup yet but her and Ipo were just playing oh wait "Hanging Out" right girls???
My cute son-in-law and grandsons. I will have 6 grand daughters and only 2 grand sons. I always thought it would be the opposite. I love my family so much!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

I love these girls so much. 11 years old already, what a fun age. They are 3 days a part so every year I take them both to dinner and a shopping spree. I hope they will continue to love being with each other.
They had to wear what they bought. Their taste is a little different, which I love. I pray they will always hold their love for each other as something so special. Don't get me wrong they fight but that happens when we are close to someone:-)

New York, New York

Don, Brans, Stac, Kev, and Ipo went to New York the end of Sept. I stayed with the kids. Brans has been there about 8 times and he loves it. Stac and Kevin this was their 3rd time and it was Don and Ipo's first time. They all want to go back.
Stac and Ipo doing some shopping. They surprised Ipo with a visit to the American Doll store. She was so excited all I heard from Brans about it was what great smoothies they had. So there is something for everyone...LOL

Happy Halloween!!!

What a great Halloween we had. We had chili, breadsticks, and a lot of other yummy things. The best part was everyone was together. Brans always buys the full size candy bars and he better never stop because everyone plans on those every year:-)
I loved the weather for the kids, as you can see Kaili has short sleeves.
