Born Lucky

March is a month that has so many birthdays of people I love and adore.  My husb was born on St. Pattys day/.. I think its pretty fun for me and the kids because we do things green.. wish I took pictures of the past cakes ive made.. they looked better than they tasted lol this year I thought I would try this rainbow cake..  I hope I can make it look this beautiful and if it doesnt we can jus use this pix ha ha

My cousin Lita has her big 21 this year and shes also a st patricks day baby :) we are having a girls cousins dinner at Tuscanos and showering her with gift cards from her fav stores :) shes a sweet girl and has gone thru a lot with losing her mom and brother not too long ago... she reminds me of her mom, gorgeous :)

Feb? where does the year go

Whenever it gets to February Im always amazed by how fast time flies.. maybe because this month is (shouting)the shortest month of the year.. but (confidently) the best month ha ha
Black History Month ya'll.... no im not black but... I do think the history shared plays an amazing role in Americas History :)

Valentines Day... as my husband says, a day the greeting card companies made up to pick up sales.. :) 
Its all good because this allows me to buy myself a present or splurge, what does he get? its not a holiday to him :) ha ha  oh my I took a bite into a couple Sweet Tooth Fairy Cupcakes... Oreo is my fav! strawberry is the cutest 
My bday is comin up but so is presidents day ha ha cannot wait til the summer :)
oh and my sister had her baby boy last month.. almost lucky to be a feb baby ha ha hes sooo cute and pretty sure Im his fav aunt :)

Holiday Season

I know the Holiday Season is in full blast when the annoying traffic is filled with rude shoppers...ha ha I dont really like to shop... sorry do I sound like the Grinch? well green is one of my fav colors but noooo I promise I love Christmas actually all holidays but every year I try really hard to focus on the real meaning of Christmas... boy is it hard when Im telling people my lists of gifts I would like to receive :( bad ha...

This year we gave to a family... it was fun and what I really wanted to get out of Christmas... I always try to remember that when life gets confusing or hard to bear not only praying but serving others has brought me to rethink my priorities and maybe helps me out for the times when I'm all about me lol

Happy Holidays!

Love the Tongaonevai's

My lil Dancer

Ballet has come to an end this week.... it was really cool to see in the end how organized the ballet teacher(Miss Kim) conducted a class for little girls, she has fun yet productive ways of teaching the beginning ballet positions.(I know this because Im a professional ballet dancer ha ha)  I was surprised of how structured the class was being that it consisted of 3-4 year olds, but I liked it.  Miss Kim is a really good teacher and makes class fun while holding a consistent schedule that helps them become comfortable, pretty cool :)  I wondered what age was appropriate to start kids in organized activities but went ahead with it without much thought.. glad I did because she really enjoys it, earlier she played soccer and had a lot of fun ssssooooo here goes :)
A couple of the kids would run to their parents because they were so excited, and my daughter would give me a scowl if I was not on top of the picture taking ha ha

talk much?

So anyone know if theres an off switch, a power down button, a remote to mute? wow this kid talks my ears off all day and night til she falls asleep... Im pretty sure its our fault because we do encourage expression no matter the degree, kick me lol
On our way home from the the dr's office she randomly told me she loves the bishops office and wanted to make sure our new bishop knows how to spell her name? I said dont worry we can show him next time we see him.. then I asked why she loved it so much, it seemed cluttered to me lol she said it was quiet and nice unlike primary... and I asked how that made her feel... she said Happy :) ok no mute button today I guess ha ha

Go Utes! :)
