IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!!

2010 is almost GONE!!   

So much has happened these past months and I regret not taking any record of it in my journal or my blog.  =(  Figured to jot Christmas down before 2010 is over and I forget!

Here's the Kaufana kiddos Christmas highlights...

Koloi (15 months old)- more into the wrapping paper than the toys...he kept rolling in it all morning as the other kids unwrapped their gifts and wasn’t so happy when we had to clean it up…he actually threw a fit…soooo, we left him to be happy in the mess of wrapping paper. Tons of toys sat around as this kid played with the wrapping paper! Clean up was done once Koloi took a nap.

Drew (2 ½ yrs old)- couldn’t sleep out of excitement on Christmas Eve…he helped Beanie put out the cookies and milk. Kids were knocked out and Drew kept comin’ down the stairs to peek at the tree. I put him back in his bed and later found him asleep on the stairs…lol! He was ecstatic at the fish tank that lights up and had a lil’ Beta fish and a lil’ froggy inside. He kissed Santa’s face off the wrapping paper a hundred times! It was too cute! Bean asked him to name his frog and fish and their official names are, “Froggy” and “Fishy!” =)

Beanie (9 yrs old) - my easily amused child asked Santa for some fuzzy socks, a Christmas mug w/ a lid and a mini Children’s songbook so she could have her own in primary like her friend Teisa. Simple as that! Good thing she pointed out the exact Christmas mug she wanted when we were at Kohls a few days before. She loved that a bike, skinny jeans and Vans (shoes) also came that Christmas day…the bike being from her Uncle Bobo! He rocks!

Ala (11yrs old)- this kid has been on the fence about whether Santa is real or not. The kids had gotten up before mom & dad of course. They had already divided out their gifts and Ala found he only had two to open and then one bigger gift that said, “To: Kaufana Kids   From: Santa.” His 1st gift was a couple of slacks for school. He said, “cool” sarcastically and threw them over his shoulder. His 2nd gift he opened was a video game...a sports one.  Ala was confused because we had no sort of video game system.  Then he caught where the game said it was for the Xbox 360 Kinect. His eyes almost popped out of his face and he yelled, “Open that big box for the Kaufana family! HURRY!!”…lol….the gift was unwrapped in seconds and sure enough it was the Kinect! First thing he yelled was, “Santa lives YO! My mom & dad can’t afford that!” Bahahahah! He then took the Xbox Kinect in his arms and sang Mariah Carey’s, “All I want for Christmas is YOU!” No kidding, he sang the WHOLE first verse and the chorus with emotions and all….OH MY GOODNESS!! It had us cracking up!

Later that morning we all gathered at Gma & Gpa’s house. Sister Tuaone happened to call just as we were starting. Pops put her on speaker and she gave us a spiritual Christmas message on the birth of Christ. We were all in tears. It was so good to hear her voice…she brought such a special spirit. The grandkids had their gift exchange and us adults had white elephants…my favorite was my brother Marty’s gift. A hot chocolate mug that had 3D glasses inside with a note that said somethin’ like, “Some shades to keep you lookin’ COOL while this mug keeps you feelin’ HOTT!” Dad got that gift. I think Justin overdid his “white elephant” by giving an iPod…(seriously honey?) I gave a Snuggie.  Justin & the older ones headed to the Kaufana family feast, while the babies and I cleaned up and rested.  Then the rest of the day was spent w/most of the fam on the Kinect, eating and sleeping...good times!

Eat This, Not That!

At work we've got a Biggest Loser contest going.  I think it's pretty cool, it's company-wide and to get us all motivated we started out with a BANG!  $300 is the top prize to the male and female who loses the most.  $200 to 2nd place male and female and $100 to 3rd place.  Free pedometers were given to each associate and then we were told we were each getting a free Stairmaster too!  The catch?  We have two stairwells on both sides of our bulding and EVERYONE gets to use them!  LOL!  I've joined and have totally enjoyed the past three weeks of a healthier me! =)  We are to wear our pedometers each day and we win prizes from time to time if you've walked a certain amount of steps.  Daily emails go out of tips for exercise and also recipes for healthier meals. I thought to share this one below.  These Biggest Loser contests are happening everywhere! Good Luck to ALL of you!

These days, you can’t buy much for a buck. So it’s not surprising that Americans are drawn to fast-food value menus—and why chains like McDonald's are on the short list of companies expected to thrive in the tanking economy.


But while a $3 dinner sounds like a great deal, it comes with an added health cost. The wrong combination of cheap foods can easily add up to more than 1,000 calories and a whole day's worth of fat. The end result? Let’s just say you’ll have a lot more than a fat wallet to squeeze in to your pants.

The good news is that a number of restaurants have recognized diners desire to cut costs and added healthier options to their dollar menu. Here are five fast-food lunches that will keep you well under budget—in fat and calories, and dollars and cents. Just click on the links below.

MARCH MADNESS!

No, not the NCAA...this month my family has had our own "March Madness!"  Here's it all in a nutshell...i don't want to forget any of this so hopefully I remember everything!

March 6, 2010
My lil' brother Marty aka "Dino" got married!  This is Marty and his beautiful bride, Alisi Mahanusu Tuaone...his dear love of over 4 years.  It was such a fun wedding!  Love them and I LOVE my new SIL!  She's great!  They are expecting in June!  This will be grandbaby #16!  YAY!
Ala, Bobo and Renzo were Dino's lil' groomsmen.  Cute huh?
March 7, 2010
Sienna & Sani Mapa's baby blessing.  Baby #2 for these guys.  We went to the blessing where he was blessed by his grandpa.  Grandma Numa bore her testimony and so did Mace.  Yes, Mace was here from Louisiana!  I love our Kaufana family. 

March 10, 2010
My sister Toree's special Temple Day!  Toree aka Sister Tuaone went through the Timpanogas Temple.  It was such an AMAZING experience to experience thsi with my little sister!  All who attended the session: Mom & Dad, Me & J, Joe & Lomes, Ana Lahi, Lupe, Seni, Oti,  Vai (Kika's mom), Lilo Kinikini and Vika Moli.  Ake Hamilton and Nia Netane did baptisms and afterwards we all went to eat at Chuck-A-Rama with these peeps and all the rest of our immediate family. (It was freezing this day, so notice how much Toree is struggling to pose for this picture...hahaha!)
March 11, 2010
I won 4 VIP tickets to Disney on Ice.  Work schedules didn't cooperate, so Uni took Bean, Princess and Kalo (Evz sister).  They had a blast...I gotta get a hold of those pics and post them here.


March 17, 2010
St. Patty's day!  Siblings night out!  Me, Hyrum, Joe, Jr., Marty, Toree, Uni, Brenda, Diana and Pou all went out for the last time before Toree leaves to FL. Thanks to our spouses for takin' one for the team and watching all the kiddos!  JAZZ vs. Timberwolves.  Jazz sported their green throwbacks. We killed those Twolves!  Tons of FUN.  Junz, Dino and Pou got buckwild at the game gettin' us siblings along with the peeps around us all riled up!  Made up our own cheers with every shot!  Afterwards we went to Dees to eat. The sister missionary has all the pics on her camera...I'm sad I didn't download them before she left.  Here are some of my phone pics though... 



March 18, 2010
Temple day with Toree to the Salt Lake temple.  I took a week off work to spend time with Toree. We went with mom and dad.  Another AMAZING experience. Went to eat at Tucanos for lunch...YUM!
Later, Lomes, Maka and I went to Costco to shop up for the whole weekend's menu.  We ended up buying so much they talked us into the Executive membership.Gotta love Costco

March 19-21, 2010:  Sister Tuaone Mission Festivities
My brother Marty took the initiative and prepped this whole weekend for Toree.  He organized it and ran the whole thing.  He'd tell us what was needed and we did it!  The older brothers kept calling him a "rookie", but BOY did he do an awesome job!  Preparation = A Smooth Sailing Weekend 


Friday. Toree's Farewell Dance.Decorations at this dance were OFF the CHAIN!  Marty and his boys with the creative ideas of Paul and Banana were sure appreciated.  They decorated the night before this event.  Pictures will be posted as soon as I get them.  MC Pete was our DJ...LOVE HIM! SILs did the refreshments which were DELISH!  Place got packed...our family, our ward, our friends, Toree's provo peeps too!  Fun times. Somebody got mafana (hyped up) and wore the Florida flag around herself!  LOL!
Saturday.  Temple session at SLC.  Sports day.  Volleyball and Basketball.  BBQ held afterwards in the pavilion.  Home to cook up the feast for the following day. 
Sunday. Farewell program in Provo.  Toree singles ward.  Provo 7th. 11am it started.  My good friend from ADP, Wayne Tarawhiti conducted the meeting.  Pretty neat that he's in Toree's bishopric.  The whole stake presidency attended.  Kakala Netane (one of Toree's BFFs) sang, "Teach Me to Walk in the Light."  Toree spoke.  Choices she made in her life that got her to where she is now. The spirit was so strong.  She is so ready!  We were also blessed with a member of the high councilmen and his family.  Darrin and Manu Harris! Taina's best friend!  Small world huh?  Manu sang. I bawled through the whole song.  Closing remarks by Pres. Makai...a WONDERFUL man!  Love him. The whole program was PERFECT!
A luncheon followed in the cultural hall.  We took our places in the kitchen to set up.  We fed the whole ward along with all our family and friend who drove out to Provo to be with us on this special day.
March 22, 2010
Last FHE with Sister Tuaone.  Just the immediate family at mom & dads.  Another emotional and very spiritual meeting.  Toree asks that the one thing she asks is that we watch over her "kids"...all her nieces and nephews who she SPOILS!
March 23, 2010

The sisters go for ONE LAST TIME to lunch...wherever Toree chooses. What do ya know?  SIMPLY SUSHI!  But of course!  LOL!  She's gonna kill me for posting this pic! HAHAHA!  Here she is with her KING KONG sushi...MMMMM!
Later that evening, we all went up to the Provo stake center where Toree was set apart.  Our whole family met there at 6:30.  Aunty Sela came with Ana. Kika and lil' Malia. Joe & Mia attended too.  We had a testimony meeting with President Makai.  He let each of us bear our testimonies.  Toree was then set apart and blessed by Pres. Makai and she was officially Sister Tuaone.  She then bore her testimony and it ended with Pres. Makai.  We went to eat at Chuck-A-Rama again.  (Boy, have we eaten ALOT!)  I was her companion from the time until she reported to the MTC the next day. Kika came back to the house and we were all up packing to ensure Sister Tuaone had all she needed.  I should say Kika did most of the packing.  Love that girl too. 
March 24, 2010
MTC.  We all headed up to Provo.  I swear I've driven up to Provo more this past week than I ever had in my LIFE!  haha!!  We aren't able to go into the MTC anymore, so we met up at the chapel next to the MTC to have some breakfast and spend our last few minutes with Sister Tuaone.  Ok, I'm getting emotional now and my eyes are watery.  Here's where our goodbyes were said.
  After the goodbyes were said.  Dad and I took Sister Tuaone to the MTC. Mom had a mandatory training and couldn't make it. Dad was having quite a hard time at this point and trying his best not to show it, but it was obvious.  OKAY...ME TOO!  Took her luggage inside and checked her in.  Last hugs were given.  *tears* How I love this girl!
COUGAR TOWN!
After the MTC.  Kika (Toree's BFF) took all through Provo.  Mostly BYU campus.  Love that place. Ran into one of our MOST FAVORITE COUGS!  If you are a Cougar fan like me and you don't know who this is, then you should be ashamed!
There was some "Open Mic" time in the Cafeteria/Food court at BYU.  Kika put Uni and Marty on the spot...they sang one of Peter Kinkini's songs...then Marty ended with Bob Marley's, "Redemption Song."  I'm trying to find how to link the video of him singing, but can't figure it out!  I was quite impressed since he doesn't ever sing in front of a crowd with his guitar...no kinda practicing or prepping, but he did it!  I thought he was GREAT!  After leaving BYU campus, we grabbed some lunch and headed up to the canyons to eat.  It was a good good day!!

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

Nope...not Christmas!!  FEBRUARY!!  I love this ENTIRE month!  I am so GIDDY when this month comes along...it's my MOST favorite time of the year!  Yes, my birthday is in this month and Valentines is my most favorite holiday!  I know at least one person who has a birthday almost every day this month except for February 5th, 18th and 27th...how cool is that!  February babies ROCK!!  This past week has been AMAZING spending it with 2 of my most FAVORITE people and their hubbies!!

TWIG, NANCY, VEE
Our Valentines celebration started early!  Twig and Spence hooked it up with tickets to the Jazz vs. Lakers game.  My favorite part...the VIP dinner up on the top floor....All-You-Can-Eat....the BEST food! 

My husband is going to kill me for posting this part....but he had been so excited that we got there quite early!  5:30pm to be exact...LOL!  The rest of our crew got there a half hour later.  I snapped a few shots of the place while we were waiting. 

This was our crew.  Larkins, Bloomfields, Kaufanas and supposed to be the Tahis (Felika & Mapu)...baby got sick, so Felika stayed home and Mapu brought our good friend Johnny Hamilton! 

The fellahz gettin' ready to head down to the game.  Those Laker fans came all decked out didn't they?

 I got a pic with the biggest Jazz Fan of the game who made the Jumbo Tron!  I loved his poster...LOL!
So our Jazz lost BIG TIME and I was bummed because Kobe Bryant didn't play either...but, Deron Williams did! Hot Stuff!!  It was such a great night!  Great company, delicious food and good fun!!

The whole weekend was spent with my Twiggy, Nance and the hubbies!  Nancy & David live in AZ and fly down often, but we hardly ever get to hang out, so last Sept/Oct we had planned this time out to be together.  People say the three of us seem so different individually, but when we get together ya can't tell any difference nor could you ever get us apart!  =D  The three of us can go on and on for hours choppin' it up, laughing, crying and reminiscing.  I absolutely LOVE them and consider them my Best Friends! 

Below is a picture of our daughters...I sure hope they'll become just as close!

Kuilina Larkin, Beanie Kaufana, Nina Bloomfield

Sister In Zion

Granger 8th Relief Society has a service project every month of the year.  January started out GREAT!  Volunteer work at one my most favorite stores...Deseret Industries!  Some of us were out on the sales floor and some stayed in the back prepping all the wonderful donations to sell. 
 I love these wonderful women in our ward!

Tallahassee Take Me Away!

My little sister Toree was called to serve in the Florida, Tallahassee mission. She reports to the MTC on March 24th....that's less than 2 months away.

Mom & Dad knew she was preparing and working on her papers for the mission. They thought she still had a few dental appointments, so when this white envelope came in the mail this past Wednesday, they were SHOCKED, yet so happy! She's only our 2nd missionary to leave out of us 11 kids and it's been over 10 years since the last missionary, so it was beyond HAPPINESS! I love seeing my parents on cloud nine....I love even more that Toree has made this decision to serve.
This pic is right after Toree read her mission call, she was so choked up, so mom finished reading it. Yes, mom is holding a mic...hahaha! The house was PACKED so we had people around the whole house and wanted to be sure everyone could hear. But, I love this picture so much, look at how proud my dad is! I was so choked up myself and held myself away from Toree that night or I would've just LOST it! Meanwhile, everyone else got to hug her and take pics...here's our future missionary with Justin, Ala and Drew.
So, I've never told Toree this, but when she left home for college, it was quite hard for me. For the first few months, whenever she'd come visit and leave again, I cried in my own secrecy. If you know Toree and I, then you know our closeness and I seriously count her as one of my own.
Heavenly Father must know my struggle at this time and wants to be sure I'm prepared emotionally for when she leaves. I noticed this song playing almost every time I turned the radio on in the car or at work these past few days. I realized it was a message for me about Toree and serving the Lord. Well, that's how I take it anyway...and it has certainly comforted me. Toree's mission covers northern Florida and ALL of southern Alabama...she's gonna get some of that southern cookin'! Anyway, this song really clicked for me. It's by the Dixie Chicks called, "Cowboy take me away." I've got the lyrics below and replaced "Cowboy" with "Tallahassee." It may sound silly to anyone else, but to me, it makes perfect sense!

I said I wanna touch the earth, I wanna break it in my hands.
I wanna grow something wild and unruly.
I wanna sleep on the hard ground in the comfort of your arms,
On a pillow of blue bonnets in a blanket made of stars.
Oh it sounds good to me...I said Tallahassee take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray closer to heaven above and closer to you
Closer to you.
I wanna walk and not run, I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon, and not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one, for miles and miles
Except for maybe you, and your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me, yes it sounds so good to me,
Tallahassee take me away, fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
Set me free, oh, I pray, closer to heaven above, and closer to you..
Closer to you
Toree's done so well living independently in Orem these past two years...and now Tallahassee gets her for 18 months....boy are they LUCKY!

I BELIEVE!!

I'd like to KISS the guy/gal who invented this great delicatessen! Had Sushi for the first time ever (unless my momma gave me some when I was little which I highly doubt!), but so many peeps talk so big about it and I was anxious! My amazing cousin/big bro, Siliva took me out for lunch this day and we headed to SUSHI YAH!
We met my other cousin, Travis there too and we did the "All You Can Eat"...later, I learned you'd be crazy not too. Then again, what poly WOULDN'T do "All You Can Eat" at any restraunt? LOL!
Anyway, these two fellahs, I consider some major sushi critiques, 'cause they are eating it all the time and have tried sushi at so many different places. They have ranked Sushi Yah the BEST of sushi in quality and price!
To "convert" me to their Sushi Crew, they had a certain order in the sushi's I tried...first up was the Las Vegas roll! I took my first bite....all I had to say was, "Hallelujah!! I BELIEVE!" It was better than Disneyland and Christmas combined!! I absolutely LOVED it....along with the Crystal Shrimp, Barney Rubble and all the rest that followed. Totally felt like a kid at the candy store!

I wondered why I held out so long from this heavenly gift! If you haven't tried sushi, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Suhi Yah for your firts time. If you tell me about it before you go, I'll make sure you take these two sushi missionaries...you will definitely be "converted" too...LOL!

Momma's Boy!

"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."

I wonder if every mother thinks the way I do.

When I was in my youth, I heard this story from my best friend's father whom I highly admire. The story has stuck with me since. Here's a quick version of the story.

He spoke of how he would drop off his kids each morning to school. They'd pull up to school, the kids would give him a hug and kiss to the cheek say their "I love yous" and they were off. As the years passed, he started to notice a change with his oldest son as he got older, the morning kiss became more of the father kissing his son's forehead and soon turned to a quick, "goodbye dad"...no kiss, no hug. The father was saddened, but knew his son was growing up and of course there are his son's friends who may be watching too, so he understood. From that point on, if ever he was with his son in front of his friends whether it was at school or home, this father was sure to keep his cool and not embarrass his boy.

Well, here I am...dropping my kids off each morning and starting to notice the same as this story the father shared. Beanie is in the 3rd grade and still loves to give her momma the kisses and hugs, the "I love yous" and runs to her friends...still, she'll turn around and wave at me again 'cause she knows I'm watching. How I love that! Then there's Ala who's now in the 5th grade, rushin' to get out of the car to be with his friends, as I remind him that I love him and get the mumbled, "you too."
Hey, I admit, I'll take whatever I can still get! It makes me a bit sad. I have a hard time with it, but like I learned, it comes with the kids growing up and I need to understand it.

Today, on our way to school, Ala remembered he'd forgotten a book report at home. We were already running late, so I told him I'd drop them off first, then run home to pick up his report and return it. I did just that. I got to the school office and the secretary told me I could take Ala's book report to his class. As I walked down the hallway towards his classroom, the thoughts of seeing my son to hand him his report came to mind. I thought about how I'd say goodbye to him. Weird, I know...I really don't think any other parent worries about silly things like this, but I had to prep myself! I thought that maybe his teacher would just come to the door, then I could just wave at Ala and hand his teacher the report. Then I thought, what if Ala comes to the door to grab the report, I need to prep myself to just hand him his report, smile and say somethin' like, "there you go buddy!" then I am to walk away....no hugs, just keep it cool and don't make my son feel awkward.

I get to his classroom door and it's open. I spot Ala right away, but he's busily working. A kid sitting in the back recognizes me and yells, "Hey Ala! It's your mom!" Okay, so I know Ala's probably already humiliated that this kid says it out loud...I totally feel like the WHOLE class has turned their heads to watch him as he walks to the door. My heart feels like it's beating so hard at this moment! Ala comes to the door and just as I planned, I hand him his report saying, "There you go bud!" then I smile at him, smile at the kids staring at us, then I turn around to walk away. Just as I'm about to give myself props for keepin' my cool, I hear my son's voice, "Mom!" I turned around to look at him...he has his arms open and gives me a hug AND a kiss to the cheek then he says, "Thanks so much mom!" Automatically, I said, "Love you son!" He says, "Love you too mom!" As I turn to walk away, I can hear the same kid who yelled out my arrival mimic Ala saying in a teasing tone, "Love you too mommy!" I hear kids laughing then I hear my son say, "What? That's my mom!"

Driving to work I thought about this whole episode. *tears* Totally a heart-melting moment for me! Ala wasn't embarrassed at all of his momma...he actually sounded quite proud! The stressing work day didn't seem to phase me ONE BIT today! =) That's my boy! Momma's boy!

Kaufana Top TEN!

Happy New Years!
As each year comes and goes, I'm sure we all like to look back at the highlights even "lowlights," any accomplishments etc. We are indeed grateful to be here in 2010!

Here's the Kaufana TOP Ten of 2009!

It's brief, but you can find more info in older postings.


10. COMCAST- First year our family has ever had Cable! Not sure why we waited so long. Disney and Sports are the main attraction. It brings all our family over to watch the football games with us. We LOVE it!

9. We moved back to Vespa Drive! Recession has sure hit our family, but we think we made a good move and we are able to budget better. Basement construction continues...

8. Cougar Pride! We beat those YOOTS! 26-23 in OT. How could this NOT make our TOP TEN? LOVE IT! We bleed BLUE!

7. Ala and Bean were accepted and started at APA! Another great move for our family! AWESOME SCHOOL!

6. Ala got straight A’s! If you know Ala, then you know this is QUITE the ACCOMPLISHMENT! ...and even more... He out did BEANIE! Haha! I give a whole lotta credit to their new school.

5. Drew turned ONE! Looks like he's 4 years old though...haha! =) Currently he's 19 months, wearing 4T in clothes and quite the character! He's a BIG BOY!

4. CHAMPS! Alafoki got his very first "Football Championship" this year! The Granger Mighty-Mites went undefeated and beat West for the big trophy!

3. Beanie’s Baptism. Our lil' Princess turned 8 and was baptized this past summer by her daddy, then confirmed by her grandpa.

2. The Secret Santa- Pay It Forward experience! (see prior blog post for more info) Lord only knows how much this has impacted our family to see others needs, to sacrifice, to give even when we have little to give.

1. Welcoming Koloi! We thought Drew was some miracle baby after 7 years of not having any kids...then this past Feb, we found out another baby was on his way. Koloi Pule Kaufana was born Sept. 25, 2009. What a joy he is! Two babies in the house is certainly a challenge, but a FUN ONE and we are so blessed to have Koloi! I guess Drew needed a lil' friend to grow with. Heavenly Father knows best!

MY FAMILY
