Drew LOVES to pray these days.  He expects daddy to choose him to say the prayer every time we kneel.  It was fine at first because his prayers were short and sweet as he'd thank Heavenly Father for blessing then bless each of us: Daddy, Momma, Ala, Beanie, Drew and Koloi.  Amen.  Done.  Sweet and simple.  From that point, he would catch on to our prayers, where we are blessing others like

 My lil' Bean's got the HONOR of dancing with ATOP!!  ATOP = Ailine's Touch of Polynesia. They have always been my most favorite of all shows to watch and I love that Bean gets to learn from these pros!  My cousin, Banana is their teacher...she's got some natural teaching skills...I LOVE watching her work with these lil' girls.  They are learning so much!  ATOP has opened a dance studio and so

I LOVE FEBRUARY!  The WHOLE MONTH is just AMAZING to me!  Yes, my birthday is this month and Valentines Day is my most FAVORITE holiday...so that does have ALOT to do with it....BUT- there's just a different feel to it for me.  It's a positive vibe all around and I'm in the BEST MOOD ever!!  I believe I now know someone who has a birthday on everyday of this month...it's like a party each and

After the fun meal....I came home to my baby Koloi who was running a sky high fever!  Justin and I rushed him straight to Primary Children's because he was wheezing a bit and Grandma demanded that we take him or

So, I enjoyed the holidays a bit TOO MUCH and gained FIFTEEN FAT pounds!! It should be depressing, but for some reason, I'm in some kind of mood that just doesn't care these days!! I thought that by joining a Biggest Loser contest, it would motivate me. It's been a whole week and what have I done to progress? Nothin...nada...zip...zilch!! Sad huh? I tell myself it's work...the stress of work...

There are days where the kids and I crank up the music and dance all through the house for hours!  Some nights, we'd have pillow fights full of laughter.  Dinner time chats and bubble baths for the babies...  Not much of that happens in the house these days.  I miss it so much.  Lately, I come home so late from work to find this... My babies tried to wait up for their momma.  :(  I find my

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

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?

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!

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

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".

The story has stuck with me since. Here's a quick version of the story.He spoke of how he would drop off his

This was written the day after Christmas...didn't realize I never posted it.10:30pm. 2 days 'til Christmas. Troubled times. A knock on the door. A teenaged kid handed an envelope that said, "Kaufana" on it. He said, "Merry Christmas!" and walked right into the darkness and disappeared. Inside the envelope, an amount of money beyond my imagination. Shock. Ran outside to track the footsteps in the

My lil' Toree turned 21 this month!! All she wanted from us for her bday was to bring the kids up to go sledding with her. She's been livin' in Provo for over two years now, doin' school, attending the singles ward and makin' her own lil' life out there. She absolutely LOVES "Happy Valley" (Provo) and calls it "home" too. We tease her about how much Provo has changed her...she used to be so shy

Church starts at 11am each Sunday. Ten people to one bathroom in the house is pure chaos! I can't wait for the other bathroom to be done already. Let's just say all the kids and dad were fresh out of the bath and neatly groomed in time. "Someone" ended up throwin' on a church dress, hair in a bun for the millionth time and out the door. We were still 5 minutes late! No one in nursery yet, so

The kids new school, American Prepatory Academy (APA) had their opening flag ceremony and Utah's governor came to speak to the kids and participate in the flag ceremony. Ala reminded me each day the week prior to make sure I'd be there. I'm glad I made it because it was a neat experience. It was held outside after school on Monday. There were tons of parent support which I was happy to see. Along

My kids started at the American Prepatory Academy a new school for them this year. This meant new location, with uniforms and new kids which has made them nervous all summer. Monday, Aug. 31st was their first day...Ala seemed fine and excited, but Beanie on the other hand had been extra nervous the night before and so that morning told me she wasn't ready and her stomach hurt. She had no fever

Ok, so maybe my title is a bit exaggerated...but this is a day we've been kinda dreading...or maybe so! My son started his 3rd year of little league football this year. He’s always wanted to run the ball, but you have to meet a certain weight requirement in order to do so. The first two years, he has missed that weight limit by a few pounds or more and ended up being one of the smaller linemen.

The Days of '47 aka Pioneer Day is always a fun one for the family....not only is it Pioneer Day but Justin and I celebrate our anniversary as well. This year Pioneer Day fell on the weekend, well started Friday, July 24th and then July 25th is our anniversary. We didn't have much planned due to this "Recession," and planned to keep it pretty simple and laid back. You know...a quiet relaxful

First weekend of July was a busy one for us. Bean turned 8 years old and was baptized. We threw her a surprise bday party Friday night. Her aunty Les took Beanie out with her cousins for the day and when evening came, Bean thought they were going out to the movies, but before the movies, Les told them she had to stop by and check out a friends family gathering at the rec center. All the family

The following story was taken from a post made in the LDS forums: The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.After many hours of waiting

This is my lil' brother Tupou aka Bobo. He's 9 yrs old and the youngest of the 11 siblings. I think he has the softest heart and always has good intentions. He tells me that I'm his favorite sister all the time...I just LOVE that! Anyway...I think I might start my own blog on just Bobo 'cause he's always full of surprises in his actions and what he says...thought I'd share a lil' bit about him

Our lil' family went on the tour at Oquirrh Mountain Temple this past weekend. It was a part of our Father's Day outing! The kids weren't too excited at first, until they were told they could actually go inside the temple and realized the opportunity of doing so. My parents and most of my siblings were all in Frisco for a family reunion...but, my lil' bro, Pou and my sis, Toree stayed back so we

She's been out here for the past few days and I do all I can to spend time with this girl 'cause we can talk and talk and TALK for DAYS! :D One of her girls (twins) got sick while we were in Cali last weekend for Ruby's wedding.

"My Lil' Feti Love Bucket" turned one this past week!!*crying happy tears sad tears*I can't believe how quickly this year went. It wasn't much of a big birthday bash as a FIRST birthday usually is, because he got sick a couple days before and it wouldn't have been so fun to have tons of family/friends while he was so miserable. We had a simple lil' cake (thanks to my sister Brenda), my siblings

Can you see it? No? Neither could I...LOL! This is a picture of a picture...scanner isn't cooperating right now...but we're anxious to post the pic! So I'm on my 22nd week with this pregnancy and we were so happy when we FINALLY got an ultrasound to find out whether the baby would be a boy or girl. Now, we already have the two boys and so Beanie was really hoping for a girl! Heck, Justin and I

Our lil' family went to New Zealand this past month to see my husband's family. His parents and siblings all live there with their families. They moved from the states back in 2000, so it had been a very long time since we'd seen them. It was a lovely reunion, Beanie and Drew got to meet their Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Heather for the first time and the last time Ala had seen them was when he was

So, I've been a fan of the "BLOGGERS" reading, laughing, "awwwing" and "oooohing" over pictures and videos of other blogspots, that I thought it would be a fun thing to start for myself. So thank you to all you wonderful friends and family who have shared your personal and family experiences with me...I've learned so much from you and hopefully you will experience the same.Bear with me while I
