Were Back!

Let me tell ya, it has been a long and crazy summer and we have had so many great things happen in such a short period of time. To start Alex played on his first baseball team, Bear & Alex finished school. Our Uncle Bud(Baldwin Ninoa Kalama) passed away on the morning of June 10th. He truly was an example to me of pure Christ like love, he just had a way of making everyone around him feel special and never judged anybody. He loved everyone for who they were and I hope that i can follow his example. Love You Uncle Bud!! Our latest addition (#5) Elias Wiata Baldwin Kauhane Tahu was born at 10:36pm, almost 12 hours after our Uncle Bud had passed. He weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 19 1/4 ins. We like to believe that he got to spend some time with Uncle Bud before joining our little family! We had the best family reunion in Provo Utah for the fourth of July. I had a horrifying brush with death while tubing down the Ice Cold Raging waters of the Provo Canyon River! Ok so it wasn't really that bad but at the time I thought I could die, let me tell ya I was praying all the way down that river. For all of you who went on that trip i think we should have a survivor reunion July 4th 2009 anyways, after the reunion we had baby Kloee's baby shower, Alex turned 8 on 8-8-08 and we had a very fun swimming party for him. Alex, Bear & Leo started school and Leos has just started kindergarten, I was a little afraid of how he was going to do because the only response i got from him after his first day of school was "It took to long" but as the days went on he's grown to love it and he's doing very well. Bear is loving school and she has made alot of new friends including boys(i'm not sure i like that to much).

I was able to be with my little sis and her husband when she gave birth to her first little baby Kloee Mae Lyon she is sooo beautiful...red hair and all! In September we had our 1st baptism, Alexander was baptized and confirmed by Mike and following his baptism Mike was able to give Elias his baby blessing, it was a Beautiful day! Last but not least we are almost ready to break ground for building our home, it should be finished this next spring Yea! We are so excited for the future and feel that we are very blessed for all of the life experiences, events & lessons we have had in our little family in these past few years. Mind you we could have never done any of this without the help of many friends and family members and of above all our Heavenly Father.

We look forward to keeping you all properly updated and informed of our whereabouts and hope to stay in close contact as well. So until next time, ALOHA!!!
