Labor Day

Today was a BLAST! 
So we left at 7 this morning for the lake and I was so exited! My family has owned a boat since I was for and in the last probably 10 years I've been on it like twice! And I LOVE boating! Pretty depressing I know. Haha so anyway today was the first time we took it out the guy that basically takes care of it who is in my parents ward. His family all went and my husband and I, Kona, and my mom joined them! It was SO much fun. So get this, the boy I married, from Tonga (an island) has never been on a speed boat or ever really even seen one! So today was an awesome adventure for him! And I was so proud of the fact that he tried everything! He got up on a knee board, tried out a wake board and went tubing with me! I tried everything as well and succeeded on nothing. It was a frustrating day for me but I was constantly distracted by being proud of my handsome husband! He was awesome! I have bruises EVERYWHERE from knee boarding and feel like I don't need to drink water for weeks after how much water was shoved down my throat from diving into the water trying to wake board. But still I can't help but be proud of that boy I love! Kona and the Nelson grand babies were all out on the water today and we just had so much fun! Nu'u is undeniably a natural with children. Today was probably my favorite case of that. But seriously babies LOVE him. I have no idea what it is, maybe that they've never seen brown skin? Beats me. But I LOVE it. Of course it always bring up the statement (I think someone is baby hungry, yes aren't we all). I can't get over how perfect of a father this boy will be. I truly can't wait till we get to bless our little family with children! My favorite part of today though is when Nu'u learned how to drive the Noah and drove it and learned everything about loading a boat in and out of the water so that next time we wanna go we won't need anyone to take us! Here's some pics from our first Labor Day being married! Hope your holiday was as good as mine! 
Too precious, I can't get over it and never want to!

From day one...my breastfeeding journey!

Image
On Friday: October 10, 2014, I became a mom to the most handsome little brown boy I had ever seen. Since I was adopted, my mom was one of my biggest supporters to the idea of breastfeeding. She never got to experience that and she wanted to make sure I did! It was VERY important to me that I breastfed as it was something I always dreamed of doing. On October 13 (day 4) we visited our pediatrician for the first time. She was my pediatrician as a child and I absolutely love her and recommend her to EVERYONE! While there, she asked me how Charlie was latching and being brand new to this experience, I figured any problems I was having at this point were just as much me as they were him, since we were both learning. At this point I was not having any pain, cracking or bleeding, and I didn't realize that Charlie was not eating well. After I answered her she responded with "I just asked because he's a little tongue tied". I had absolutely no clue what that meant, that it cou...

SAVOR

This is the fourth year I have chosen to forgo the idea of resolutions and instead choose a word of the year! A word that I want to define my year. A word to keep in mind that will encourage growth and understanding.. Last year my word was EMBRACE . I couldn't have chosen a better word for the year. I learned so much about the gospel, my marriage, and myself. I learned to embrace anything and everything that comes with being pregnant. The good and the bad. I learned to embrace the trials I may face in life for the purpose that I will learn something from every single one. I learned to embrace my changing body and the miraculous things it would do before, during, and after labor. I learned to embrace the pain and trial that came with breastfeeding as well as learning how having a tongue tied baby is, how to fix it, and what to do next. We bought a new home, Nu'u enrolled in school that he will start in 2 weeks, and we have both learned what it really means to be in love, wi...

BRONCOS!!

Image
Before football season even started my husband and I had 2 serious arguments about who he was gonna be a fan of. I'm a die hard Broncos fan and he's not necessarily a fan of anyone. He doesn't know football he knows rugby (which I'm okay with). He's always known that I'm a sports JUNKY and that I'm a huge broncos fan so when we talked about it in the past he talked about being a broncos fan and how I need to teach him football. Sounds good to me right? First football season together is gonna be a blast?! Till he found out why I actually was introduced to the broncos....the kid who was my first kiss (14 years old) was from Denver and his family is Broncos fans...of course. So for Christmas that year he bought me a broncos hoodie. So I started watching the games. By myself. Becoming a fan. By myself. And staying a fan even after that "relationship" was over. By myself. No problem right?! Yeah right! I wouldn't call my husband the jealous type (ha...
