MIL

This wonderful lady is my Mother in law...I hate to call her that because she really is just my 2nd mom! I want to express my love for you Linita. You have taught me to do anything I can for my children. You taught me to pay a full tithing, to be patient, to hope and have faith, fast and prayer and you will be blessed. You are one of thee MOST HUMBLEST WOMAN I know! You are always striving and living the gospel. I often see you on your knees in prayer and it's so humbling for me to see that. I learn so much from you. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for raising your son to love so strongly, & in the gospel, he is not perfect, but so perfect for ME! He cook, cleans and works hard for our family, and I have YOU to thank!You are also such a wonderful grandma, I LOVE IT. I am eternally grateful for your example of PURE LOVE to your children/grandchildren. Thank you for helping me become a better person. I love you! You deserve all the happiness in the WORLD, especially Mothers Day :)

My mother Connie Iris Motuliki is thee most beautiful woman I know.

Dear Mom,

 you have taught me so much throughout these 27 almost 28 yrs! Thinking about all the things you have taught/shown me is overwhelming and I get teary eyed thinking about it. You are not the typical mom who loves to scrap or draw, and cook gourmet meals, and sew our halloween costumes, or show much love and affection towards us children....YET you knew how to do all of these things, and did em your own way. Mom you are a woman of many trades. You are so talented at drawing, you can sew, u sewed mostly all of your skirts for church, you can scrap and are quite creative, u can cook and make up your own recipes and they are BOMB,you made us create our own Halloween costumes every year, u didn't give us much hugs, or kisses, but u wrote us letters, listened to us, cried with us, and was always always there for us! There are so many things I could say about you mom, but simply I would like to tell you how much I appreciate you teaching me how to be the MOTHER I AM TODAY! I hope you are proud of me, I hope that I can measure up to all of the things you had done for us growing up. I hope I can show my children the constant nourishment of FULL TIME MOTHERSHIP you gave to us! You were and are always there, and I appreciate you mom for EVERYTHING! Thank you and I hope you have a Happy Mothers Day!

Love ~aNNa~

P.S.

The title of this is called Toots, because that is my moms nickname :)

I LOVE BEING...

She loves me even tho it doesn't look like it here lol..
They love their baby sister :)
I love being a mom! It's so funny to think back when I had NO kids. I hardly can remember it, cause it's been soo long. But I am so happy I am able to have children!! Since our new addition, life has been pretty busy with changing diapers, making bottles, giving her baths, sleeping, laundry, and taking care of my other two kids! Things have been going pretty well, but it's been quite an adjustment. My mother always told me that when you have 3 kids, and get use to it, you can have 10! Three is the magic number to learning how to multi-task I guess. I've come to realize that now. I feel like a brand new mommy cause I haven't had a baby in the house for years...like 5years!! And I am like looking up things on the internet about how babys grow month by month and I came across... baby cries. Well I'm sure a lot of you remember that Oprah show where that lady could tell the differences of baby cries. I was so happy I came across that article and I youtubed it and thought I should share it with you mommas....I am always telling Pulu when she cries now, "oh she's hungry, oh she's tired, oh she wants to burp, she's uncomfortable". It's so amazing and so far it's been working. I am really grateful for people like her who have such an amazing talent, and to be able to share it with the world! I love being a mom to my wonderful, amazing, annoying, bratty, humble, fun kids!! :) lol...Hope they always feel that :)
