Fina'i Family: Trying to Catch Up: March '09

Okay, so I've really slacked on this whole blogging thing, but I'll try to do some quick catch ups. I'll start with March '09. Let's see, March was a great month! Vili and I both celebrated our birthdays this month and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at our favorite restaurant, Buzz's Wharf...yummy! I also got to have a great night out with the girls starting with dinner at the Dunes and then finishing off with dessert at Cold Stone. It was such a fun night! Thank you ladies!

The other highlight for the month was that we had our ward temple trip to the Kona Temple. Every year we spend our spring break in Kona for our temple trip. It is always a wonderful experience, but this year was especially great as we were able to witness the sealing of our good friends, the Tuaoa family. Vili and I took turns going to the temple so that the other could stay out and watch Taimane. I was able to do several sessions and loved it. Of course, we also spent a lot of family time at the pool and the beach. Taimane would wake up and the first thing she would say was "I'm ready to go swimming in the pool mom." It was a blast!!

She loved swimming w/ big cousin Daisy.

Most nights she couldn't even stay up for dinner : )

Since spring break was 2 weeks this year, we decided to fly to Oahu from Kona to spend our 2nd week there. We loved being back in Laie and spending time with Vili's family. Taimane had a blast with all her cousins, aunties, uncles, and grandma. We spent most of our time on Oahu with the family, but we also enjoyed shopping at the new Target, meeting up with the Kons for lunch, and then doing touristy things like going to PCC. We always love going back to Laie to see family and friends. We can't wait 'til our next trip.
