Crazy Tati

Yes, I know I talk about her quite constantly. But really how could I not talk about this sweet face?
I am excited for this weekend because the Sheriffs department is having a party for it's employees and I am an employee!! So I am just a crossing guard but still the party is going to be fun and we get into the zoo for free and then we get to check out swat equipment and police helicopters and all the fun stuff u see on tv.
Then, even more exciting we are going to MOAB next weekend. George's company is putting us up in a hotel and paying for our gas to get there. George is working half the days while we are there but Tati and I are going to play it up. Our good friends are going down too so I think it should be really fun. I have never been there so this will be a new experience!

She's eating something and it's not lunch! And shes farted!

This is screamed by my four year old nephew yesterday as my daughter was chewing on some gum she found in my sister's toy closet that had already previously been chewed by one of her cousins, most likely the one yelling it to me. He is such a cutie. Tati is so lucky to have family that adores her and lives close to us. She is always treated like Royalty in my family and George's and I just want to say I am so grateful for those people in our lives! We love our them!!!

How do I...

How do I make the pictures go to the bottom or in the middle of the text? I can't figure it out. It always goes to the top no matter what I do. Also how can I get a better background. If u are reading this and the pictures are not at the top and my background is something other than this puke green then u will know I figured it out. Otherwise help a sister out!

I want to have an exciting summer. I hear other people saying all the fun things they are going to do and I am really jealous. So if anyone wants to go to the Zoo, go camping or has other ideas let me know. I want Tatiana to have a fun summer. I feel like the days go by and it is always the same old boring thing!

Here are some pics of the SEVEN pairs of Nikes shoes George's sister sent from Portland (CRAZY SPOILED!)

Cheese Fries and Cupcakes

Tati had a great birthday yesterday! It was filled with family, food and presents. What more could a one year old ask for? Here are some pictures of her enjoying her birthday:



We started a tradition of getting a new pair of pajamas the night before ur birthday. Then on the moring of her birthday we walked into her room singing Happy Birthday and video taping the whole thing.

We went to her cousin Joseph's baseball game and she crawled around pretending to be a little doggy.

Her favorite food in the whole world CHEESE FRIES. She got her own order and I was amazed at how much she ate. Training Table rules!

Aunt Lisa made cupcakes for her with the best frosting ever and she ate TWO whole cupcakes by herself. She loved it!

Her cousins and Aunt and Uncle got her this desk which she is now obsessed with. It plays music and tells stories. I couldn't get her butt out of it. She got this first which made her not even want to unwrap mommy and daddy's gifts. This morning she was so happy to see it again and I had to force her to get out of it and get something to eat. Basically, she made out like a bandit.

OH TO BE ONE AGAIN!

One year already...

Oh my goodness my sweet baby is going to be one on Tuesday! Time has gone by in major warped speed. I think life goes extra fast once u have kids and u just want it to slow down a little. We are just gearing up for the big party on Saturday. Hopefully I can get everything done before Saturday morning. Chances are I won't though. We are going to roast two pigs for the occasion! We are doing it in true polynesian first birthday style. Well maybe not as big as some people who rent out halls and have dances and do all these crazy things but I think this may be her biggest party for a long, long, time. So hopefully we will see u all there? right?

I am so giddy about this weather. I swear the sun makes me just tingle inside. I never want it to be cold again. (ask me when it is in the middle of summer and my swamp cooler is broken and my answer will be different!) It is so fun to take Tatiana to the park or just go for a walk. Since most days we don't have a car we have actually walked a ton these past two weeks.

I am also excited because we might go to Moab at the end of next month. I have never been! And George's work is going to pay for our hotel. YEAH!! If anyone has been there let me know the fun things to do keeping in mind we have a toyota camry not a jeep.

Well hopefully I make it through this week. Happy Birthday my precious beautiful daughter Tatiana Lundy Tupou!

It has been so much fun seeing more of George this weekend. He didn't have to work on Saturday night or Sunday so we got to spend some time with our wonderful husband and "dada". After being constantly gone these past two weeks I feel like I haven't seen him at all. We went to see Vantage Point last night with some of our good friends from Australia that live in Provo and they have a girl a couple months older that Tati. Both babies weren't having it. Tati was talking through the whole movie so we spent most of the time watching from the isle by the door. From what I saw I liked that movie a lot though. It was a great action movie. Then today, we got to have George through all of church and later we are going to go to Temple Square to take some pictures by the flowers over there. This picture is of George when we were on our honeymoon and there was an huge bath tub in our bathroom. It makes me laugh everytime I see it.

We love the Prophet!

Well there is no stopping my daughter now. She is all over the place in her new walker. Her new found freedom is driving me crazy. Thank goodness I live in a tiny place otherwise I would have lost her many times over. I just love these pink crocs she is wearing. How come everything is cuter when it is tiny. Even fat right? We just love chubby legs on babies...but when mommy has chubby legs not so cute.



It is quite funny to see her running around everywhere thinking she is racing someone.

She likes to wave to her fans as she goes past. I don't know what she would do if she wasn't always the center of attention?

Just look at that chubbiness! This is Tati doing "so big" which is her new trick.

Lately I have been wondering how she will feel if we have another baby. George would have had a baby nine months after she was born if he had his way. I am a little more hesitant. I want to loose the weight, have my own body for awhile and not change two diapers all the time. I also am so concerned that Tatiana will be sad not being the center of attention anymore. She is so spoiled by my sister and all different family members and her cousins give her their complete attention what will happen if another one comes along? Will her little world be rocked? It makes me sad for her already. On the other hand I want her to have siblings that are close in age to help her through school and life. well I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to the river.

We are glad to listen to the conference today and hear from our new prophet who we love so much! He is such a great speaker and even as a kid I could listen to him without growing restless. We love u President Monson!!!!
