Enjoy life to the fullest!

I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post... there's no particular reason as to why it's been that long, maybe life got the better of me and time just flew by. Not much has happened since my last post that's worth writing about... or that I can remember.... lol Here's an update of what I can remember:

KJ is doing much better in school, there were times where I felt like a bad mother because I started him way to early.... seeing that his birthday is the end of July and school started a month after that.... but now that he's received his back to school priesthood blessing from his dad I've seen huge improvement with him. It's like all of a sudden a light turned on and he is slowly but surely getting the information his teacher is striving to teach him. It's so fun having him come home from school to tell me all the new things he's learned. His vocabulary has expanded so much. He says things that I have to stop and think but there are times that I just bust out laughing. Even though there are days were I have no patience for this little boy he is still able to find a way to put a smile on my face.

Funny story: Just the other day Kepu went and picked KJ up from school. As they were walking to the car this little girl came running up to them "Bye KJ" and started blowing him kisses. Kepu texted me when they got home to tell me what had happened... I walked through the door and immediately started questioning KJ. Here's how our conversation went:

Me: KJ so what is this I hear girls blowing you kisses!?!?!

KJ: Yeah mom she tries to kiss me all the time... gross (as he is wiping his lips)

Me: KJ, you are not allowed to kiss girls. The only girls you can kiss is your mom, grandmas, and aunties... anyone else is off limits!

KJ: Okay mom, I'll just hug them (as he is laughing silently.. and his dad laughing rooting him on thinking he has one stud of a son)

Me: WHAT?!?!?!

KJ: haha just kidding mom. I know I know girls are gross!

WHAT.... I never thought I'd have to have this conversation with my 5 year old, but times have changed. I remember I didn't even know what "going out" was until I was in 5th grade. Seriously these girls and boys start young. Someone has told me that you need to have the "talk" by the time your child is 8 years old.... ummm I don't think I'm ready for that in three years. Oh well I guess it's better to talk about it in the comfort of the home then having him learn about it from some outside source. So whether I'm ready or not in three years we will have to have the "talk".....

Nafe my sweet baby is now 10 1/2 months! I can't believe how fast time has flown. He is crawling all over the place and is walking along the furniture. Before I know it he'll be running a muck with his older brother. I love watching Nafe learn new things and figuring out how to do things. This is one of my favorite stages of life. He is such a happy baby who brings so much light and joy into our family. He ABSOLUTELY loves his big brother KJ... to watch those two interact brings so much love and light to my life. They were truly best friends before they came here to earth. I know that things may change as time goes on but deep in my heart I know these two will always be close brothers! :)

Kepu just finished his fall semester in school. He did okay this time around... I think going to school in the summer burnt him out a little but I know when next semester starts he'll do a lot better. I'm so proud of him and the things he's accomplishing. I know he setting a great example for my boys! It doesn't matter how old you are when you return to school as long as you go back and finish! Kepu and I both know that the only way to better our family life and financial situation is to go back to school. I hope that once Kepu gets through school he'll be able to find a job to support our family so I can go back. Like I've said before it doesn't matter how old you are when you go back to school just as long as you go back and finish.

As for me I'm just working full time and helping my Kj and Kepu with school. I feel like I've started kindergarten and college all in the same year... lol Oh well I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way!
