WOW...Already February!


My nieces did a "tauolunga" for my mom when we had her tribute dinner. It was beautiful. I played "Rondo Alla Turca" and that was a mess...just kidding, it turned out. From oldest to youngest: The Vaisa's, Lulu gave a speech about mom's mission and all the good she saw in Tonga due to moms service there. The Niuputuivaha's, were in Hawaii but called and expressed theor love for mom and her service. The Kinikini's, Siope and family had tribute in video for moms work. The Alatini's, gave a speech and tribute to mom. The Tafisi's had their son's do the Maori "haka" and their girls were in the "tauolunga." The Kinikini's, had a video tribute featuring the vocal stylings of Tonga Kinikini, live! The Kinikini's, had their children sing "You Raise Me Up" and they all a handful of tulips and a book about my mom's pictures from her mission that they presented to her. The Malakai's showed video of their trip to Tonga and all the good that mom did out there. I did my Piano rendition of "Rondo Alla Turca" and the Tuaone's presented mom with an apple tree to be planted to signify a good seed brings for good fruit. It was a wonderful evening!




Okay, so I haven't been on here for a while and I'm to blame for that! My "New Year Resolutions" or still going strong and I am very happy about that. A lot has happened since my last post about my BIRTHDAY! Let's see...uhhh, okay, well Aguilera sent me a text about a week ago to let me know they are expecting..
I am now learning "Rondo Alla Turca" on the Piano...from scratch...so we'll see how that turns out... I know, I know...NERD ALERT! It's too present to my mama because she is finished with her mission and will be home March 31, 2009. So, anything for my mama!

Let's see what else has happened??? Taniela Fifita Kinikini was blessed on February 1, 2009. Number 6 of the Lini and Marie klan!

Amelia Lose Ngata went through the temple February 7, 2009. In preparation to her leaving for a full time mission on April 8, 2009 to the Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Mission. Johnny Tukuafu also received his call to RD Kenasha Mission in AFRICA, French speaking!

Lome, Lini, Jeans and My Mama, Big Pete and BOJAY all had birthdays! My little sister Latai also turned 16 today, but had a SWEET 16 PARTY on Saturday and that was also OFF THE HOOK! Sione and Katie had a surprise party January 31 on the 32nd floor of the Wells Fargo building downtown...and THAT was off the hook!
