On Saturday, Wayne's family took us out to eat at Waynes favorite restaurant - The Happy Sumo. I'm not a big seafood fan, but even I can appreciate their sushi - very yummy. The best, though, is their dessert (try the tempura banana split). DEEEELICIOUS!!
Melba, Nia, Le'o, Kika, Kina
Kalo, me (lookin' REAL good with the fake smile) and Wayne
On Monday we had a fun night with our Family Home Evening group. It was at the Afutiti's beautiful home (for reals, BEAUTIFUL, esPECIally the TV), the Kalamafoni's taught the lesson ("if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear" - horaay for food storage!), the Filimoeatu's brought the activity (K, I have to know - who had the Snickers?) and the Hola's provided the treat (it's KLONDIKE, Tema. lol).
The highlight of the evening, however, was without-a-doubt the Rock Band/Guitar Hero. I had never played the whole band game before and it was the BOMB!
We played a game - girls against boys - and even though the boys' vocalist tried to hide everyone's bad playing by singing really REALLY loud. . . the truth was revealed with the final scores and our practice and concentration paid off - we WON!!
cool girls - Tema, Crystal, Candice, me
rockin' boys - Tevita, Wayne, David, RockyWe finished the evening with a birthday cake for Wayne.
On Tuesday, I made Wayne breakfast (not in bed, because he woke up while I was cooking) and at night we went out to eat as a family. It was nice.
Wayne got 2 presents. The first was an album with all his missionary pictures in it. I made the front and back covers out of foam (the back is a Dominican Republic flag) and sorted his pictures that have been everywhere forever since his mission and put them inside. It's something he's been "meaning to do" for a long time.
He said he liked it.
The second was a FISH! I think he actually got it for Malia, but we can count it too. He took Malia to the pet store and she picked this one out. We've yet to pick out a name. Any ideas?
Happy Birthday Wayne! Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and daddy to Malia and Kina. Thank you for making us laugh everyday and for working so hard. I love you!
