Happy 6th birthday to our ta’ahine Tonga! The hiva loi is real lol but we love that she is always trying to learn new things. Suseti is our beautiful, brave, creative, cheerful, goofy, and talented girl. The best big sister, an easy maker of friends, Daddy’s princess, and our #1 helper with pretty much everything. We love our Zeti girl to infinity.

In a lot of my mommy conversations lately I have referred to this phase of motherhood as being “in the trenches.” So when I scrolled past this song, it hit me hard.

I was asked if I have postpartum depression and what that feels like for me. I said I think I do. Maybe I don’t. Idk. I just feel off. Like I just can’t get a hang of things. Like I can’t find my groove/rhythm with the kids this time. Which is usually really easy for me cuz my parenting is pretty lax and I’m just chillin for the most part lol

Maybe it’s the back to back babies, this new bigga body lol or a combination of the two. I see moms with more kids do more with back to back kids and think wow. Goals. But I know I can do it. I have the best most helpful partner @kava_leka who is super hands on and loves me & kids who also love and are patient with me. Especially when I am short and tired with them. Which is all the time.

Anyways, I am beyond blessed. So like the song, I really do just need to slow down. I really am doing fine. I really can’t do everything and right now and that’s fine. I only get them this young for a short time and I am going to miss this. I’m quite dramatic and already miss it! Lol They might give me Hell when they’re teenagers, so let me enjoy them and soak it all up now. So no more saying “in the trenches” for me. These have been and are going to be “the best years.”

Grateful for friends who make service part of the vacation itinerary and give our kids opportunities to learn what serving others looks like.

The kids made handwritten letters and drawings, then we spent some time singing and visiting with residents at a local senior living community.

Zeti goes to Kindergarten!! 🍎✏️📓

I’ve always said I would homeschool my kids! But Zeti has been begging to go to “real school” ever since we moved to Alaska. Especially with her big cousin Moana.

Well thanks to her baby brother Siliva, her prayers have been answered! Real school it is!! Even Moana transferred over.

The pencil on her board is empty because when we asked her what she wants to be when she grows up she said, “A teenager.” Oarrrr naurrrrr

Happy first day of school to our first baby! 🥺 taken in Anchorage, AK by @kava_leka

So excited to welcome our new baby. And by excited I mean terrified. Chayce said he’s not scared… but it’s ok. I’ll scare him. 🤣

“Surely the thing God loves most about being God is the thrill of being merciful” -Jeffrey R. Holland.

This - for me - is at the top of a hundred lines of inspired quotes delivered by President @jeffreyrholland over the years that have brought me closer to my Savior and Heavenly Father. If I could list them all, I would. Needless to say, I have been greatly blessed by this man’s devotion to Christ. He taught with power and bore a fervent witness of the Redeemer. I am a better man because of his teachings.

Thank you, President Holland. I am sure your reunion with Sister Patricia Holland has been joyous. Enjoy your rest in Paradise. ‘Ofa atu. by @kava_leka
