Twin stuff

Since I have to get TWO carseats. I was thinking we'd just use Bastien's old carseat, which is still in good condition..except for the cover. I was thinking of making a cover , but the patterns at the material store dont have the canopy (sun cover) pattern with it, which is dumb cause you need those.

But I found this website that sells them and they're really cute! And I cant just get one now. So maybe i'll get an inexpensive evenflo carseat with those ugly covers ( I saw one at Walmart for 45 dollars), instead of paying a hundred dollars for a nice carseat. And then...I can get 2 of these cute covers! I found 2 different pairs of them that are so cute!

This set with the black and brown?

-or-

this one with the blue and brown ?

Also I saw this cool clip in double carseat stroller online! This would work for like the first year..I want it!

And I got a twin nursing pillow exactly like this one from Amazon.com ($56) ..But I got it for 12 dollars at good ole Once upon a child. (I am determined to nurse this time...who wants to buy all that formula?!)

ZOO

We had a fun day at the Zoo....here are a few pics (of course my sister Ana took way better pictures...but these are from my camera)

My mom holding Bastien to see the zebras...and my bro Vuna and one of the twins in the background

Bastien and Lana

My sister Mary's baby Tali...what a CUTIE!

Tired and ready to go home!

We Miss you, Delma!

Today is my mother-in-law's bday..she passed away from a long battle with cancer on April 27, 2006. (a day after steven's bday) She was such a sweet lady and a great mother-in-law. It stinks that I actually REALLY liked my mother-in-law and didnt get that much time with her. But she always made me feel part of the family even when Steven and I were dating. She would always get so excited when we'd come over and when we were there, she would make lists of food to have when we came over! She was so cute..she acted like a little girl sometimes..(in a good way) She was childlike in a way where she was just so good, keeping the commandments and doing things you should just came so easy to her. Once we had Bastien..she couldnt get enough of him and towards the end her shoulder bone had disinegrated (sp?) and so she couldnt ever really hold Bastien..but she would just sit in her chair and stare and smile at him the whole time and ask lots of questions about what kinds of baby food he ate. She died before he got to the age where he couldve really bonded with her and Steven and I talk about how she would LOVE him at this stage!

She loved the Holidays, and this is the second year of holidays since she's been gone and its really sad without her, its not the same at all. It's hard for Steven this time of year because the holidays remind him of his mom alot. One thing that I really liked about Steven when we were dating (and married) was how good he was to his mom. He seriously NEVER argued with her, talked back or treated her bad. He was always,always so sweet to her. Well, I just wanted to write a few things about her cause it's her bday. She wouldve been 51. We'll never stop missing her, but at peace because she was in alot of pain at the end there and also we know we'll see her again! And she gets to see little

Embry and River before we do! :)

Delma and baby Steven

When Steven's brother Brian came home from his mission in May 2003

At Bastien's baby blessing September 2005

(only 4 of the kids are there, Christine and Kevin are not)

I found my Edward!!

(Well..Steven's my real life Edward:).. I mean for the books) But....Ok obviously I am a loser and have nothing to post about except for all things that have to do with the Twilight series. But I saw this guy on that new show "Gossip Girl" and he is..EDWARD! Henry Cavill would be good, but I still couldnt picture him as Edward..I couldnt picture him with Edward's personality..and always being protective and..angry alot (in Twilight, at least). This guy has the bronze hair already, too! That's all he needs is his gold topaz eyes..is is just me or is he the perfect Edward? I can finally have a specific person in my head while I'm reading that does him justice...(since I'm re-reading the books!..i'm a LOSer!)

"When I get hungry – and I mean hungry – there are only five words that can satisfy me: All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. They’re like libraries of food, but instead of late fees, they’ve got soft-serve. I hit up the local buffets at least once a month, sometimes more depending on how business is going. It really breaks up my normal routine of soup, soup, tuna, soup, microwave pasta, tuna-soup casserole."

- I heard about this website, but never looked at until now..it's hilarious!

I'm suprised it said he looks more like Steven only by 3%...I thought it would be more..I guess it's just the blonde hair and blue eyes that throw people off when they find out he's my kid!

....growing belly

I thought I'd take a belly picture before I get any fatter and my face gets even more swollen! I feel like I'm 6-7 months pregnant..and I'm not even 5 months! (I guess there's a reason though) I'm scared to know what my bellys gonna look like at 8 months!

"The Office" last night!

Finally! The Office last night was so good! Everything I'd been hoping for and more... after the summer break and cliffhanger with Jim and Pam! At first I was so mad cause it didnt look like anything happened...but theyre dating!! This is gonna be a GREAT season! " Why I'm taking responsibility, and it is up to me to get rid of the curse that hit Meredith with my car. I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious." "Myth - three Americans die every year from rabies. Fact - four Americans every year die from rabies. How many of you know someone that has been afflicted or affected by rabies? Show of hands. One, two, three... too many to count. It is truly the silent killer. No, it is the foaming barking killer."

Bastien's new way of saying NO

Now when Bastien says No ...he acts like he's thinking about it. He goes..."Hmmm....NO!" He says "Hmmm" alot now..like when I ask him what he wants to eat or what movie he wants to watch..He'll look at the movies and go..."Hmmm". It's really cute. He's actually starting to say sentences now, too. like we were in the car driving home and he's all "I wanna go home" It's so funny when you're kid starts talking and you hear their little voice. Anyways, just wanted to let all you Office lovers know that at Target ..they have a ton of dollar bins full of.... "The Office" characters and quotes on... magnets, mouse pads, notepads and I even got a mug that says "I love Jim"! Fun stuff!

MY Favorite Movies....

Last night I was really bored..cause Steven was gone all day at work and school...and I saw this idea on someone's blog...so here's a few of my

favorites...and some fav quotes from them.

Moulin Rouge

"Then I'll write a song and we'll put it in the show and whenever you sing it or hear it. Or whistle or hum it then you'll know. It'll mean that we love one another."

Music from another room

Jesus: I saw you looking at me from across the room.

Nina: I'm blind.

Jesus: Oh - I knew there was a reason.

Far and Away

Shannon: Yes! You could be my serving boy.

Joseph: Oh, l see....l could polish your boots for you.

Shannon: They will need a polish now and then.

Joseph: Aye, they would. And l could make you a cup of tea.

Shannon: When teatime calls for it, yes.

Joseph: .......l'll throw the tea in your face and l'll piss on your boots before l serve the likes of you!

Sense and Sensibility

Elinor Dashwood: Marianne, you must change or you will catch a cold.

Marianne: What care I for colds when there is such a man.

Elinor Dashwood: You will care very much when your nose swells up.

Marianne: You are right. Help me, Elinor.

Ever After

Henry: Please, Danielle...

Danielle: Say it again.

Henry: I'm sorry.

Danielle: No, the part where you said my name.

Mean Girls

Alyssa, I'm sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. Is not your fault you're so gap-toothed. V for Vendetta

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous...... verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?

Splendor in the Grass

"Well, I think it has some...Well, when we're young, we look at things very idealistically, I guess, and I think Wordsworth means that when we grow up, that we have to forget the ideals of youth and find strength..."

(If you havent seen this one...Warren Beaty is well worth the watch!)

The Notebook

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday"

Walk the Line

Warden: Try not to sing anything that reminds them that they're in prison. Johnny Cash: You think they forgot?

Garden State

"This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing."

Fools Rush In

Alex: Donde esta tamazula?

mexican guy: Trambia

Alex: Tamazula?

mexican guy: Trambia!

Alex:What the hell's a trambia?

mexican guy: Dat bus over there.

My Dad

I was going through some pictures and found these.. This is my dad on a postcard for the PCC "Polynesian Cultural Center" where he danced during college...and the other is his college school picture. (BYU- Hawaii was called Church College of Hawaii back then)

By the way...this guy would make a dang good Edward, too..whoever he is. (I think his name is Tom Sturridge)

Names for da babies....

So.... I've or "we've" decided on names for the twin boys...(Steven never has any suggestions, he just likes to veto the ones he doesnt like) I guess some of you might think I'm a little weird for the names I am choosing. Just cause theyre kinda different. But I am absolutely in love with the names...theres no changing my mind on these ones. I got crap from some people for the name Bastien...but I dont even care. Anyways, baby A...which is the one closest to my cervix I guess..and further down. Is... Embry. And Baby B ..which is the one closest to my ribs.. is River. ......Embry and River (ya I got Embry from "New Moon and Eclipse" :) I'm SO excited for you to come!

New Moon and Eclipse

Ok so thats all thats been going on in my life recently is...Edward and Bella. I've been posting way too many blogs about them...but I've succumbed to it..Im Obsessed!! Anyways, I got "New Moon" in the mail..finally on Saturday night when I checked the mailbox. I started reading Sunday night and I finished Monday afternoon. I already had "Eclipse" waiting for me..so I started that Monday night. But I've been trying to stretch out "Eclipse" as much as I can..because I really dont know what I'm going to do with myself until next fall when the 4th one comes out. Plus I've been going to bed way too late from reading this week and I am definitely feeling it. But I convinced Steven to let me start reading "Twilight" to him. He said he probably wouldnt read them on his own until he's done with school. And I cant wait that long to talk to him about the books..so I am reading him a couple chapters a night. Anyways..I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be done with "Eclipse" today ..I only have like 200 pages left. So I am trying to stall a little and enjoy it as much as I can!

Boys Boys Boys!!!

I'm following in the footsteps of my sister Ana ...cause I'm gonna be a mother of 3 boys! Crazy huh? Twin boys!! I'm actually really excited cause Bastien is the best and he's freaking adorable..so I'm sure my other 2 boys will be sososo cute! Yeah whatever, I'm sure I'll have a girl someday blah blah blah to all you girl lovers...j/k :) (you know i'm just jealous!:) ...but for now..bring on the boys!!!

My Twilight weekend.....

It's 1:30 in the morning and I finished "twilight". I went online to order "New Moon" for only 10 bucks and it should be coming on Wednesday! I went on a search today at Walmart, Fry's and Walgreens (the only stores near my house) to find "New Moon" but I could only find "Eclipse".

But I went on Stephenie Meyer's website and I guess they ARE making a "Twilight" movie! She had a list of all the actors that she envisioned playing all the characters..it was fun to look at ..she got them spot on, of course. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_movie.html

The best was Edward....she thought the best actor for the part would be Henry Cavill, the son Albert on Count of Monte Cristo....which would actually be perfect!

..whoever they chose I hope it's good actors...

It's gonna be a long day or 2 waiting for "New Moon" to come in the mail....Anyways..I'm going to bed..I'm gonna be sorry tommorrow morning when Bastien wakes up early....

not so good memories......

So I'm stealing Dendi's "Memory Lane Monday" ..cause I'm bored. So here it goes.... The summer of 2000, I was 16. And my family and I were in California ..I was there for my "Sound Celebration" tour...(we sang and danced at Disneyland ..lame-o!) which I tried to ditch as often as I could to hang out with my sister Ana's in-laws, the Wolfgramm's and my family. Well for the 4th of July the younger "Jett's" were singing at this park in Chino Hills. And they had a stage set up with a canopy and stuff. Well my brother Sione and I were standing in the audience and like for one of the songs they were asking people to come on the stage to dance. And theyre all "Sione , Salena..come up here" I really didnt want to ..cause I have no dancing skills whatsoever and I wasnt about to try in front of a hundred or so people. But Sione made me. Well, I was wearing this dress that went a little below my knees. But the stage wasnt that high so I figured I could just jump on it like everyone else who was wearing pants. Well.. I really wish I was wearing pants....because my fitted dress wouldnt allow the small jump. My leg I used to jump on the stage didnt make it on the stage and I fell flat on my stomache!! No I didnt fall on my butt..or my knee...I fell on my freaking stomache!!! ....so I was basically laying down on the stage in front of TOO many people. Well..I tried to play it cool, got up and tried to dance like nothing happened. But I was shaking so bad with embarresment that I wasnt even close to being on beat with the music and everyone dancing ..I was just like moving back and forth clapping like an idiot. It was seriously the longest few minutes of my life. What's even worse...is one of the older Wolfgramm sisters got it on tape! And they all watched it later..so everyone who didnt get to see it..which wasnt a whole lot of people ..got to see it..and I got to relive it again. It was wonderful.

Steven at Bastien's age!!

Ok, so the only baby pictures I've seen of Steven are infant pictures and then the next age I've seen is like 4. So I've never gotten to see what Steven looked like at Bastien's age and what color hair he had then. Cause when he was 4 he already had light brown hair. But last night Steven's dad gave us a disc of a bunch of baby pics that Steven's grandma had. I was sooooo excited! Cause there were alot of Steven at Bastien's age! And he had crazy blonde hair at his age..Bastien's isnt even that blonde. Oh..and Steven had never even known what he looked like at this age! Anyways here are some cute ones....

ANa- He had an "Evan-do" (except Steven's wasnt as curly)

Steven's the youngest boy at the table

Steven's the youngest boy in alot of these pics (until Kevin was born)

I'm naming my next boy Edward!

......just kidding! But I have FINALLY started reading "Twilight"...and I am in love! I started at like 7:30 last night when Steven had a flight and couldnt put it down until like midnight...I wanted to keep reading but I knew i'd regret staying up in the morning. I am only like on page 2oo and something but I cant stop thinking about it! I dreamed about the book, too. I can see what everyone was so obsessed about. It'd be cool if they made a movie out of it..but I cant think of any actor that would do Edward justice. Anyways, ...I think I am gonna go read some more...

My 2nd (almost) fainting experience....

Yesterday was my 4 month check up. It's always nice and reassuring to hear the heartbeats...especially when you dont feel them moving around so much. I think theyre just still small for me to feel it all the time. I just feel little "swishes" every now and then. The heart beats are at 142 and 143..I looked online and they say a girls heart rate is usually above 140..but since they are barely above 140, I guess they could be boys, too! But last visit they were both around 148. Well I am having a "level 2" ultrasound next week. I guess it's like a really high-tech kinda ultrasound that my doctor says he schedules for twins to make sure everything is okay. And he says it's really hard on normal ultrasounds sometimes to tell if they are boys or girls..cause theyre so cramped in there, I guess. So next Thursday I'll finally know what i'm having! I dont really care if they are boys or girls. I'm pretty positive they might be both of the same though cause they have such similar heart rates. Anyways, before I really start to bore you...I wanted to tell you my fun little experience at the doctors yesterday. I had some blood drawn at the end and I walked over to where I schedule my next appointment. All the sudden everything started spinning and then started to go dark. I put my head down on the counter and a the nurse saw me and hurried up and got me a chair. My doctor just happened to be in the hall and there were like 3 nurses in the hall. I felt so weird and embarressed..tears started coming. The doctor like walked me over to a room ...and he said sometimes during pregnancy it happens more cause your blood pressure is lower. It's never happened to me before ever from getting blood drawn. I've fainted before. But it was at my own house in the middle of the night ..which is a different story thats actually really funny. But I felt so dumb for crying ..I was like" I dont even know why i'm crying" but a nurse made made feel better and said "It's okay, you're pregnant and emotional". Dont you hate when you start crying and there's like too many people around to see you!

We took Bastien to a splash playground in Chandler on Monday!
