Eme & Nevaeh

I just wanted to post a couple a cute pictures from California. Eme got to meet her cousin Nevaeh for the first time. Don't they look like they are gonna be great friends??

Little did Eme (white girl) know, that Nevaeh (FULL BLOODED TONGAN) doesn't just act a month older than her like she really is; but instead acts like she's a whole year older than her! Nevaeh stands up and tries to walk, crawls like she's been doing it for years, and wrestles poor little Eme like a Tongan Bully! Nevaeh just wanted to "play" with Eme, but Eme likes games like peek-a-boo, "beh", singing songs, etc....NOT RUGBY! Poor baby girl, check out that lip while Neva just "plays" with her! Love you baby Neva, we are glad to finally meet you !!!

A few firsts...

This last month brought a few firsts for our little girl, Emeline. She got to experience her first tooth....

Her first plane ride...

She got to visit another state, California...

her first funeral...

She got to eat WHATEVER got put in her hands....

she also experienced her first HALLOWEEN!!

I seriously can't believe how big my little girl is getting. She is such a fun, happy, healthy addition to our family. I don't know where we would be without our little, Eme!

Grandpa Walter Phillip...s Wolfgramm

Grandpa Wolfgramm left this world on October 20th, 2008; just 4 days shy of his 88th birthday. He will FOREVER be missed. Grandpa was such a great example to all of us. He showed selflessness, love, compassion, dedication, faith, devotion, and many many other things. He was such a worthy man of the gospel, and was NEVER afraid to share his testimony. As I sit down here t0 write a little somthing about grandpa, I am pulled in so many directions. I want to tell about his faith, his love, his selflessness, his devotion, his example and all the many things he did to display this. I want to tell about the diversity of people who sat at his viewing for the full 6 hours that Friday night to hear the stories of this wonderful man. I want to tell about the "gangbangers" who stopped by the house when they heard of his passing, because grandpa never judged. I want to tell about the worldly things he had that ment absolutly nothing to him and that he sacrafised in order to help out a friend in need. There are so many things I learned about my grandpa in that short 5 days we spent in his home town of Chula Vista I feel so blessed to have had him in my life. Even though we spent a short amount of time together because we were so far apart, he has touched my life more than he will ever know. We had such a beautiful time paying our last respects to our grandfather, it seemed like more of a party than a morning. That's how grandpa would want it. We all sat in the viewing wearing our white clothes instead of the traditional black, because grandpa said that's what he wanted. He was going to heaven, so we should all be there in white. And that's what we did. I seriously could go on and on about my grandpa, but for now I just want to say Thank you grandpa for your Christ like example, and showing me the more important things in life. We love you so much, and can't wait to meet again. Take care of all of us down here, and help our little lost sheep in the family. (me included) :) You will forever be in our hearts , We love you!!
