Highlights in the Manu fam....

First of all Tyler had his first newspaper article come out in the school newspaper... he wrote about the budget crisis and how it is affecting school sports... he has such a passion for writing and for sports.... so congrats for a job well done.... and we look forward to many more..... also Kala ran for the office of safety director... she made her own posters, shirts, and speech... she didn't ask for any help.... So today I went to her campaign convention... to watch her speech.... she was so great... no nerves, no stumbling... just got up there and rocked.. it... so we had to wait for the results AAAALLLLLL day... I couldn't wait to pick them up from school to find out the result.... well guess what... she won.... !!! I couldn't be more prouder.. that she went out there and worked so hard... for this ... and stuck with it... she is going to be great.... now on to Jayden... he has finally found an interest in sports.. and has been playing flag football for school... I think he has always been hesitant to play sports because he always gets put on a team with kids his age.. only 1 problem.. he is was bigger than them... so this year he is in on the intermediate side of school and gets to play with 5gh and 6th graders.. so he is much happier... he fits in.... so we will see how long he likes sports... as for lil Josiah... he has been talking so much and will repeat anything you say... his new thing is turn the tv on... turn the radio on turn the lights on... anything that can be turned on and off he wants you to do...LOL... so on to the parents.. Kam recently got a new calling as 2nd counselor for the elders quorum for your ward at church.. I am so proud of him and all his growing accomplishments.... he works so hard... and we are grateful for him.... as for me ..well I have just been keeping it all together.... and I also have lost 10 lbs.... whoo... hoo... it is so hard.. but I am trying... anyways thanks for catching up with the Manu's stay tune to see what else we are up to..... =)

Kakala ...our lil go getter......!!!

The past 2 weeks Kala has been trying out for the volleyball team at her school... she has been working so hard.. and giving it her all... well today all that hard work really paid off ...as she was chosen to be on the team.. b4 she ran up to me I sat there trying to think of something to say to comfort her in case she didn't make it... lets just say I'm so glad she made it because I really didn't come up with anything to say to her if she didn't... on top of volleyball she also has decided to learn the piano and flute too.... she is doing really well with both... she also is in chorus and taking drama classes. and as of last week she is running for the office of safety director, which she has worked on a speech and posters... then tonight she mad shirts for her campaign. She is not a bit nervous to get up in front of the whole school and say her speech.... She is also in her 5th year of girl scouts as a Jr. next year she will bridge to a Cadette... I know what your thinking..that is way too much for her to be doing, and we shouldn't push to do all... the funny thing is.. is that we haven't pushed her the slightest bit... she is just a natural go getter... and she is surprising me everyday she never complains nor gives up... we are so proud of her and her accomplishments and her desire to be involved in things.... We look forward to the many more challenges that she involves herself in....Good Job...sweetie =)

Boys can play dress-up too!!!
