My chanes family!!!!

We just got back from our 1 week vacay in casa grande Arizona. Ray's MOms side family reunion hosted by uncle tony and aunty irene. I'm so greatful and loved to be part of this family and for everything they do for me. I loved to be around them because they make feel at home from the first day i met all of them. When i am away from my own family i don't feel like i am somewhere else whenever i am with them because its just like being around my crazy loving family too. lol. I am so thankful for ladies in this family my mother in law, aunty becky and aunty irene because they are like having another mom around me. Though they all live in different states i know that whenever i need that person to talk to they are always there. I know manaia is thankful for them too because they are like her other grandmas. Its like they just feel in that shoe when one of them are with us. I am blessed and loved for having them in my life rays life and manaia's life, and i know if my momma was here she would say the same thing too.

i can't believe how time has just passed us by especially with our baby girl. She has me and ray smiling everyday with the things she does and that little smile of hers. She will be4yrs old in less the month and my heart is breaking because she is growing up :(. I love my manaia sooooo sooo much she brings joy into my life everyday. I am so glad that i got to be with her at home for these past couple of years and i wouldn't trade it for anything. Manaia has learn new things daily from holding her own bottle, discovering her hands and feet, her first words crawling to taking her first steps and now going to the potty. I am so proud of my baby girl :) she loves to read books and loves music and dancing her favorite song is BABy justin beiber she jumps up and down stops whatever she is doing when she hears that song lol..she loves to play with her cousins watch Barney, and Loves to eat eat eat..lol. When she sees me sad she comes to me and gives me a hug and kiss and helps me feel better. She loves to play tricks on her dad especially getting what she wants with him when she just gives him the look ray is a sucker lol..she is smart she knows how to get her dad and i sit there and just laugh but ray loves that and he does whatever will make his little girl happy..We are so blessed and thankful everyday to have Manaia in our lives and i think since the first week we brought her home we have done an awesome job raisng her.I love my baby girl and even though my heart is sad because i have one more year home with her i am for ever greatful everyday.
