Da Frandsens

We were finally able to bless Hala'i. It only took 4 months to get the grandparents here to be part of the circle, but with a little bit of faith and a good prayer it all fell into place. I have to say Thank you to my mom and dad for taking a two day journey to Utah special to make it happen. Thanks to my father-in-law for also taking the time to come up for two days just to be part of the circle. Thanks to Uncle Keli'i and Uncle Kendall and Fam for sharing that special moment with our family, and for sharing their preisthood with us. But mostly Thank you to my husband for keeping himself worthy to excersise his preisthood in the way that the Lord intended. A fathers blessing is always the most special. The Little Girl of the Hour... Always gotta have something in her mouth. The circle... Grandpa Ursua, Uncle Kendall, Bishop Slater, Grandpa Frandsen, Daddy, Hala'i and Uncle Keli'i Grandma and Grandpa Ursua... Gummy and Papa Frandsen Our Little Family... Kaleila'a, ...

Happy 4 Months Hala'i! Ok so Hala'i actually turned 4 months like a couple weeks ago and will be 5 months next week I really wanted to put write about all the new stuff she is doing lately that is just too cute. = She laughs... and not just a haha kind of laugh but Kalei can really get her going and it is so funny to watch. = =She is starting to move... Since she has learned to roll over she has also started to learn to move. Mostly backwards or sideways but it can be fun to watch when she is trying to get her hands on something. = = She has learned to hold her bottle. When she wants it bad enough she will grab it and hold it all by herself. Gotta teach um young...= Here is to whatever may come next!!

**Ok so I totally suck cause I have not updated this thing in like month... But here is an update in photos of the lastest that has been happening. ** We got to spend Halloween in Kona with my family... Kalei was Tinkerbell and Hala'i was a punpkin. Kalei had fun although she kept it short (thankgoodness) and Hala'i feel asleep before we even finished looking at the candy. We got to watch uncle Nai'a and uncle John play the last home game of the season and win it in over time. It was an awesome game and I was soooo happy that I could be there to support my brothers. Kalei was excited to watch uncle play football. Now that it is over she is still telling me we have to go to the game. I got to take the girls to the beach. It was Hala'i's first time and she liked the water. We went to Keiki ponds so it was mellow enough to play. Kalei even made a little friend while we were there. Even this she is still asking to go the beach... I wish! Kalei got to play with Uncle Nai...

Ok so it has been 10 months since we left Hawaii and for the longest I have been dieing to come back, but airfare is impossible, even with my moms flying benefits. So my family decided to help me out with this and fly to vegas, drive to Salt Lake to pick me and the girls up and then we drove back to Vegas, flew to Honolulu then back to Kona. Holy cow it was crazy and all within a few days. But man does it feel nice to be home. Although I have no idea how I survived the humidity growing up, cause crap this is CRAZY.... can not do nothing without sweating. MAN... We survived the long red eye back to Hawaii. Waiting for to get on the plane to Kona... Kalei needed a snack.

Man how time flys. She's 3 months and getting bigger by the minute. Hala'i is one happy baby... she always has a smile on her face and it so easy to make laugh. She even loves to talk (like her sister)... she will squack and talk to anyone who will listen or even if no one is listening. SOOO Cute! Hala'i lovest sit up, she will stay on the floor but for only so long, she likes to sit up to see what is going on. She has already gotten pretty good at holding herself up. When she smiles she is so silly, it is always big and just filled with joy. Hala'i was making googly faces at her daddy. Trying to steal the spotlight from her big sis. She is a ham.

OK so having two children has proven to be a computer time killer. Not that its bad but it is harder to find time to update this silly thing. So anyway here is the Update in so things we have been up too. OCT. 2, 2008 Oregon State Vs. U of U I guess I will start last on the 2nd, Kaai and I got to go to check out a Big time college game thanks to a closer family friend Suesi Tuimaunei who is more like family (who plays for Oregon). We got to watch Oregon State play U of U. Holy Cow that was a nail biter that came down to the last 2 seconds litterally. WOW it was aswesome and we were glad that we got to go support Suesi. Even though they lost it was an awesome game. It was fun too cause Audz, Kendall and Ren (Audz little sis) got to come with us. Was nice to have our little Iosepa St. cheering squad. OCT. 4, 2008 SUU Vs. Youngstown St. Next in our week came our saturday trip to SUU to watch uncle Jared play. Dang it was freezing and raining the whole time but that what family is for...ri...

Playing Water Yesterday was a beautiful day outside and so we took advantange of the warmth and played outside. Kaai worked on the new playhouse he is building for Kalei and we decided to play water. The water was freezing but it was fun anyway. Kalei had fun making the boat go in circles Say cheese! Even Hala'i tried her feet in the water, She didn't like! Our litte "white" hawaiian girl. Sisters! Pretty in Pink! I have been dieing to get the girls matchin outfits but I have to wait till Hala'i is a little bigger. So the next best thing was matching colors. I thought they looked so pretty. I even got lucky and got a smile out of Hala'i. Priceless...

It was another great week for Ursua family football. Sadly JohnJohn was sick and was unable to play, but mom said he is better and should be good for this coming week. Although his team did pull out the victory, but i don't know the score. Kealakehe Vs. Waiakea Varsity did awesome this week, winning 58-12. Kealakehe's Jordan Ursua (5) speeds down the sideline headed for the end zone while returning a second-quarter punt for a touchdown during the Waveriders' 58-12 win over Waiakea Saturday. Ursua is being pursued by Waiakea's Douglas Vares (35), left, and Kristofffer Daquep (45), center. SUU vs. N. AZ Another bummer for SUU this week, they lost 19-14, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. Hard fought game but they are still working out a lot of kinks. However dispite the upset the highlight of the game for me came early in the forth when Jared caught a pass to score SUU's second touchdown. He also got to play a couple plays as QB.

Sadly to day is game day and I am stuck at home unable to support any of my brothers. First Uncle Jared plays N. AZ, and I just found out from my mom he will be playing starting QB not to mention tonight is SUU's homecoming game. This is why is sucks only having one car...Blah! Anyway I wished him good luck and I will be cheering for him no matter what happens. Later tonight Kealakehe plays Waiakea. Little brother John got sick yesterday and will be out for tonights game, which means he must be really sick because this boy never sacrifices a game, cold or growing pain...litterally. But we hope he gets better and he should be back next week. Uncle Nai'i should be playing QB this game and hopefully the team has less mistakes this week and came pull off a big win! On a side note, my mom called to telll me about this article that the Hilo paper wrote on Nai'a and the game he had last week. It is amazing to me because the Hilo paper always writes great articles about Kona teams,...

Only 2 months has pasted but Hala'i has grown so much. She gets up in the morning with a big smile everytime and squacks to who ever will listen. I have a feeling she will be a talker like Kaleila'a. Her lasted mileston though is rolling over, when laying next to me on my bed she somehow wiggles her way to be right up against me and when I get up she gets enough momentum to roller over. She has done it a few times but she usually starts on her side, this morning however she was on her back and rolled to her tummy. It was cute. 2 Months... 2 Fast!

Growing up I loved music but didn't really start listening to it on my own until I was about 11 or 12. Until then whatever I listened to was what my dad played in the car i.e. UB40, Hoaikane, Ka'au Crater Boys, or what he played at home like on christmas we never went without listening to Stevie Wonder and Jackson 5...NEVER!. So as grew up I was exposed to whatever my dad listened to. In about the 6th grade I wanted to listen to stuff in my room so I took my dad record player and put it in my room. Now remember this was the 90's already but my first music player was his record player, and the only records he had was Stevie Wonder recorder. Classics. This is where I first heard, Master Blaster (later remixed by a young local singer but I never thought he did it justice), Happy Birthday, Isn't she lovely, Love's in need of Love, and an unknown song call I am singing which he sings in African, French and then English. Now in my family this song is special because back ...

Once upon a time when Kaleila'a was a tiny baby she would fall asleep in her daddys arms. Now two years later her little sister has found the same comfort. **Notice the line of drull down Kaai's hand, she was tired...

Although we were not able to watch this weekend my 3 brothers played some good games. First Uncle Jared played against Montana. They lost but Jared did get the ball three time for about 16+ yards. Nothing amazing but atleast it was someting. I am still very proud of him for his hard work and dedication to the team. They are a young team and they will come around. Next came our hawaii boys. Both Nai'a and John play for Kealakehe Waveriders. John (Kalanikoki) plays JV wide reciever. According to mom Kalanikoki scored one touchdown and helped with the extra point. JV won Hilo 38-6. Now Vars was a whole nother game. According to mom this game was totally fustrating, cause Hilo refs suck big time. Talk about JUICE! Bad calls from the refs and silly mistakes from Kealakehe made it difficult to play as well as they should have. Although the highlight for me is that Kanai'a stepped up and played quarterback. For weeks now everytime mom and me talk the conversation goes to Nai'a and...
