{{LiFe In ZiOn}}

As most of you may know, we now reside in Independence, Missouri, or as most people...the ones that live here would call it, ZION!! We moved here back in March 2008 from Orem, Utah! In February 2008, we flew out here as a family to come & surprise my mother-in-law for her birthday, and just to come & visit the family!!! Well, it must've been a good trip because when we got back home to Utah, my husband & I decided that it would be a good idea if we moved our family to Missouri so we could save some money, and possibly further our education. So we moved here on March 11, 2008, which is Tala's baby sister Lupe's birthday....not only did WE move back here, but so did the Yamauchi family, Sose & Loa! They were living in Laie, Hawaii for a couple months with Sose's family, but decided it would be better for them if they moved back to Missouri too. So.......here we all are, one BIG, HAPPY FAMILY living in ZION!! Since then, we have had an addition to our lil' family. We finally had our baby boy in May 2009!! His name is Ma'atoe Aveau Moe, and he is now almost 8 months old, but looks like he is almost 2, bahahahahahaha!! Tala is back in school now, working on getting his Bachelor's degree in Business. I am just a stay-at-home mother for now....and lovin' every second of it! Kacey is in the 4th grade at Blue Hills Elementary school, and she loves going to school!! We attend the Blue Mills ward here in Independence...i love the ward. I've made alot of NEW friends out here, and I've also grown to like it here alot more than I thought I would!! Other than all that, LIFE IS GREAT!!! Till' next time....
