Don't Ever Grow Up

From the moment each of my children are born, I am constantly telling them not to grow up. I am always wishing that I could freeze time and keep them just as they are. I have really been wishing that with Dreysen lately. It seem like since Zeland was born, he has grown up sooo much...yeah I know that it's to be expected, but I really can't believe how much Drey has grown up lately. 
Dreysen has been my little helper lately! I'll ask him to do something for me and he'll get right to it. Especially helping with his little brother. He's so overprotective over Zee. The other day their cousins were over, Rina and Evalon, and knowing kids...they are always fighting over this and that. As soon as Drey saw one of them try and touch his little brother, he'd tell them to leave my "brodder" (as Drey would pronounce it lol) alone!
Since Zeland is our little "vacuum" and eating everything and anything. If Drey see's Zee eating something, he'll go up to him, squeeze his cheeks, ask him what he's eating and try and take whatever is out of his mouth. Its so funny! Sometimes Zee will bite his fingers and Drey would just grab his hand and "sasa" him! haha


Drey is my first born and I can't believe how much he has grown! Here is a list of Drey's Favorites and some of his moments that I wanted to dot down...
- New favorite saying "OH MY GOODNESS!" I can't help but laugh when he see's a mess on the floor or if Zeland is eating something that he's not supposed to...It's so funny when Drey says that.
-Saimini (spellchk?) I have a picky eater on my hands! All he wants to eat is this!
-He loves going to the Library thats down the street from us, to play on the computers and read books.
-He hates going outside without his Shoes. Sometimes he'll even grab his dads shoes and wear them out haha
-For his Primary samoan part "Ou te usitai ia Iesu Keriso"...So far he has remembered everything but "ia" haha I'm so proud of him and can't wait to see him on White Sunday.
-When brushing his teeth, he now knows that he's not supposed to Swallow the water when rinsing. I just started using regular toothpaste instead of the toddler kind and so far so good!
-Current Favorite Song- "Find your love" by Drake (just the chorus) and "toot it and boot it"
-He is always giving me kisses and saying "i love you mommy" Its so sweet:)
-He hates putting his hair in a ponny tail. Every time I try and attempt to do so...he says "I'm not a girl!" lol
At least he know's he's a boy!
-But..if you ask him if he's a boy...He'll say "I'm da MAN!" lol (something Daddy told him to say haha)
-Loves to Dance and Sing!
-Taking baths
-Loves IRON MAN

-Hooked on TOY STORY 3


The other day we were just watching movies and out of no where he says to me "mommy? I want to go to my other home! I want Nana" I was assuming he meant in UT and I honestly wanted to cry! I'm still missing my family like crazy and I know Drey misses them too.

It seems like yesterday he was born and next year...he'll be starting school! OMG, like I said..I just want to freeze time and keep them just as they are. But life goes on so I will enjoy and cherish these memories with them while they are young:)
