THIS IS ME????

Living as a family

poipuppy16 — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:22:39 +0000

WOW, my mom is gone and now we are truly learning what it means to be a family of our own. This has been a great time of growth for myself and my family.

Amanda is great with Keona and me. Last night I stated that amanda has two kids, Keona and me! I know I am the father but to just hang out with my daughter, granted she doesn’t do much, I love it. She is beautiful! I often think during the day, God how amazing you are to create pure beauty with a messed up person like myself.

God is great and I am very tankful for his grace that he has and is giving me!

Keona is now 32 days old! Amazing!

Have a great day!

Back to WORK!

Today was day 3 away from Amanda and Keona. It was difficult yet seemed to be a bit easier knowing very well that Amanda is an amazing mother! I love my wife! She has now not only been able to take care of me but now has been able to keep both me and Keona fed and cleaned!

Today after work we went out looking for a new diaper bag. Why is it that they are not up to any of my standards? Is it all about how it looks? Because I feel that fashion has taken the priority over necessity. Or have I just gone mad? At the end of our semi-fruitful shopping mission we found a cute hat that we just had to take a picture with her. I say with her due to the fact that if we tried to put it on her it would have consumed her head, face and maybe her upper body. So I thought it would be a great pic.

that hat is bigger than her!

This outing was a great time for myself. I feel like I got to connect with my wife and just hang out. I love it. It has given me some fuel to keep going. Thank you my love for getting me out shopping with you. And thanks for sharing a strawberry smoothie from surf city squeeze.

Late!

Our New Addition

poipuppy16 — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 07:09:58 +0000

On March 26, 2010 Amanda gave birth to the bundle of joy that God has blessed us with. Her name is Keona Uluwehi Evangeline He Ping. She came out weighing 6 pounds and 3 ounces, and stretching out to a full 19 inches. Not so bad for coming out 3 weeks early. Now she is roughly 6 pounds thanks to a scale given to us from the Ferraro’s. Thank you!

I know this may be short but I want to think that it is sweet. So I don’t feel so bad. I will get back to you tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.

Mahalo,

A New Dad!

Sitting at our house

poipuppy16 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:24:49 +0000

Just sitting and waiting for our floor guys to either come back to finish or let me know that they are not coming back so I can lock up and leave. What is it that we strive for in our houses? Some strive to have what others don’t and others like me just want to make it live-able.

Right now our carpet and kitchen floor people finished the carpet in our bedroom yet have left and not finished the kitchen floors. On top of that they left the house wide open. What were they thinking?

Mothers Day

poipuppy16 — Mon, 11 May 2009 01:46:37 +0000

Today we went to church in the am and now are back the night service. This is the actual service that we attend. I am excited to hear what God has to say through Pastor Nathan.
It is also my brothers birthday today. Yes he was born on mothers day. I think wow what a great mothers day gift. The joy of labor. Thank you Mom for my younger brother.

AVP Finals in Riverside

poipuppy16 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:56:51 +0000

It was amazing. Great blocks, awesome digs, and pounding spikes off of blocks shanked digs and my favorite, off of the blockers HEAD/FACES. I wish I got a picture of them. But I do have other pictures and they will be here soon. I hope! I want to thank my sister for amazing tickets for each day. My friends all benefited. Thanks Stacy!

Volleyball

poipuppy16 — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:51:58 +0000

Watching the AVP is amazing. I hope that they come back to Riverside every year. I think that it is a great venue for the city and for the culture that we have her in riverside. I feel that there are not many families that get to experience the life of beach volleyball and by having the AVP hosted by riverside in downtown I love it. To see professional athletes competing in our city it is a amazing. Did I say that it was amazing. I am thinking about going back for tonights session. Well it is down to eight teams and four of them have not even lost their first match.

Bring it!

AVP in Riverside

poipuppy16 — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 05:52:41 +0000

The first round of the AVP in Riverside was great! Some great games and with the tickets that my amazing sister got for me and my friends was SWEET! Sitting on some couches, chating with great friends, in the VIP tent. Can it get any better? Oh and did I mention hanging out with the professional volleyball players as well.

I wish I was still playing volleyball and that I was good enough to enter into the AVP. These guy’s are heads over the net crushing the ball straing down. Can you say hops! Well off to bed to rest for another great day of watching some of the best volleyball players in the world. Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers play at 12:00 tomorrow can’t wait. And in our back yard (Downtown Riverside) How amazing is this. Too bad Misty May is out due to injury, but congrats to Walsh with her soon to be new born. Can’t wait to see you back on the court.

Peace out!

Good Friday Service

poipuppy16 — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 05:45:23 +0000

On Friday Sandals Church had a good Friday service in peoples homes, over the inter-net, and in a theater in mo val. I was blessed to go to the one in mo val due to my wonderful wife and her job. I thought the video was cool, but the best part was that I got to see the amazing work that God is during in peoples lives, so although I thought it would be better to just watch the video at home I now know that it was better to be in the presence of other believers and to go through it with them. Tomorrow would have been the day in which Jesus rose. We are so blessed to know the outcome of the event. Because it was tremendously hard for me to picture what I would have felt and done if I was present during these events. Would I Deni Christ three times? Would I run and hide? Would I give up on truth? Would I just join the crowd?

We are so blessed to live with knowing the truth. now I am not saying it is any easier to be a believer but I am saying that by knowing what happened we don’t have to live with the burden of true disconnection from God. The loneliness that Jesus felt upon the cross, to be separated from God. I pray that whoever is reading my blog will help me to live a life that is a pleasing to God and that I am constantly living to serve His Kingdom.

The choice is ours, he gives us the freedom of choice. To chose him or not. My choice is Him. What is your choice? Let us stay together and help each other become strong in Him and share His word.

Wow that was long. Have a great night and let us celebrate tomorrow the day of our Lord and Savior!

Getting my Jesus on!

poipuppy16 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:01:52 +0000

Sitting here and waiting to get my worship on. God is so good. I get to see kids that are out of high school and coming to church. I pray that I was not a negative influence on their life. I pray that I am a good influence and a good representative for God. Worship is starting Gotta go. Peace!
