Today the kids had their primary program. They all did well with their parts. This is the first year that they all memorized their parts. Not bad, it only took me 7 years. The kids were asked to wear cultural attire if they had any. If you all remember my post about my friend from high school, well she happened to be passing through Hawaii and dropped off the tupenu. Tyler was sooooo excited to get it and wear it to church. I had one of the boys from church at our house at the time that Tyler got his tupenu. Tyler turned to the boy with his tupenu in hand and said, "See! Now do you believe me that I'm Tongan!" The boy laughed and said, "Now I do."Of course, the Tongan side of our family is beaming with pride that that 3/16th Tongan in my children is shining through, at least in Tyler. The rest of them are proud of their heritage, it just isn't as visible, heck you can barely see it in me.

Hey Tyler, you look very sharp in your new tupenu. I promise next time we are in Tonga to look for a nice ta'ovala for you, if you want! Take care and love you!!!

Wow! He really looks like a tamasi'i Tonga.... I'm glad it fit him. vika was worried it would be too long :)
He looks good in his tupenu. I didn't think of making Ethan one coz he is hawaiianized. He suits it though.
He looks so handsome! Congrats on them memorizing their parts! I know what your saying you can't really tell that I'm Samoan and the last name Westover sure doesn't help the cause!!
I love that he's so proud, I would be too!
He looks so handsome!!! How cute is he? I just want to pinch his widdle bitty cheeks. I mean, "you look cool dude." LOL ;0P
