So now that my students uncle is on TV I was definitely watching. Plus there are two more brothers at the school and I had one of them two years ago. Each time they showed home shots, I saw my cute students little faces for split seconds, and saw their mom a few times too.
This week at school the 6th graders did country reports and they invite the other grades to come and take an Around the World trip etc. Well the oldest boy in this family did Tonga...and today the two uncles came to do the dance with him! I arranged for my class to be there so my student could see his family and I shook Sione's hand when he asked if I was the teacher. They were both very nice and signed lots of autographs for the kids, who knew they were "celebrities." It was very exciting for the three classes who were there. I was too chicken to ask for a picture with them even though others were but I did get this video and let me just tell you they look better in person than on TV. Filipe looks good, but Sione is a total hottie... yes, they are both married....just an observation.
Here they are with a little performance at Alma Elementary School.
p.s. they are now teaching their fitness classes at Mesquite High every other Saturday.

I love that show. How cool that they came!
That is SOOOOOOO cool! We too loved these guys and wished they would of won the whole thing!
Deanna, that is cool to me because I saw that all the time over at BYUH. They love everyone and their culture is really cool. That's awesome they came to the school and how cute that the kids asked for their autographs.
They crack me up. My aunt is Polynesian. I have so many good memories of being among Tongans and Samoans. Every week I watched them I would cry and think of family I know and love, and watch how hard these two were working. A-mazing! I hope they can make a change. My aunt's brother just died recently from problems with obesity. . .like they said, their culture lives for being overweight. . .
I'm so glad that you left me a message on my old blog. I haven't looked at it in forever and just happend to click on it by accident today and saw that I had a new message.
Your little boy is darling and you look awesome. It was fun catching up a little from your blog. Mine, as you know is private, but if you email me at courtneyfisher09@yahoo.com I will send you an invite.
That is so sad to hear that you are not appreciated! That truly breaks my heart because being a teacher is hard compassionate work...thanks for your sweet comments..miss your cute family!
