Here are some of the highlights for February and early March Valentines Day Feb 14 I was spoiled on Valentines. I woke up to flowers, a card, balloons, and chocolates :) Then I enjoyed a delicious breakfast with my delicious husband lol. Got things done (meaning I finished all the loads of laundry) and pumped milk for baby. Then in the evening we had a good ol fashion dinner-and-a-movie kind of date night.  Major mahalos to Aunty Penny and Lahvjal for watching the keiki o ka aina. The kids had a blast with them (as usual). Plus, Aunty Penny always makes the coolest videos which I will always treasure! For our date night Aljay and I tried out this sushi buffet in Provo, watched the Maze Runner (it was alright), and then visited our sweet little valentine.  It was such a good day. To top it off, we came home and found a beautiful pink box on the kitchen counter. Pink box = Crumbl = most delicious chocolate chip cookies. Mike & Rachel dropped...

Awwwwwwwwww our babies :) Can't believe we have 5 kids and that they are growing so fast!!! Love our little tribe :) Leila Our Book Worm, Strong Girl, and Second Mom She is the best big sister and super helper I could ever ask for. She is doing really well in school and loooooves to read and color/draw. She gets shy in front of people but is so funny and witty.  She is a good girl and is always well behaved in school and church. She is an awesome eater (sometimes too awesome) and likes to watch food and craft youtube tutorials. She is so smart and sometimes a little botz to her brother Sefa. I crack up when I hear their conversations. She is turning 8 in March and is preparing to be baptized. We recently attended a Baptism Preview for all the primary kids who will be baptized this year. During the preview I couldn't help but feel so excited for Leila, not just because she will be getting baptized but because she will be starting Achievement Days this ...
