It's been a while since I've done one of these....and my oh my how the kids have grown.

Let's start with the baby..

Metuli Lapreal
1 year 6 months

She has 8 teeth
sometimes she bites just for kicks and giggles
She can go up and down the stairs without help (crawls up and slides down on her belly)
She is an awesome eater. Feed her and she'll be your friend.
Is starting to repeat things we say and do
She most often calls out for Leila. Her go-to sibling for help.
She can call Mom and Dad
She's starting to repeat sounds and syllables
She loves to pull all the plugs and wires in the house, but mostly the one for the tv
She's tosses and turns about 356 times before knocking out for bed
She's queen moefeeks
Has a kungfu grip
Has a funny and spunky personality
She gets super feisty and aggressive when she's hungry (but who doesnt)
She's really quite an easy baby and doesn't cry a lot...or maybe she does but it's drowned out by Saleima and Viiga
She has a little bit of eczema all over her body but it hasn't become so severe that she is itchy and uncomfortable yet. Crossing my fingers it stays that way.
If anything ever goes missing (mostly car keys) just walk around the house thinking to yourself "where would Tuli go?" and you'll end up finding the lost item in the most random places of the house

Saleima Lupeautino
3 years old

this child is the cutest thing around....but she's also crazy ahhahah
she can be super irritz....she's in that age where she cries and whines for things...we're working together on that one
She is very particular on how she wants her hair. She always says she wants her hair like Leila's...but mostly wears it down all the time.
One time Aljay put her hair up in a bun for church and she ran to the bathroom to check and started screaming! Aljay went to check on her and she cries "i hate my hair!" ...smh
One time she told Aunty Brittany "i like horses and boys" and i was ready to punch her LOL i'm kidding...kind of....i'll probably want to punch her forreals when she gets to her teen years lol
She's unintentionally hilarious and makes us smile all the time
She shares a room with Leila but often ends up on our bed halfway through the night
She is definitely a cuddler
She always wants to rub my belly...it's annoying.
She is Aunty Penny's #1 Fan.

Viiga Taagaomanusisina

5 years old

still wild
still asks a million questions
loves to pick flowers for me.....but we don't have any flowers growing so he keeps taking the neighbors flowers lol sorry neighbors
always missing his shoes
loves to be a good listener....but only when he's in the mood for it...which is hardly ever #selectivehearing
loves recording videos and taking pictures....i should make him an instagram page lol
He tried to get adopted to Penny and Lahvjal....like seriously asked Aljay and I if he could go live with them forever and then started saying his goodbye's to his siblings lol
Still makes friends everywhere he goes (it's his super power)
Never likes to share but is the number one police when other's have to share
He's such a bright kid and a big ding dong all at the same time
Most days we want to put him up for sale but dangit we can't live without him.
He also still tells me I'm beautiful at the most random times. I guess we'll keep him.

Iosefa Letoaimealelei Uilifoti

7 years old

I have the least amount of photos of this guy because he's always off doing stuff, keeping himself occupied without electronics
He's an awesome helper!
By far the best cleaner we have. His room is always tidy and he is really good at making the bed.
always so thoughtful with his prayers; 'please bless Mom that she won't be stressed out tomorrow' ...egg
Loves to dance
Has taken an interest in baseball....I got UVU tickets for Aljay to take the boys (and Leila) to their first baseball game and they had so much fun
We love witnessing his personality.
He's witty and funny
He is so helpful with the younger kids but sometimes loses his temper with Viiga (don't blame him)
He is a goofball
He turns 8 this month and will be baptized next month! We're so excited for him!

Leila Tauaneai

9 years old

She's pretty responsible and independent
She is hilarious, cracks us up all the time with the things she says and does
She's Brittany's mini...like forreals she reminds us of Brittany alllll the time...and she loooves to go eva with Brit whenever she gets the chance
She is quite the tomboy and loves to dress comfortably, in other words basketball shorts and large tshirts on the daily
She doesn't love doing chores but she's pretty obedient and can be bribed hahaha
She loves to take selfies and record videos on my phone
She watches a lot of youtube videos and conducts "experiments" all the time (most of the time without us knowing)...I only find out after I see a whole bottle of hand soap used up (she used it to make slime) and a bowl of leftover chocolate (because she made a chocolate dip and ate it all with her siblings) ...hooiiii...i keep having to remind her to ASK FIRST! lol

I was going to post about Baby #6 but ummm....I haven't even been to the doctor yet lol I'll update on him/her soon though. For now...he's a few pics of the current five--
