March Madness

No, not basketball but family updates.  Haha!  Lots and lots to tell this month so here's the usual bullet list because I didn't want to blog about each thing individually.  Does that make me a lazy mom?  Whatevs.  I love making lists so here goes....

TALANOA:
-got her 7th tooth.
-pretends to brush her bald head now with Elina's brush.
-holds the phone to her head and tries to say "Hello" and uses shoes, toys, etc as phones as well.
-can clap.
-waves bye-bye.
-is the cutest little copycat.  She sticks her tongue out when we do, copies us when we rub our bellies, covers her face to play peek-a-boo with us and tries to copy words we say.
-understands when we say "uma" by bringing her lips or head in for a kiss.
-lays down to sleep when we tell her to "nite nite"
-plays Ring Around the Rosey with us but now sits down in the middle of the song and screams "Dooown!"  It's sooo funny!  I guess she thinks she's cool that she knows the next part of the song?
-use her walking toy to balance and is learning to walk.

ELINA:
-can say a prayer now with our help!  She usually does the food prayer because those are always nice and short and she does a great job.
-says "Bless you" when we sneeze.  Never taught her this.  She just learned by seeing us do it.
- not-so-good phrases she uses:  "Nigga what? and Damn it".  She uses them correctly which makes it even worse.  I am a horrible example.  Should've listened to my mom growing up when she said watch my language.
-asks for McDonald's on a regular basis now.  Lol.
-new favorite songs:  Pat-a-cake, Wiggles (song from story time at the library).
-has been quite the little scardy cat lately.  Any loud unexpected noise to her are "the mooonsters" (in the lowest deepest voice she can make) to her.  Doesn't help that Vili scares her more on purpose.
-is the best little helper around the house even when her help is not wanted.  Lol!  She helps me find things all the time like my phone and keys and gets me diapers, wipers, and baby powder when I'm changing her sister's diaper.  All I here is, "Mommy I find it!"  I love it!

VILI AND I:
-got my first facial experience this month from Shanel.  One whole hour and it was the bomb!
-debating what color to dye my hair next month.  Excited!
-finally got to use my running shoes Vili bought for my birthday back in 2009.  Hahahaha!  Walked Timpview/Quail with Dom, Cheka, Amy Freeman and our bebes.  Hard but so fun :)  Gotta get this body toned and ready for summer.
-took the kids to the BYU luau yesterday (thanks Mom for the free tickets).  Seeing people perform makes me miss dancing sooo much!  I need to get back into it but then I think I'm old, out of shape, and need to STOP.  hahahaha
-Vili roasted three pigs for our ward conference this past Sunday and they were soooo yummy!  He missed church to make them and I'm sure he volunteered himself for that reason alone.  Lol!
-Vili had a waste-of-time interview at the airport.  Who interviews people when they're not hiring? Annoying!
-Vili feels like he's being deprived of guys nights.  I say he's lucky I let him go at all.  Lol.

Wrestle Me!  Lol
