Nia loves...: Marvelous May

My kids are napping so I tried to watch Gossip Girls but it couldn't load my episode. I figured it might be a sign that I need to take a break from GG and take some time to catch up on my blog. May has been a crazy month filled with so much fun for our little family. We've been keeping real busy and we like it that way. Here's what we've been up to:

Talanoa:
-had her 12 month appointment and is apparently a very large 1 yr old! Lol! She is 32 inches (99%) and 23.7 lbs (91%).
-loves to help clean up her toys especially in the bath.
-thinks it's funny when she tries to jump. She says jump but really just goes on her tiptoes. It's cute and she thinks it's hilarious!
-passes us snacks and expects us to open them for her because she says, "Some!" aka "I want some."
-pretends to clip our nails with the nail clippers and cries if we don't give her our fingers and toes to pretend with.
-can say book and loves when we read to her. She also said "stinky boo boo" today when I was changing her diaper but I'm pretty sure it was some freak accident that it was so clear.
-shares with everyone except Elina. Oh, the sisterly love. Lol
-seriously can't function without a binky in her mouth at all times. Uh oh! What have I done?!
-knows how to put chapstick and lip gloss on. I have such girly girls!

Elina:
-says the funniest things all the time like. Lately it's, "Daddy take her" (her as in herself) when Vili is heading out the door.
-sings the clean up song and pretends to be putting things away when she's caught playing with our wallets or destroying the diaper bag. Haha!
-has to be bribed to eat anything these days.
-is in a really clingy stage especially since I started working again. Every time we go somewhere she thinks I'm dropping her off to go to work so she won't ever leave my side. Breaks my heart!
-prefers to be in my CTR 5 class and still refuses to go to nursery. Sometimes she doesn't even want to go to church at all. She is her father's daughter! Lol Me: Elina, you wanna go church? Elina: No, I go night night mommy. Hahahaha!
-favorite thing to do lately is jump around and say, "Mommy, I chumping!"
-favorite movie this month is "A Turtle's Tale"
-still loves to sing and pretty much dances to any music she hears. Even background songs in movies.

Vili and I:
-I started working at Provo Canyon School as a receptionist again last week! It's just on-call so not a whole lot. Just enough to let me refresh and have some much needed time away from home.
-I dyed my hair brown and I am finally used to it and like it a lot.
-Vili has been golfing a lot lately with the punch pass we bought him. Glad he enjoys it!
-We both got called to be assistant scout leaders in our ward. Vili has been dying for this calling since we got married. Lol! He just loves camping and all things manly and I guess me and the 2 girls aren't cutting it in that department. Hahaha!
-Vili took Elina on her first fishing experience this month and she loved it! When she got home she couldn't stop talking about the fishies, the water, and feeding the fishies her fishies (goldfish snacks). Lol!
-We finally used our Pass of All Passes! Took the kids to Trafalga and Seven Peaks. So much fun!

We had to celebrate this heat with my fave.....some shave ice!

Elina is such a sweet tooth! Wouldn't be surprised if she ended up with silver grills like me. Lol!

Here's a pic of my brown hair! So different but I like it :)

Always giving Dad a hard time! I taught them well! Lol

First trip to Seven Peaks! Let's just say Elina doesn't like new things right off the bat. Lol strange thing is she loved swimming pools last summer. I'm hoping this is just a phase she's going through.
