Maddison Seilala Tukuafu

One thing I love to do is look thru my pictures and reminisce about the event that took place that day or where we were and what we were doing! I stumbled upon Lala's 5th birthday party pictures and it made me smile looking at them….thinking about how much she is surely growing and how grateful I am to have a beautiful little girl like her. I always think about what she will end up doing with her life when she's all grown up and how smart she is and if she'll use that to better her adult life…..the thoughts are endless. And just like any other parent….I hope and pray and wish nothing but the best for my kids!

This past birthday (May 1st. better late than never haha) we were living in Raleigh, North Carolina. This little girl LOVES salads…..so I had made her the Chicken Cafe Rio salad. At her request we did dinner and a movie this year and decorated cupcakes! Here are 5 fun facts about Lala:


1. She is in the 99 percentile in height. (so yesssss she will tower me!)

2. She LOVES to dress up (what girl doesnt) and chooses her own clothes! (if appropriate lol)

3. She's a bit of a clutz….just like me!

4. She's addicted to lip gloss and nail polish.

5. Terrified of dogs.


Lala is……just truly a blessing to us! Teki and I were very young and had NO clue with what we were doing when we had her. We've learned so much with her and also from her! I couldnt say enough about my sweetie girl…..just that I hope she reads these blogs one day and realizes that everything we do in life…is for her and her brothers.



My sweetie girl.


Make a wish baby girl……


Liam and Lala


Hunter reaching for more food!


Dinner and a movie!

no more "Welcome Back" posts for me!!

So....all in all.....I think I've "welcomed back" myself to the blogging world ohhh maybe 20 times already??? It's shocking how time can fly by so fast and you not even realize it, life gets horribly busy then it starts to feel like one thing after another is all there is for you!
Well....it's almost 4am and I finally got my chance to blog!

We're in Utah right now. We came back in October from what felt like the LONGEST summer of my life! I'll just say I'm very glad it's over....

On a better note....living in 3 states in 5 months wasn't so bad. We started our summer fun in Raleigh, North Carolina then our office moved to Columbus, Ohio....from their we ended in Norristown, Pennsylvania....which by the way was hands down theee funnest(not quite sure if that's a word) city of the 3!!!

Lala, Tyson and Hunter are growing incredibly fast....makes me sad to think their not little babies anymore.

Lala is in Kindergarten and is totally convinced that she knows more than myself and her dad. She's broken the news to her dad that she's in "love" with Justin Bieber and "hims is so cute!" it probably didn't help that I bought her a couple of shirts with his face blown up on them! She's as prissy and sassy as they come and yet I still want another baby girl. She's very loving and she's always looking out for her 2 little brothers. She's also quite the fashionista. Typical of a 5 yr old girl like her.

Tyson is such a handsome big boy now. He's a pretty funny guy! He truly does say the darndest things. Last year he was diagnosed with a mild case of OCD....some days it's very challenging with him but I know things will get better. He's so serious sometimes that I forget he's 4yrs old. Very observant and smart for his age. His favorite foods are fish, salads and fruits.....he also feels the need to tell every kid how they should spell his name...then goes on to spell it for them about 3 or 4 times! He's an old soul and definitely different from a lot of kids his age but I love him all the same.

Hunter. I'm not completely sure how I should describe him. It's almost like Lala and Tyson were a breeze.......then came the storm! In the shape of a chubby plump little 1yr old! This guy is just a handful. He's crazy fun to have around. He's so lovable...sometimes! He certainly has a mind of his own and is very loud and extreme! Teki SWEARS he gets that from me! ;-) he's just a joy to have around for us and both of our families! A bit overgrown but that's ok! He LOVES football and food. Such a little man.

Teki and I are as happy as can be!!! We feel pretty blessed to have all that we do and I know we'd have none of it if it were not for Teki's hard work and dedication to his family, church and job! We complete each other. Enough said. =)

Next post I'll have to get some pics up of our lil family adventures to Hershey Park, Philadelphia and New York.

Til then Bleeps! (blogger + peeps!) LOL!
