Last fall the Derrico family grew from four children to nine when quintuplets arrived. 

Evonne and Deon Derrico originally believed they were having identical twins, then learned they were having quints.

The Las Vegas couple already had four children, including a set of one-year-old twin boys when Evonne became pregnant again.

Multiples run high in both Deon and Evonne’s families, and the quintuplets were conceived naturally without the use of fertility drugs.

All five babies were born healthy in October.

The Derricos also have an eight-year-old daughter, three-year-old son, and two-year-old twin boys.

In one day the quints go through an average of 40 bottles and 100 diapers, and the older siblings love to help out with the quints.
