Painting Pretty's

Palo got nail-polish from her aunty Kel for Christmas this year.

 Every time she would see Mykelle she would her nails aka 'pretty's' painted-so she got Palo her very own. She LOVES having her nails painted, and now it's turned into her wanted to paint our nails! 

Misi is always a good sport, he lets her paint his, too.

Despite having an almost two year old painting our nails, 

she does a really good job! 

She rarely will get it on our skin

which  is quite impressive :) 

 So proud!

This is usually what we do as soon as we're done painting! 

*Christmas*

Christmas came a flew by for us! We were very grateful that we had another blessed year, and best part of we were with family.

We started a little late this year at the Webster house. Everyone slept in, which was really nice for us!

It was a fun Christmas for the kids...and the adults, too:)

Palo had fun opening presents but was mostly glued to baby Jaks.

 Everyone so happy Christmas morning.

Palo loving on her cousin.

After spending the morning with the Webster's, and after visiting all the grandma's

we headed to Misi's parents house and this is what Palo got.

She was thrilled! She was so giddy the whole time and LOVED riding her new horse!

Christmas Eve

We had another fun Christmas Eve.
Started the night off with the annual Christmas Eve program.
It was Palo's first year as an angel, she didn't like it much, but I was glad she stayed on stage.
After the program Santa came,
tears were shed when she sat on his lap
but she was happy to get her present!
We got to spend time with both families
and enjoyed being with everyone.

Waiting for the program to start!

Palo as an angel (addie's behind her doing such a good job!)

Poor Santa

Happy family

 She was SO excited to get her horse! 

Happy!

Our little monkey is growing up! We can't believe that next month she'll be TWO years old.

This is definitely a bitter-sweet moment. Lately she has been talking SO much. 

We are always shocked when she says something

we have never heard before. 

Lately when she gets upset (or mostly just all the time now) she well tell us to 'Stop it!' On Sunday she kept telling me to 'stop it' and I had warned her she would be taken to her 

room if she kept choosing to tell me that. And she did.

So I quietly took her to her room, as I always do, and proceeded to tell her that she

could come out with she chose to stop telling mommy to stop it. (Note: whenever I send her to her room I usually tell her she can come out when she's ready to be happy. Please know I don't have to put her in her room very often.)

So a couple minutes later Palo comes out of her room to find me. She taps my leg and says

"Mom!"

"Yes, Palo."`

"I'm Happy!"

Melted me. I just love this girl.

A few other things, she can count to ten, and with our help say all her Abc's. She can do 1, 2, 3 on her own, stumbles through 4, 5, but has 6, 7. 8. 9. 10 down pretty well!

Palo sure makes her mommy and daddy proud!

                 

THANKSGIVING

We had a wonderful thanksgiving this year. We were able to celebrate at my parents house with my dads sister and only a few of her kids were there this time.Misi's parents and brother's were also able to join us! We were just so grateful to be around family. Nobody brought a camera this year to Thanksgiving, so sadly we don't have any pictures!

 (November 11)

Here's our little cutie pie all ready to go to grandma's house. She was so excited to have her Dora backpack and couldn't wait to show everyone! I can't believe how fast she's growing up! The pictures just make me smile!

Palo up-date

Palo is such a funny girl! We are always laughing at her.

Right now she loves school buses. When ever she see's/hears one

she will yell BUS!!

She loves her 'auntie' and 'uncles' she asks me numerous times

throughout the day where they are.

She is obsessed with talking on the phone. As soon as I get on, she will immediately come over

and tell me she wants to talk.

She loves her 'Nanna's' and 'Pappa's'.

She's in love with her cousin Bubba, and wants to hold and play with him all the time.

Still loves my mom's 'Kitty Cat'.

Loves to read books. Loves watching Barney and Baby Einstein.

She loves 'amimals' and always wants to play with them.

Lately she's been singing...sometimes it doesn't sound like anything, but it sure is cute!

When something happens to her, she drops something, something falls down, etc. She will always say 'Oh, man!'

She is always talking! It's definitely a highlight of this age.

Palo loves to copycat! She likes to do what everyone else is doing.

When she gets in trouble, or knows it's time to go to bed, she will ask us if she can have 'one more minute?'

Here's Palo and her favorite cousin 'Bubba!'

Palo likes to be like daddy and had him put his belt on her while she played.

 Palo got into Mommy's make-up and knew just what to do. She just happened to pick the brightest pallet to work with, too!

 She was so proud of her work!

Our Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween this year.

 Misi was gone on a football trip, so Palo and I celebrated together.

 We started off by taking the two babies, 

Palo and her favorite cousin Jak's to see grandpa and grandma Frei.

 They both looked so cute, we just couldn't get enough!

 Palo HAS to have an apple evertime we go to the fruitstand!

 Cutest Lion EVER!

 We loved watching her little tail wobble

Inside Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandpa Frei was telling us about his buck, which is mounted on the wall...he said it's ranked in the top 10!

 Right after visiting the Frei's we headed to the Samoan Branch for their trunk-or-treat.
Palo had such a good time.

 Walking around. At first Palo wasn't sure what was going on,
but after she saw they were only giving her candy
she got used to it.

 Crazy Boy's!

Eating MORE candy! She loved that mom let her have whatever candy she wanted. Only once a year, right!?
Thankfully she never finished a whole piece. She would open it up, try it out for a minute then move onto the next piece.

Daddy Time

Palo absolutely LOVE'S her daddy. She will cry when he has to leave and go to work.

So, when dad get's home from work/practice she is the happiest girl around.

They get to play play play...

and even have little photo shoots together!

Smile Moments

While Palo was watching a movie, she was also entertaining her-self with the basketball.

She's loves playing with any type of ball.

This just made me smile :)
