With here daddy being silly

Goofy girl

This picture is just so funny, I caught her with the glasses, mouth wide open!

Yesterday, while at my moms...we had to come up with ways to keep Palo busy. She seems to get bored very easy and has to go go go. So, I had my brothers Britt & Kam pull her around the house on a blanket. She loved it. We were cracking up because Kam would say, "Palo, if you're having fun, smile." And without hesitation she'd get the biggest grin on her face!

And here's the famous 'smile'

Count Down

We are on the countdown for Palo's first birthday! I can't believe it's almost here! Now I just hope I can get this first birthday party into gear...it's turning out to be a bit of preparation, well worth it of course.

Here are a few pictures of what Palo has been up to lately.

She is sure smart, too! She LOVES books, she has started to sign back, and seems to have something new to say everyday.

Lately Palo has been into feeding herself; she always has to hold her own spoon/fork. The other day we decided to let her have some pudding...mmmm, quite obvious it would cause a mess but it was sure funny! She enjoyed every minute!

2010

This is our most recent picture of Palo, and this is EXACTLY how she is! ALWAYS smiling...we will tell her to 'say cheese' and this is what we get!! We just love it!

Palo with Misi at the Christmas Eve Program...

First time on Santa's lap. She actually did SO good, which is surprising because she's not too fond of strangers!

It still is hard to believe we are starting off another year! Where does time go?? I am, however, very excited to start off fresh with new year resolutions, and excited to experience another year of life! This month our baby girl is turning ONE! SO scary if you ask me...scary because I don't want her to grow up! I have a hard time thinking about it, but at the same time I'm preparing myself, knowing I can't stop time :) For now, I try to soak in every moment and enjoy Palo as much as I can.

Palo is a true character. I have to admit, she is a bit sassy and may even have a temper, which must come from my side. From what my parents tell me, I had an attitude. BUT...it can be pretty stinkin' funny!

P.S. we had an awesome Christmas. It was very simple and involved a lot of family. Palo seemed to enjoy the wrapping paper and loved playing with the kids! Also, my mom posted all of the pics of Christmas on her blog!

Oh dear!

Ok, so here I am. I figured it was about time that I updated my blog, since our little one isn't getting any smaller. We have been pretty busy from volleyball nights, flag football, basketball games, and just being with family. Our little Palo is getting SO big, and I have a LOT to update about her!

-she is WALKING! She started walking about a month ago, and lets just say she LOVES it! However, she has now officially started to 'run'. it's not that fast yet, but she's sure enjoying running away from all her uncles!

-She says mama, dadda, 'WOW' (which she picked up from looking at Christmas lights) BA for ball, and BA for book. She talks a lot but it is a lot of gibber.

-Palo is learning how to use a fork

-Mamma's helper around the house: sweeping, laundry, making any kind of mess!

-She can open pens, chap stick, and her favorite to open...my mascara...yes, it's everywhere!

I really could go on about palo!! She is VERY active and loves being around kids and family. Misi and I can't believe how fast she is growing up-there is never a dull moment and she is always doing something to make us smile!!

Love This Girl

Here are some latest pics of Palo. She just cracks us up sometimes! She's 8 months old now, and grows just about everyday!

Pictures!

Here are a few random pictures of the baby...she is growing up so fast, we just can't believe it! Here are a few facts:

-Pulls herself up on the furniture, and walks along it

-Crawls all over

-LOVES little kids

-Likes my moms cat, but scared of the dogs

-HATES any vacuum

-Throws little tantrums when she gets mad...tightens up her body and fists (so funny)

-Has TWO teeth

-Loves to talk...and say dadda

-She likes tooth brushes, medicine vile's, nose suckers, tampons, and a wire whisk..anything unusual I guess.

-She loves tipping over baskets/buckets and pulling everything out!

Palo really is just one busy girl. She does something new everyday, we just can't get enough of her!

She's crawling!

She loves to give kisses!

Food, food, food...she wanted to try eating the pizza on her own...

Already loves a volleyball :)

Oh how I love....

my teething baby! We officially have a tooth on it's way! (and I do believe there is one right next to it, it just hasn't come to the surface yet.) Palo has been a pretty good baby, most of the time. She's a little more fussy and does not want me to leave her sight. I have become quit exhausted these past few weeks! But she still couldn't make us happier! Two days ago, she started talking A LOT more. She now says baba, and dada...and some other jibber. But we do get her to say dada quite a bit! She is pulling/standing up on EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. She will start to crawl and after about a half a foot she will collapse and the just push backwards while on her belly. Not too far away and she will just take off!

Life has been treating us well lately! We have had quite a few ups and downs, but I couldn't be more grateful to have family close by and to be reminded daily to keep on similing!

I have more pics of Palo but can't find my camera..I'll put them up as soon as it is found!

7 months

Typical Palo face

Hair piece to cover the sun

Palo is really already about 7 1/2 months old but wow, how she has grown! She is into EVERYTHING! She is already pulling herself up, feeds herself most foods, is VERY close to crawling...she'll be on all fours and try to move forward but then just collapses. Palo is quite the talker, too. She says yum yum whenever she eats, and its starting to BLA BLA more often. There really isn't a moment when she just sits and relaxes...she's always gotta be doing something! We sure love her though. She goes anywhere and everywhere we go, which means she is dragged around quite a bit but she seems to love it! She still is having a VERY hard time sleeping at night. I've tried just about everything. I guess it's in the genetics. Soon enough I'm sure she'll get it all figured out!

Vese's Wedding

Having a blast at the reception!!

Bridee and Groom

Cheesin for the camera

What a happy day

What a fun weekend we had! We headed up to Salt Lake Friday morning and made it in time for a beautiful wedding in the Salt Lake temple. The bride and groom looked SO happy which made it even more fun! Then on Saturday we went to a reception that was full of dancing, food, and plenty of talking! The food was incredible, as are most polynesian weddings...and it was so good to meet more of Misi's family. The baby did pretty dang good...but was sick of sitting in her car-seat. She threw a couple fits on the way home, so it got kind of frustrating but thank goodness we made it back safely!

ATTENTION ALL K-6 TEACHERS

Are you like most teachers trying to find ideas for Literacy Works Stations (LWS) a.k.a 'centers'? I am so excited to say you no longer need to worry!! I am working for a company called EMPOWER and they have finally finished the K-6 LWS's! They are hot off the press and you do not want to miss out on the opportunity of having these in your classroom. The LWS's have over 200 different stations giving them hands-on interaction and MORE!! Trying to come up with center ideas is OVER, the work is already done! For more information you can visit the main web-site by cicking here or sending me a friendly message!

6 Months

Yes, time does truly fly. Palo had her 6 months check-up yesterday and she is 19lbs 5oz and 27 inches long! She's definitely a big girl...but gosh we can't get enough of her! She gets more personality everyday, and seems to be trying new foods everyday (we feed her pretty much everything we eat!) She still loves to sit and play with her toys, be held, scream, and be around little kids! She is full of energy and always keeps me going. Here is Palo after her appointment...she had shots again so she still wasn't too happy!

FREAKIN HILARIOUS!!!

GOTTA WATCH THIS!! CLICK ON THE LINK....So wish I could dance like that!! :)
