Spring Break

This year for Spring Break we went down to Arizona to visit family and friends.

Brent had to be in Las Vegas for work so the kids and I drove down and met him Thursday night.  The hotel we stayed in had huge rooms. 

Friday while he was working we went to the Las Vegas Temple and took pictures.

Just to warn you though it is picture overload.  When you have several hours to spare what better way then to take pictures of a beautiful building, cute kids and gorgeous flowers.

 Kenzie really enjoyed posing for me.

 She can be so crazy and silly.  But sure is cute.

 This is how most of her pictures ended up.  She was loving running around.

 This is probably my favorite picture of the day.

How can she be so grown up and beautiful?

These are just a few of the gorgeous flowers that were there.  It was absolutely wonderful to walk around and see all of the beauty the Lord has put on this earth.

Catch up time!!

I have decided that I will do a few catch up posts since I haven't posted in several months (time is going way too fast).

On St. Patrick's Day the Palmer's got together for the monthly Family Home Evening at the Church History museum in Salt Lake. 

I took alot of pictures but will just do a few for now.  The kids all had a lot of fun running from one activity to another.

 Cameron and Kenzie fishing off of Nephi's ship

 Kenzie gave up on the fishing pole and just went and got her own fish.

 Cameron and his cousins playing games from the Friend magazine on the computer.

 All of the kids loved the computers.

Kayley had fun with trying the Mexican dancing.   

Kenzie then wanter to join in.

 Hannah really enjoyed seeing herself in the mirror.  I loved watching her give herself kisses.

Cory did a great job at the dancing as well.

These are items that were donated by some of Brent's relatives from the home up in Bloomington, Idaho (Bear Lake).

I told you so....

Yesterday morning I was walking up the stairs to see if Hannah was awake when I heard Cameron start crying really hard.  I just figured he and Cory were rough housing again, but when I didn't hear anything from Cory I knew they weren't.  He had been dared by his younger brother to roll off the bunk bed (thankfully just the lower one) onto blankets on the floor.  Well since boys can't turn down a dare he did it and in the process hit his face on the board.  I just wanted to say I told you so at that moment but bit my tongue.  I had asked them not to play and just get ready for school (just like I ask every morning), but instead of listening they decided to do what they wanted.

This was taken about 30 minutes later right before we left for school.  I wish I could've gotten a better picture, but any closer and it went white.

Bonus picture:

Hannah can be very picky about what she wears.  Kenzie helped her pick out an outfit but when I wouldn't put the shorts on she started throwing a fit.  So this was the solution that she was happy with and only lasted a matter of minutes.



1st picture of our new addition

I went to the doctor today and it was confirmed there is only one baby.  We have had a lot of people try to tell us we were having twins, but thankfully there is only one.  Brent thinks the picture looks like a peanut.

(Not sure why it turned sideways.  When I looked at it on the computer it was normal.)

Thanksgiving Program

Cory's class had a Thanksgiving program today.  It was really cute. 

They did a great job. 

 Waiting for all the parents to arrive so they could start the program.

 Cory's class sitting on the Stallion Stairs.

 Our "Turkey"

 These two pictures were taken during some two of the songs.

 Each child memorized a part of the book "Twas the Night before Thanksgiving."

Cory was first.  He did such a great job.

Cory saying his line.

Sorry it is sideways.  I didn't think about that when I was recording.  We don't have a video camera, just our regular camera.  So once I start recording I can't adjust.

These are just two of the many songs that they sang.

Preschool

Kenzie and her cousin, Abbie, had preschool today at our house.  It was alot of fun.  We worked on the letters I and L.

So we did Leaf pictures, Indian corn, and potato stamps with the letter I and L. 

 Kenzie was so messy, and LOVING it.  Abbie wasn't to sure about the mess so I helped her so she stayed clean.

 Their projects.  I took this before I finished the corn for them.  They were done, and wanted to play.

 Love that smile!

She is growing up so fast.
