Logan turned 2!

The Birthday Boy

Logan is currently obsessed with Thomas the Train so we did Thomas up.
Yummy Cake!

Leona looks like she wants cake - look out Mom!

All the kids wanted to help. Logan was so overwhelmed, he didn't mind.

Logan and his loot

Phew, that was work. What do I play with first?

Just Chillin

We have a shot of Logan in the chair like this. I will have to try and dig it up. This was a day or two ago...

Music To Your Ears

This is one of Shane's sweeter fake cries. Thought you might like to enjoy it.

Shane Smiled at Me Today 2.15.09

Shane smiled at me today. He has smiled before but it never felt like he was smiling at me. This was taken today. He weighs approximately 9.5 lbs and is filling out and balding in the front. He has old man hair with hair along the edges. I can't tell what color the new hair is yet. His baby acne is so much better after my friend Ang Fuhrman told me about Eucerine in the tub. I apply is several times a day and it seems to do the trick. Poor guy may have got my sensitive skin. TBD!

Oh yeah his eye lashes are coming in now. He doesnt mind a bottle and is still wanting to eat every two hours if I let him. He will sometimes go 3 or 4 hours if I am lucky. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it yet. Just yesterday Logan started asking to hold him. He will say "Shane! Hold him." It is soooooooooooo cute. Logan doesnt speak in full sentences yet but he is getting his point across more and more. He has started yelling at Tim which cracks me up. When Tim isn't doing what he wants him to do he says "Dad! Come here!!" very loudly but it is funny.

You Can Not Say Our Kids Are Spoiled

doesn't every kid have a swing set like this one? Doesn't every Dad work on it on their long Brthday weekend? Tim has alomst got the swing set finished!! Someone told him it would take like a month. He showed them!!! This is a great shot of the garden in the back ground. Radishes are already growing. Ole!

Of course Logan LOVES it!! So far he has a love for the climbing ramp. It was one of the first pieces put together and he went for it. As I watched him climb I envisioned stitches ...There is still a tire swing, a picnic table and a telescope to go on. We also will keep our eye open for a baby swing that we can add on! Brother Shane will have to get in on this some how.

Valentine's Day and a Birthday

Okay don't worry. I will go back in time and blog the last two months. I just have a lot of photos to go through. In the meantime I don't want you all to miss out on what is going on. We are soo exciting and all. Today is Tim's Bday! We celebrated nicely yesterday. We went to a dinner party with some new friends and I surprised Tim with this yummy Valentine's themed cake. Of course, he loved all the hearts and things.



My camera is not in the best of shape. As you can see it is putting some pots on photos. I don't know what that is about. Here is a shot capturing all three (note Logan looking on in the bottom right. Gotta love the expressions.
Now isn't this a cool and interesting gift! Tim gave me these beautiful pink roses for Valentine's day. The interesting and cool part are the photos etched on them! Take a look. Who do you see??

Modern techology at its best. Here is a close up. I sure wonder if I can perserve these somehow. How unique. Beats the usual chocolate bar!

Logan Meets Shane!

Here is one of the last photos of Logan being the only child. Also one of the last photos of me pregnant.



Logan meets Shane for the first time.

It was such a sweet moment, gone in a flash.

Unpacking Bliss

Our totally awesome (yes, I did love the 80's) wine rack will sadly be living in the garage. While it is gorgeous it is a huge safety concern for both the kids and the vino. See what I mean .....

This is our frightening garage. Can you find Logan or Moxie hidden in all the box wrappings??
There's Moxie!

The cutest decorator.

Palmer House #4

Okay I am going to try and get back into the blogging game before MiniP arrives. I know you all just want some photos and to know what we are up to and won't mind all the random posts to come. Here are some shots of the more put together parts of our house. We LOVE our house but are struggling to get it unpacked. Hmmm I wonder why .....

Here is a cute nook in the entry. We have given it an Italian flair. Tim says the Italian wine has preserved quite well in case we and a new baby aren't enticing enough for you to come visit.

Here is the front of our new home in Clovis, NM.

Soon to have new neighbors. The other side of the house is a lot that should break ground any day now.

Here is a look across the street. There is one house in the works and approx. 7 more to come..

I know kitchens are a bit boring but it is one of the rooms that is more put together.

This is a shot from the breakfast nook.

Mom's little helper.

The sod is all in and our one lonely skinny tree.

Tim just put this nice edging around the garden. Looks great! I can taste the fresh organic tomatoes now...


Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, the Palmer's got a new TV.

A partial shot of the living room. We have yet to locate the lights and ornaments for the tree but when there is a will there is a way. I am determined to at least get lights up for Logan to have a festive Christmas.

Is it appropriate to post a picture of the bathroom? I mean it is sooo ugly and all I thought you would like to see it. The wall of mirrors allowed for a nice shot. I have yet to try out the jets. Maybe during my 4th or 5th pregnancy all the things I try not to do will go out the window.

Reading Time

It was our last day to go to Miss Mary's reading time. This was a special day because not only was Raggedy Anne going to show up, kids who can't make Wednesday are to wear their costumes, AND Dad got to go!!!





This was a trial run wearing my costume. I didn't like it but they put it on me any way. Then because it was Saturday and not Wednesday not everyone was dressed up. I would say there were 5 or 6 of us. I felt a bit silly and wasn't sure about walking with this tail. Here Grant tries to make me feel better about it. He told me how cool my costume was.

Grant's Mom also loved my costume and admired my feet with cool claws. Grant and his Mom are from Russia and have been going to reading for several months now. We have learned just how sweet Grant is! We also dig his hair do.

I brought Dad some of my favorite books to read to me while we waited for Miss Mary to start. I am not sure why Mom hasn't bought any of them for me yet. They are cars and trucks with wheels and on the inside they are books. What more can you ask for??

Here Miss Mary notices my cool costume!

I sat like a big boy for a long time but I just couldn't sit anymore. You just can't keep a dragon down.

After I checked out everything on the stage I went and got Dad another car book to read to me. This time it was a fire truck. Don't tell Miss Mary but her book just didn't hold my interest today.

Dad caught me by the tail!!!!


Do you see that? He is grabbing me by the tail so I will sit. DAD!!!

When Raggedy Anne showed up I thought she sure looked neat.

But I did not want to get close for a photo op. If I would have known that was really Miss Amy in there I am sure I would have done it. Truth be told I had no idea who Raggedy Anne is. She is no Clifford.

They gave out Halloween treats and of course I was all over that. While I was busy gobbling treats Mom snuck my dragon hat on.

Cat Balloon

In case you couldn't view the video because of the terrible lighting I wanted to post a picture of the cat balloon. For some reason Logan didn't want a photo taken but Moxie was game!
