M.I.A.

I know. I am sorry. Since I am sure that everyone has been jumping out of bed first thing in the morning, turning on their computers and waiting, ever so patiently for the Palmer Family blog to come up and show a new cool post. You have had a lot of disappointment lately. Boutiques? Ya thanks for coming you jerks! Totally kidding. But I am fully aware that this poor little blog has been majorly neglected. I am just putting it out there that I feel guilt about it on a daily basis. Isn't this what picture taking is all about? Documenting my kids little lives. This is why I love blogging and taking pictures. Doing this whole "Photog" thing has really set me back. I am trying to figure out how to prioritize my time so that I have time for everything. If anyone knows the answer, please share! One thing I have thought, is to combine blogs. But then I would feel like every picture I put up of my kids would have to be perfecto. That isn't possible, so I just don't know. What do you think? Not that that would free up SO MUCH time. But I do think it would help. Enough of that.

So what have we been up to?

Cade is now 5. I am not sure I even posted anything about his birthday.  What kind of a mom am I? (guilty feeling). I just checked. I didn't. Sorry buddy! I luv you! Tanner and Cade started at a new preschool together that is right down the street. They love it. Mrs. Suzie is their teacher. She is so great with them. Cade takes good care of his little brother.

 Tanner is a game fanatic. If I let him, the kid would play Xbox, Wii, Nintendo DS, all.day.long! I'm not saying he thinks he is playing. He beats levels and everything.

 
 Weston got baptized in Sept. I just checked, I didn't post anything about that! Holy Cow! I am slacking. It was quite the event! It was a Stake Baptism so there was 5 other kids getting baptized as well. So guess who gave the fabulous talk on Baptism? Thats right. Me. You probably don't know this, but I have a HUGE fear of speaking like that. I have been asked to give talks in Sacrament. I did once when I was very prego with Weston. Lets just say I swore it would never happen again. I know that most people have a hard time with giving talks. Mine is way past that. Last time I had to do sharing time in Jr. Primary, I had a full on panic attack and I hadn't even left my house! My heart was pounding out of my chest, I felt like I couldn't breath, I felt dizzy and light headed. I guess I majorly psych myself out. So when the nice man called and asked if I would give the talk, I decided to be a big girl. If ever a time to do it, Weston's baptism was the perfect opportunity. It went fine.   I am sure everyone there thought I was a nutcase. But it was fun. Am I over my fear? Heck no. Baby steps. Ok..back to Weston. We are so proud of him for choosing to be baptized. He is the one that reminds us every night to say family prayer. Weston is becoming more and more responsible. He is beginning to be nicer to his brothers too. He also is doing chores around the house for me. He is a great kid and we love him!

Cohlee. Where to begin. You think I am crazy? She is the Craziest! As I have said before, she likes to eat toothpaste. She also likes to suck on bars of soap. Healthy? Probably not. She is starting to get quite the attitude too. Im not talking in the cute way. She will throw full on fits if she thinks her brothers are coming after something she has. If the front door opens, she goes running. She now likes to give me even more anxiety by going up and down the stairs all day long by herself. I love this girl. She is loving her daddy more and more. Pretty soon, I am sure she will favor him over me ;) She loves to eat anything (obviously) and everything. No picky eater is she!
