Why do they hate me so much????

Seriously??  I thought that all kids were horrible at pictures.  That is until I started taking other kids pictures and they come out fabulous.  And no, you can't say it is because I am the photographer.  The other picture that was this blog header forever, I didn't take!!!  So it is official.  My children are awful models when they are all together.




On a side note.  I am going to be revamping my photography website a bit and putting a (gulp) picture of me on it.  I really don't want to, but I hear people like to see the person behind the curtain.  So I had my babysitter take a few shots of me.  I kinda like the one behind the camera.  But I really like my shoes in the other.  I hate posing for the camera.   I guess that's where my kids get it from.  So if I can have my blog peeps help me decide which one to use, I would love ya foreva!!  You can be honest too!  If you hate both, just tell me, I can take it.

Wheel of Fortune...Palmer style



I have had the biggest secret in my head forever (Since Augustish). I had to make myself completely forget about it or I knew I would go crazy not being able to tell my kids. So last night, we played a game. I know it doesn't look like the cutest game set up ever, but hey, at least it got done! We had told the kids that they could open one present each last night. First we had to play a game. We aren't a game playing family, so I am sure they were wondering what the heck was going on. So the boys are down to one letter left. They can see that it says "WE ARE GOING TO _ISNEYLAND. So you would think Weston would totally have it figured out without that last letter. Nope. So we flip over to show the D, and he says, "WE ARE GOING TO DINSEY-LAND. DINSEY_LAND, what is that? I tell him he is reading it wrong. He repeats the same exact thing. I guess that going to Disneyland is the last thing he could have EVER imagined. We do not travel. The adult to child ratio is way to off for that. So finally I tell him that the N is after the S and to sound it out. Once he says it right, I start freaking out screaming, "WOOO_HOOOO we are going to Disneyland for Christmas!!!!"

It took awhile for it to sink in. I am sure they are still questioning whether its going to happen or not. It will be their first time ever!!  We are going with all of Chris's family. Can't wait till Monday!

A real Christmas Miracle!!!




Anyone who knows my children will know that it truly is! Granted I had to swap 3 of my kids heads from another picture to get this picture. Photoshop is the bomb! So now I can finally change my header!!! Yippee! Though I do love my old one!! We will make a new home for it on my sidebar!!
