Too funny!

Tim posted this on FB... I thought it was too funny!

Everyone says Tyler looks just like me. I think now I see the resemblance.

Can rain really be a cause for cancelling school?

I guess when it looks like this it is.... I stole these pictures from a friend on FB. These are pictures of Bishop Hunters Christmas Tree farm. The rivers and streams here are so full, they are overflowing which is causing alot of roads to close because they are flooding the streets. It took the kids an exta 20 min to get home from school yesterday.

Not supposed to do that... This is their driveway!!! Their drive way also acts as a dam. The right side of the drive way is a pond but it is over flowing and going across the driveway and down the otherside.


Along the side of the road...


The Hunters have a neat little pond with paddle boats and ducks/geese and there is, I mean WAS a little Island. It's totally under water now. The white pole on the left side the picture WAS the edge of the pond.


Here is what the pond looked like before...

I'm 30!!!

My Birthday was on Thursday. I can't believe I am 30! It's not as devastating as I thought it would be. I always thought 30 was so old! But, I don't really feel old. :o) I think having a tiny little baby helps me feel younger... Maybe? Or maybe it is the great friends I am surrounded with that made turning 30 OK. Whatever it is, it was a great Birthday!

7AM (still in my pj's) Tim and the Kids gave me my birthday present. It was wrapped in Katrina's shirt....




(Forgot my camera) Some girls in the ward planned a lunch and we all got together and hung out and ate lunch and they asked me a list of questions. Some questions I didn't mind answering and some were embarrassing. We had a good time though. I got pretty flowers!



That evening a couple girls and I went to Cheesecake Factory for dessert. (Deb White, Monika Peterson, Jessica Sherman and Me!)


Godiva chocolate brownie with ice cream. It was sooo sweet! It made me sick and I only ate half!


Friday night Monika offered to watch our kids so Tim and I could go on a date for my birthday. Tim let me pick where I wanted to go. Normally I would pick Stoney River, Macaroni Grill, Outback, Longhorn, Chilies or Ichiban but I didn't feel like any of those. I wanted to go back to Cheesecake factory for their awesome Grilled Chicken Toastada Salad. YUMMY!!! (Of course we took Katie. I can't leave her with a baby sitter yet.)

Baby Blessing

Our sweet Katie girl was given a name and a blessing on Sunday the 13th by Tim. The circle consisted of 9 other people, all friends and one family member. Tim's cousin Aaron Shoemaker who also lives here in Georgia and drove an hour to be there. It was really neat, we feel so blessed to have such good friends who are our family away from family. Tim said it was funny to see the shock from his cousin Aaron when he said Katie's full name because we always call her Katie, Aaron didn't know her full name. We named her after her great grandma Palmer(Tim and Aaron's grandma), Kathleen Ray Palmer, fist, middle and last name. Even the correct spelling, that's a must if you are going to name your child after her great grandma :o). It was such a sweet blessing. I had tears. He blessed her to be like her great grandma, loving, forgiving and to see good in everybody. I am especially grateful for the forgiving part because I know I am going to need allot of forgiveness from her (and the other kids) as I am far from a perfect parent and make allot of mistakes. There was more but I can't remember it all. It was such a special day.

Yes, Katie is giving us smiles now. She is growing so fast!


Her dress...

A whole lot of us...Family pictures...

I'm so exhausted from all this picture taking....

Peace out....
