First Tball Practice and Outside fun

We had our first Tball practice this week, it's always cold for that first practice but by the time games start it's hot. Gotta love Spring!

This is E on a weekend morning Starbucks run!

Run savvy run! She had fun at her first practice. She hit really well!

We were the two Jenny coaches. It was a hilarious year while Jenny and I navigated a group of nutty 5 and 6 year olds. WHOA. We laughed our butts of. She's a teacher so she's way more equipped to deal with this herd. I had to keep myself from telling some of the other parents what I thought of their "wussy" parenting styles. I'm ready for better rule regulated play! The Cracker Jacks had a lot of fun getting ready for the season though!


The Bridges boy

Daddy is riding with the kids, how silly!

Playing on the playground, finally warm enough for a tshirt!


Goose sleeps in the weirdest ways

Crazy hat day at school, she wanted to wear her Chargers hat! Representin!

Another gorgeous sunset at the Palmer house

Until Next Week!

Cowboy Day at Savvy's School!

Howdy! Savvys school has the most fun activities. We had cowboy day in March.  We had to make a horse at home to bring for races and they had a day of activities. It happened to be a freezing that day as you can see. We were able to play a bunch of games and brush a horse. We also got to dance to some fun songs...ha! I was lucky enough to steal away from work for a bit to spend some time with my girl at this fun day. Such fun! 









Cuteness! Still catching up!

I'm determined to get this blog caught up. I mean I used to find an hour or so on the weekends to throw in a post, catch everyone up to speed. So many people have asked..."when will you update your blog?" and even Kevin who looks monthly mentioned it to me. So I am determined that between this week and a long holiday weekend I WILL GET CAUGHT UP. Whew! Between blogging for work, work in general (whoa...traveling), and the kids who have busy social calendars...this poor family blog has been neglected. BUT no longer. I'm back, strong, writing...until like Monday when things get nutty again. Hang in there friends and fam! I'll update you before the kids go to college. 

SO where to start. In February I planned a fun evening out for my handsome hubs and our friends on the town in ATL. We originally had plans at some small quaint restaurants in ATL and then our group grew and grew so we ended up at Chop's but it was actually perfect for our big party of 14. We had a ball with our great friends who one (now 3 months later) couple the Browns are actually preggers WOOT! We played all over town. Here is a pic of me and the stud muffin hubs at the end of the night...impressive right? The rest are pics of random acts from our lives for a couple months.


I have a mild tulip obsession...Savvy photo bombed my pic of them! This may be the only time where a photo bomb made it even prettier!


Class project to decorate a shamrock. I like to be original, but the idea of using silk flowers was way cooler in my head. 


No words, My Gooser Mooser


Aunt Michelle came to read a book to Savvys class. She keeps it real rocking her golf glove...rock on sista!


My Cell Case...Kinda in love.



This sweet boy with his baby Panda from Meme and Baba



She painted this. For reals in her art class. Super impressed. 


Lots of sibling and dog cuteness...whew I take a lot of pics on my phone!


Until next week!

Father Daughter Dance and more!


Calhoun Primary has an annual Father Daughter Dance. This is the first year Savannah was old enough to attend and she was SO excited. The theme was Sock Hop. She looked precious in her poodle skirt. Kevin sent me some cute videos of her dancing with her buds. Kevin said he was out there "cutting a rug with her" too...totally melts my heart! They came home with a smiles ear to ear...what great night!



Savvy and one of her best friends Naomi!

We made Valentines Cookies and decorating them!

Lady doesn't usually let the babies cuddle. So this was a rare occasion and so sweet. 


We took an awesome trip with the Stengels to Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain. It was so FUN! They had a little kid area, two big slides, and a snow fun area. The kids had fun!






This is Goosey in the shower...can you tell he loves it?


We were invited to breakfast with Moms and Grandmas. We had a fun time. The kids made us treats and we had a nice breakfast with our kiddos. I love how our school focuses on interacting with the families!


We had a book fair and I ran over to Savvys school at lunch to help her pic out some fun books for her and E. She was excited because she found a Doc McStuffins book and  Lego City book for her. We got two great counting books for E!



My baby Super Heroes!



Until next week! Love the Palmers

Getting Caught Up

Here's another quick update on the Palmer kiddos.

Easton has been begging to use the potty and he's doing a really good job! Its funny Savannah never really cared, but he's very into being a big boy. He'll kill me when he's older but this pic is precious. 

Over the Holidays I set a goal to finish the kids year blog book. It finally came in the mail. I was so excited. Only 380 pages...whoa!


We love playing Just Dance!



One of her favorite Christmas presents...Spidey costume

 Kevin took Goose to Cedar Hill lake to play with the dogs there and swim in the lake. Kevin said he wasn't the greatest swimmer at first but he figured it out after a bit.He looks pretty sporty here!

We had a CRAZY 4 days straight of nonstop rain. Like nonstop...when this happens we get lake front property! Check out lake Palmer!

Oh man the first traumatic injury...I cried, freaked out, Kevin had to talk me out of rushing him to the ER. I checked on him 100 times that night. He slipped getting out of the shower leaning to have us pick him up and BAM he whacked his head on the metal edge of the shower on the bottom. My stomach hurts just looking at this again. He was such a big boy though. He barely fussed. For awhile he had a dent in his head and I was so MAD that I didn't take him to the ER. But its ok now...Kevin said I'm dramatic. My sweet boy, I can't deal with seeing him hurt. Aghhh BOYS!



Oh Goose...he's such a love with the kids. The best I've ever seen. He enjoys them cuddling with him or playing. Savannah loves to take Goose out and play fetch. He follows her everywhere. What a match!

This is sibling love at its best. They never miss an opportunity for a kiss

This is a boy who's teething. Both my kids have flushed cheeks when those toothers are coming in!


She drew me this and said to take it to work. Do you think she's saying I'm having a bad hair day or that I am going to ride in a Helicopter?


Adam played in the BCS championship for Alabama in January. Jimmy and Darlene and Tom and Michelle went to Miami for the game. This is a great pic of them in their Roll Tide gear. We wore ours at home too! Go Adam #99!


I went to have lunch with my girl one day at her school. Such a fun time. She was so excited to have me there. All the kids wanted to eat with us. 


Love, The Palmers!
