PALMER'S VACATION IN CALIFORNIA!

Greg's sisters Holly, Heidi, and Angee (and the hubbies) brought the crew to California! It was a fun packed busy week! (Greg and I "vacationed" too:) We started off in Arnold. Greg found a nice BIG cabin for all 23 of us!! It had a huge game room for the kids. We went to BIG TREES Park, and Yosemite. Both were amazing. Then they came to Oakdale to check out where we live.. We had to take them to Johns Incredible Pizza to see what all the fuss is about :) The next day, we headed to Santa Cruz for the beach boardwalk!! It was so much fun. Finally, we visited the aquarium in Monterey. The boys love it and wanted to show their cousins. We had so much fun with the family!! We love you guys. Can't wait for our next adventure!! MISS YOU!!

GUESS ITS GOOD I DIDNT LIVE IN THE 60'S HUH?

You Belong in 1963

You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.

What Year Do You Belong In?

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city soul with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

FYI

If anyone is interested, I found a great deal for a photographer. Rennard Photography is offering a sitting with tons of props, the cd, and 24 free wallets for $79.00! This is only for children under one. I guess she is trying to expand her website and wants "models". The only dates though are Aug. 5-6th. Kinda stinks. Anyway, if you are interested her name is Julianna- 209-496-5901. Her site seems good? I guess I will find out on the 6th!! :)

GRETTA LOVES BUMBO

Now that she is rolling around everywhere, I love this seat to keep her contained! She LOVES to sit and watch her brothers and thinks she is part of the action. Also, it is so nice to shower and get ready and she just sits there with me!!! Too bad we didn't have this with our other kids. LOVE IT!!

OUR UTAH TRIP

The kids and I went to Utah for a couple of weeks. We did a lot of fun things. We went to a couple different water parks, my parents cabin, did the slippery slide, and of course had to visit the snow shack! ( We miss our snow cone stands!) We really just enjoyed visiting the family. The boys sure miss their cousins. Greg came up for the 4th of July (by train- which he really enjoyed. We may do that for Christmas!) He drove home with us Sunday. It was hard to leave, but we had Greg's family coming to visit the following week. It was crazy busy, but a ton of fun. I will post pics soon of that vacation. We have three vacations this summer. WOW!!! We miss you already EVERYONE!!
