Wednesday December 14

Today Max and Jax were a bit silly.
They took a dry erase marker and marked all over our pictures!  Take a look at what they did!



Tuesday December 13

This morning we found Max and Jax holding a piece of paper telling Noah and Memphis to please call Grandma as she had something fun to tell them!  Memphis had to call right away.  It is a good thing Grandma was up early.  Noah and Memphis found out that we were all going to go to Jolly Holiday Lights!  YAY!

The boys had a good time looking at all of the lights and it was excellent this year and Santa was amazing and there was not a long line at all!!!!



Max and Jax

Max and Jax are still around the house for a few more days!  Here is the fun that has been going on!

Friday December 9

They must know that Memphis loves Hot Chocolate!  

Saturday December 10
The kids got the book "A Bad Kitty Christmas"
Sunday December 11
It took the boys a while to find them this morning as they were hanging out in the fridge!  Silly Elves!


Monday December 12

It didn't take Noah and Memphis long to find them this morning!  They brought new toothbrushes!  The light stays on until they need to quit brushing!!!


Elves...

Sunday morning Memphis woke up at Grandma and Grandpa's house because Randy and I were out at a Christmas Party on Saturday night!
I love what Max and Jax did this time!

We haven't put money in yet!  But we will before the season is over!

Monday morning we woke up and found Max and Jax hanging out in the stockings!  They had brought Memphis some cute elf pjs!  Love it!  (Thanks to Becky for finding this!)


Tuesday morning the boys found those elves on the couch!  They got to decorate the sun catchers that night when they got home. I wish I would have taken pictures of them painting.  I think the elves should have also gotten one for dad to paint!


Wednesday morning, Noah and Memphis run downstairs to see what Max and Jax are up too and all I hear Memphis say, "Those silly elves!"



Thursday morning December 8, Memphis did not have to travel far to find Max and Jax as they were hanging out in his room!  The elves were reading a book to all of their friends in Memphis' room!


Saturday December 3

This morning Memphis woke up to Max and Jax ready for him to bake some sugar cookies!


Here is the aftermath of the cookie baking and decorating!




Once we decorated all of those christmas trees we decided to take a little break!  Later that afternoon we went to the Johnston Library as Santa was arriving!!!  We meet my friend Jessica an her son Tyson.  The boys had so much fun and Memphis couldn't believe that Santa was really coming in on a fire truck!  Love the his excitement about Christmas!!!

 

More Max and Jax

The elves have been all over the house the last couple of days.  Memphis wakes up nice and early now so that we all should go and find Max and Jax.  However, 3:19 am is WAY too early!  I love this kid's excitement but goodness gracious, a little bit of sleep would be wonderful!!!!

November 29

We found the elves having a race in the play room!




November 30

Look what Max and Jax brought today!

Noah tried his pants on and said they were comfy!!!

Memphis loves these PJs!  

December 1

Today the elves were hanging out in Memphis' room.  They brought Memphis another set of gloves as this kid likes to misplace most of his gloves.



December 2

Well again Memphis was up bright and early, this time around 2ish (but honestly he had to go to the bathroom) however, he always has to let us know that he is up and he found the elves playing around the stairs!!  He was so excited that he had a hard time going back to sleep.



Max and Jax Arrived

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday our elves, Max and Jax arrived.  Memphis was beside himself with excitement.  He now wakes up each morning ready to go and find them.  HA!  Love the spirit!

So below are some of the things the elves have done thus far...enjoy!

November 24: Their arrival
They had written on the door stating they were back and ready for lots of fun this Christmas!


Friday November 25
Memphis stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house so thankfully Max and Jax traveled there...they left quite the mess!



Saturday November 26
They must have heard Memphis say that he needed more ornaments!  Thankfully Max and Jax brought the boys each their own Christmas ornament to hang on the tree.

Jay brought Memphis Batman

Max brought Noah Darth Vader
Sunday November 27

Monday November 28
Game Night!!!


Sunday November 20

I am so thankful that Chris, Sara, Zach and Bailey are apart of our lives.  I am pretty blessed that we have such an awesome family.  Zach and Bailey are so fun and we enjoy watching them grow up!  Holy smokes little Bailey is getting so big and Memphis so enjoys playing with her.  And of course Noah and Zach are pretty cool cousins!

Now I can't forget about Tony and Britney!  We are thankful that Tony is such a good uncle to the boys and that Britney loves our kids just as much!

November 17

My little brother!  I am so thankful that my brother and I get along so well.  Yes, we do have our moments, but that is just sibling love!!!  Seriously, not sure what I would do without him and his family.  Tori is like a sister to me.  I love Jaycee and Rigs to pieces and so happy that they are such great cousins to Noah and Memphis!  
Memphis counts down the days until he gets to see Riggins.  I think Memphis would move in with Rigs if given the opportunity!  ha!!!


November 11

Today I am beyond thankful for Randy's parents Craig and Peggy.  Without these two, it would be pretty hard to raise our boys.  We are very lucky that they live a few blocks away and it is a short walk or bike ride to their house.  These two are always quick to help us out by watching the boys so that we can go have dinner or so I can work (you know my other jobs, not teaching job!) or whatever it might be.  Thank you for always being there for us!  We love you both...

I seriously need to be taking more pictures!!!!  




November 9

Today I am grateful that the Presidential Election is over.  It will be an interesting four years with Donald Trump as President.  Lets hope for the best.

But more than me being thankful that the election is over, I am beyond thankful for my mom and dad.  These two have always been there for me.  We may not always see eye to eye (such as the election, but that is okay as we respectfully could disagree, which is exactly how they raised me).
Mom and Dad are amazing grandparents and I am so blessed that the boys love seeing them.  I wish we saw everyone more often but it is what it is!

Thank you mom and dad for being you.

I need more pictures of dad and the boys!



November 7

I was going to wait until later in the week to post being thankful for my co-workers but I am doing it today because on Saturday I met up with some of my work friends and we went to the Escape Chambers!  Oh my goodness it was so much fun.  We had a great time, I wish we would have escaped in time but I guess we picked the hardest room (the puzzle room) and only 20% of people get out.  I believe if we would have had another 10 minutes we might have gotten out!!!  Shucks next time!

I am honestly blessed to work with some great people that I get to call friends.  We had a great night out we enjoyed dinner and just catching up with each other.


November 3

I am so thankful for these two boys!  Noah and Memphis have both grown up so much in the last couple of years.  I love watching them get closer as brothers (even though they love to pick on each other, a lot) they still have a lot of love for each other too.
I am so thankful for these two Palmer boys!




November 1

November is finally here.  I love this time of year.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my favorite holidays.  I love being with my family and this time of year it seems I get to see them often!!!  
Leading up to Thanksgiving I like to post what I am thankful for.  I am hoping to do this at least a couple of times a week if not each day (don't hold your breath on me posting each day)!  

However, today I am beyond thankful for Randy.  He is my rock, my soulmate, my best friend.  I am happy I am on this journey of life with him.  While we might not always agree on every issues we do agree that we will do what is best for our family.  Randy is an amazing dad to our boys.  They are so lucky to have a dad that loves them unconditionally!

I love you more...
