August 11

Today I stopped in at school to work on a few things and I had the boys with me. 
Memphis saw the sculpture of the Johnston Dragon and he had to have his picture taken!

Fish Days-Lansing, Iowa

Over the weekend we headed to Mom's to celebrate Fish Days in Lansing (this is where Mom's shop is).  It is the town's little festival they have.  There was lots for the kids to do.  Petting zoo, bouncy houses, a little play area for the kids.  Noah even got a henna tattoo! 

 On Friday we thought we would take the kids bowling.  They had a lot of fun.  I decided that I might be the worst bowler known to date.

And the fun continues!  We grilled out Saturday night on my deck outside her shop.  Great view of the river.  Good food too!

Saturday night there was a lighted boat parade!  IT WAS AWESOME!  After the parade there were fireworks.  The kids loved every bit of Saturday night.  Gotta love being on the River!

Monday August 3

Today we decided to go to Adventureland with Peggy and Craig.  This is Memphis' first time going.  We wanted to try out roller coasters before we head to Disney this Christmas!  Noah goes to Adventureland often and loves it.  And thankfully, Memphis loved it too! 

We had a great day and spent most of the day at the park riding rides and enjoying ourselves.  Memphis has no fear.  I didn't get many pictures of us that day.  And Noah was such a good trooper he would even go on the little kid rides with Memphis.  However, Memphis loved the big kid rides too because he was just tall enough to go on them!

August 2

Today we celebrated all of the July Birthdays that we hadn't celebrated yet on the Palmer side (Tony, Sara and Britney).

Vacation Bible School

Wednesday-Sunday Memphis attended Vacation Bible School at our church!  He did such an amazing job of interacting with the other kids and not crying and being scared like he was last year.  Last year he wanted nothing to do with vacation bible school but this year he couldn't wait to go!!  Now lets hope this carries right into preschool!

Here are some pictures of him playing on their final day and then some pictures of him singing and dancing during church on Sunday.

Celebrating the end of VBS!

Oh geez at this point I was afraid he was going to take off his clothes.  Thankfully he didn't!!! 

Dancing away!

Picking our nose!

He was so excited to be up there!

More dancing!

July 26-Party

Today we finally celebrated Memphis' Birthday with our families.  We went to Dewey Park again as Memphis just loved that place last year and the kid could spend all day at a park if you would let him.  So why not have his birthday there?!

Tori and I practicing a little softball!  I think we both still have skills! Heck I am slapping from the left and she is pitching left...TALENT!

I had more pictures of Memphis opening gifts but decided that deleting the pictures was the way to go!  UGH!  Oh well.  He enjoyed his party, everyone who was able to make it and all of his gifts. 

July 26-Anniversary

Randy and I have been married for 7 years!  Geez time flies when you are having fun!  I love this man to the moon and back and am so grateful that he asked me to marry him.  We are truly blessed.

Here is the 7 years and to the rest of our lives! 

Love you more
