Hockey Game April 16

Randy and Noah were invited to go watch the Iowa Wild (hockey) with Justin (Randy's good friend and the boys' god parent) and his brother.  Noah had so much fun and both him and Randy said that they would love to go to more hockey games.  Well since that was the last game of the year I think we will be waiting until next year but that just might have to be on our winter agenda is to attend more hockey games!  Just wish I knew more about hockey...all I really know is that you need to get the puck in the goal and if you get mad at someone push them up against the glass and start a fight!  HA!  I know there is so much more than that but I seriously do not get this sport!

Jacob, Justin and Noah

Silly Picture!

Mornings

Let me just say that when Memphis is crabby, watch out!  It literally took me 10 minutes to dress the kid because he wouldn't get out of bed or I should say off the floor as he slept on our floor last night in his sleeping bag.  After kicking and screaming I finally got him dressed, I felt like I needed to shower again as I was sweating and now crabby myself.  Thankfully, Noah was all dressed ready to go for the day (so happy he is self-sufficient)!
The only thing that calmed Memphis down this morning was me getting him some juice and telling him I would buy donuts this morning (gosh he is my kid)!  We stopped and got donuts and he was thrilled (Noah too, as this kind of morning always benefits him).
Thankfully, when I dropped him off at Karen's house he seemed happy, I sure hope he stays that way.

Memphis I hope you are this happy by the time I see you tonight!  Love you buddy!

Monday April 14

Our St. Joseph Statue finally arrived in the mail today!  With that being said we had to find a spot to bury him and say our prayer as a family!  We chose the flower garden next to the house and followed all of the instructions on what we were supposed to do.  Noah thought is was pretty cool to be doing this.  Lets just pray that St. Joseph works his magic, Nan (my grandma) swore by him and so does my mom and aunt.  3 wonderful ladies have such faith in St. Joseph so I think I can too!

Our attempt at a family picture before our prayer (Memphis wanted nothing to do with it)

St. Joseph buried!

Wednesday April 9

This week Noah started baseball practice!  He was actually pretty excited about his first practice and even after practice wanted to play catch longer and just keep trying to work at baseball.  He is excited about this year (so far)!
We look forward to a good Spring and Summer of baseball!!! 

Noah loves his cleats!  He thinks they are awesome...gotta agree they are pretty awesome!  Good luck buddy!

Monday April 7

Today was not Memphis' day.  The poor little guy fell asleep by 10am and then woke up around 11am and got sick all over our bed (gross, glad I wasn't home) and Randy said that it got all over both him and Memphis (again, gross and glad I was at work)!  Randy said they both took a shower and he put Memphis in his bed where he slept until almost 2:30.  Maybe he was overly tired, who knows but when he woke up he was in a happy mood and ready to go! 

The pictures that Randy sent me at work...made my day!

Remembering

In the hub bub of the month of March, I spaced off a pretty important Birthday.  Grandma Palmer's Birthday.  I know she is no longer with us, but she sure is missed by everyone.  Today it dawned on me as I was going through some old pictures and saw one of her and realized that I missed her birthday.  The picture below is of Aunt Billie(this is Grandma's sister), Randy and Grandma Palmer.
So here is my throw back Thursday!!!

What a great picture of the 3 of them!  I know, Randy misses these ladies like crazy especially the one on the right (those that don't know that is Grandma Palmer)!

Monday March 31

Wow, has March flown by or what?  I am ready for Spring and Summer to get here.  More than anything I am ready to feel that warm sun on my skin! 

Tonight we celebrated Peggy and Chris' Birthdays.  Memphis was beyond excited and is just loving parties!  As we were all at the table he looked at me and said, "Party, Mom!"  Then he yelled, "Party and Happy Birthday!" 

Memphis waiting in anticipation this morning for the party!

Chris and Peggy blowing out their candles!  Happy Birthday!
