Palmer's Place: YAY My Laptop is back!!!

Yay, we are soooo glad to have our laptop up and running again. Sent it in for warranty work and they replaced the whole hard drive. We've been busy this summer, but always keep the camera close. Darrin is working 90 hour weeks in spud harvest right now isn't even half done. Derek just quit working the dreaded night shift at Walmart and is now working as a "Companion" type person helping children with special, developmental needs. Raycie is back to school in Twin Falls. We've sure enjoyed having him all summer and miss him bad. Especially lil Graycie. Her face just lights up when she sees him. Kaylie has been "way" busy too. She has been back to school a month now. Last year she took dance lessons and this year she is taking fiddle lessons and is in a children's choir. Aunt Patti just invited her to join the swim team with Taylor too. She'll love that. She and Taylor are just like fish! And pulling up the rear is our sweet (independent) baby Graycie. She thinks she should do everything her 10 year old siblings do and often tries doing so. She was taking steps before her first birthday which was on September 8th and now she cruises all over the house. She is giving sooo many loves and kisses to everyone. She'll even blow kisses. She loves loves loves exploring Grandpa Horman's yard. There are so many things to eat. Apples and plums are her faves!!

Guess Daddy doesn't get any...hahaha!!

RayceCar!!! aka: ALL BOY!!

TaDa!!! Here's Graycie

See, I IS a big dirl mama

Today Momma bought a "Dora" potty chair to start getting Graycie used to it and guess what...
She tinkled in the toilet the first time on the chair!! YAY for Graycie!! At just barely a year old!
"I's a big tid now"

Ah com'mon, can't a girl get a lil privacy here? And what's all the fuss about anyway??

She also chews on sticks and tinkles on the carpet just like our other new puppy!
UGH!!

When Graycie's second top tooth was ready to poke through her gum she kept sticking her tongue out. Maybe it made her gums feel better or she just liked the feel of her new tooth?

Just days after her birthday we dressed Graycie up in this cute little outfit and had her pictures taken. Well at least tried to get them taken. She had the runniest lil nose (that darned top tooth I suppose) and was ORNERY and GRUMPY to the point where we left for a few hour and came back after her nap. We STILL haven't gotten the pictures back so as soon as we do we'll post 'em
