Palmer's Place

Ah Miss Graycie thinks she's funny!!! We know she's hilarious!!

Graycie 18 Months

We have a vent in the kitchen that allows the warm air from our pellet stove to rise into the kitchen. Graycie LOVES playing with it. She'll throw things down there all the time. The big kids like it because when we have a party here, they like to pour water through the whole to the unsuspecting victim below. Whenever I'm down stairs folding clothes, she'll peek down and smile at me. She loves being able to look through there to see what's going on below.

Kaylie has a turtle named Turtley. The cage is pretty big and she's been really into rearranging her bedroom and wasn't finding just the right place for her turtle cage. Rayce just moved into an apartment in Idaho Falls and had to give away his two dogs. Kaylie felt bad for him so she decided to give Turtley to Rayce so he wouldn't have to go without a pet! Ah and Dad captured in pictures. The first pic is her surprising him, then he gives her a hug. Finally, he calls his mom to tell her the exciting news!

Every spring we get a huge pool of water in our driveway. We have named it Lake Palmer or the Palmer Pond! (No fish though). So we have our pump and Brady sucks the water out several times a week. Graycie LOVES being outside so whenever Brady is working outside she goes out to play. Well, Graycie spots the inflatable tube in the garage and drags it out by the pond. I know we have a HUGE challenge ahead of us this summer keeping her away from the canals. I'm not afraid to put up a chick wire fence and looking like HUGE rednecks to keep lil Graycie safe.

Michelle told me that people don't take camera's into restaurants and guess what...I proved her wrong. Here's Graycie and Brady at Red Robin and the main reason I posted this picture is to show off Graycie's hair. I stink at doing hair so when it turns out cute I've gotta post it.

Wanna guess where most of her food ends up?? Let's just say, WE TIP WELL!!

We do ANYTHING to entertain her so she behaves while we're out to eat. Including letting her play with tooth picks!!!

Finally found something other than french fries that Graycie would eat.

So who do you think Graycie looks like?? I guess I could have married someone with brown hair and brown eyes so it wouldn't have been so obvious!! But we love love love our DADDY!

Ugh, and we're at the stage where Kaylie doesn't want to order off the kids meal anymore. But I have to admit that when I was her age I was way over shopping at the "Kitty Shop" (its real name) but my mom kept making me go in there to try on clothes! I had to explain to Kaylie that the prices were $5 different between the kids meal and the adult meal. She still wasn't happy. So finally we came to a deal. She got to order a kids smoothy if she ordered off the kids meal. Not very smart on my part because we ended up spending the same amount of money as if she would have just ordered off the regular menu. Bottom line? Kaylie left there very happy and very satisfied.

Graycie's best attempt at a forced smile. We're at Eric's and Patti's house during Melissa's baby shower.

Our little Graycie is a bit uneasy with a house full of people. Many of which she didn't know.

Another cute hair shot.

My sweet nieces, Rebecca and Melissa. This is about a month before Melissa is due. The ultra sound says we're gonna have a new baby girl in the family. Melissa won't tell anyone the names she's picked out so we should all right down our guesses and put them in a jar to open when we find out. See if any of us are close.
