The Inagural Spelling Test
Today was Palmers very first spelling test!!! We practiced all week, and he came home today with an A+!!! I told him that I was happy for him and proud of him, but I was sure to tell him right away that I will always love him and be proud of him.....no matter what his grades are. It is hard to believe that the little baby they placed in my arms just a few short years ago, is now able to spell words! I love you sweet boy!

We're Back!
Well, I'm embarassed to say, that the delay in my blogging, is due to the fact that I did not know how to download pictures from my camera to my computer! Who would want to look at a blog without pictures right? So, I'm happy to report that I believe I have mastered the fine skill of transferring pictures from the camera to the computer (what a genius), thanks to the tutelage of my hubby! Thank you dear!
Almost every day I have thought about what I would blog about, if I only had my pictures on the computer. So, maybe at some point I will go back and do "highlights" from June and July. But, for now, we will just start with today!
Our summer days are fairly predictable around here! We just eat up and enjoy every second of the sun we can get, knowing that we will be plowing through 3 feet of snow in no time at all :(. Palmer spends most days with our sweet little neighbor girls, who we refer to as "the girls", and I adore them. We are blessed to have such wonderful neighbors! They spend the day riding bikes, setting up lemonade stands, playing in the water, running in and out of both houses, and having all kinds of fun! Many evenings we have "movie night" and the kids often times wind down the day by watching a movie at one of our houses. Tonight we realized that we've pretty much watched every G/PG movie ever made, so we headed off to our local, "small town USA" movie theatre to see G-Force!
What I can honestly say about G-Force, is that once will definataly do it for me! All in all, I think everyone had a good time!

Nashville, Here we come!!!
Well, it's 11:30 p.m., and of course I can't fall asleep. I always have a hard time sleeping the night before we travel. You know that feeling of, "oh my goodness, I have to go to sleep, we have to get up in 6 hours"....and it slowly dwindles down to 5, 4, 3 etc. as you lay there watching the clock!
Hopefully, I have remembered everything. I guess as long as I have the epi-pens, oral steroids, benadryl, inhalors, diapers, wipes, and some food for Palmer (that he's not allergic to) then we can always get anything else I have may have forgotten once we get there.
We are headed down to Nashvegas for Mere's (Randy's sister) baby shower. She is due the beginning of July, and expecting a baby boy! Once the shower is over, I plan on hitting all my favorite little stores -- you know...where they sell cute things that we can't get in Michigan :) Hopefully, it will be a restful and relaxing week!
Happy almost June to everyone!

KINDERGARDEN GRADUATION
Well, today my sweet little boy "graduated" from Kindergarden!!! All of the kids came walking in to the song Pomp and Circumstance, in full cap and gown attire, might I add! I somehow managed to choke back the tears, but poor Peej (my mom) shed a few for both of us. The program was so sweet, and it definately made you realize that it won't be long before we are sitting at their high school graduation!
I realize that the next 12 years will fly by, but I plan to fully embrace and enjoy each and every moment!!!! There are a few things I hope Palmer will know for certain 12 years from tonight, when it's the "real deal"....
1. First and most importantly, I hope he knows about his Savior, but above all I hope he KNOWS his Savior (my dad always use to tell us that he thinks it is great to memorize scripture, but he would rather us live scripture than just merely memorize it).
2. I hope he has the courage to make decisions based on 2 questions #1) Where does he want to be in 100 years, and #2) Who would he like to be there with him?
3. I hope he knows that HE HAS BEEN LOVED LIKE CRAZY (and always will be)
Palmer....you have such a sensitive little heart, you love to play, and you play hard, you make the best of every situation, you have a contagious laugh, and like Coach says, your smile can light up a room! We are truly blessed to be your parents, and you truly are a source of joy my sweet little boy! Happy Kindergarden Graduation!
