Roxie's Birthday

2011-12-03T09:33:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago it was my little niece Roxie's Birthday. We had so much fun. My sister had a sweet shoppe party. I had so much fun helping her with decorating it.(that's my gig for sure. lol) Roxie is such a sweet little girlie. We LOVE her so much.

Bella and Roxie are going to be the best little buddies. I love that these girls are only a month apart. I can't wait to watch them grow together. Bella really needed a sister, so I am glad that Roxie will help her out in that department.

Lovin the candy necklace.

Bella LOVES animals. I love the look on her face in these pictures.

haha the only picture of my other kids. lol. I feel like we only take pictures of Bella anymore, but the other kiddos are such little butts when it comes time to pictures. Hopefully we will get a few more good shoots of them next time. lol.

Our trip to Denver

2011-11-28T10:31:00.000-07:00

This Thanksgiving we went out to visit Lincoln's sister Heidi and her friend Jenn. The kids just adore both of them so they were so excited. We all stayed at her house and made huge messes everywhere we went, but I think Heidi survived us. lol.

We took the kids to the aquarium. They had the best time. The last time we went to Heidi's we took the kids there as well but Liam was only 5 months old and I knew he and Bella would love it, and I was right. They thought it was the neatest thing ever. I loved watching their faces.

Wouldn't be thanksgiving weekend with out a little football.

and of course we can't have pictures of London with out him doing a cool trick. lol. He is one animated dude.

We are so grateful to Heidi for letting us come and stay with her. She is an amazing sister in law and I am so grateful to her and everything she does for us. Thanks Heidi and Jenn we love you.

Halloween Palmer Style

2011-11-14T09:26:00.002-07:00

This year was so much fun. We had a lot of parties which I love (linc, not so much). Bella was our cute little pumpkin. I really wanted to make her a princess dress but I decided I would wait until she enjoys playing dress up.

Logan really wanted to be Link from Zelda. After I told him no a million times he finally talked me into making him the costume (I know, I'm a sucker). But he was so happy and LOVED it so much that it was so worth it.

London got a Optimus Prime costume from my mom for his birthday. He is always a hoot to take pictures of, if you can't tell.

Liam was our little cowboy riding his horse. We borrowed this from our friend. He was so funny to watch walk around. He was having the hardest time with that horse. Lots of laughs.

Pink Princess Party!

2011-11-08T11:51:00.000-07:00

Bella's Birthday was october 20th but I decided to have her party on the 22nd so that more people would be able to make it. I had the best time planning her party and I knew I wanted it huge, really for a few different reasons. 1- this was going to be the last first birthday party I was ever going to get to throw and 2nd- this was the first little girl party I ever got to throw. lol. So you will have to excuse all the pink but to be honest, I can't get enough of all the Pink! Linc teases me all the time that we can get her other things that aren't pink but after all the blue I have gotten over the years pink is the way to go.

I had made Bella 2 different outfits for her party and decided to only use one. Just the little outfit she is wearing when she is eating her cake. I did make her, her bow for her polo outfit. My aunt kept teasing me that all her outfit changes were worse then a Kardashian wedding. lol.

I wanted a teired cake so badly but I also didn't want to pay for one. So I decided to give it a go. I did a pink dessert table. Everything had to be PINK. If I would have had more time things would have been decorated even more but I ran out of time right at the end. I also wanted a white backdrop behind all this but again, time was an issue. I am still pleased with the way it turned out.

Right as you walked in the door I had a table set up with Pens and note cards and asked everyone to write Bella a birthday wish or message. I have a little PINK scrapbook I made for her and I am going to put the messages people wrote with their photo booth pictures. I also had little fairy wands for all the kids. Boys loved them too! Although I think the hit with the kids were the Fake diamonds in the pen jar. lol. They loved them.

Bella was so funny eating her smash cake. When she was finished I stood her up and she stepped right in her cake and was not happy at all to have cake all over her foot. I loved her faces. My favorite part.

My dad and of course all the kids. My dad is a kids magnet. No matter where we are or what we are dong kids flock to him. So funny.

Dave, emmy, D.j., Maddison, and abby

Bella and I's first girls night out ever together we went and saw Tangled. (really I watched and she slept, but it was still so special to me) I know we have all seen this movie and in the part where she is about to see the lanterns in the sky the lines go like this:

Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

I started crying pretty good when I heard this, I had been dreaming of Bella my whole life and now she was mine and I've had the thought "now what" and I loved the quote " well, thats the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream". Watching the lantern in the movie float up to the sky and I knew at that moment that is how I wanted to celebrate Bella's birthday. She was my dream and dreams do come true. I still will hold her at night and cry, I can't believe how blessed I am to have her.

At church on sunday I was feeling very frustrated becuase as usual I was out in the hall with Bella running around like crazy and London came out and followed us. Bella had found the drinking fountain and London went over to help her out. As I sat there and watched them I started to cry, it was one of the most beautiful things, I wished I had movie camera at that moment and freeze time. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude towards my children that it is often hard to find the word and feeling to express them.

Happy Birthday Bella! I hope you will always know how much each and everyone one of us love you.

London's 6th Birthday

2011-10-25T23:36:00.000-06:00

London's Birthday was on the 7th of october (such a crazy month) Planning a huge party was going to be tuff so we decided to take him to the Family Fun Center. He had the best time. I tried to make his birthday as special as I could. I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said a Mario cake so I decided to go all out. I had such a good time making his cake and the whole time I was doing it Liam was in the back ground saying "London is going to freak out when he see this" so funny. When London came home from school and saw his cake he came and gave me a huge hug and told me how perfect it was and that I made his birthday the best day he could ever have. lol. So worth the effort.

London is such a fun little boy. He is full of energy. He can be one of the sweetest little things you have ever meet and then in the same breath make you want to freak. lol. He is my little Drama King. He is always making us laugh with all of the funny things that he says. London can make friends with anyone. Everywhere we go he tells me he has made a new best friend and has me meet every single one. I love how he loves people and always wants to be apart of everything going on. London is always writing special little notes to everyone in the family and especially to Logan. Logan and London may fight the most out of all the kids but London loves Logan with all his heart. London will just randomly come up to me and gives me hugs and tell me how much he loves me. Lincoln and London I think out of everyone have a very special bond. Something I can't even describe, I love how much they love each other. Some of London's favorite things are, Playing with his brothers, playing video games, watching a movie, riding his bike, making new friends, and talking lots and lots of talking. lol.

I am so grateful to have London has my son and am looking forward to see what the next year has instore for us. Happy birthday london. Love you to bits and pieces.

My thoughts of my last baby turning 1

2011-10-19T21:53:00.001-06:00

I have really been having a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea that my last baby is turning 1. I knew that it was going to be hard but I had no idea that I would be feeling like this. Linc and I decided Bella would be our last, I mean 4 kids is a lot these days, and trust me, when I have them all running around the house or screaming at something, 4 kids might as well be 20. So I feel good about the fact that we are done, but it still doesn't change the emotions that I am feeling at the thought of never having another baby again. With Bella turning 1, it has really made me realize that I am closing a chapter in my life that I thought would never end, and now that I am here, it is hard to let go of. One of my favorite things in the world is to sit and hold a new baby, and trust me, when I had my babies that is all I did. I tried my very hardest to spend every second, of everyday with my kids and enjoy each and every last moment, the only sad thing is, is that I did this and yet I am already having a hard time remembering all the little looks on their faces and things they would say and how they would say them. It is so funny looking back through all the years of having a newborn at home, and how I can't think of anything hard about it, but all the great and wonderful things. But I know in the moment of it, it was tough. To think that I started this journey of Motherhood 8 1/2 years ago, and yet it feels like yesterday. I am so grateful for each and everyone one of my children, they have all helped me grow in so many different ways. I am looking forward to all the amazing adventures that lie ahead of us. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for trusting me with 4 of the most amazing children any mother could have asked for. I know I prayed and prayed everyday for them. I am also grateful for the husband I have and the fact that we get to share this experience together.

So if you see me and ask about Bella turning 1, don't be surprised when I shed a few tears, It's just a closing of a chapter that brings them. I am looking forward to starting the next one.

The Birthday Girl!

2011-10-19T21:20:00.002-06:00

Today my baby girl is turning 1! I can hardly believe how quickly this year has gone. Bella has been one of the greatest blessing in my life. We have a bond like no other bond I have ever had. She is and will always be my best friend. The moment she came into my life, I felt complete.

Bella is a smart little sucker, she is a quick learner and watches everyone like a hawk. She started walking a month ago and has mastered the skill and now she thinks that she can climb up onto anything, and the truth is she is right. I have to keep my eyes on her at all times. She loves to dance, laugh, and play with her brothers. She always wants to be in the middle of the action. Bella's favorite word is "HI" she will say it about 100 times a day, which I love. One of her other words is "wow". She only says "mama" when she is crying, she knows how to get my attention. Bella's favorite shows right now are "The Wiggles", "Yo Gabba Gabba", and "Spongebob". I love when the music comes on, on these shows cause this girl will just start shacking her booty like there is no tomorrow. She gets so excited when I ask her if she wants to watch one of them. So funny. Bella loves baby dolls, she will cart one around and sit and hug it and trying giving the doll her binki's and bottles. Bella's other favorite toys include, her barbie, anything her brothers have, and the channel changer. lol. I think out of everything, Bella's favorite thing to do is, to pull everything out of every cupboard and drawer of this house. She will go from room to room and just sit and pull everything out. We call her "the destroyer" when she is doing it. lol. She can melt your heart with just her eyes, and has one over the hearts of everyone in this house. The boys adore her, and will do anything for her. She for sure has everyone wrapped around her finger.

We love you so much Bella. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Bella

2011-10-13T09:41:00.004-06:00

I can't believe how quickly the time is going by. Bella is getting so big, so big in fact that she will be turning 1 next week. That's right folks, 1! It seems like just yesterday I had her. She is so much fun and if you can't tell I love taking pictures of her. If I had Lincoln's camera I would be snapping pictures everyday. Fingers are crossed that I get one sooooon!

I have been waiting to post these photos of Bella becuase I new I would be getting a new blog look soon. I am so excited to show everyone my blog. My amazing friend created this blog for me and I can't express to you how much I love it. Not only is she amazing at things like this but she can do anything. If you are ever lucky enough to go to her home it is decorated so cute and most everything she does herself. She is also an amazing photographer and has 2 beautiful little dudes. I appreciate all the time she put into helping me with this. Here is Lindsey's blog, so cute right!

Sunday Afternoon

2011-09-28T16:43:00.001-06:00

This is a bit old but I had to hurry and get it posted. We decided to run over to the park after church and get some pictures of the kids, mostly to get a few pictures of Logan for his baptism. I ended up loving them and they are now all hanging in my family room. Love these crazy kids!

Bella and Roxie

2011-08-24T09:20:00.004-06:00

My sister and I both had baby girls a month apart and I couldn't be happier about that. Since Bella is our last little baby I was worried she wouldn't have a sister but thanks to Roxie I don't think I am going to worry about it anymore. These two are such little buddies already. Every time we are with them Bella and Roxie just get to talking and cruisin all over the floor together. It is one of the cutest things in the world. The only problem is that they live 2 1/2 hours away. We are going to have to work on that for sure. I love hanging out with my sister and her husband we always have a blast. I am so grateful to have her in my life. I am so looking forward to all the fun memories these two beautiful girls will make together.

London's preschool graduation

2011-08-22T14:16:00.003-06:00

London graduated preschool on May 21st. It was the cutest little program. Of course made my cry. He looked like such a little stud and so big. When he was asked what he would like to be when he grew up he said a policeman. lol. One lady after the the program came up to me and said he is way to cute to be a policeman and said he needs to be a lawyer. lol. I have no idea what being a lawyer has to do with being cute, but hey, it was funny.

I am so proud of London. He is the sweetest little stink in the world. I know I have said it before but my sister described London best by saying he is like a little sour patch kids. Sweet and sour all at the same time. lol. He is our little man and I wouldn't trade him for anything. London is going to be starting kindergarten next week and is so excited. Congrats London on all of your accoplishments! Love you so much.

Photo shoot

2011-07-15T22:22:00.004-06:00

Every chance I get I try and get Linc to take pictures. He has been so busy with everything at work and working in our yard this summer. I am so happy with the way these pictures turned out. Bella is changing so much I feel like I need pictures of her all the time. The kids are so funny to take pictures of. They are all such a bunch of little stinks and are always making faces or just not looking. So to even have one or two pictures is a huge thing. Love these little stinks.

Mommy needs some sleep

2011-07-05T22:11:00.004-06:00

One saturday morning I was up with Bella all night (as usual) and so tired, so Linc took all the kids downstairs and had a little mini photo shoot. I think they are all really funny. You can tell I wasn't awake or little miss Belle would be wearing a bow. lol.

Everyday Hero

2011-07-03T23:49:00.003-06:00

Get ready for an over load of blogging. lol. I am going to get caught up one day at a time. I have been so behind on getting this done. Linc and I have been so busy this summer and loving it. We are building chicken coops (yep you heard me right), fences, cleaning up the yard, and me of coarse fixing up the inside of the house and changing things up.

Logan came home so excited from school with an award of winning "everyday hero" at school. I am so proud of Logan and everything he does. He was able to go to Mcdonald's in limo. I have still never been in a Limo. Lucky boy. He really is an everyday hero and deserves a Limo ride and more. Love that little stink so much.

Just a Saturday morning

2011-04-11T11:46:00.004-06:00

Saturday and Sunday are my favorite days ever. I love them. Only for the fact that I get to be with my husband all day! There is nothing better in the world to me then being with all of my family all of the time. This past Saturday my dad and step mom came and stayed the weekend with us and my step mom was really giving Lincoln a hard time about not taking more photos so Linc dusted his camera off =) and started shooting the kids. I love when someone besides me gives him a hard time becuase it gets the job done. lol. Love you honey! Anyway here are a few picture he took. As usual of all his work, I love them!

Oh and on a side note that huge bruise on Liam's head, he tipped a bar stool on his head. Sad I know! It looks worse today and he did it on thursday. Gotta love Logan, he had to have his xbox remote in the picture. What a gomer. lol.

Date Night

2011-03-27T18:02:00.003-06:00

haha Like I said on my last post I'm not the best at this blogging thing. I tried to add these songs so you could see what concert I was talking about so you will have to scroll a bit to read my post. lol

Brendan James - Anything For You (Live)

2011-03-27T18:01:00.000-06:00

Matt White - Love

2011-03-27T17:59:00.000-06:00

Date night

2011-03-27T17:57:00.001-06:00

Friday night Linc and I (and of course Bella) went on a date night, not just any ordinary date night but I got Linc to go to a concert! We went to a Brendan James, Matt White concert. I can't tell you enough how much fun it was. It was in Logan at the Logan art center which is a small old theater, so there were only about 50 people there so you felt really up close and personal.

When we were getting ready to leave Linc was supposed to be home at a good time to make it to Logan in a decent time but he didn't get done until 6 ( i was really to beat him) so we took off to Logan to a concert that was going to start at 7:30 so ya I was pretty ticked. But when we got there it was such a low key thing I had no idea so I was really pleased with the way it worked out. My mom and dad meet us at the theater to pick up the boys to save us some time (thank goodness).

Bella was so much fun to take, I was a little worried at first thinking she was going to be mad or the band would be way to loud for her but she did so amazing. She sang along to songs and was just kicking her cute little feet the whole time until she passed out. To top off the whole evening Matt White broke out with Linc and I's song! ("to make you feel my love" by garth) so it was a great surprise.

I'll post a song from each guy cause most people have no idea who I am talking about when I say where we went. lol.

My baby girl

2011-03-17T16:51:00.003-06:00

I have been such a blog slacker lately. I have just been so busy with all these kids. lol. 4 has surely been a change for me, everything takes me 4x longer to do. Plus my hubby has been a non picture taker which may mean that I need to learn how to upload my own photos. lol. (yes I still have not done that yet).

Here is Bella's latest picture. I can't even express how much I am loving Bella. She has brought so much joy in to my life that no words can even express. I still look at her and want to cry, like every dream I have ever wished for has come true. I am so grateful to be able to raise her. She is such a wonderful baby (well as long as I'm around) but I do have to say she is getting better with other people. She is a happy little girl and makes me the happiest person in the world. I have to say that having the husband that I have and the 3 dudes makes everything perfect. Love my little family.

My little Princess

2010-12-09T12:13:00.004-07:00

My little Princess was blessed this past sunday. It was an amazing blessing and she is an amazing blessing in our families life. I can't even express how much I love this girl, there are no words to describe it. My very talented grandma made her dress. I couldn't have been more happy with the way it turned out. I am going to cherish it forever and I am sure Bella will too. I tried to find Bella a bow but I was not willing to pay $30 for a good one, so I decided to make one. I ran around the house and just found odds and ends of what i already and and came up with what she is wearing. I was worried it was a little big but she grew into it. lol.

I just want to express to my grandma how much I appreciate all the work she put into the dress for me and how much I truly love it. Also thank you to everyone who came and celebrated this day with us. We appreciate you all

.

Bella Lauren Palmer

2010-11-18T11:13:00.003-07:00

I am so happy to announce the birth of my first baby girl. I know she is already a month old and this post is over due but all I do is hold her and I never take the time to do anything else. (infact she is sitting on my lap as I type) She weighed 7lbs 11 oz and was 19.25 in long. She has brought so much joy into my life. I am so grateful for her everyday. Her big brothers love her just as much!

Bella's birth story- I went into the doctor for a regular appt. and the doctor stripped my membranes and told me he hoped I would go into labor that night but to me that was far off becuase I have had my membranes striped with every baby and nothing has ever happened. When I got home within 2 hours I started contracting, nothing to regular but for sure a lot, by 5 pm they turned in to every 8 min, by 8pm they were every 5 min. We decided to go to the hospital at 1 am and sure enough I was in labor. At 4 am they asked to give me the epidural and I decided to wait a bit on it so by 8am I had it and 4 hours later Bella was born. When I was at a 10 they asked how long it takes me to push my babies out and I told them about 2 hours so when I only pushed through 3 contractions and she was born I was in shock. I guess after her big brothers she just slid right out. lol. It was the easiest delievery I have had. She was perfect in everyway, the first thing I did of course was checked to make sure I didn't see a weiner. lol.

I can't wait for all the fun Bella and I are going to have together.

London's Pirate Party

2010-10-04T11:01:00.004-06:00

We went up to my mom's yesterday and she threw London a Pirate party for his Birthday. He went on a treasure hunt, had a pinata, play a few games, had a picnic and ate cake (never go to harmon's for a birthday cake. lol. It was sick and I paid 22 bucks for it. yuck) Anyway, the boys had such a great time. Thanks mom for all you did for London. He loved it!

School dayz

2010-09-07T14:40:00.003-06:00

My boys are getting so big I can hardly stand it. Logan is now in the 2nd grade and is still in the chinese program and doing amazing. He is such a great kid and is enjoying school so much. London just started his 2 year in the preschool and couldn't be happier. lol. His birthday falls a month after the dead line so he is going to be the oldest in class and he loves that idea. All I have heard about all summer is when his school was going to start. He loves it. I have to admit that I love it too. Gives Liam and I time to spend together and when Bella gets here it will give me a chance with her alone as well. Liam is getting so big and becoming a great talker. I love listening to him. The top pic I just had to add becuase he kept going down the twisty slide backwards and half way through the slide would flip around. Linc and I laughed so hard every time he did it. He cracks me up. These boys are my everything.

Bella's room

2010-08-20T22:39:00.004-06:00

I am finally finished with Bella's room. I am so excited with how it has turned out. I tried doing her room as cheaply as I could and I think I pulled it off. To start off the first pick is of the car seat cover I made for her. I'm trying to girl up all my old stuff. lol. The next picture is of the pettiskirt I made for Bella, I had so much fun making it. I also made the flower. The pillows on either side of the skirt I made. I ordered an extra yard of fabric from the company I ordered her bedding from becuase I had a few ideas for it and the pillows were on of the ideas. I went to hobby Lobby and found the perfect poka dot fabric.

I have been making bracletts like crazy. They are so much fun to make. Lincoln keeps teasing me saying that they better be disposable becuase she has so many.

Here is a tutu I have made for her as well, I have made 4 of them already. lol. again they are so much fun to make. The picture frame next to it I had and just sprayed it black and used some of the fabric to put inside just to add a little something to it.

I have been making a ton of binki holders as well. Again they are so much to make. and it's better then spending $20 on each one.

The top few pictures are of her hair bow holder that I am going to hang behind to door. I have made most of those as well. Another good way to saving a ton of money. The picture with the shelf, that hangs above her changing table (linc didn't take a pic of?) The frames were old and I just sprayed them black as well and most of the decor on top.

I took some leftover fabric and recovered a boppy so that it would match her room and the chandelier is from a garage sell, my mom found. the stairs leading up to the bed are old as well I just painted them and mod podged the fabric on it and painted the trim black to match.

This frame I did the same thing I did to the stairs. (they both used to be sage with animals on them). The lamp shade I made to match as well. Boy and I glad I ordered a extra yard. I looked forever to find the perfect lamp and found a few that I thought would work my they were $75 and I was not about to spend that much to I just made one myself. I found an old lamp base in the shed and sprayed it black and then just put the fabric around and bought some trim.

The rocking chair in the room used to be sage green as well so I recovered that in black to match.

I have had so much fun doing this room for her. Gave me something to do to make this time go a little faster. I just can't wait to layer in her bed. =) The boys love her room. Liam keeps going in there and saying "cute" London loves going in there and telling me how much Bella is going to love it. These boys already love her so much. I hope she knows how much we love her already and can't wait to have her join our family. and trust me I am far from done on crafting for her. Making girl things is a blast.

(okay now since I am so not good with a computer I know the writting and pictures are not adding up and I can'[t figure out how to fix it. lol. )

My Boys

2010-07-26T11:01:00.003-06:00

Well we finally went and took some pictures of the boys. Let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt. Liam was the biggest pain of all. he was running all over the place. But i think it went okay and we got a few.

Taylorsville dayzz

2010-06-28T15:44:00.004-06:00

We love living right across the street from Taylorsville dayzz. Every year we just walk across and enjoy the crazy cool fireworks. We always have the best time. This year our friends The Stewart's came with us. All the kids get a long so well, well I guess with the exeption of Cameron and Liam. lol. Cameron likes to playfully hit liam and liam doesn't like it at all. It is quit funny until liam is screaming and driving everyone nuts.

Liam's 2nd Birthday

2010-06-15T12:25:00.003-06:00

It's a little late but I thought I would post about Liam's 2nd Birthday. I can hardly believe my little guy is already 2. He has been my little cuddle buddy. For his birthday I decided I just wanted to keep it simple. So we took him to the zoo. He loved it. He is so in love with animals. Any time we even see a dog he has to go over and hug the dog. It is so freaking cute. I think all the boys had a great time. Afterward we came home and had some of LIam's buzz and woody cakes. He was freaking out about them being buzz and woody. Toy Story is his favorite. I can't wait to take him to toy story this weekend. :)

Liam you have been such a joy in my life. I can't imagine one day with out you. Thank you for everything you are to me and making me smile everyday.

Love you.

I didn't know if I wanted to post this or not but I thought I would feel better writting down my feelings. Yesterday I had an appt. for the baby. I went in as usual and she was measuring perfect and then when the doctor went to hear her heart beat he couldn't find anything. He tried for a good 5 min. Looking all over my belly and nothing. I can't explain the emotions that were flooding my at that point. We rushed over to ultrasound to see what we could see, there on the screen was my beautiful baby girl only her heart was beating so slow. When we listened to it right away I was panicked and then when I saw the doctor's face I knew something was wrong. Her heart was beating between 104-120 bpm. Which is low. I at that point shut down I couldn't think, I didn't want to move, I didn't know what to say. The doctor told me he was really concerned and need me back in the morning and they would look at her again. As I walked out of the office I called Lincoln and just cried and told him what had just happened. We both were in panic mode. I asked him to please find someone to come and meet me at the house for a blessing. I knew that would be the best thing for me. I need to calm down. The thoughts of losing my baby girl were all over me. All I could think about was how long I have waited for her. I keep trying to tell myself to have faith, but in that moment it was hard to find it. Lincoln rushed home to be with me and help me with the boys because the doctor told me to stay down until tomorrow. Soon after Lincoln was home one of his friends from the office showed up to help give the blessing. Lincoln asked if his friend could give the blessing because he was to emotionally involed. The blessing was beautiful and helped with a bit of peace, but I was still feeling scared. Afterward I came upstairs and stayed in bed all day. I am so lucky to have Lincoln here to help me with the boys. The boys were so sweet and keep coming up and checking on me.

The rest of the night all I tried to do was think of other things to keep my mind off of what was going on. I said a prayer and actually felt pretty good after it was over and I took that as a good sign. Heavenly Father knows what is best for me. When I woke up all I wanted to do was get into the doctor and see my baby and to know what was going on. Lincoln came with me this time and we were both so nervous, I couldn't stop shacking. The Doctor walked into the room and said that he was thinking about me and worrying about the baby and said he was hoping that he was just over reacting yesterday. I started crying before the ultrasound even started. The moment she was on the screen you could see her little heart beating and right at that moment you could tell she was okay. Her heart was beating perfectly. She was up to 165 bpm again. Which is normal. I started crying such a wave a relief rushed all over me. I love listening to her heart it sounded so much better then yesterday. The doctor checked her again and again to make sure she looked great and she did. I am going back in 2 weeks to make sure she stays the same.

I think I experienced one of the worst 24 hours of my life. The thought of not knowing what was going on and knowing if something was wrong I couldn't comfort her. I am so truly blessed and grateful to have her in my life and I already love this little girl with all of my heart. Going through what Lincoln and I went through yesterday day really makes you think of everything that is truly important in life and what really matters. I am so blessed with an amazing husband and 3 wonderful little boys and my little girl who I can't wait to meet.

Before I got pregnant with her I was having a hard time getting pregnant and asked lincoln for a blessing. In the blessing I was promised that I would have a little girl. I didn't know when but I knew I would raise a daughter. For our baby's name we are naming her Bella. I was looking up this name and in Hebrew it mean's "god's promise". I thought it was very fitting for her.

I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and to know that I can turn to my heavenly Father. I know that he knows what is best for me and what I can handle and I really am grateful for the experience that I did face recently.

IT'S A............

2010-04-28T10:52:00.003-06:00

I am so overwhelmed with emotions right now. There are no words to express how I feel. Last night I went with my mom, sister and a friend to find out the sex of the baby. I was so nervous. I didn't tell anyone I was going, I wanted it to be a surprise. Lincoln knew but he is out of town. The moment she told me it was a girl I could not stop crying. I could hardly look at the screen. When I did and saw my sweet baby she was moving all over the place and opening and closing her mouth. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Telling my boys we were have a girl was way to much fun as well. They boys are so excited and just keep telling me of all the things they are going to make her. Infact London is drawing her a picture right now. I am so happy that they are so happy about it. I just can't wait to see her. I know Heavenly father has blessed me in so many ways. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life and the knowledge of my eternal family.

Big News

2010-03-08T10:27:00.003-07:00

I am so excited to post that we are expecting our 4th little baby! I can't wait to meet the new little one. I am 2 months pregnant and feeling very yucky. I think this is the nastiest I have ever felt, but I am to excited about the new little one that I really don't care to much. Lincoln and I have been trying for 10 months with no luck and decided it was time to go to the doctor. Come to find out I am not ovulating at all, so I went on a couple different pills trying to get me going and our first try it worked.

When we told the boys Logan of course was thrilled he understands everything and so watching him as been so fun. He wants another little brother. lol. London on the other hand was a hoot. We have always told the dudes that you can't have babies unless you are married. lol. May have been a mistake. So when I told London he says "mom who did you marry" I just looked at him and then totally got what he was thinking so I answered "your dad" he looks at me and says "again" and I say "yep AGAIN" lol. He is a little hoot. so I told him he could call aunt Brookie and tell her our news so he calls her and says " Brookie my mom is getting married" Brooke of course was confused. Then he says " my mom is getting married and having a baby GIRL" lol then brooke got it. London keeps telling everyone that we are having a baby girl, so I have to keep reminding him that we don't know what it is yet that is can be a girl or a boy. But he just keeps telling me no its a girl. So fingers crossed that he is right. Of course if it is another little dude we will be thrilled. I would never trade one of my little dudes. I love them so much.

Baby is due in October!

(oh and this is a picture of Liam and I when he was 2 weeks old.)

disney vacation part 5

2010-02-16T09:20:00.002-07:00

Here are my last few pictures of our trip. As you can see it was pouring rain at disneyland. i could have stayed all day but Linc was not to happy about the rain at all. So we ended up leaving a bit earlier then I would have wanted. The beach was amazing but I love the beach so much. I keep telling linc one day we have to have a beach house. On the way home we decided to stop and see Zion, that in it's self is a huge long story, but at least Linc got some great shots.

Disney Vacation part 4

2010-02-12T09:03:00.003-07:00

I bet you can never guess where we were in these pictures. Sea World was wonderful. I love watching the shows they put on. The boys loved the Shamu show, they were laughing and clapping. It was adorable. I love the pictures of London and my dad, they are so sweet. My kids love that man like crazy. Oh and my absolute favorite temple in the world San Diego. all I can say is ahhhhh. The moment I walked onto the temple grounds I was overwhelmed with emotion.

Disney Vacation part 3

2010-02-10T11:24:00.003-07:00

This day at disneyland was so much fun. We were walking on every ride. Logan went on the roller coaster 4 times and Liam went on Buzz about 7. lol. we had a blast. London really wanted to go on the ferris wheel but it scared him to death (it was rocking all over the place) lol. It was so funny.

Disney Vacation part 2

2010-02-09T09:31:00.002-07:00

This day was at Universal Studios. We had such a great time. I think all of our favorite part was the simpsons ride. It was really fun. I love the picture of my little niece in front of Chuckie, totally cracks me up. The boys love Shrek in 4-d too.

Disney vacation part 1

2010-02-08T10:07:00.002-07:00

all my pictures are out of order but I am to lazy to fix them all up. lol.
We had the best vacation, the boys were such a blast. these pictures are from days 1-4. We drove to California the first 2 days stopping in St. george. Of course my boys can't stay at a hotel with out bed hopping, they love jumping from bed to bed. The first day in california we went to Disneyland (my favorite) and the second day we went to San Diego zoo. I loved all of it. My favorite part of the zoo was seeing the panda's and and cute little baby gorilla. that is why I had to post their pictures. At disneyland it was not crowded at all, we just walked right onto every ride we went on. We went on the buzz lightyear ride 6 times. It was Liam's favorite. When we were standing in line and had to pass buzz liam freaked out. He loves buzz. Logan was such a tropper he loved every single ride no matter how big or how small.

Sunday Drive and my little basketball star

2010-01-26T10:07:00.003-07:00

Since our church has moved back to 9-12 we have the whole afternoon to spend together as a family. One of my favorite sunday activity is to take a drive and of course one of Linc's is to take photo's so it always works out perfectly. This last sunday we went out to the great salt lake. The boys thought it was awesome. Liam was so funny trying to walk in the sand. Loved it.

Before we took off to go on our drive London was sitting at the dinner table eating lunch, as usual he takes forever so we all finish and leave, he was down there for quit a while so we decided to check on him and this is how he was found. lol. asleep under the table. what a cutie.

Logan has been playing Jr. Jazz for the last 2 months. He is so much fun to watch and I am sure going to miss watching him play. We will have to sign him up again for sure. He will be missing the last 2 games since we will be in California. hoot, hoot.

Christmas 2009

2009-12-29T18:23:00.003-07:00

I am not very good at putting these pictures in order so I am sure they are all messed up. Christmas this year was so much fun. All the boys are at such perfect ages. They all got their christmas eve jammies (which they totally loved) that night they all went to bed very early but not of course they had to leave out cookies for santa (which i love) and reindeer food for of course the riendeer. We got up the next morning at 8. We let Liam come down frist becuase we didn't want poor little tiny tim getting trampled on christmas morning but for a broken leg he was sure booken it to get to all his stuff and while running screaming BUZZ. He loves toy story if you can't tell. Logan and London loved what they got as well. It was such a perfect morning.

Tiny Tim

2009-12-18T08:36:00.004-07:00

Here are Liam's pictures of his little leg. He looks so cute running around with his little broken leg. Although now I am totally freaked out anytime he falls off of stuff and anyone with kids knows that happens just about everyday. Yesterday he fell off the boys bed and I about had a heart attack but he was fine. Poor little dude, he is just such a little explorer. He is the first of my babies to ever get into anything and everything.

I love Liam more then any words could ever explain. I am so grateful to be mother.

Having fun with lighting

2009-12-13T21:35:00.003-07:00

Lincoln needed some test subjects for testing linc's lights and as always London and I are the only ones that will sit still long enough for linc to mess around. The picture of London is him to a T. He is such a little stink.

Anyway I have been a terrible blogger lately. Christmas time always gets us busy. Liam broke his leg thursday. Such a sad thing. He has a very festive green cast for the holidays. lol. He was playing on the couch and fell off and fractured his fibula in his left let. The doctor said it was a very unusual break. Liam on the other hand has been handling it really well. The only thing is he wants to take the cast off, he will tug at it and say "guck, guck" which mean stuck. It is so very cute. The break has not slowed him down one tiny little bit. He is still just as wild and crazy as ever. It is the cutest thing in the world seeing him hobbling around with his cast and listening to his tiny little feet and cast hitting the floor. lol. We have been calling him are tiny tim.

I will post some pictures of Tiny Tim shortly. Well as soon as linc is done with them. lol.

Uncle B's 50th Birhtday

2009-11-04T09:31:00.002-07:00

Last Sunday night we went up to My Uncle's 50th birthday party. We had such a great time. It was a dress up party and everyone wore Grim reaper costumes. They had a cotton candy machine and kareoke and activity's for the kids. Happy Birhtday Uncle B. We love you.

Halloween

2009-11-01T09:21:00.004-07:00

We took to boys to Gardener Village to take their halloween pictures. I think the two little boys are easy to reconize but Logan is Edward from Twilight. That was a hard costume to put together I didn't know what to do to make him more like edward. So I made him Edwards braclett out of a twilight key chain and black felt. I think it turned out okay and then I decided to add a cloak for fun, (plus in New Moon the Volturi make him wear a cloak although it is red I figured black would do) He loved his costume and really got into charater. I think he loves Twilight as much as I do, okay maybe not but he sure does love it. I love when we are both into the same thing makes it really fun. I am going to watch New moon first without him though to make sure it is not to scary or violent for him. lol.

Liam is our Third little baby to wear the Simba costume. I love when my boys wear this I can see each one of them in it. They all look just as cute as the last one. Linc said while we were taking picture that Liam may be our last little baby to wear the costume which made me so sad. I wish I could stop and start time when I pleased. Things are going so quickly. I love all three of my boys and am so greatful for each one of them. Happy Halloween boys I hope you had the best time.

piano man

2009-10-15T10:51:00.001-06:00

Liam loves music anytime music comes on he just starts to dance, so of course when I start to play the piano he has to get in on that action. I think he is going to be a very talented little musician one day.

Happy Birthday London

2009-10-07T09:55:00.003-06:00

I just wanted to take a minute and wish my baby boy a happy birthday. He is turning 4 today. I can't even believe he is 4 already. Time truly does fly. London has brought so much to our family, he gives the best hugs you have ever had. London is the funniest little dude I know, he is always making me laugh. He is a trouble maker, lover, friend, wonderful brother, and an amazing son. I am so grateful everyday that heavenly father let me have the oppurtunity to be your mother london. I love you more then you will ever know. Happy birthday Buddy.

Posting just becuase

2009-10-01T21:36:00.001-06:00

Well I decided to post just becuase I haven't in a while. Lincoln has been doing a photo project and was using us as props. lol. Here are just a few of the ones he has taken. He has 4 weddings he is doing the month of November, so he is going to be very busy doing those, but I am so excited for him.

The boys are being boys, just as crazy as ever. Liam is getting so big. We both finally understand eachother so life is getting easier. He is so funny, he loves miley cyrus he can dance to the hoedown showdown and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. The picture with him sitting by the mailbox is so funny. He loves that stupid thing. He goes and plays by that thing all the time, luckily it is right next to our house.

First day of school and my boys

2009-08-26T09:28:00.002-06:00

Well it is official. My baby boy is a first grader. He is loving it. I think he like recess and lunch the best but hey so did I when I was his age.

Fun at granpi's

2009-08-24T12:46:00.003-06:00

Logan stayed the week at Grandpi and Grandmi's house, He had the best time. We went up there to pick him up and took some pictures of the boys with their mustangs. I love it. When the boys get with grandpi it is a party 24/7 the picture of all the boys sleeping in the bed with grandpi is so funny, the room looks like a tornado hit it.

Family Pics

2009-08-18T09:35:00.002-06:00

So sunday night we decided to take Family photos. Only it was the most frustrating experience ever. You think with my husband being a photographer we would have amazing pictures, but not this time. The boys would not sit still if we paid them. they were all being little farts. We took a ton of pics and these are the only ones that turned out, sad day. We are going to have to try this again soon. That is if Linc will be willing again. lol. My favorite on is the one with our feet, we didn't have to get mad at the kids for not looking at the camera. haha.

Alaska Part 2

2009-07-29T10:57:00.002-06:00

We went to Denali National park and took a bus ride for 10 hours through the park. I was really neat, we were able to see grizzlies, moose, caribou, fox, eagles, and a ton more animals. We were also able to see Mt. Mckinley which was amazing. that sucker is huge. While we were on the bus hayley and her boyfriend meet us there and took the bus with us it was so much fun to be able to hang out with her in alaska.

Alaska Day 1

2009-07-28T09:37:00.001-06:00

Well for Lincoln's 30th birthday he really wanted to go to Alaska and celebrate. We took off July 17th to make sure we were there for the 30 on the 18th. That day we went to the North Pole and saw santa. hehe and we went hunting for animals to take picutres of. We went to an all you can eat seafood bar (not my favorite) but Lincoln loved it.

My baby boy and Monday night Hike

2009-06-27T13:55:00.002-06:00

I have been pretty behind on this blogging thing but a lot has gone on. Logan still has his cast on but will be getting it off soon. The other night I was out and linc decided to take a few more shoots of Liam which I love. We decided to start a new thing and go hiking as a family as much as we can this summer. We all love to be outside and I love being with my family.

I just love my family so much and am so grateful to my boys and especially to my husband.

Birthday and Surgery

2009-06-06T17:32:00.002-06:00

Well My beautiful baby boy turned 6 today. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. I guess to start off on Logan's birthday I should start talking about yesterday. Yesterday was one of those days were everything that can go wrong does. I won't go into to much detail of they day but there were a million different things. The icing on the cake yesterday was Logan jumping on the tramp with the nieghbors and he rolled thats right just rolled of the edge and broke his ARM. It was the saddest looking thing I have ever seen. It was just dangling there, so called linc crying and he didn't listen to me and just hung up on me and called 911 as I was loading the kids in the car to take them to the hospital. Linc called me back and told me 911 was on the way so I had to turn the car around and come back home and as I was pulling in the drive way they showed up. So Logan and I drove to Primary childrens in the ambulance and after linc got home he grabbed the other boys and came up to the hospital. I thought for sure they would just throw a cast on him but after the x ray got back there was a lot more damage then we all had thought. His arm was fractured right above the elbow and he had a nerve that was mess up so they had to rush him into surgery. Not a word you want to hear when you are dealing with your children. He was so brave the whole time. After he was out of surgery I stayed the night with him. He was awake in and out during the night, I slept about 3 hours. He is doing really great now, he is a little sore and having a hard time moving. Since the nerve in his arm was crushed my the bone he can't bend his thumb or his fore finger, but other than that he is doing good. He should have that back in 4 to 5 weeks. I do feel so bad for him though today is his birthday so I have tried my hardest to make it a wonderful day for him. This morning at breakfast I told the chef that it was his b day and he sent him up a cupcake with breakfast and a nurse came in and brought him hot wheels and glow in the dark stars and a little teddy bear. Later my mom called the gift shop and sent him up and doggy and ballons. On the way home we asked him what he would like to have for a brithday lunch and of coarse he wanted mc donalds. My dad and stepmom and sister and her hubby came over and brought him presents and a cake.

So that was our day yesterday and today in a total nut shell. There is so much more that went on but I don't want to bore you. lol.

Logan, I love you so much. The day that you were born was the happiest day of my life. You have brought me so much joy, I am so proud to be your mom. Everything you do I am in aww of. You are always impressing me with everything you do. You are a wonderful friend, brother, and son. I look up to you in so many ways. Thank you for being so wonderful. I love you more and more everyday. I hope you still have a wonderful day today and know that I love you and am proud of everything you do.

Happy birthday sweetheart!

The Big Birthday Boy!

2009-06-03T12:12:00.004-06:00

My baby boy is turing 1 today. I can't believe how quickly time has flown by since he was born. Liam has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of how grateful I am to have him as my son. He has brought the sweetest spirit to our home. I think first birthdays for my boys are always a little emotional for me. I reflect on the year before and am reminded of how my life changed the day my children were born and each of those days were the happiest days of my life and they just keep getting better. Liam I love you more then you will ever know. Thank you for being so wonderful. Happy Birthday baby boy. (I had to put this picture of liam up becuase I love how it looks like he is saying he is one. lol.)

Sailing

2009-05-21T09:50:00.002-06:00

Last Sunday we went Sailing with RaNae and her boyfriend Ray. The boys had the best time, I was ready to pull my hair out by the end though, my boys are not scared of anything. Here are a couple of pics linc took, Don't ask me what i was thinking in these shoots, I had no idea he was taking them. lol.

My Birthday

2009-05-11T13:11:00.001-06:00

For my Birthday Lincoln and I ate at the Roof and then headed to the bountiful temple where we were married. We decided to take a couple of shoots.

More of easter

2009-04-17T10:19:00.002-06:00

I just thought that I would add a few more from easter. We had such a great time. Here are just a few pics from my Aunt and Uncles house where we had a easter egg hunt and she bought a bouncer tent thing for the kids. Also stuff the easter bunny brought for the dudes. I love the pic of liam in all the mess of easter. So funny.
The picture of me we took the other day. Lincoln bought some new lights and he wanted to play with them so I was the only one that would sit still long enough for him to play. He has more with me smiling, but this one was his favorite. I am not the biggest fan of taking pictures of myself but I figure I would take one for the team. lol.

The Three studs

2009-04-15T13:30:00.003-06:00

While we were at my mom's house we were taking Owen's pictures and of course my boys wanted in on the action. London was first and he took his shirt right off and popped right up on the table. He made all of his own poses. We laughed so hard. That kid is so funny. Logan and Liam were next giving us their cute little sexy faces. lol. I love these boys.

Easter Weekend.

2009-04-15T09:28:00.003-06:00

Over the weekend we headed to Logan to spend Easter with the family. We had such a great time. We hung out with my mom on saturday and then headed over to my aunt and uncles on sunday to spend some time with my dad. When you have a millions families like we do you got to fit it all in. lol.

My new beautiful nephew

2009-04-14T12:16:00.001-06:00

This past weekend we went to Logan to take some pictures of Baby Owen. I think Linc did a great job. Here is just one.

Three's company

2009-03-12T09:56:00.002-06:00

I have had an idea in my head for a while now and finally got around to asking Linc to do it for me. I wanted pictures of my boys faces and hang then 24 x 24 on canvas in the basement above the couch. The boys were pretty hard to work with as usual, but I love the way they turned out.

Window shoots

2009-03-06T09:30:00.002-07:00

The other day I had to go and do my activity days activites with my girls and linc was home with my boys (minus Liam) and took a couple shoots for the dudes. I always love any pic of the dudes so I just thought I would throw these on here.

Okay now for some pissing and moaning. Last night Lincoln was working late at his office some genious decided to bust his window in on his truck. He did it to a couple of other cars that were in the parking lot next door over at the sizzlers. I am so blasted mad. How can someone be so mean. Although he is a complete idiot. He didn't take anything which is great but he could have taken my husbands wallet, tripod, a lens to the camera, and a few other things. So apparently not a smart man at all, but I am grateful he didn't do anymore damage.

I think we just had one of those nights becuase while linc was gone the power went out at our house with just me and the boys there. They were so scared, so we wondered around the house looking for candles and Logan says "why would heavenly father turn off the power" it was pretty funny. We took as many candles as we could up to my room and started to tell stories it was actually kindof fun. It was off for only like a half hour but still. It turned on and Logan just as happy as could be said"Oh thank you heavenly father". Love those boys.

Playing catch up

2009-03-02T10:16:00.003-07:00

A couple of weeks ago Lincoln's mom was giving an Award up at the capital so we took a couple of shoots of the kids. They wouldn't cooperate very well. lol. A week later we took to dudes to the zoo. Liam slept through almost the whole thing and woke up at the end. We had a great time.

My husband has a new website for his photography if any one would be intrested in a photoshoot. www.lincolnphotographic.com

Three little cowboys

2009-02-28T22:26:00.001-07:00

We had a birthday party a couple of weeks ago and the boys dress as cowboys to ride the horses. I couldn't get London to leave his cowboy stuff on or to take any pictures, but Logan and Liam were sure happy about it. Liam loved the horses.

valentines weekend

2009-02-26T10:02:00.002-07:00

For Valentines this year we went up to my Husbands family cabin with some or our friends. We had the best time playing card games and the boy had a great time playing together. While we were there the boys were all outside playing in the snow and we heard a scream and we all went running out side and it was Logan just a crying. So we asked what happened and an icecycle landed right on top of his head. His head was bleeding all over the place which totally freaked me out. Linc was checking his head to see if he needed stitches and when he pulled his hands down from logan's head they were all bloody and logan saw that and said "Is that marker, is that marker" to which linc had to say "NO" and then Logan really started to freak out. Lucky he is just fine but it was really scary at first. Other then that we had a great time. Liam was such a little tropper when we went on our four wheeler ride. It was so cold when we got back I felt like I just got botox my face was so frozen solid. lol.

May the force be with you

2009-02-02T13:19:00.003-07:00

Logan is so in love with Star wars so linc told Logan he would take his picture like Aniken and Logan was so happy. He loves his new pic.

Peterson Brother Band

2009-01-27T09:54:00.003-07:00

While we were at my dad's we took a few pic's of Liam. Lincoln is still working on some but I thought that I would post this one. LIam is in my dad's drum case. Ever since I can remember my dad has been in a band with his brother's so I thought this would be a cute shot for my dad.

Little Reesie Poo

2009-01-26T15:42:00.002-07:00

This past weekend we headed up to my dad's house so LIncoln could take some pictures of baby Reese. I think they turned out so cute. She is such a little doll. I am so proud of my husband and his many talents. The last one is with a tutu I made her . It is a little big on her but I couldn't resist. I had such a good time helping take photo's of a girl for a change. Thanks for letting me help Brooke.

My beautiful baby

2009-01-18T21:33:00.002-07:00

Today after church I just thought Liam looked to cute and so we had to take so pictures. He is getting so big now. He is now 7 months old. He is getting to be so quick with his army crawl around the room it is so cute. He does get up on his hands and knees and rocks a bit. I keep saying any day now he will be crawling but I do hope he takes his time. He is growing up way to fast. I wish I could stop the clock and keep all my boys just the way they are now. They are all so much fun. They for sure have moments (all three) But they are the most wonderful children. I am so blessed.

Sun Valley

2009-01-16T10:28:00.001-07:00

Last Monday we flew to Sun Valley in this beautiful Jet for dinner. We ate at a place called Pioneer Saloon. It was such a different feel there but had great steaks. yummy.

My mom's apron

2009-01-14T20:04:00.003-07:00

For my mom's birthday she asked me to make her an apron. Sounded pretty simple the only problem was I had no pattern and not sewn in years. So I thought well I can do it. I had no ideas of what I wanted to do and my mom kept saying "have you seen the ones that they have in the mall, I want one like that" Well I hadn't been to the mall forever. So i just decided to go on line and get an idea of one that I like. I found one and just winged it. I didn't have a pattern so I hope it works. The week after I made it I went to the mall and saw just what my mom was talking about and wouldn't you know my apron I had made for her looked just the same as the ones in the mall. I hope she likes it. Happy Birthday mom!

Mac and Cheese

2009-01-09T22:35:00.002-07:00

What my boys love about their mom! Mind you, I recorded them separately so they didn't hear each others' answers. Logan had some other things to say, but extra cheesy mac and cheese was the best London could come up with!

Hair cuts

2009-01-01T22:41:00.004-07:00

A very long over due hair cut was needed at my house today. I was trying to grow out the boys hair but just couldn't take it any more. I love both their hair, they both have crazy thick hair and London with those curls, but what do you do. So today I told the boys we were going to play babrber shop and I set up my bathroom like a beauty parlor. They thought it was really funny becuase I pretended not to be there mom I was Patricka the hair lady. London was so funny he really just talked to me like I was a stranger calling me "Young sir" becuase I was calling him "young sir". They were both so polite to Patricka and never once complained while I cut their hair. Afterward I gave them each a treat and they still treated me like I was Patricka clear until bed time. They had such a good time and I had fun asking them questions about their mom and dad. lol. I love these two dudes so much. They are so much fun. Logan is so so so sweet. We went up to my dad's this past week becuase my sister had her baby and one of the days he wanted to go to work with my dad. Well he is a Laywer and I really didn't think it would be a good idea so Logan cried for a little bit becuase he always wants to be with my dad and then he just sat there and gave my a frowny face like he was mad at me and so I just looked at him with a frowny face and looked sad at him. He just started crying and came running over to me and gave me a huge hug and said"I am so sorry mom I don't like making you sad. I love you mom" It was the sweetest thing in the world. He has such a tender little heart. He is always concernd about my feelings. He is always first to give me a compliment. I am so lucky to have such wonderful men in my life.

These pictures are so funny. we
just had to get the before and after
shoots of the the boys. They don't even look like the same kids. lol. I keep London's top pretty long still becuase I just love playing with his curls. Oh they also had just eaten spagetti. lol.

Introducing Reese Brooklyn to the world

2009-01-01T00:09:00.002-07:00

My sister Brooke finally had her baby girl Jan. 30. She weighed in at a healthy 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19 1/2 in. The is so Beautiful. i am so in love with her. Now I just need to talk Lincoln into helping me make a little girl cousin for her to play with. lol.

Congrats Brooke and Jesse. i love you so much and am so grateful to have you as my sister.

Christmas

2008-12-28T20:51:00.002-07:00

I had the best christmas ever. Every year with my kids it gets better and better. All the boys had a wonderful christmas. I love that top picture of Liam opening his present. He looks so happy. =) Logan everytime he saw santa would tell him that he wants a game called Sonic the hedgehog for the Wii. I would tell him what if santa doesn't give you that and he would tell me oh no mom it's santa so he will bring it. So christmas morning the boys came running down the stairs screaming and were so happy to see what they got. Linc thought it would be a fun trick to hide sonci for Wii in the christmas tree to see how logan would react. Logan looks at all his presents from santa and first thing he says is "oh thats okay santa didn't get me sonic this stuff is just as good" I was so impressed by his comment. He was so grateful just to get anything. Within minutes of course he found his game in the tree and screamed and pretended to faint. it was so cute. I love my little dudes so so much and hope that they had a wonderful christmas. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband that works so hard to make sure that we have a wonderful christmas.

Liam's 6 month photo shoot

2008-12-21T23:55:00.002-07:00

We took Liam's pictures Saturday night for fun well and I really wanted to take his 6 month pictures. Here are just a few that Linc was able to get done. there are still some more that I will have to post later.

I took Liam to the doctor the other day for his 6 month check and I love to get home and start filling out the baby books so I decided to pull out all the boys baby books out to compare how much they all weighed at 6 months and wouldn't you know it all three of the boys weighed 17 pounds and were 27 in long. What are the odd that all three of them were exactly the same. They must all be mine. lol.

I hope everyone has a wonderful christmas. I am so excited for christmas this year. I get more excited then the kids.

Colorado fun

2008-12-08T13:18:00.002-07:00

Wow my blog is still a little messed up but I am trying to work out all the quirks. I just wanted to post a few pictures from our trip to colorado. We had a lot of fun. We went to an aquarium which was way cool. We were able to see the hotel where they filmed "the shinning" and lots of other really fun stuff. we had a great time . Thanks Hiedi for letting us stay with you.

I'm so Thankful

2008-11-26T21:36:00.002-07:00

Well I am still a little slow at figuring out this blogging thing and sorry for the same pictures but my hubby hasn't posted new pics plus we are on a vacation in Colorado so I didn't want to bother him with it. I wanted to post something because I have so much to be thankful for. As you can tell by all the pics I am so so so thankful for my family.
Logan- He is so amazing. He is smart, sweet and just my best little friend. We went to parent teacher conference on Monday (our very first one) and his teacher was telling us what a great kid he is and how nice he is to all the kids and is always willing to help out in class. I started to cry in the middle of her talking because I was so proud of him.
London- He is the comedian in the family. He is so funny and is always making us laugh. He has me on my toes most all the time but I would never trade him for anything. He is our cuddle buddy (as daddy likes to call it).
Liam- He is always smiling and puts me in a good mood. I know he is only 5 months old but he has the sweetest spirit and I know that he will do great things.
My Husband- my husband is so wonderful and patient with me. I am so grateful to know that I have found the love of my life and know that we will be together forever.

I am also thankful to my family. I love all my siblings and know that they each bring somthing so special into my life. My little brother is on a mission and I am so proud of him.

Anyway I just want to say Happy thanksgiving everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.

Just some more pics

2008-11-18T23:10:00.000-07:00

I just thought that I would post of few more pictures that Lincoln took last week. I love them but Linc still hasn't put up my favorites so as soon as I get those I will post my very favorite picture. Again you may have to click on the picture. sorry.

Munson Family pictures

2008-11-17T11:52:00.002-07:00

My mom wanted some family picture done becuase we have not had then done since I was 12. Forever. She also wanted them done in case anything happened to her theb she would have some pictures of her with the family. Didn't like that thought at all. Here is just one of the pictures Lincoln took. Again if the image is retarded just click on it.

2008-11-13T13:27:00.000-07:00

Just click on all my pictures to see the whole thing. It is so retarded. I have it set on small but it still makes them huge. I will have to have my hubby help me figure it out. Sorry everyone.

My Family

2008-11-13T09:56:00.004-07:00

Lincoln was taking some pictures for his cousin so we decieded to sneek a few of our family in. It is so hard when your hubby is the photographer to get a good picture of your own family becuase he is in the pic too, but I do think they turned out okay. The first pic of the boys is of course them being super hero's. Sorry if my pictures are cut off I can't figure out how to fix that quirk.

Just a preview

2008-11-10T16:18:00.003-07:00

Yesterday we went to Wheeler Farm and took some pictures of the boys. Here is just a preview I will have the rest up later. I just had to get these up here before linc was all the way done with the rest of them. I am so grateful to my husband for his amazing talent.

Called to Serve

2008-11-06T09:53:00.003-07:00

My stepmom and Dad. She did a really good job letting Chase go until we left the MTC which I thought was so brave. It was so hard watching Chase walk away. He was the very first one to walk out of the room we really took the advice of pulling that bandaid off the quicker the better for all of us. If any one would like to write him his new address is ELder Chase Kim Peterson

MTC mailbox # 275
CA-SJO 1125
2005 N. 900 E.
Provo, Ut. 84604-1793

Well it is official my baby brother is now Elder Chase Kim Peterson. We went to the MTC yesterday to drop him off which as a different experience for sure. It was a lot harder for me then I thought it would be. All I keep thinking was how much I was going to miss Chase and also the fact that I am going to have to do that Three times in a row. Ahhhh. i will be a mess. I am so proud of Chase and am so grateful for his great example to my boys who look up to him so much.I love Chase so much and will think of him everyday. (Pretty sexy dude huh. Don't worry ladies he will he home in Two years.)lol

Me and my sister Brooke saying goodbye. Doesn't she look so cute prego. especially since it is my Niece I can't wait to have a girl in the family.

My stepmom saying goodbye.

Logan and Uncle Chase.

London and Uncle Chase. My boys knew what was going on the whole time and while we were in the mtc a watching the called to serve vidoe London just keep laying his head on Chases shoulder. They are going to miss Chase so much.

The Family (minus one)

And there he is. He slept through the whole thing. It was so sweet though as chase was leaving to go out the door he couldn't resist to give Liam a kiss on his way out and I broke down in tears. He is such a great Uncle and the boys will miss him so much of course Liam will be at a perfect age when he gets home.

Happy Halloween part 2

2008-10-31T11:57:00.003-06:00

I thought I would add some of the kids we took at Gardener Village last week. I love them. Logan looks so cool. At school that day it was wacky hair day so I sprayed his hair the color green and it looked so cool but I forgot to take a picture of just his hair.

Here is London and as usual you never know what you are going to get with him. lol I do love this picture of him.

And of course my baby Boy. He looks like such a doll in this costume I just want to squeeze him. These pictures I was able to get in front of him and get him to smile. I love my three little dudes.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-30T12:51:00.002-06:00

Last night we decided to take the kids Halloween pictures. It was a lot of fun but a little stressful at the same time doing 6 little kids pictures plus I forgot logan's mask and my girlfriend forgot her little girls tinkerbell wings and you know as a mom you just kick yourself over things like that. I think they turned out pretty cute considering how hard it was. lol
In this picture is all the kids minus Liam he was a little turkey. We love these guy and hope to be friends forever.

Malieah 1

Lydia 3

Carter 5

I thought this one was funny of Liam he looks like he is growling or somthing. He is still so hard to take pictures of because he only will smile for me and I am always the one holding him up so he doesn't fall.(he is still not sitting up) Also I had to put him in this costume because everyone of my boys have whore it and I had to keep tradition. Plus he looks really cute in it.

Again Liam being a little turkey. We couldn't get that candy out of his hands so this is what we got.

Logan the sexy wolverine. He is so funny he didn't really want to smile for us because he said that is not what x-men do. I really like the way it turned out.

London the cheese ball. He had to cheese it up every pictures but I love it. You never know what you are going to get with him. Oh ya he is bumble bee from transformers.

This is Liam's actuall costume this year. I loved it. London calls penguins peet, peets. So I just had to buy it. he really has a hard time moving in it. lol

And of course my Husband had to get in on the candy action. I love this picture of Lincoln. Don't you think he looks super sexy. hehe

my husbands last photo shoot

2008-10-23T12:11:00.002-06:00

My husband came up to Logan on sunday to do a photo shoot with my sisters. I think they turned out so great. The first three are pictures of my sister Destinee who is the youngest.

These pictures are of Noelle and her husband Jason with their little dude Jettson.

This one is of Hayley. There are more of her and I thought that I put them on but you get the idea.

Man Tag

2008-10-19T23:16:00.003-06:00

What is your husbands name? Wayne Lincoln Palmer
How long have you been married? 6 1/2 years
How long did you date? 4 months and engaged for 1. We were fast.
How old is he? 29
Who eats more sweets? That would be ME.
Who said "I love you" first? I did but linc wasn't far behind.
Who is taller? Linc is by a foot.
Who can sing the best? Linc for sure. He has such an amazing voice. He proposed to me by singing to me.
Who is smarter? Again that is Linc but when it comes down to little dumb things I am really good and stuff like that so we make a really good team.
Who pays the bills? Linc. He takes care of all that stuff for us. I am very lucky that way money stresses me out to the max. I feel like a very fifties couple. He takes care of everything outside of the home and I take care of everything inside the home. Oh except the garbage. lol
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Again that would be Lincoln. He sleeps there becuase it is closest to the door and also the bassinet for the baby is on the left and of course I am all over that.
Who mows the lawn? Lincoln. I did a little bit last summer but ran over my cell phone with the lawn mower and it chewed my phone up in a million little pieces. Again linc is better at taking care of things outside the home. lol
Who cooks dinner? That would be Me. Linc is not a cook at all. Although I do have to say that I for sure enjoy going out and saving myself the trouble.
Who drives? Lincoln. I love it when he drives and I can relax a bit. Of course driving with three crazy boys in the car I don't get to relax to often. I feel so safe when linc is behind the wheel.
Who kissed who first? I would have to say me, although he did meet me half way. We kissed on our first date. I know, I know a little sluty but look at him. :)
Who asked who out first? Linc asked me out. I was at a singles ward and he saw me there while he was visiting some friends so he got my number from them and call me up and asked me out on the date. I was a little unsure about going because I had no idea who he was and what he looked like but luckily I went. I knew after the first date that he was something special.
Who wears the pants? I would have to say Lincoln for sure but he lets me have my way a lot of the time as well.

Since I am writing about my man I thought I would add a few things of my own to my husband. Lincoln I love you so much and am so grateful for everyday that we spend together. I am so lucky to have you as my husband and appreciate everything that you do for me and our children. You are so talented in everything that you do. Thank for choosing me to be your wife. I love you.

I tag- Noelle, Brooke, Mckell, and Candice.

Funny present

2008-10-15T20:44:00.002-06:00

My girlfriends little boy wanted to decorate London's birthday present and this is what it looked like. That word on the side of the present that we all think say F%*& actually says From at least that is what Carter says. lol We all laughed out butts off. He is such a cute little kid and has been such a great friend to my kids.

I've been Tagged

2008-10-13T10:53:00.002-06:00

So I have been tagged. It is always fun to go back through your photos all you have to do is go to your photos and pick out the 6th picture in that folder.

To get this picture I went to my husbands smug mug acct (that is were I get all my pictures from) and clicked on the 6th photo in the family folder and this was it. It is a picture of Lincoln and Logan, I love this picture just becuase it is two of my favorite boys in the whole world. Logan is such a sweet boy in every way. He is my helper and just always taking care of me. Lincoln is such a wonderful man. He is so trustworthy and honest in all of his doings with others and I respect that about him so much. He is always willing to help others. I love all my boys so much and am grateful to have 4 of the most beautiful men in my life.

Happy Birthdya London!

2008-10-10T09:56:00.002-06:00

It was London's Birthday last tuesday he is now three can you believe it. We kept his party pretty simple but we had a great time. His grandpi and grandmi sent him a ton of ballons andd stuffed animals(they live in Idaho) and he got this fire fighter outfit from his uncle preston who is 4. (I know not many kids have uncles and aunts the same age as them my kids do). Our great friend Candice came with her three kids as well. She lives in eagle Mtn so it is a good little jont to get here so we totally appreciate her coming. She is a wonderful friend.

London I love you so much and know that you were put in our family for a reason you bring such a sweet spirit, though you can be a little devil you are the sweetest kid at the same time. Happy birthday baby!

My beautiful baby boy

2008-10-01T21:33:00.002-06:00

Liam is getting so big everyday. This friday my baby will be 4 months old which to me is so hard to believe. I love him so much and am grateful everyday to have him as my son. My three boys are my everything. Liam has brought such a sweet spirit into our home and always is bringing a smile to my face. He is a little turkey when it comes to bed time he is stillo up a lot during the night I will take it just to see him smile at me.

Hayley the model

2008-09-29T22:29:00.003-06:00

Lincoln is always looking for new people to photograph and Hayley was ready and willing. She was so funny and very professional. I was laughing so hard becuase she was just acting like a little model and I couldn't stop laughing even while she was taking the pics and I was laughing she still modeled it right up. She did a great job and I will never be able to take pics like her. way to Hay.

Some Classics

2008-09-19T18:18:00.002-06:00

I was just looking at a few of our photos and thought that I would put a few funny ones on here. This picture is of London sticking his face in dad's muffler of his truck and this was the result. (he was so confused why we were laughing so hard)

This picture is London again going down the slide at hogle zoo. He didn't want to go and being the great mom I am I just sent him down. lol He now loves slides but that time he was scared to death. I love the look on his face.

I just had to throw a pic of Liam in the mix. He is getting so big especially this week alone. He is my little cuddle monkey.

This picture is of Logan and his girlfriend Zanny. They meet in preschool and have been great friend (to them boyfriend and girlfriend) ever since. She lives in Ogden now so we don't see her as much but she still calls to make sure logan doesn't have any new girlfriends in kindergarten. She tells him she loves him and wants to marry him all the time. It is really cute.

This is London picking his nose for the first time. We had to photograph the moment. lol

Sunday Night Photo Shoot

2008-09-11T11:07:00.003-06:00

Logan 5, London 2 and 11 months, Liam 3 months.
Sorry for so many pictures but I had to post all the cute ones. London was being a little stinker as usual when I want pics of him, but it was still a really fun day.
