Chicken Pot Pie

2010-02-20T18:51:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I decided to make homemade Chicken Pot Pie on Thursday night. I pretty much made up the recipe and if I do say so myself, it was AWESOME!!! Super super easy too! The secret is to use biscuits as the crust on top. It made is so crispy on the top but inside it was so moist. Anyways, you'll have to try it!

Valentines 2010

2010-02-20T18:43:00.000-08:00

Every year we celebrate Valentines Day the week after, otherwise the restaurants are insanely busy. So this year we went to a Brazilian Restaurant and it was a blast. We love going to those places, its just something different then the usual "date nights". Either way, I wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband very very much. I love that he is my best friend and I love that he always has my back. I love that he is always honest with me. I love his funny dance moves, I love his awesome cooking. I am just in LOVE with this man like you wouldn't believe!

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS.... Christmas 2009

2010-01-25T12:01:00.000-08:00

This years Christmas was a good one. For one, we still have my dad here, which is an awesome blessing. We have family and friends, and we have our health. And not to mention we both still have jobs. We felt very lucky this year. Who knows what 2010 will have in stored for us.....

PARTY ANIMALS

2010-01-25T11:57:00.000-08:00

I guess I should post some pictures from the birthday party. It was lots of fun, and it was such a beautiful day. Thanks to everyone that came. We love you!

ONE YEAR OLDER AND WISER TOO....

2010-01-25T11:51:00.000-08:00

I actually have a 2 year old. Crazy! We went to the Zoo for her birthday and she loved it. She actually walked most of the way, which surprised me. I love that she is 2, we have so much fun together. I love her so much and I'm so happy she is mine.

New Adventures...

2009-06-20T10:17:00.001-07:00

She climbed a 8ft. ladder by herself. No joke!

Everyone keeps telling me she will have a broken bone before she is 2. Well, I just have to pray she is safe and let her be a monkey. But I sure do love my little monkey!

PHOTO SHOOT #2....

2009-06-12T14:14:00.000-07:00

I cut Zoe's hair again about 2 weeks ago. She sat there the whole time while I cut it! (probably because Dora was on) Anyways, I love it so I had to do a "photo shoot". She is such a poser.

Photo shoot.....

Easter

2009-04-28T13:36:00.001-07:00

Easter was good, once we got the time outs

out of the way we could actually enjoy the rest of the day. The morning started off a little ruff but it was all worth it when Zoe found the Easter eggs. She loved it so much she would take the eggs out of the bucket and re hide them. It was awesome.

Cant forget what the Easter bunny got Wes.... His own back scratch tool and a little sports bag (as a joke).

Everyday brings different joys

2009-04-28T13:23:00.001-07:00

I love being a mom. I will admit sometimes I want to pull my hair out and cry but every other time I have a smile on my face and light up when I see Zoe. She is so funny, cute, witty, cunning, crazy and the list goes on.... I know she needs a play mate but I'm not sure if I'm ready for such a commitment. I do know that she is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and Wes. We love you Zoe!!!

Monkey???

2009-04-09T10:39:00.000-07:00

So yesterday Wes was watching Zoe and had noticed she had left the family room for a min. so he went looking for her..... This is what he found! She went into the garage and climb on top on the bike by herself! I don't know how the bike didn't tip over because its attached to a trailer. Either way we were both scared and laughing at the same time. If she survives without any stitches till she is 2 we will be surprised!

My love bug!

2009-03-04T10:22:00.001-08:00

On Monday I decided I would replant some new veggies in my little garden. I ended up planting some lettuce, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, onions and cilantro. I am so proud of my little garden, this time I actually placed them in "rows" so they look a lot nicer. I did all of that during nap time... so after nap time I took Zoe outside to enjoy the rest of the day. Here are some pictures that i just love of her.... and my garden!

I love my man!

2009-02-25T21:22:00.001-08:00

Man I just realized that there are no pictures of me and Wes on here! I'm a bad wife. But that doesn't mean I don't love you! Our lives have been so crazy lately with work, so it very rare that me and Wes actually get to spend time together. I love him so much! He is an awesome dad and a great husband! I love you babe!!

(This picture was taken when we first started dating.)

(This was when we went to Cancun with some friends about 3 years ago.)

(This was from our family reuion this past November)

(And so was this!)

Apparently Zoe loves Yogurt

2009-02-24T19:18:00.000-08:00

Heather watches Zoe when I'm at work, and she captured this moment for me so I wouldn't miss out! Apparently she was obsessed with the yogurt Emma had.

Thanks Heather so much for everything you do! Zoe loves you like a second mom.

Zoe's New love

2009-01-26T14:50:00.000-08:00

Heather got Zoe a stroller and a backpack for her babies, and so far she is obsessed with the backpack. She has worn it all morning long. (we just got it last night) Since it wont stay up like a normal backpack she wears it on her elbows. I love it. Thanks Heather!!

2009-01-26T14:42:00.000-08:00

Another one of Zoe's favorite places to play!

2009-01-18T19:59:00.000-08:00

One of Zoe's favorite things to do is to get into Mommy's stuff, and I caught her in the act!

2009-01-18T19:29:00.000-08:00

Lately Zoe has wanted to feed herself, so I let her....

Even when she is so dirty I still could eat her face! I just love that girl.

2009-01-14T08:00:00.000-08:00

I forgot to update you on our christmas... We made christmas trees out of upside down icecream cones and frosting.

I had to take a picture of the girls waiting to see what santa brought...O and who can forget Zoe mafia outfit.

Anyways, here are some pictures for our trip to washington. We had a blast!

I love this picture! Zoe and Sophie watchin some Gabba.

2009-01-14T07:59:00.000-08:00

The surgery went well for my dad on Sunday! Thank you all for all your positive thoughts and wishes for our family! We love you daddy!!!

2009-01-10T07:53:00.000-08:00

DAD WE LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH AND PRAY EVERYTHING WILL BE OK! YOU ARE OUR ROCK! PLEASE DONT LEAVE!!

2008-12-18T12:53:00.000-08:00

Zoe turned ONE on Dec. 16th! We had so much fun with all our family over. Here are some pictures from her first birthday cake

2008-12-18T12:50:00.000-08:00

and more...

2008-12-18T12:47:00.001-08:00

So as i promised, here are some pictures from our trip to Utah.

2008-12-01T14:11:00.000-08:00

We just got home from Utah and we had a blast! I would post pictures but Nicole took the camera out and left it in Heber....

Anyways, while we were there Zoe managed to fall down the stairs about half way, which pretty much gave me a heart attack! And then she also managed to fall right on the corner of the coffee table and has a nasty black and blue mark on the bridge of her nose. So as you can tell she made the trip a little more interesting i guess you could say.

I just want to say I love my family so much!

2008-11-14T20:55:00.001-08:00

I almost forgot it was Zoe's first Halloween and we dressed her up as a devil...And as you can see she totally fit the part. But who can forget her partner in crime...EMMA.

2008-11-14T20:46:00.000-08:00

She is totally posing for that picture!

2008-11-13T10:00:00.001-08:00

Zoe didn't sleep the whole drive up until the last 30 min.... but how can you get mad at that face?

2008-11-13T09:53:00.000-08:00

So we just got back from our family reunion in California and it was a blast.... here are some photos!

2008-09-28T16:56:00.000-07:00

Our little Zoe is getting so big!! She has 4 teeth now and is standing alot ....which means walking is just around the corner! I hope she will walk before Halloween so she can wear her cute costume, it will make it look even cutter!

2008-09-17T21:21:00.000-07:00

So its been awhile since i have updated this thing, so here i go....

Over labor day weekend we had a Palmer family reunion which was a lot of fun! I think this year I felt like I was really part of the family. Wes took Zoe for a rid on the quad and she seemed to really love it. She LOVES her daddy. It was fun to see them together.

The following weekend Wes went to Denvor for the CEDIA show so me and Zoe were solo for the weekend. That same weekend I was throwing a shower for my friend Cassie. I stressed all week about it hoping that it would come together perfectly, and then i got a phone call at 5 a.m.!! It was Cassie saying she was in labor! She ended up having the baby that afternoon. She named him Amari he was 5lbs 8oz. and 5 weeks early! He is super cute and we cant wait for him to get bigger. That was an awesome day, Cassie let me be a part of the birth. You just can't explain the feeling that is there when a new life is brought into the world. That is the 3rd birth i have been apart of and the feeling is still overwhelming.

Zoe is 9 months old and is so big! She is getting her top two teeth which makes me sad because she is getting big. Every day I realize more and more how much I love being a mom and how lucky I am to have a very loving husband that works so hard for out little family. I'm a lucky lady!

2008-08-09T10:11:00.000-07:00

One of the days we were in Utah, we decided to go to Jungle Jims.... here is a picture of Heather and Emma

2008-08-06T10:34:00.000-07:00

Me and Heather just got back from Utah. It was a blast! We loaded up all 3 kids and drove 14 hours to get there.....and to our surprise the kids did awesome! We did watch Yo Gabba Gabba the whole trip, and to top it off it was the same episode the entire time. We know it word for word now.

It was so cute to see Heather's youngets Emma and Zoe play. They are about 4 months apart. They looked like little twins crawling around together. Anyways, here are some pictures from the trip......... O what good memorise!

We found a "Picnic" area on the way up and we had to take a picture of Annie and her sunglasses

2008-07-18T21:06:00.000-07:00

Today we finally went to the lake! We took some friends out and had a blast! Wes has been promising me forever and he finally took us. My hubby is the best! Wes is really good at wakeboarding and if your wondering.... Yes i did a belly flop on the wakeboard, but it was still fun.

2008-07-09T19:33:00.000-07:00

My baby is getting so big!!! Zoe is now crawling....but thats not all, she has a tooth now!!! YAY

2008-07-05T20:21:00.000-07:00

Tonight Wes and I actually went out to dinner and a movie. It was so nice just the two of us.... kinda like the old days. For the first time ever, we got a babysitter that was not related to us at all..... like an actual babysitter!!! That is good news my friends, that means more date nights for us!!! YAY!

2008-06-30T21:56:00.001-07:00
