He will be born end of Feb to beginning of March of 2012.

. New n well needed updates.

2011-07-11T15:13:00.000-07:00

Well we have been so buys that I have not really had the time to really update our blog. So the newest updates are, WE ARE PREGNANT!!! Yep, number 4 is on its way here. My approximate due date is March 3rd, 2012. My luck I will have this baby early too. LOL! Kent is doing great, he is loving his job and has been coming home safe and sound. I have all of you to thank for that, I know I pray for him and I love that man so much that if anything (heaven forbid), happens to him I would not be able to find another caring man like him. I guess I have to get used to being a wife of a cop. UGH! Anyways, the girls are doing great too. Ashton starts school August 11th, unfortunately we will not be here. We will be in Az. Kimberlyn is doing great. She has become quite the helper. Reagan is finally getting teeth, she has two on the bottom and two coming in on the top. My kids keep me busy. LOL. I am doing great so far. I have not gotten sick so all is well. Hope everyone else is doing just as great!

. Newest updates.

2011-05-23T10:47:00.001-07:00

So I have been a slacker on my blog. Facebook has taken me over. LOL! So we have moved again. We are still in New Mexico, it's just that we found a better house for a better price in a better neighborhood. We are loving it. There is however a possibility that we will be buying a house with in the next year, so that means moving again. Kent is doing great, he has been working tons of hours, and learn a ton of stuff. He has about 3 weeks left for FTO and then he is on his own. I am so scared for that day. UGH! Sigh~! I think I might survive it. I have met other officers wives that have become great friends. Which in my case is good because my family is not in New Mexico. I have been doing my bows and flowers to pass away the time. The kids are doing great. Ashton is going into Kindergarten this coming August. Kimberlyn is going to Head start this fall. Reagan is growing up faster than ever, she is walking and always wants to do what her mommy is doing or what her sisters are doing. She says teeth, Dada, mom, and blab blab blab blab. My family is doing great. Kent's family is doing great. We will be getting a new nephew in October from Kent's side of the family. I am so excited to have another nephew in the family. Pictures of the family will be coming soon!

New blog & a lil update

2011-03-16T00:26:00.000-07:00

Okay so I have started a new blog for my crafts and hair accessories. Please if you feel the need to look please do.
Kent graduates on Friday and has a banquet on Thursday evening. Then I get to have him home for 2 weeks straight before he begins working again. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. We are adjusting to the new area, people and house. Anyways, the new blog is- bandoflovehairaccessaries.blogspot.com
Please check it out and comment so that I may improve as much as possible. Thnx

A need for an update.

2011-02-27T19:24:00.000-08:00

So it has been awhile since I updated my blog. Well to start out with Kent is doing great. He is on week 18 out of a 20 week academy. I am so ready for it to be done. We are getting put in Grants, NM. I am supposed to move the 11th of March so that I can be moved before Kent graduates. His graduation is on the 18th of March in Santa Fe, NM. I am so glad that he has done this, I have seen myself grow as well as my children. Update on the kids.....
Reagan is almost 11 months old. She is attempting to walk. She still has no teeth, but that does not stop her from eating anything and everything she can get her hands on.
Picture below....

Kimberlyn is growing fast too. It is hard to believe that she is going to be in school this year. She is always wanting to do things all by herself. I love this little girl. She loves to dance and pose just like her big sister.
Picture below....

Ashton is learning so many things each day that goes by. She is really smart. She will also be going to school this year. She loves math, coloring, dancing, playing with Reagan and Kimberlyn, helping me as much as possible, posing and dressing up as a model. I love her so much!
Picture below.....

Catch up.......

2010-12-20T07:34:00.001-08:00

We have not been able to catch up with life lately. Kent is doing well. He hurt his knee a little bit ago, but he is doing much better. We went down to New Mexico to spend some time with Kent and we took the kids to the aquarium and the zoo in Albuquerque. Life is good. I might lose my mind here and there but in the end life seems to be good. LOL!

.Family pictures with out Kent. :(.

2010-09-23T21:26:00.000-07:00

Kimberlyn is 3 years old today!!!!! Oh my goodness, she us growing up so fast. It seems just like yesterday I was giving birth to her. She is so active and is so smart. She is learning new things everyday from Ashton who in fact is her best friend.

What we have been up to

2010-08-23T23:42:00.000-07:00

We have been so busy lately. We have gone swimming, bowling with friends, watch the rain fill our drive way and stayed sane.

2010-08-12T08:38:00.000-07:00

So Kent and I went to NM last week so that we could sorta celebrate and let him take his tests for the State Police over there. Here are some pictures that I took on our way there and our way home. I love Kent very much and support him in all that he does. I know that he loves me. I know that I want to spend all eternity with him. There are going to be some trials and errors on our road but as long as we have each other we can conquer anything and everything.

.Regan is 4 Months Old.

2010-08-01T23:16:00.000-07:00

2010-05-22T23:02:00.000-07:00

My brother was able to graduate on May 20, 2010. I was able to go and spend some time with my family for a couple of days. The girls and I spent the night Thursday and Friday night and did not come home until Saturday afternoon. They were so tuckered out after this weekend. They played in my parents sand and made sand castles, played on the swing sets, went yard saleing with my sister, my mom, my niece, my nephew and I. We got some good deals. I got a play set for the girls that goes out side that has two slides for FREE. You cannot turn that down, it will be nice, especially when we move to a bigger house in Snowflake. Oh yeah, we are moving back to Snowflake next month.
Well here are some pictures of my brother's graduation.......

.Good News.

2010-04-23T08:48:00.001-07:00

I am feeling so much better. I am able to get up and do things almost at a normal pace. Things are great on this end of town. Ashton is learning all her ABC's, numbers and shapes. She goes to school in August, she is growing up on me. Kimberlyn is also learning some new things, like how to be a big sister. She is doing great with the new addition, she loves to hold her and love on her. Every morning she comes into my room and asks to see Reagan and wants to kiss her and hold her hand, I love it. Reagan is getting so big, she is 9 lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long. She is getting used to all the noise the girls and Kent make during the day. We love having her in our growing family. Kent is doing a great job taking care of us while he has been off. He has 1 week left then he has to go back to work and I am going to miss having him here all day so that I can sleep when I need to. I love that man so much, I do not know what I would do with out him in my life. I am doing very well, I feel better after all that has happened in the past few weeks. I go to the doctor to check on my beautiful little new scars. I know that he will have good news for me so I can start my yoga and walking routines once again. Kent is gone for the weekend. Him and my father went to Las Vegas to a shooting school. I am home with 3 kids for the first time. Can I make it?
Wish me luck. I think that I might need it. LOL!!
I will post pictures again soon.

.Emergency surgery.

2010-04-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

So get this, I had to have surgery on the 13th of April, due to my stinking gallbladder. I woke up at 3 a.m. with a sharp pain in my upper stomach and it was not going away. Kent called the ambulance and I was rushed to the ER for a check up. They took x-rays and an ultrasound, that is when they found that it was my gallbladder. The whole bottom of it was full of gallstones. They did not even give me the choice of whether it stays or goes. I was then prepared for surgery then taken in. I do not remember much but I am in pain and oh so sore. Please keep us in your prayers and pray that nothing else will go wrong with me. Thanks and have a great day!!!

.L.O.V.E.

2010-04-06T09:15:00.000-07:00

So Easter Sunday we went to my mother's house and had Easter there. It was a great day, the girls had a great time. Grandpa took them out on the four-wheelers, let them play out side and spent time with them. My dad does a great job with the grandkids. My mom made an excellent meal, it was delicious. We actually had all of the family there this time. It was nice to have Kent there, too. My parents enjoy having their family around and we love being around them. Logan and Reagan are only 11 days apart and here are some pictures of my mom with the both of the and my dad with the both of them. My father has always loved cuddling with the babies, it puts him to sleep when he does this. It is a traditional picture now that we take when there is a newborn or in this case newborns in the family. Enjoy the pictures, I know I do.........

Reagan Jaye Palmer

2010-03-30T18:06:00.001-07:00

Well Reagan decided to come, finally. She was born on Monday March 29, 2010 at 9:15 a.m. She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches long. We are so glad that she is here. I started laboring around 12 in the afternoon on Sunday, we went walking around town for an hour and I was having contractions pretty regular. When we got home from walking they were calming down, but I was not experiencing any movement from her, so to be safe than sorry, we decided to head in. When we got there I was 4 cm dilated. I stayed that way for the longest time. They made me walk the hospital halls for 3 to 4 hours. I think that I can now walk the halls blind folded. LOL!! After the last time of walking they offered me the epidural, and the pit. I took it, hoping that it would help me along the way. They let me hop in the shower before I got the epidural. After wards, the anathesologist got there and gave me the epidural, then after about 20 minutes they started the pit. At the time of this going on I was finally 6 cm. I was tired, so decided to get some sleep when the nurse came to check on me and put a monitor on her head, cause she could not get her on the monitor that was on my stomach. When she went to put it on her head, she freaked out, Reagan's head was almost out. She told me not to push, and told some one to get the doctor here now!!! By the time the doctor got there, Reagan was almost all the way out. He got me into position and told me to say UGH, a few times, then after about 3 or 4 times of saying that, he told me to start singing I am a Child of God. She was here!!! I did not have to push at all, she came all on her own.
Well enough of that, here are some pictures...................

.One Birthday Wish.

2010-03-26T10:25:00.000-07:00

So today I am 23 years old. Wow, I feel so old. LOL! Kent and I have been together for 4 1/2 years. We have 2 beautiful little angels with one still cooking in the oven. I was hoping that I would have all 3 of my little girls by now, but Reagan has decided to stay in there until she feels she is finished. I am so thankful for my family and all of the support that they give me in all that I do. My kids are my pride and joy. My hubby is the love of my life and my main support line. Kent has been doing so well not to complain about the house. I know that I have not been able to keep up with it as much as I should, but he stills loves me and understands what I am going through. I am so thankful for that understanding. I try to do as much as my back will let me do. We have a doctor appointment on Wed. to see if I had made any progress in the last week. I am now 38 weeks along and still plugging along with this pregnancy. Reagan likes to sit right in my pelvis and hit me in the bladder, then kick me in the side, or the ribs. The joys of being pregnant.
My birthday wish for this year would be........................
For my family to be together and to be happy with what I do have in life!!!

.38 weeks and still counting.

2010-03-25T16:08:00.000-07:00

Okay so I am 38 weeks along and still pregnant. I am having contractions still, and dilated to 3 cm almost 4 cm, still thick. The waiting game is so long and drawn out. I am ready for her, my doctor will have to induce me by April 3rd. Only time will tell, I have another doctor appointment on Wed. I hear that the inducing process is so much harder than going into labor yourself, I am a little afraid of both. You'd think that I would not be, with this one being my 3rd baby. Wish me luck!!!!!

.A new addition.

2010-03-20T08:43:00.000-07:00

So my sister had her baby on the 18th of March. He weighed in at 6 lbs 15 oz and was 20 inches long and was born at 8:18 that night. My sister is so excited to have him here, so is the rest of the family. He is the first grandson and the first nephew on my side of the family. My niece, Zurri, is not too sure about him, but she will get used to having a little one in the house. Here are some pictures of Logan Ray McNeil...
Another thing that I just thought of was my niece kept trying to give me the baby, we think that she thought that he was mine, until my sister started to nurse him then she started to understand that it was her mommy's baby and not Aunt Kassy's.
We love her, she is a silly little 2 year old. Congrats to Amanda and Tug!!!!!

Day at the Park

2010-03-18T21:32:00.000-07:00

After twisting Kent's arm to get out of the house for some much needed R & R we went to Snowflake and spent some time with the girls on the jungle gym. Ashton and Kim loved the slide and swings and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Here are a few pictures of the girls on the slide.

.Still Waiting.

2010-03-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

I am still waiting for Reagan to make her grand appearance. Kent is ready for his vacation. School is going great for both of us, we are still plugging along with it. I am so ready for Reagan to come, I cannot bend, I lose my breath easily, and I cannot stand for long periods of time. I as big as I can get. I will be 38 weeks on Saturday and I have a doctor appointment on Monday, so I have to wait it out until then.

.Favorite Places.

2010-03-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

I am so not happy about this pregnancy. I had to go to the hospital once again Friday night. I had contractions every 2 to 5 minutes. So we decided to go up to the hospital and check everything out. We would rather be safe than sorry, so we went up and found out that I was not crazy and that I was contraction on a regular bases. They had me walk the halls of the hospital for 2 hours and I really did not change. I am so unhappy about it. I keep telling myself that the Lord knows when she is able to come and make her grand entrance. I am so ready and I know that Kent is ready too. The kids are doing well, and are excited for little Reagan. I got all the stuff ready for her and the girls are excited to see this new baby stuff around. They think that it is there for their baby dolls, and we have to explain to them that it is for baby Reagan. We are just waiting it out with this pregnancy. So wish us luck!!!

.The Doctor is OUT.

2010-03-10T22:00:00.000-08:00

So I went to the doctor's today and he said that I could not have the baby next week because he was not going to be there. He is going on a vacation with his family. I wish that I could go and have this baby tonight, but he said that if I go before Monday that they will still ship me to the valley. The hospital is really strict on when they will take you and let you have the baby up here. I have to be more than 37 weeks to have the baby in the hospital up here. He said that he also does not like missing his patients deliveries. I do not blame him, he has been there through the whole thing, why not be there till the end. He is a great doctor, we have really enjoyed having him there through this pregnancy. The nurse asked me today if this was the last baby for us, I told her that it will be for at least a few years. I am still young and have awhile before I really need to worry about my age. I will only be 23 on the 26th of this month, so I have a few years still. Even though I told Kent that I wanted to be done having kids when I hit 30 years old. He said that that was fine. He said that he would go for that. I am so glad that I have him in my life too. He has been there through the thick and the thin with me, and it has only made us stronger in the end. Well I hope that every one has a good night, I know that I will, I am going to go soak in the tub then hit the hay. Have a great night!!!

.Full-term.

2010-03-08T17:33:00.000-08:00

I am so ready for Reagan to get here. I am considered full-term to my doctor. I got see him on Wed. and I really hope that he gives me something that I am really looking for, like you are dilated and effaced so much that you can go any day now. Kent is ready for his vacation, as I was informed today. I am ready for him to be here to help with the girls too. We are so glad that he has this job and the opportunity to take this much time off with out losing his job and get paid for it. Wish me luck!!!!!

.Update on mommy and baby.

2010-02-24T17:56:00.000-08:00

Well today I went to the doctor's and had my 34 week appointment. The doctor said that I am measuring a little bit bigger than I should be. He thinks that she is about 5 lbs. and 2 oz. already and I still have 3 weeks to go until I am full term. My doctor moved my due date up to the 26th of March. He said that he will not let me go past that date. Yesterday my sister that is due around the same time as me, went into labor, they were worried that she would have the baby early. She went and had an ultrasound today, and her baby is fine and weighing in at about 6 lbs and 6 oz. She also has the same amount of time that I have to go. I am not ready for her to have hers and I am not ready to have Reagan yet. I have to at least make it another 2 weeks than I can go any time. I am so excited for her to get here, but first I need to get things together. Hope every one has a great week!!!

.Finally a family picture.

2010-02-20T19:05:00.000-08:00

Here is a resent family picture of our family. We finally got it today. Sorry for those of you who want one, all you have to do is leave a comment on here and let me know where to send you one, or just email me at kassy_palmer@yahoo.com.

. Exercise, new doos, and muscles.

2010-02-16T21:18:00.000-08:00

So we have had a great week so far. School has started for me, and Kent starts on the 22nd. He is so ready to get the ball going, and I am excited for him. This week has been pretty crazy with school, Kent and the girls exercising, and new hair cuts for some of us. Today Ashton and I decided to go and have a mommy-daughter day and go to lunch and get our hair cut. There are pictures below to show the new doo's. Hope you enjoy the other pictures. They are of the girls exercising with Kent doing the P90X. Every time Kent has that on, the girls get in there and do everything that the instructor and Kent are doing. Ashton can do any where from 5 to 10 good push ups, 3 pull ups, and lots of running. Kim can do 1 to 3 push ups and 1 to 2 pull ups, with lots of running, too. They make Kent and I laugh so hard. They can be such girls at times and others they are just one of the boys. LOL!! I love them so much.
Today Ashton was so excited to get her hair cut until they were finished with it. Then she started to pout a little bit. She did very well for it being her first official hair cut. We got it done at the same time so that we would be done at the same time. What do you think, do you like them? There is also a picture of Kimberlyn being held upside down by Kent, but she looks like she is right side up. Kent thought it would be a cute picture to put up here for all of you to see. LOL!!

.Life is a challenge.

2010-02-12T22:50:00.000-08:00

So today I went to see my mom and the rest of my family. My mom had surgery on Tuesday of last week and she is doing good for having a incision hip to hip. She has had this surgery before, just not this bad it was a hernia. This was her 3rd time of going under the knife with this kind of problem. I decided to go and let the girls play with my niece who they have not seen in awhile. Well they were doing good until Zurri, my niece, decided that she did not want to share any more of her toys with Kim and Ashton. Poor little Kim, she was getting picked on by Zurri. She punched Kim in the face, hit her on the head with a drum like thing threw things at her, slapped her, and broke her bracelet that my mom got her for Valentines Day. Kim was so ready to get out of there tonight, and I do not blame her at all. I tried to referee all of this, but with helping my siblings getting packed and ready for their big weekend of hunting and 3 little girls fighting, I was about to pull out my hair. My mom really could not do anything she is still on the road to recovery and will be that way for at least 6 weeks. My sister tried to help with them too, but we were doing the 4/40, to getting the kids out the door. I finally decided to head home and get the girls out of the line of fire. What was funny was that Zurri did not want to pick on Ashton, cause she knew that Ashton would hold her ground and Kim was a softy. Ashton actually protected Kim from Zurri a couple times, but Kim seemed to end up on the wrong end of the fights.
On a good note, Valentines Day is Sunday. I hope that everyone has a good one and remember that Love needs to last all the time and not just on this one day.
Oh yeah, I start school on Monday, I am so excited to do so, I cannot hold it in any longer. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.School is In.

2010-02-06T10:11:00.000-08:00

So Kent and I decided to start school together so that we could be each others support. I start school on the 15th of Feb. Kent will be talking to his counselor to find out when he will start classes. He will be going to school for Criminal Justice and I will be doing Health Care/ Medical Records. We are so pumped to set that example for our kids. I want them to have that in their lives so later on when they ask what we did with our lives I can honestly tell them how proud I am of Kent and I for accomplishing something that we have been talking about for years. Wish us luck! We will need all that we can get. LOL!

.30 weeks pregnant.

2010-01-28T12:25:00.000-08:00

I went to the doctor yesterday for just a checkup and they went ahead and did an ultrasound. It went really well. They had to make sure I was not thinning out and that the baby was still okay, especially with the preterm labor, and yes everything is okay. Reagan is weighing in at 3lbs and 6 oz and 15 inches long. She is almost fully grown according to how big my other two were. Ashton weighed in at 5 lbs 15 oz and 17.5 inches long. Kimberlyn was 5lbs 3 oz and 18 inches long. I have only gained 6 lbs on this pregnancy. I am so surprised, I am eating anything and everything. I am also glad that I have not gained a lot, it will make it easier to lose that extra weight. Here is some pictures of little Reagan Jaye.
She did not like the ultrasound tech. waking her up, that's why she is covering her face.
I think that she has my lips and nose. What do you think? She is already so precious. I love her so much already. I have been buying onesis here and there. I am getting so excited to see her in just a few weeks.

.8 months prego and a car too.

2010-01-25T15:03:00.000-08:00

I am now 8 months pregnant. Technically a pregnancy is 10 months long, you know the whole 40 week thing. This pregnancy has been much different then the other two. I have now experienced premature labor, and let me tell you it is so not even fun. You worry if you are going to make it or if the baby will make it after she enters this world. I hope not to experience it ever again. I am getting so big, or I should say she is getting so big. I lose my breathe just tying one of my shoes. I feel like I am much bigger with this one than the other ones. When it comes to the nesting mode, I am so not into it yet. I am more tired then anything. Kent found himself a nice car yesterday. It is a little sporty, but it can also hold car seats. I am glad that he will have his own car, so I do not have to go get him at 11 o'clock at night after work. The girls are starting to realize that soon there will be another family member. Ashton understands more than Kimberlyn, but they both know that baby Reagan is in mommy's tummy.
Here are some pictures that you might enjoy..........
I think that this is a good picture of me and Reagan Jaye. (January 2010)
Now compared to the last time I took a pregnancy picture a month ago, I have grown a lot.
I was trying to put my hands together underneath my belly, they do not touch!!!LOL That's how big I really am, or I just have short arms!! LOL
Here is a picture of Kent's car. He really enjoys it so far. I am so happy for him, he deserves one!!!!
Well I hope you enjoyed what you have read and seen. Have a great day!!!!

.Premature Labor.

2010-01-13T19:59:00.000-08:00

So it starts out like this. I am 28 weeks along and having contractions. I started having them last night around the time I went to bed, and they did not stop today.
We decided to call my doctor and they told me to go up to the OB department and get checked out. It was a pain to try to find out what to do with the kids. Thankfully we have good friends. One of our friends was happy to take them and really enjoyed them. She said that they were very easy to take care of, she loved watching them and said that she would gladly take them again if needed. She lives one block from us and I am her visiting teacher, we also know her from the singles ward in Snowflake. Anyways, we got to the hospital and the hooked me up to the fetal monitor and an IV. With the IV they had to poke me 3 times before they finally got it to stay. I felt a lot like swiss cheese after wards. LOL!!! They watched me for 5 hours and gave me some medicine to stop the contractions. When we headed up they were 20 minutes apart then when we got there and hooked up they were 3 minutes apart and were really concerned that if they did not stop that they would end up airlifting me to Phoenix to have the baby. I was getting worried. Kent then called his mom and she called his dad. Thankfully he was next door at Wal-Mart getting some stuff, he came over and helped Kent give me a blessing. I am so grateful for the gospel and the priesthood and my hubby. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They released me around 7 p.m. and said that if they continue like they were before to go back up and then they will decided what to do from there. Again, thank-you to all of those who helped and said prayers for us.

.12 weeks to go.

2010-01-11T08:50:00.000-08:00

Why do I count down so early? I have no idea why. I have only 12 weeks to go until my due date for Reagan comes. I know that it will come sooner than later, especially how fast the last year has gone. I need to start getting the bag for her ready and a bag for the rest of us as well. Anyone want to watch my kids for me when the time comes? They are really good girls they are not any trouble. I also wanted to thank Mom Palmer for watching our kids that day. They loved it and the cookies were great. Thanks a million. We had a great time being by ourselves. It was weird but great. I am so used to having my kids around so much that when I am gone for more than an hour it seems like I am out of place. I love them so much, they are good girls.
Reagan will be here before we know it. I am so excited, Kent gets to take at least 6 weeks off to help me around the house. Isn't that great??!!!! He also gets paid for those weeks, too. Well I have to go and change a diaper. Thanks and have a great day!!!

.Christmas Events.

2009-12-28T09:36:00.000-08:00

We had a great Christmas this year. The girls really got into it. We went to Mom Palmer's house for the traditional gingerbread house making event. They really enjoyed it, especially the candy part. lol!!! We had most of the family there. The only people we really missed was Mandy and her family. We miss you guys so much and hope that you had a great holiday!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXO Here are some picture of us having some holiday fun...........

.More updating.

2009-12-18T20:00:00.000-08:00

So I promised you all pictures of us girls at the temple lights, well here you go, plus some thing a little extra.......
Me and Reagan Jaye. I am now 6 months pregnant. Wow, I have along way to go still.
The girls and I at the Mesa Temple lights. It was our first time there and they loved them a lot. I think I am going to make it a tradition to go every year.
You can see how happy the girls were.

Some of the lights. And Mary and Joseph with the donkey that carried Mary. I am so thankful for cars these days, I do not think that I could fit 3 carseats on one donkey. LOL!!!!!!

What's in a name?.

2009-12-15T10:11:00.000-08:00

Well it is official, we have picked a name for little Palmer #3. Her name is going to be Reagan Jaye Palmer. We are so excited I only have 14 weeks left until we get to meet her. Everything is going well with us. Christmas is just around the corner and this week is the week I go do my shopping. The girls helped me decorate the tree this year. We did homemade decorations, it is much cheaper to do that than to go buy decorations. Our tree has more of a personal touch to it this year. Kent was happy that I did that instead of buying them, we saved tons of money. The pregnancy is going very well. I am getting to the point to where I lose my breath very easily, and cannot stand for long periods of time. I also cannot see my feet. Kent just laughs at me and says that I had small feet to start out with. He is doing great too, he passed all of his tests for the Mesa PD, but never heard back from them for the interview, that was the last step in the process. Oh, well, he still has a job and is still able to pay all of the bills and take care of us. Christmas Pictures of us will be take with in the next few days and will be late, so I guess you call them New Years Pictures 2010. The girls are doing great. Ashton is now potty trained during the day, not at night yet. Kimberlyn is trying to do everything that Ashton does. Money see monkey do!!! She is talking much more and loves to play with her big sister.
I don't know if I told you yet or not, but thanksgiving my sister announced that she was pregnant. She is due on April 6th, 2010 and is having a little boy! My mom says that she would like us to both be in the hospital at the same time so she could just go room to room, instead of having to go up 2 times within in days of each other. My sister will have the first grandson in my family. They are excited and I am excited for them.
Well we hope that all of your shopping for the holidays goes well!!!! And be safe out there!!!!!

Our visit down to the valley.

2009-12-02T17:19:00.000-08:00

We went down to the valley for Kent's second test for the Mesa Police Department. We went down a day early to spend some time with Kent's brother and his family. The girls and I have never seen the Temple lights, so when Kent and Gordon were at a friends' house watching a football game and having a guys night out. Nicole and I and the girls went to the lights. I loved seeing them, so did our girls. Pictures will have to wait. I would also like to thank Nicole and Gordon for having us over and letting us stay. And thank-you to Julz for letting me and my girls for coming over while Kent was taking his test. By the way Kent passed his test with a 86%, so he is just waiting for a call back for the interview by Tuesday. I hope that he gets it. He has been trying so hard to provide for his family. Thank-you so much for doing all you can, Kent!!! We love you!!!

.Why we give thanks.

2009-11-28T11:47:00.000-08:00

Well out Thanksgiving weekend has gone well so far. I went to my mother's house and stayed there for two day so that my kids could play with my niece that they hardly ever see. My sister announced that she is expecting a baby boy on April 6th, 2010. Is that crazy or what? They were going to wait until December to tell me, but they decided to tell me now. I was so surprised to hear this. We went Christmas Tree hunting on Friday. I found a really pretty Blue Sproose tree. I am so excited to have the girls help me decorated it. We also gathered pine cones so that the girls could decorate them and hang them on the tree. I am going with the homemade look this year. I think that the girls will like to do crafts this year. Maybe even make it a new tradition, instead of paying lots of money for new decorations, we will just get crafty from now on.
Hope all of you had a great holiday.

.20 more weeks to go.

2009-11-20T16:47:00.000-08:00

I have 20 more weeks to go. I am now half way there, I am so ready to meet her already. I want to get the nursery ready and pick the name so she can have a name. What do you think of Caidiance Raye? I like it, but Kent is not sure. Tell me what you think of it so I can try to lead my way.

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

2009-11-11T17:35:00.000-08:00

Well today was the day that we found out what we are having. We are having a BABY GIRL!!!!! Poor Kent he is 3 and 0, meaning he will be out numbered. I take it the lord thinks that I am so not ready for a boy yet. LOL! Here are some pictures of our newest little angel in the making.

She already looks like her sisters. We did a 4D ultrasound DVD, but I will have to go somewhere I can load it up on our blog. But here she is and we are honestly excited!!!!!

.Excitement.

2009-11-09T08:50:00.000-08:00

Am I the only one who is excited to find out what I am having? I know that I am having a baby, but I really want to find out more so on this baby then on the girls. Is that bad? I hope hope that I can control myself for the next two days. I think that Kent is excited but he really does not express his feelings the way that I do. Why is that? We hope that everyone is doing well. I will post again on Wed. and let you know what the sex of the baby is. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day!!!
LOVE,
THE PALMERS

.Halloween 2009.

2009-10-31T21:37:00.000-07:00

Halloween 2009 was great. We went to my mother's house in Springerville for Halloween this year. She made a witches brew (a.k.a. homemade root-beer), pizza and halloween cookies. My niece and the girls played in my mom's homemade Indian Tee-P. The ate candy, helped hand out the candy and enjoyed their day with their cousin. It was great to be with my mom and dad, I wish that Kent was there, he has missed the past 3 years of halloween due to work, which I understand, he has to work. I love him and wish and hope that next year he is here for them to enjoy this holiday with them. Ashton was a Tiger and Kimberlyn was a Kitty Cat, my niece was a pirate. Here are some pictures of them:

.Halloween and a vote.

2009-10-30T10:53:00.000-07:00

The count-down for when we find out what we are having has begun. Did you vote? I have no idea what I feel I am having. I do know that it is for sure a baby. LOL I feel this little one kicking so much I think that it is going to kick a hole in me, and I am only 4 1/2 months along. So hurry up and vote you only have a few more days until it is revealed, (HOPEFULLY)!!! Have a great and Happy Halloween. Be safe out there tomorrow.

.Showing Already?.

2009-10-18T19:26:00.000-07:00

So I have a picture I took today just to show you how much I am really showing and I am only 15 weeks along. This is so crazy, I look like I am about 7 months pregnant. I hope that this kid is not too big for me to carry.

What do you think?

.Update on our baby.

2009-10-16T13:02:00.000-07:00

Things are going well. We went to the doctors office on Wed. and we were able to hear the heartbeat. It took the nurse awhile to find it, but she did find it. The heart rate is 155 beats per min. It is healthy and growing strong. We will be able to find out what we are having on November 11th, hopefully anyways, if it shows itself to us. I hope that it will. We will for sure let you know. I put a poll up for you to vote on what you might think that we will have. BOY or GIRL???

.Weather Changes.

2009-10-09T08:52:00.000-07:00

Well it used to be warm, now it is cold. It just seemed to happen over night. The girls have had the sicknesses that have been running around, today they are healthy. We are doing great, Kent runs everyday no matter the weather changes. He is staying in shape for work. He is doing so well with his work, I am so proud of him. I love him and always will. The baby and I are doing wonderful, I have so much more energy since I just started the second trimester. I am craving Italian food one day then the next it is Chinese food. This pregnancy is so different then the others. I am just glad that I am able to keep food down now. I hope that all is well with all of you. Have a great day!!!!!!

.Bad days come and go.

2009-10-04T19:09:00.000-07:00

The bad day that I had the other day has come and gone. I am a survivor. There are things in life that you just have to bite your tongue on and take it like a woman. Some of you have gone through days like that. My kids survived their mommy. I love my kids so much I disliked yelling at them for little things. They are just kids and do not know any better, but I did. Kent really did not help that day, he did something, that should remain between us, that he should not have done. So I had to deal with him and his attitude at the end of a hair pulling day. I thought that I was done with yelling for the day then he came home. LOL I had a great day that day. Now things are starting to get back on track. I am so glad that I can be level headed at certain times and this was one of the times it was needed. Kent was just another kid for me to take care of that day. Everything is making its way back to normal. Thank you for all the concerns of my own well being. And I really do appreciate your calls that were made to me to check up on me.
Love is the greatest gift that I could ever ask for.
The pregnancy is going great, we actually find out what we are having in a month. I can hardly contain myself. Kent thinks that it is a girl and i really hope that it is a boy, but I will take whatever the Lord gives me as long as the baby and I are healthy.

.Bad Day.

2009-09-27T15:42:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had one of those days where everything gets on your last nerve and you are always on the edge? I am so having one of those days. I cannot take a nap, my nerves are so short today, the kids are not willing to take a nap either. I am so exhausted and cannot relax for the love of money. What to do? If only I had the answer I would be happier. I love my kids so much I am trying so hard not to yell or scream at them. I am pulling my hair out in agony and exhaustion. I wish that bed time would come much earlier today. I need to relax and chill out. I will make it work. Thanks for your concern.

.My Baby is 2 years old.

2009-09-23T10:06:00.000-07:00

I know that it has 2 happen but I really do not want it 2. Kimberlyn is 2 years old today. I cannot believe it, time is flying by 2 fast. We actually celebrated it on Saturday with my family. I know that Kent's family is 2 far away to celebrate with us, but we were thinking of them at that time. We miss them very much. Here are some pictures of us out on the town on a Friday night.

We went to the bowling alley and the girls loved it. This is them playing the arcade before bowling.

These pictures were of us before we went into the bowling alley. We were waiting for my family to get there.

We tried to get her to smile and she gave us this instead. It is just so sad. :(

Kimberlyn really liked to bowl with daddy and just daddy. She would not bowl with anyone else. She jumped up and down every time she threw the ball down the alley.

Ashton had a good time the 2nd half of the game. She would bowl with Kent as well as Kimberlyn. She ate the first half with my mom. So the other half she had more energy.

This is Kimberlyn dreaming of driving. She is dreaming 14 years 2 fast. LOL

We went to McDonald's for dinner, and cake. We got Kimberlyn a candle that had the birthday song on it, because we were not able to light the candle. We also got her her own piece of cake and then we got little 2 inch cupcakes, it was fun. The kids, and I mean kids, my sister and her friend even enjoyed it. She is 14 yrs. old and so is her friend. I guess that is okay.

The put some music on the jukebox and my niece and my girls took a break from bowling to do some dancing, they enjoyed doing that as well.
I tell you what, my kids were tired by the end of the day. They slept really well that night.

We love you Kimberlyn Maye Palmer, and wish you a very Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Ashton, and Baby #3

.He is back.

2009-09-15T22:06:00.000-07:00

Well Kent is back. He got back Monday night at 7 p.m. We are so glad to have him home safe and sound. He said that he had a good time, he learned a lot of things that will benefit him in the near future. I am so proud of him, he is doing so well at his current job.
Potty training is going, just not as I planned. I am trying but they seem to keep making accidents, I am washing underwear ever single day and my patience is running really low. Kim is the one who is making the most mistakes. I am trying, it seems that it will never end.
Well, one of my really good friends had her baby this morning at 5:20 a.m. by c-section. She went to work as an OB Tech., and ended up a patient instead. I am so happy for her and her hubby. They named him Kyson Rayleigh Butler he weighed in at 6 lbs. 3oz. and was 19 inches long. This is their first baby and they will do well. She will be a good mommy, and her hubby will make a good daddy.
Our pregnancy is going well. We have a doctor's appointment in the morning at 9:50 a.m. in Show Low. We are going with Dr. Tindall. We have so many good things about him so we decided to try him out on this pregnancy. I am not as sick anymore. I have also felt the baby move a lot lately. I know that other people probably won't feel it until later on, but since it is inside of me I can feel it more than anyone else. We will keep you on update to what is going on with our family.
Have a great one!!!

.Missing My Love and a Birthday 2.

2009-09-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

I am missing my hubby so much and the girls are missing their daddy. We are going to be so glad when Kent gets home. At night I have been so lonely, I have no one to cuddle with or rub my back when it hurts. I know that he will be home Monday night, I hope that I can make it then. I hate being away from him for so long. Kimberlyn is having a hard time with it as well, she keeps telling me to go to the car and get daddy. She is daddy's little angel. Ashton is doing okay with it, she asks once in awhile about daddy and when he is coming home.
Well on a better note, the potty training is going okay. They have had their accidents and have had their good ones. I am trying so hard to keep up with it, training two kids at the same time is a little challenging, but, I will make it work. They have to be potty trained before this new baby comes. I am determined to do it. Hopefully it won't take that long.
We had fun on Labor Day Weekend. Sunday we went to Kent's parents house after church and spent the night there. Gordon and his family came up from the valley with their kids. We let the kids ride the horses with Nana, while Kent, Gordon and their father were out golfing. Kent really enjoyed spending some time with them, it had been along time since they were able to do something like that together. The girls had fun playing with cousin Mya. They roped Nana's T-Bone bull, and then would push it up, then Ashton was teaching Mya how to make dirt birthday cakes. They also climbed on Nana's hill and played on the grass, and picked the flowers. Mya stepped on a baby garden snake, Kim chased a baby lizard with mommy. It was a very eventful day. We hope to do it again soon.
Kimberlyn's birthday is on the 23rd, she will be 2 yrs. old. So we will be trying to do something with friends and family possibly on the weekend before her birthday, which would be the 19th of September. We will post the date and times for sure. Have a great day.

.So lonely.

2009-09-08T14:41:00.000-07:00

Well, I am so emotional right now. Kent is gone for a week for TSU training in Tucson. I took him to the prison this morning so that he could get a ride with the other guys that were going down to the training. We left our house at 5:30 a.m. and got there at 6 a.m. I know that he needed to do this for TSU, so I will just be strong and make it work. I will miss him a ton and so will the girls. They love their daddy just as much as I do. Things will work out for the better I know. Hope that everyone had a great weekend. We did, we spent most of it with Gordon and Nicole (Kent's brother and sister-in-law), they brought their kids and our kids loved playing with Mya. We were able to meet Carly for the first time. She is such a cutie. I know that I will be able to see them at the end of the month for Carly's blessing. I am going to try to go down to the valley with the girls, Kent will not be able to go. Wish me luck. Have a great day!!!

.One of those days.

2009-09-05T12:11:00.000-07:00

It is raining outside and my house is clean and the girls are going crazy from being inside so much, Kent has gone somewhere, I am going insane from being inside all day, too. Kent left this morning without us, I think that he wanted to have some time to himself. I know that he deserves it once in awhile. I hope that I will have that same opportunity to do the same thing. I love being around my kids, it just seems like I need to get away before I go nuts sometimes. Well an update on the pregnancy, I have been feeling better. I have had a lot of headaches and been throwing up here and there. I should not be complaining to you all out there, I will stop and I am sorry. I am just so aggravated right now. :[

.Potty Training.

2009-08-31T10:48:00.000-07:00

I have been attempting to potty train Ashton and Kimberlyn and so far I have failed. I talked to Nicole (my sister-in-law) and her daughter, Mya, is potty trained and now I am going to potty train my girls before Jan. Wish me luck. I will keep you updated on our progress.

.Being sick and pregnant.

2009-08-29T21:33:00.000-07:00

I do not like being sick while I am pregnant and having to rush to the bathroom at any given time. Any smell and/or thought of food that I do not think sounds good to me I get sick and have to run to the bathroom. I have had to shove Kent out of the way so that I could make it there on time. I know that this does not last forever, just for a few months. I am almost into my 2nd trimester. I have about one more month of being sick then I am finished with being sick. I am so excited to have another little one to join our beautiful family. I love being a mother and Kent loves to be a father. I know the girls are going to be good big sisters, they love babies.
I was able to attend my friend's baby shower today. She is looking so good for being 8 months pregnant. She is going to be a good mother and I know that her hubby will be a good father. They will make good parents. I know that Kyson will be well taken care of. Good luck Loni and Rhett!!

Shoes are Tangy.

2009-08-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

I have a funny story of Ashton. A couple days ago we were driving home from Snowflake and we had given the girls some Sprite in there sippy cups, Ashton figured that her sippy was just not cutting it, so she took off her shoe and poured her Sprite into her shoe and started to drink out of her shoe. EEEWWWW!!!! We took her shoes away from her and she did not like that. Every time we would go into a store Kent had to carry her and she did not like that. She does some of the silliest things lately I think that it is the age.

.Baby #3

2009-08-20T09:46:00.000-07:00

This is our new addition. It is still so small, I call it my little peanut. That is about the size it is. Kent was the first one to spot the heart beat, so we know that it is alive and growing. Our next appointment is in September. We will not be able to find out what it is until right before Thanksgiving, but we will keep you updated.

.Baby #3.

2009-08-19T21:05:00.001-07:00

So have a surprise for all of you. WE'RE PREGNANT!!! I am about 6 weeks and 4 days along that makes the due date for the beginning of April 2010. We are trying to get the pictures of the ultrasound but the scanner is not working very well with our laptop. So as soon as we can get it to work we will get that up for you.

.Maybe so.

2009-08-13T16:54:00.000-07:00

My work is going okay. I am actually going to think about doing day care again and earn money that way. Mainly because my feet hurt and they have bruises on them. I also am so exhausted and cannot seem to keep up with my duties at home or with the rest of my busy life. Kent has been doing well with helping me with the kids while I am at work. I appreciate all that he does. I am hoping to get some kids to watch instead of working the gas station. I like the adult interaction, but sometimes it gets annoying and I miss my babies and hubby time. I know that things will work out for me. Wish me Luck!!!! :(

.4 Years Ago Today.

2009-08-12T08:23:00.000-07:00

4 years ago and 2 kids later, we are still loving each other. Our love grows stronger everyday that passes by. He is the love of my life and I am so excited that I found him. He is the greatest man I know. August 12th, 2005 was one of the greatest days of my life. I love you, Kent.

.Attending Weddings.

2009-08-08T21:42:00.000-07:00

My cousin, Jereld made Allison his eternal companion on August 7th, 2009 in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. We were able to attend their reception held at my Aunt and Uncle's home in Clay Springs on August 8th, 2009. The wedding cake was done by my parents. They did a really good job. Jereld and Allison are into hunting so they were able to go crazy with the hunting theme. I think that they did a really good job on the cake. The cake topper was a bride dragging a groom, so my parents decided to add a gun to the bride's arms and it just added more character to the cake. Here are some pictures to show you what it actually looked like.

.Working again.

2009-08-01T15:16:00.000-07:00

Well I got a job at the gas station here in town. I know that Kent makes a lot more money now that I really do not have to work, but I wanted some extra money to spend on my little girls and anything else we might need in the future. It will be different for me, but the extra money will be nice to have in case of emergencies.

.Potty Training.

2009-07-31T20:15:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been trying to potty train the girls at the same time. So far it has not been that bad, but there are still the bad days. If anyone has any ideas it would be very appreciated. Thanx!!!!

.Why not?.

2009-07-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Lately Ashton has been a character. Every time I ask her to do something she says "Why Mommy? It has really gotten annoying but she is so silly.

.Forever Yours.

2009-07-24T11:27:00.000-07:00

The other day we went to Flagstaff as a family and it got really quiet this is what I found in the back seat of the car. Aren't they so cute? They are ours forever more.

.More crazy Pictures of the Palmer.

.The Changes of Life.

2009-07-15T09:51:00.000-07:00

I know that I have been slacking on posting again. I apologize. I have been busy with the move and all. Last night Kent and I were able to have a night to ourselves. He decided to take me out on the town. He went over to our landlord's house and asked if their daughter could watch the kids while we had a date night. They were more than happy to do so. He took me to Flagstaff and we went to the movies and watched 'The Transformers', it was an awesome movie, really hilarious. Then he took me out to eat at Red Lobster, (my favorite place in the world). I was so happy and told him thank-you so many times on the way home it was crazy. I love my hubby so much. He kept saying that I deserve it for all the hard work I put into everything. I know that I do work hard, but sometimes I think that he works harder. I do not know if we are actually going to make it to Vegas this time around. Our finances might not let us. We are not used to paying rent again so we have to get in the groove and doing that again. Plus we need that money for other things, and my cousin is getting married that weekend and we sort of owe it to him to be there. If it was not for him inviting me to the bomb fire where I met Kent, we probably would not have met. I would also like to spend that weekend with Kent and my girls, it is the weekend before our 4 year anniversary, so we wanted to do something nice as a family. So sorry Meg, we will let you know for sure if it is a go or not. We love you all and miss all of you. 'Til next time.............

.We are finally in. YEAH!!

2009-07-10T09:51:00.000-07:00

Well we are finally moved in. We have all of our furniture and we are in business with our washer and dryer. I actually have a washer and dryer now. YEAH!!!!!!! NO MORE LAUNDROMAT!!!!!!!! Kent has been here to help me in moving. I am appreciative of him doing this for me. We had our first visitor today. It was a sister from our ward, she is also our neighbor. She was very kind, she brought us squash, corn and cucumbers. Thank-you Sister Baldwin. I am actually enjoying being here. The residents of Joe City have opened their arms and welcomed us. We are happy to be closer to work for Kent. He is able to spend more time at home and we are loving it. The girls love having him home so that they can crawl all over, chase, and wrestle with him. I am so lucky to have a hubby that takes such good care of me and my girls. We love him so much. I have started to run and lose weight, I will keep you updated on my progress. We have decided to go to Vegas for a sealing and blessings. It is going to be perfect timing for our anniversary. 4 years have flown by so fast it is crazy. We are going to enjoy that weekend with our kids and family. I love being around Kent's family they are so supportive about everything that we do. Thanks. We all hope that you had a wonderful holiday, because we sure did. Hope you have a great day.

.We are moved. (almost).

2009-07-03T22:43:00.000-07:00

We are in Joseph City now. I am using my computer, but it connects wireless so I am able to do a quick post. We will be getting phone, internet, and cable sometime next week and we will let all of you know what it is so that we can keep contact. We miss talking to you all and being able to blog. It has been most hard for me. The phone and internet have been my life lines for awhile. I am so spoiled. LOL I am glad that Kent was able to help us move, I do not think that I would have been able to do it with out him. I love him so much and could not imagine life with out him. We would like to wish everyone Happy 4th of July. Have a great one.
We have some furniture that still needs to be brought over and I get my washer and dryer back so I will not have to go to the Laundromat anymore. YEAH!!!!!! I am so happy for that. The kids are sick. I have no idea that they would get a cold in the mild of summer. We are attending the reunion on the 4th of July, well I am and Kent is going to until he has to go to work. I think that it will be fun to see family again that we have not seen in a few years. I am so ready for a break as well. Today I made 2 batches of rolls, (the ones that Kent absolutely loves) one for us and one for our Land Lords. I wanted to try to take them rolls with our rent payments. They have actually offered us a house to buy, the four trailers they own, and more. We are thinking about it. I am so glad that so far we are being welcome here in Joseph City. Thank-you for accepting us. We might be a little crazy, but you got to love us. LOL We also have a new niece. Gordon (Kent's brother) has welcomed another little girl to their lives. She came to this earth on July 2nd. Her name is Carley Rene Palmer. She has a bigger sister, Mya. Congrats Gordon and Nicole! That makes 1 niece and 1 nephew this year. We are happy to know that our family just keeps growing. We love all the new babies.
Well it has been along day for me and Kent is supposed to be home from work any minute now. He can walk to and from work. We love being so close to work it makes it easier on the both of us.
Have a good 4th of July and good night to all.
We will post again soon.

.Shoot!!!!.

2009-06-29T10:30:00.000-07:00

Kent likes to go to these shooting contests and he does very well. Saturday we went to one and he did very well. He got 17th out of 24 people. I am so proud of him. We took the kids and I stayed back away from the shooting line so that they would not get hurt.

The kids really liked to play in the dirt with all of the rocks. They had lots of fun. After we dropped Kent off to work we went and spent the rest of the day at nana's house. Thank-you mom for being there for us.

.Change in plans.

2009-06-28T20:38:00.000-07:00

It seems like we are always changing our plans. Kent's T.S.U. training was backed up a week so we are going to go ahead and move on the 7th of July. Plus that would give us a chance to attend the reunion and 4th of July festivities. I am glad that we chose to do that. Kent will be able to help me that whole day and we can take our time doing so. I would have loved to move in yesterday. But I know that I have to be patient at this time. I am glad to be moving and so is Kent. I would hate to leave my friends and family here in Clay Springs, but I know that we are doing what is best for our family. Thank-you to all of those who have chosen to be friends with us, we appreciate you and are glad to have your friendship. Hope we can visit soon. I will miss being able to talk with my long time friends, but it will be good for us to make new friends. I love to make new friends and yet still have the old friendships. We will miss it here.
Our kids have had a great time learning from the other kids and learning how to make friends. Everyone in Clay Springs always have opened their arms to us and made us feel welcome.
"When people share experiences together, and then they must part, there is a feeling of sadness. Saying goodbye to people that we feel connected to is an occasion of somber reflection. It is hard to imagine our lives without them, and yet we have no choice but to go on. It is comforting to know that for however long you will be separated that you will always be in each other's hearts. It is also an opportunity to be more present to others in your life and to look for opportunities to form new friendships."

.Belated Father's Day.

2009-06-26T13:11:00.000-07:00

Kent was not able to be with us for Father's Day, he had to work. I really missed him.
We went and spent the day with my father in Springerville. The girls had lots of fun.
They were able to play with their cousin, Zurri, and their aunts and uncle and grandparents. It was a very nice day. here are some pictures of the girls riding my sisters horses.

I even went riding with my sister and it was quite nice and relaxing. I would love to do it again sometime. Thank-you Amanda, it was fun.

.Moving so quickly.

2009-06-25T14:41:00.001-07:00

We are moving On July 3rd instead of July 7th. I have taken the time out to schedule everything to where we can move next Friday. I am so stressed out on boxing, marking stuff and more boxing. I wish that things would just go the way I planned it, but you know as well as I do that nothing ever does. I know that my house is a mess because of the boxing and it is driving me nuts. I know that soon I will have a new and clean home. We are so excited for the move. The other day we went to Joseph City to set up some more stuff and sign papers and as soon as we drove up to the house Ashton said: " Look our big new house." She is excellent with her directions, sometimes I feel like when I get lost I should just ask her where to go. When we head to mom and dad's we usually ask her where to go and she tells us exactly where to go. I was watching her the other day while we were driving down the road and she was watching the things that passed by.
On Wed. Kent had the day off and he decided that we needed to go to Flagstaff while we were on that side of town. So we went and spent some time at the mall. As we drove into the mall parking lot, Ashton said: " What is that big house for?"
Kent: " It's a mall." Ashton: "What is that?" Me: "It's a really fun place to shop." Ashton: "Money?" Kent: "Money?" Me: "Yeah, Ash, this is where we spend money." Ashton: "Oh, okay."
They played in the play area. and it was nice to see them be a little more independent. Then we went to get some grub and the first thing Ashton said was: " Where is the horses?" She has a remarkable memory. She remembered the mall in Mesa had the carousel.

.It's now or never.

2009-06-18T22:03:00.000-07:00

Okay, so we are moving, but of course you all know that. There is a park about a block and a half from our new house. We decided to go there today after measuring the house for furniture. And this is what happened..........

.Daddy's little angel.

.Ashton's challenge.

.Piece of cake. (chocolate, to be specific.LOL)

We had to take Kimberlyn's shoes off, she got them muddy. She had a ton of fun with daddy. She is daddy's little angel. She loves him just as much as Ashton and I.

.Happy 3rd Birthday, Ashton.

2009-06-15T14:06:00.001-07:00

This is her birthday face. Some happy face, right? LOL She is such a character. She would not smile for the love of money. I tried but this is all I got out of her today. :(

This picture was taken a couple of weeks after Ashton was born. You could tell how happy Kent and I were to be parents. Kent is a very good father, I could not ask for anything more.

June 15th, 2006, Ashton Kaye Palmer was born at Summit Health Care Center @ 3:08 a.m. She weighed in at 5lbs. 15oz. 18 inches long.
She is now a strong, sassy, and fun 3 year old. I love watching her grow each and every day. This picture was when she was 2 months old. I love her more than ever. I am so blessed to have her in my life.

Ashton loves to ride the horses at Nana Palmer's house. She loves pearl the most. Every time we get in the car to go to town she asks or more so, tells us that she wants to go to Nana, Papa and Pearl's house. She will never quit until she sees her Pearl and Nana, and Papa. Thank-you mom and dad for letting them get so attached to you guys. They love you tons, so do we.

.Do I need to panic?.

2009-06-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

I had a very eventful day today. I went and spent time with Kent, we went to a shooting contest in Holbrook and he did very well. One of our friends watched the girls while we spent some time together. It is always nice to spend some time together. I am so proud of him. Kent was going to stay down in Winslow tonight, because he has T.S.U training tomorrow. I will have to go get him tomorrow. Well when i got home I was going to give the girls a bath, they were dirty from playing outside all day, plus they really needed one. I was getting everything ready for them and Ashton had gone back to the back all by herself, then came back to the front and said that her throat was hurting. I suddenly could smell my perfume, I went to the back and she had taken some sips of my perfume. I smelled her breath and she for sure did. I called my mom and she gave me the number for poison control. I called them and they said that the only toxic I would have to worry about is the alcohol in the perfume. It is the same toxic found in beer and wine. I stopped worrying so much after talking to them. They called a couple of times making sure that she was okay. As far as we know she will be fine. Thank-you poison control. If you mother's do not have the number for poison control here you go: 1-800-222-1222 Those of you who have gone through this then you understand what is going on.

.It comes once a year.

2009-06-11T19:45:00.001-07:00

Okay, I would've liked to post pictures of Kent when he was a baby but I have not been able to get over to mom's to get the pictures I want, so I will have to do another post on him when I get the pictures. But here are some pictures of Kent in the past 4 years that I have known him. There is a picture of him when we were on a road trip, us with his parents and grandparents after Ashton was born, his awesome parents, our engagement picture, him in the snow when we lived in Heber,and him playing his video games. I love this man more than anything and so do his two beautiful children. I could not imagine life without him, he is the love of my life and my best friend. I know that he is that way because of his parents, so thank-you so much mom and dad for raising him the way you did. I know that the Lord has many trials for us to over come,but I know that with him I can make it through. Thank-you Kent for everything that you do for our family. Happy 32nd Birthday!!!!

.The New Chapter Part I.

2009-06-10T12:53:00.000-07:00

It is actually really nice. It is about 1200 sq. ft. and 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It's also has a split floor plan. Now I will have room to relax, and the kids will have a bigger room for their new beds. I am so excited. We are going to start moving in after the 4th of July weekend is over. I will post pictures of it after I decorate it the way I want to. I that the girls really like it too. They kept running around in circles the first time we went to see it. Kent and I both think that it will be good for us and our little family.

.A New Chapter.

2009-06-08T17:17:00.000-07:00

Well we are at it again. WE ARE MOVING. I think I have counted 4 times that we have moved in the past 4 years Kent and I have been married. I know it is horrible, but the place we will be moving to is much nicer than where we are at right now and we will be closer to Kent's work. I will miss all of my friends and family members that we were close to. Joseph City seems to be a really nice town as far as we know. Kent and I thought that we were going to get away from family for a change and guess what there are Brewers' and Palmers', so we seem to still have family, they are just distant family.
Oh, yeah and mark your calenders. Kent will be 32 years of age on Friday and Ashton will be 3 years of age a week from today. I love these two oh so much. I hope that they know how much that really is. Time is just flying right past me. It seems that just a few weeks ago Ashton was still in the womb. I love that little girl so much. I also love Kimberlyn just as much.
We are having a little party for Kent and Ashton on the 16th of June. So if you are in Snowflake at that time we are having Cake and Ice Cream @ the Pioneer Park around 12 p.m. So please feel free to come and join us.

.Our Busy Week.

2009-06-04T20:55:00.000-07:00

.A day at the Palmer Salon.

2009-06-01T16:46:00.000-07:00

Well I tried, and I think that I did a pretty good job myself. I told Kent that I really needed to go to school and get my cosmetology license. He totally agreed, it would save us the trip and money to the barber shop and the salon. Ashton was getting a lot of knots in her hair and it was always getting in her way so I decided that I could attempt to cut her hair, plus I would be able to help blend in the hair she cut herself. I think I did an okay job. Kimberlyn decided that she needed it done too, so I just cut her bangs and she was satisfied with me doing that. Ashton cried the whole time I was cutting her hair, she loves her hair. After I was through with both of them they both went and got dresses on and were much happier than before.

.Random Pictures of the Palmer Kids.

2009-05-31T19:34:00.000-07:00

The kids love to be at their nana's house and they also love to lay on the stairs just for fun. They are so silly, they are so creative at times.

.Day at the Park.

2009-05-27T17:40:00.000-07:00

.Black & Blue.

2009-05-26T17:39:00.000-07:00

Ashton was bringing me her sippy cup and the chocolate milk mix in her arms, she was not looking onto where she was going she ran into the edge of the counter and got her first shiner. I feel bad, she has been so clumsy lately. And this is the end result..............................

.Memorial Day Weekend.

2009-05-26T11:44:00.000-07:00

Ashton liked her ice cream as well. She just did not get it all over herself like Kimberlyn. The loved being at heir Nana's house. We love you mom and dad. We were also able to see Great Grandma Palmer and Great Grandpa Palmer.
Kimberlyn had fun eating her ice cream bar that Nana gave her. She had Ketchup in her hair from dinner and ice cream from her chest down, so I think she was covered at Nana and Grandpa Coaches' house.

.T.S.U. & The Bug Hunters.

2009-05-24T11:23:00.000-07:00

The girls found a bug and decided to play with it before they actually killed it. Kimberlyn is not afraid of the bug, she likes to touch them and play with them.

Kent made it. He is now on the tactical security unit for the prison.
We are so proud of him. I know that this is something that he is going to be good at.

.Graduation.

2009-05-22T02:22:00.000-07:00

Well my little sister graduated from 8th grade on Wed. the 20th of May. I am so proud of her for doing so well in school. She will be a freshman next year. She has grown in the past few years from a little girl into a young woman. We love you Allysea, keep up the good work.

.Shout out to Daddy.

2009-05-22T01:57:00.000-07:00

I know that through all that Kent and I have been through the past 4 years have been hard. We are still loving and holding on together. I know that he does a lot for our family and we do appreciate him very much. Thank-you Kent for all you do.

.Day with Daddy.

2009-05-19T19:10:00.000-07:00

Kent also took me shooting. Suggestion to all don't mess with the Kassy. I think I am a pretty good shot.

Well Kent had today off so we decided to spend the day getting dirty.
As you can see, the girls are really in that department.
We also went on the Pinedale dirt road and this is what we saw. Can you see the mommy and the baby? We saw them cross the road and the baby antelope fell, so Kent slowly drove up to the side of it so that I could help it up and as soon as we got real close it shot up and started to run back to its mother. That is when I quickly pulled my camera out and this is what I got. We had a blast today.

We love to spend time with Kent when has the day off.
We love you daddy!!
