Wii Sports!!!!

Madison (Kami's sister) bought a Wii. She brought it to our house and we hooked it up to a projector and had a ball! Some got more animated than others when playing :) As you can see. I have awesome In-laws.

This has been a very busy month for Steven and I. First off we celebrated Aubrey's one year birthday on March 7. I was afraid it would be a tough day for us but it turned out to be a good day. We drove to Mesa and spent time in the Temple and then went to her grave. We were able to spend time with both the Reynolds and the Palmers. We really just enjoyed remembering her and thinking about what she is doing now! We sure love that girl and think about her every day! We are better people because of her.

Steven and I then celebrated our birthday on March 19! (yes we share a birthday, how crazy is that) The problem is that we both want breakfast in bed but neither of us want to get it because it is both our big days. We ended up not eating a great breakfast but we went out to eat which was fun!! I really do love sharing my special day with my Love! He is the best and I am so glad I found him!!!

Lastly we went for our big sonogram on March 23 and our sweet baby is HEALTHY!!! We are so happy and relieved to know that everything is ok!!!! That was one of the most stressful days of our lives and we are glad to know things are good!!! We are very excited to have a little BOY coming to our home and blessing us with his sweet spirit! We feel so blessed to be able to get pregnant and to help in the great plan to bring these children to earth to gain bodies! We know that our little Aubrey is in Heaven right now with the other kids especially this boy telling them all kinds of stories! We hope that all of our kids feel the love that we have for each of them individually. We are excited to have this cute boy in our arms in 5 short months!!!!!

Update

Thank you all for your input on the names. It looks like Lufanda and Max are unanimous. Ok, just Max. Lufanda is still under discussion. Kami is doing well. We had our second appointment and everything is going well. It is so awesome to hear that everything is going well! On March 23th, we get to find out what we are having. We can't wait.

Also, I am sorry if your names aren't on the side of our blog. We didn't delete any on purpose. When I switched backgrounds, some of you got deleted. It's not personal. I'm trying to put them all back on. :) If you don't mind, please leave a comment if you are not on there. I am having a hard time remembering everyone. Especially Kami's friends. Thanks y'all.

Details...

Sorry about the missing detail on the last post. I forget how much women love details. We have been incredibly busy over the last little while. Kami has been sick (not just pregnancy sick, but a bad cold also), and I have been busy with basketball.

But on to the things you guys want to hear... Kami is 13 weeks along. She has been such a trooper this pregnancy. It has been a whole different ride than las time. Last time we were just enjoying the ride during this point in the pregnancy. Until we found out about Aubrey's condition, that is. This time, we are so afraid that something is going to go wrong. We sure appreciate things more this time.

We went to our first appointment and found out that everything looks good! With Aubrey, she measured too small and that is how they found out that something was wrong. This time, our baby measured just right! Our due date is August 18th. We got to hear the heartbeat as well. That is probabl the coolest thing ever!

Thank you all for being such friends to us and being so excited for us about the things that we get excited about. We are truly blessed to have great friends and family!

Yes, it's true!

Aubrey is going to have a sibling!

It snowed!!!! I can't believe it we went out to eat and then came out and it was snowing! It snowed for quite a while and in the morning we had some that even stuck to the ground. Of course as soon as the sun came out it melted but it was cool to see! We definetley are not used to this snow and the freezing weather! Merry Christmas!!!!!!




I love Christmas! I am so grateful that my family was able to come down and be with us! We have a tradition on Christmas eve that we make ginger bread houses. We love competing to see who can make the best! Of course Steven and I won!!! Ok, maybe we all did great! Christmas was great for us this year. We were able to talk with both brothers on missions! They are doing great and we are looking forward to Craig coming home in 6 months! We hope each of you had a great Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year!!

The Palmer's Homestead

This morning we went garage sale-ing. We expected to maybe buy a tool or two. The first thing that we saw at the first garge sale, were these trees. We have been looking for some good trees and these were perfect! Gotta love garage sale-ing. We are also very excited about our new wall! It doesn't seem like much, but we love it. It makes us want to stay here for a little while longer! (shhhhh) Sorry Reynolds & Pitts! Just kidding.

Just picture a garden between the house and the lovely chicken pen. Then some grass between the camera and the garden. Lastly, one of those new fancy trees to the right of the picture... muah!

Kami and I are debating and we want your input... in this corner, we have two options. 1) Rebuilding the nasty, tin, rotted-wood, old shed that we took down to build the wall and saving a buck. OR Buying a very reasonably priced, brand new car-smelling, stable, strong, eye-pleasing shed from home depot! Is there really a choice? Kami seems to think so, so help me out! :)

San Diego

This weekend we went with the Reynolds clan to San Diego. It was alot of fun. It was so funny to see the difference between Madison/Me and Kami/Leslie. When we went to Sea World and the beach, we were like deprived kids in a candy shop! Kami and Leslie were having fun, but nothing like when we decided to go shopping on the Boardwalk. Then the tables turned! I truly love you Kami!

The vacation was awesome! It is so nice to get away from everything. Plus, the Reynolds are just a blast to be around.

The water was freezing, but Madison and I couldn't resist!

This was a cool exhibit!

Tears, Scars, Cars, and Food!

Sorry that we haven't posted for so long! We have not had internet. Finally, I tapped into someone's wireless internet in the area and now we do......

Anyway, my brother Levi left on his mission. He was a huge cowboy who loved to ride in these hills behind my parents' house. Well, as Levi was driving away with my sister (in the black van), my brother David rode up the hill and waved from the top. It was pretty cool. Levi loved it.

I know what you're thinking if you read my sister's blog a few months ago... no, she did not punch me in the face...again. This was just a basketball accident. I didn't want to post it, but Kami made me promise. Notice, I had to shave half of my eyebrow! It gets worse... now it's healed and I still only have half an eyebrow! Oh well, Kami still thinks I'm hot.

Kami and I are taking a cooking class and we love it. I think I'm more into it than she is. She occationally doesn't like to go, but I look forward to it all week. It is a blast! We basically go and make gourmet food and then eat it for a grade! How do you get any better than that, I ask myself? You don't.

Kami and I in our cooking class. This dish was our favorite. It's called Baahmi. It is Indonesian and wow, it's good!

Our teacher showed us how to do this. It was awesome. Unfortunately it was just for looks because the pan is empty... just oil and lemon juice! Oh well, it looks cool!

And last but DEFINATELY not least, my new truck! I have always wanted a truck and I finally got it. We were always borrowing people's trucks and trailors. So finally, we sold my car and bought this. It gets about 25 mpg and is a stick shift. It works perfectly. The only thing is that it doesn't have much power.

We hope y'all are doing well. Thanks for taking interest in our lives (or at least doing a good job at faking it!)

Palmer Family Pictures

My brother Levi is leaving on his mission to Australia tomorrow. We got together yesterday to take family pictures and just hang out. Levi is going to be an awesome missionary. He is a great example to a lot of younger an us older family members!
Kami and I are going to school this semester and we are really excited about our cooking class we have. Every week we sign up for a different course and then once we are all finished with our assigned meals, we eat!!!
The best news of all is that I sold my car and we bought a truck! It's a 2002 Chevy s10. Pictures will be posted.
