The Cotton Pickin' Palmers

The Stewart's in Utah

2010-12-19T19:38:00.000-08:00

We don't get a lot of visitors during the winter (I'm not sure why: who doesn't like 20 degrees and an inversion for 3 straight months???) so anyway, I had to share our fun visit with the Stewarts. They came up for a concert in Salt Lake and we had the pleasure of having them up for church and dinner afterward. It was so fun to see them and the girls loved the dolls Char brought for them. Thanks so much Stewarts! We loved seeing you all! Especially you, "Sweaty Halter" - hahahahah - sorry, Hay, couldn't resist.
Ahhhh, twins and twins, how cute is that?!!!
Alyssa, Haley, June, Natalie, Char, and Ruby
Alex and Andy
Stewart girls and Suzy
And finally, The "have twins third" club. Aren't we spiffy? And yes that is baby barf on my shirt. Welcome to my life.

Merry Christmas Palmer Peops! We'll miss you all at the Christmas party - but let's face it, The Lamb Family, in its current state, should not be on the road again anytime soon. Thanksgiving nearly did us all in. ahahaha! but we sure had fun! Love you all!

Easter Eggs with the Stewarts

2009-05-16T19:45:00.001-07:00

Tia and Addie drove with me to Phoenix to drop Johnny off at the airport for his interview in Louisiana. Then we went to Char and Andy's for FHE and dinner. Addie colored Easter eggs with the Stewart kids and had a great time. Molli and Tyler let us crash at their awsome pad and we had a blast.

Birthday Bowling!

2009-04-01T14:43:00.000-07:00

For FHE on Monday we had a Birthday Bowling night for Chris' 15th Birthday!

Thanks to everyone for all you do for Chris. He prays for each of you every night by name - sometimes you make it in there twice - his prayers are quite lengthy! We appreciate all the love that you show him!

Chris is a Deacon

2009-04-01T14:38:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, Chris was ordained a Deacon. He was so proud standing up at the pulpit with the Bishop as he presented him for a sustaining vote to the congregation. He'll get to pass the sacrament the week after conference and gets to go to mutual tonight - he's so excited!

State Basketball

2009-04-01T14:32:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post about Joey's state basketball tournament. They played in the state championship against Precision and lost by 2 points in overtime. Joey had an outstanding season and made the state all tournament team. He played with a great group of boys both on and off the court. We're very proud of him and the Eagles! Thanks to so many of you for making the effort to support him by coming to his games throughout the season.

Gila Valley Temple Ground Breaking

2009-02-16T15:27:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we were able to attend the Gila Valley Temple Ground Breaking Ceremony. Chris was invited as a special guest to help with the ground breaking and we were able to sit on the front row. He was presented with one of the golden shovels that has an engraved plaque on it. It was really a neat experience!

A Chris Funny

2009-01-30T09:28:00.000-08:00

As some of you may know, Chris has never liked bread - breadsticks, pizza crust, OK, but not sliced bread of anykind. He's always "passed" on the Sacrament bread but has taken the tiniest piece he could find on the tray for the last several months. Last Sunday as we were getting in the car for Church, he ran back in the house and came out putting something in his scripture case. I didn't think anything about it until it came time for the Sacrament. As the bread tray came down our row he passed it on to Nick, opened up his scriptures, took out a Starburst and leaned over and whispered, "No bread, candy" and happily popped it into his mouth. Nick and Joey were laughing hysterically (reverently of course). Apparently he had been giving his Sacrament problem some thought and came up with a solution.

Best Friends

2009-01-16T11:34:00.000-08:00

Conner, Tia, Addie, and I went to visit Jenni and baby Brindy (I hope I spelled her name right). Here are a few pics of the new best friends.

Costa Rica here we come!

2009-01-16T08:05:00.000-08:00

We found out this week that Mitch won an award at work called "Peak Performer" - which means they're taking us to Costa Rica for a week!!! I am equal parts excited and anxiety-ridden about leaving my kids for that long. I'd love some advice from those of you who've done this before? I'm sorta freaking out! Help!

Debating with Jenna

2009-01-14T19:49:00.000-08:00

On Sunday during church Jenna picked up a Friend magazine and found a picture of Elder Bednar. She loudly exclaimed, "LOOK it is Bryce's dad!!!" I told her it wasn't Bryce's dad and that it was Elder Bednar, but she would have not part of it and would NOT believe me no matter what and how often I told her. So needless to say she thinks that Jay has been published in the Friend!

I don't know, they kind of do look the same. Maybe Jenna IS on to something!

Baby news

2009-01-13T22:39:00.000-08:00

Just to let everyone know, they are inducing me tomorrow, Wednesday January 14th. Baby Brindy has been doing gymnastics in my stomach, but as of Monday she was head down. They want to get her out while she is facing the right direction. So, check back for pictures of the little bundle. We love you all! Thanks for your love and support. Wish us luck!

JOEY'S B-BALL

2009-01-12T15:12:00.001-08:00

If you haven't had the chance to watch Joey this year your missing out. He is such a great basketball player and what's even better is I was able to be his seminary teacher last year and he is an even better young man. Your awesome Joe keep it up.
