The Palmer Family: December 2010

We're still here, Merry Christmas!

Even though it's been awhile since anyone has heard from us electronically, we are still here. I broke our computer. Long story, short--I was working on the laptop one day, jumped up to get Seth off the school bus, and my foot caught on the power cord. The laptop went flying, hit the fireplace, and the screen shattered. So....we have been without a computer or internet for awhile. I'll tell the whole story once our computer is restored. Right now, we are borrowing computer time at the library and family's house. Just wanted to quickly let everyone know and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

‘Tis the Season!

Just wanted to share this video with everyone. I’ll probably also add it to the bottom of the page on the blog. It is so sweet. It made me smile and get teary-eyed, to hear what Christmas means to children. Enjoy!

Oh, The Things They Say!

Seth: "Aubrey, say 'Awesome'."
Aubrey: "Awesum."
Seth: "Say 'I'm cool'."
Aubrey: "No, I Awesum!"
(7/20/11)

We were outside on a hot day at the park and the boys were all sweaty. Seth wiped sweat off of his forehead and wanted me to smell it. He said, "Mom, smell this! I smell like nature." I declined and he continued, "You know mom everyone smells like nature when they sweat." (6/18/10)

Josh and Seth were walking in a circle while eating a snack. Aaron asked what they were doing. Seth replied, “We are doing what you do when you talk on the phone.” (Aaron paces while he talks.)(1/22/09)

One night when we were reading scriptures (the Old Testament Reader), we came to the story of Joshua. Aaron said, “Look Joshua! Your name is in the scriptures!” Josh grabbed the book to look. He then said, “Look Dad! I’m in the scriptures!” and he stuck his face in the book. So cute! (2/14/09)
