Hi everybody! Thanks for the birthday calls and greetings so far today. I'll be sure to post some Allie birthday pictures soon.
Laurel was so excited for Allie's birthday that she gave her one of her presents to open in her crib at 11 PM last night. Stevie and Allie were still awake (long nap on Allie's part - I don't know what Stevie's deal was).
I just got back to work after having a birthday lunch with Allie (and Laurel and Stevie) at McDonald's. She really enjoyed it, and she was ready for her birthday nap.
Tonight we're going to have cupcakes and ice cream and more presents.
Allie's a very special little girl and I'm so proud and happy to be her daddy.

birthday girl
Happy birthday, Allie! We wish you were already here in Virginia so we could finally meet you! It's very fun here! We like the parks and the trees and Virginia Beach is a really fun beach! Maybe we can visit you there next year and we can play together!
Love, Summer and Marnie
Love, Summer and Marnie

And always remember that your Grandma and Grandpa love you very much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 YEAR OLD!!

07.08.09
Hey family .. put up some new pictures on my page. I'm still not 100% updated, but close. There's mostly new stuff in the colored pencil section (although it was from this winter) and several new things in the watercolor section from class assignments.
I'm almost done with classes, just two weeks left. Staying busy with all the homework and projects and studying for tests, but getting very excited to see Aaron again. I'll head up there right after my last class around noon on the 23rd, and then I'll see lots of you at the reunion a few weeks later! We're still working out the details but Aaron might be coming too! He's very excited and is looking forward to meeting more family.
174 days until the wedding.

happy 4th
Happy Birthday Mom! 60 years and still looking good! You are an amazing mother, and I'm excited to see you this summer. Have a good time, and I hope your day is more exciting than mine - which shouldn't be difficult. So really, I hope your day is amazing.

happy!
To celebrate Michelle's birthday, we finally got our Maryland tax return and I zeroed out one of the credit cards with it. HOORAY! By the end of today, the tax return will be entirely gone and we will be $1027 closer to being OUT of debt. (It's A LOT of debt. But still.)
Anyway ...
Happy birthday, Michelle! Hope you have a good day! (And go check Facebook, if you haven't already because that's where all your birthday notes are.)

Reunion
So I know that Trina is all gung-ho about the Christmas reunion since she'll be there, but are we planning anything fun and exciting for this summer's reunion? I'd like to hike Silver Creek and go to the beach prior to going up to Washington. And I'll definitely be driving seperately to Washington because I have a friend to visit in Seattle. And then I'm thinking that I'll go from the reunion down to my friends in Vancouver. And leave from Vancouver to drive to Rexburg to see Eric, Laurel, Stevie, and Allie. And then get home after that. Any thoughts on all this? -- T

Tammi has the girls
Officially the girls are returned to their mom on July 6th but they are currently at her home. They will come down here for one more night, this coming Tuesday, to pack up all of their stuff. We'll haul it to Aloha on Wednesday and Emily and Clarissa can rearrange their things. We've had Hailey, Nicole and Naomi for three months and have had our ups and downs. I think it's time for them to be with their mom, she hasn't had them for a very long time. I'm sure she'll have some challenges but it will all work out.
We may take a little vacation to celebrate but I'm not sure where or when. Any suggestions? Now I can concentrate on reunion planning and getting things ready for Christmas. I have plenty to do to keep me busy. Maybe I'll even work on my webpage a little more often. Take care.
Love ya,
MOM

Christmas reunion planning
So it's on my Top 100 list to help plan a Palmer Christmas reunion ... and then Mindy very conveniently scheduled her wedding for Christmas! Yay! So what are the ideas that we have to celebrate Christmas ALL together for the first time since ... 1993? I think that's the last time all 8 of us were in Oregon for Christmas, because then missions started and then Eric and Jared got married ... and now it's 16 years later. SIXTEEN!!! That is way the heck TOO LONG!!!!
1. Christmas caroling. Because we always went Christmas caroling when we were kids ... although I don't think we'll all fit in the same van anymore. Har har. Poor Dave and Dolly Huber, if they still live around the corner - that would be A LOT of people on their front porch!
2. Baking cookies to give to the caroling families.
3. The Nativity "pageant" on Christmas Eve. It will be really cute to have the kids do it this year.
4. Mindy has family portraits scheduled for the day after Christmas - thanks, Mindy! Those will be fun to have with everyone in their Christmas/wedding finery!
5. A temple session? It would be the first time all 8 of us kids would be in the temple together. That would be COOL. Mom and Dad, start getting enough family names for us to take through, and don't forget to plan for Laurel, Michelle, Amanda, Adam, and Aaron! (Huh. That's a lot of A names.)
6. Because many of us will have to pay a lot of money to get to Oregon in the first place (4 plane tickets each for me, Eric, and Jared) plus Mindy's wedding and all, I would suggest keeping the gifts to a minimum - just the exchange like we've done for the last 2 years. If spouses want to give each other stuff, that's their deal. I likely would NOT pack gifts to Oregon for Adam and the girls, only to have to pack them back and risk something getting lost. We would just do that here in Vicksburg before we left or something.
7. For stockings, we could have the spouses fill each other's stockings and take care of their kids themselves, and maybe have Tawnia, Emily, and Clarissa do something with each other's stockings.
8. I'd like to do the book exchange with the kids. I don't know how the other families feel about it - if they're just going along with it because I want to, or if you think it's actually going to have the effect of helping our kids be closer even though we live all over the country. I really like it. What do you guys think? Even if this year, we exchange a book we already own so no one has to buy anything - I still like the concept behind it.
9. Mom and Dad, are you going to do your own thing for gifts for everyone, or do you want in on the exchange?
10. Mindy wants cupcakes for her wedding cake - I think it would be fun if we did that together. And yesterday at church, I found out about a little cake decorating class that's this week. So I'll see what ideas I get! And all the other girls (all NINE of us), see what you can figure out about cake decorating and experiment around with things. You have six months!
That's my start. Discuss.

reunion and Christmas
Well, Aaron was planning on coming to the reunion, really. But then he just got the dates for HIS family's reunion. They are at the same time. He's not going to that one either though. It's also the same weekend as a golf tournament .. which wouldn't be a big deal except that he works at the golf course that hosts it, so it's the busiest weekend of the season. No way is he going to get out of it. Sorry to all those who haven't met him yet - you'll just have to wait for December.
Speaking of December - I just got an email confirmation from Lindsay Zook. Looks like we're getting family portraits done on December 26th! Merry Christmas from me! That means we all better be there and looking good. I'm really quite excited for it, along with the pictures of just me and Aaron that we'll take later that day.
In other news, I just got 92% on the bubble-sheet portion of my cooking midterm. Hooray for me! And time to hurry to typography class so I'm not late.

new callings
Adam and I finally got callings today - we were both sustained as first counselor ... Adam for Elders Quorum and me for Primary. We're not surprised about either one. We've known that's where Adam would end up since we got here - we were just wondering what was taking so long. (Today was our 10th Sunday here.) I was more of a wild card, but we're not surprised about a presidency spot for me either. I knew I wouldn't do anything in Relief Society, but it could have been either Primary or Young Women. And now here we are.
Adam has never been in a presidency, not even as a kid. He was the Deacons quorum secretary but that was it. Since he got home from his mission, he was one of the ward clerks at first, and then did ward mission stuff for 4 years. So this will be all new for him.
I was in the Relief Society presidency twice in the Dayton branch (2nd counselor, then 1st counselor), but I left that branch 11 years ago. So this is pretty new for me as well. At least I've spent the last 3 1/2 years in Primary already, observing from behind the piano. I'm going to email the Primary people in Chevy Chase and pick their brains for ideas, both for Sharing time and Music time. If anyone has any ideas for things to do in Primary (or NOT to do in Primary), let me know!

mini reunion
We're offline for a few days because we're going to Houston to visit Jared for Memorial Day weekend. ROAD TRIP! We're excited to see Jared and Michelle, and Brooke and Bryan, and meet Emma. Yay!
(Honestly, it will be nice to be in a city again for a few days! I remember when I was leaving Montana, someone made a smart alecky comment that people in the city go to the country for vacation, so where do people in the country go? I said - The city! I was on my way to Los Angeles and Sydney Australia!)
And it will be good to see my college buddy, Liz. Mom, do you remember her? She spent Thanksgiving with us one year, the same year that my friend Alisha came up from Utah for Thanksgiving as well. Anyway, she lives only about a half hour from Jared and this will be the first time we've seen each other in almost 10 years.
We're just waiting for Adam to get home from work so we can load up the car and leave. At the end of every sentence, Summer says, "and we're going to Brooke and Bryan's house." Sorry, Jared, Michelle, and Emma, that you seem to be afterthoughts for her. We looked at the pictures of all 3 kids this morning, and Marnie said that Emma is cute - it was very cute how she said it. We hope they tolerate the fairly long drive all right ... but we're bringing the laptop and movies. So they should be fine.

Baby-sitting
Hello, family. Just thought I'd give you an update on the latest adventure of my life.
A couple of weeks ago, while attending FHE at the branch, I sat next to Kendra, and she said she needed someone who could watch her baby daughter a couple times a week so she could do some studying. And I felt that as her visiting teacher, I had a responsibility towards her. And it would have the added bonuses of getting me out of the house a couple times a week and she would give me (and Clarissa) rides to FHE and institute. So I figured it was a pretty good deal all the way around.
Mostly, I help feed and change her baby, Elli, who's just starting to crawl. She's really cute. And I'll push around her stroller all over the neighborhood at the north end of town, so I get some exercise. (Note to me: bring a hat next time. I singed the top of my head.)

school, wedding, Christmas
Dear Family,
All is going well here in Idaho. I'm taking 16 credits at school and will be starting work back at Payless again shortly. I spend my evenings doing homework and talking online with Aaron. My classes are going well, and I'm learning a lot. This semester I'm taking Family Foundations (religion class studying the Family Proclamation), Art History II, Typography, Watercolor, Culinary Fundamentals (I'm learning how to cook!) and Safety & Sanitation (how not to kill people with food). I was rather intimidated by this schedule at first, but the classes I thought would be the hardest are actually the most fun so far.
Wedding planning is all going well. Lots of ideas floating around and lots of talking with Tawnia and Mom. You can read all the details at my wedding planning blog. If you haven't gotten an email invite for that, let me know, and I can resend. One thing I wanted to mention here though was what people should be wearing. The main color of the wedding is royal blue - like the color of the sidebar on insanityinc.net - along with white and silver. I'd love for the guys to all be in black suits, with blue or white shirts and blue ties (patterns are okay, as long as the dominate color is blue). I would love to see the little boys in ties too! Girls have a little bit more flexibility - a blue dress is preferable, but a black skirt with a blue top is alright. If anything, a white top and black skirt works too. Silver can also work, for the guys' ties as well, as long as at least a few people have silver (and not just one). I'm not particularly picky on matching color exactly, or the style of the outfit. I want this to be stuff you already have or if you buy it it'll be something you'll wear again, so it isn't a financial strain at all.
So why does any of this matter? Well - I really want to make sure the WHOLE family is there for the wedding... because my Christmas present will be kinda pointless without us all! I'm planning on hiring a photographer to take family pictures of us. I've already talked to Lindsay Zook (married to Mike Zook) about a few ideas and such but haven't set anything in stone just yet. I would love to get a full group shot of all of us in the coordinated outfits (including me - I'll get something besides the wedding dress), along with the smaller family pictures to go above the fireplace. They would all color coordinate and look fabulous. So I sincerely hope that everyone is planning on coming to Oregon for Christmas and sticking around for the wedding a few days later - I'm really looking forward to being in the temple with all of my brothers and sisters together for the first time.
Love,
Mindy

my personal blog
I'm going private with my personal blog tomorrow. I've just had a feeling the past few days that it's time to make it private. If you have a particular email that you want me to send your reader invite to that may not be the email I regularly send things to, please email me at my yahoo address.
Also, Eric/Jared/Nathan - let me know if I need to send a second invite for your wife, or if just the one to you will suffice. Mindy, I'm also happy to send a reader invite to Aaron if he wants, but I need an email for him.

My Week in Salem
I spent the last week down in Salem, helping Amanda with the boys, so she could get some work done. And sleep. Henry has a good set of lungs, and he can be very loud when he wants. But he does like being cuddled. I once spent a whole evening with him in my arms, a book in hand. Ah, that was a wonderful evening. I took pictures when Henry got his first bath; he really enjoyed it.
Joshua is a handful. He likes tearing all the books off the shelf, flipping over his toy bins (and then climbing in them), pulling the puzzles off the shelf (and then the shelf down), and begging to see Pocoyo movies every time he sees me at the computer. Mostly I was on the computer when he was asleep. I tried doing a bit of work on my writing down there, but only on one day. We went out for walks several times while I was there. Once he fell asleep in his stroller; another time (after waking up too early and not going back to sleep), he fell asleep right in his high chair.
Joshua likes piling his friends, as he calls his stuffed animals, on top of people. His favorite book right now is a Richard Scary book that he refers to as the kitty book. He's started to develop a sense of humor. Sometimes if you ask him what an elephant says, he'll answer, "Dada mia." He also likes hiding things and asking where they went. Like I didn't see hm put that Cherrio on the chair. He got Puppy taken away after he tried hiding him in the diaper pail, at least until Puppy went through the washing machine.
Nathan and I went shopping for Amanda's birthday together. I'd wanted to get them windchimes for Christmas, but those are a seasonal item. So I got her windchimes for her birthday instead, one decorated with glass hummingbirds. And Nathan got her a hummingbird feeder. He also got her a panda card and candy from the boys. Joshua scribbled on the card and envelope (and dumped out his crayons). Mom and Dad and Clarissa came on Saturday, and we all went out for lunch.

Michelle's thumb: continued
Michelle had surgery on her thumb on Thursday, April 16. She had nerve grafts and skin grafts taken from her wrist. It doesn't look pretty right now, but the doctor says it's progressing well. She has posted some pictures on her Facebook page. Her mother was here for six days to help out.
The same day as the surgery, I took Brooke to the orthodontist, where she got braces on her lower teeth (she already has them on her upper teeth). She is almost done being a Brownie, and will bridge over to Junior Girl Scouts next month.
Bryan currently holds the dubious honor of being the healthiest person in the house. At first I felt bad having nothing to report about him, but since I'm listing everyone else's health problems, he's really doing just fine.
Emma had a couple of urinary tract infections this month, so she is going in for testing this week, to see if she has the same reflux problem that Brooke had a couple years ago. She has started pushing herself up on her hands, so it shouldn't be too much longer before she starts crawling.
