More to come later!!!!

The Bike!

Whent to sports LTD and found Marshall a matching bike, it was too cute not to take a picture. We put him on it and he looks at us and says, "go! go!" it was so funny.

No we didn't buy it for him, it was $160.00.

The Fair!

OK every year we try and go to the Nevada County Fair. We made it this year with AAron's parents. Marshall had fun but we didn't ride any rides this year:(

We saw all the Animals,


Took a nap,


Got a monkey tattoo,



Watched the Hay bale competition,


and just had fun!


The corn dog line was way too long, but we made up with the Cinnamon rolls and chocolate covered strawberries!

Shasta Lake Camping Trip (10 Days)

Almost every year we go camping at Shasta Lake with AAron's family. This year we went for 10 days! Work? Well it was horrible this past week when we got back, but 10 days of vacation was so worth it!



We did so much and so little all at the same time. We ate like kings, ribs, tri-tip, steaks, chicken, foil dinners, spaghetti, Big 'ol mess, taco soup, pork roast, 10 pounds of bacon, french toast, pancakes, breakfast burritos, hash browns... well you get the idea!



We stayed at Antlers Campground and were treated like VIP's since Robert does some work there in the off season. So we had a camp tent site and an RV site with a trailer on it that AAron's parents and us shared, so no sleeping on the ground this year!









We swam in the lake, we swam in the pool, we took naps, Marshall got tossed, Marshall watched movies in the camper, we talked, laughed, and just hung out. Oh yeah, AAron also found 84 caches.







Here is Christopher and Mary, we hope that she will be part of the family sometime soon!

I have to thank Sayde (AAron's sister) for all of these pictures!

OK I think I'm getting the hang of this....

So I Showed AAron that I updated or blog and he told me it's boring! There is no color, no music blah, blah, blah! So I'm vamping it up for him! I hope he likes it!

So, time got away from me....

OK I've heard it from more than one person that I need to update my BLOG! So here it goes. Nothing really new is going on with us Palmers, just work, more work, and spending time with family and friends. So I just really going to post some recent pictures of us.



We went and took family pictures at the Tree farm south of Chico with AAron's family on Easter Sunday. They turned out OK Marshall was in need of a good nap by the end of it. But he was pretty good for the two hours that we were out there.

I love this last picture...I think it's funny. We look like we are a band and Chris is the lead singer. I also love Marshall's face it in.




We recently went on a trip up to Portola, CA. We spent the weekend with Robert and Krista at a "resort." Lets just say that it was an adventure. We went to the Train Museum and Marshall learned to play golf. We was pretty good.
Marshall also loves to get sips of his Dad's soda. This picture states give me some or I'll eat your face off! I love it!





So Marshall has a crush...yes I know he is only 19 months old but he loves Tangled! No matter what he is doing he will sit and watch tangled for hours. In fact he is watching it right now as he falls asleep on the couch.

Well I guess I don't have much more to say, hopefully I'll post more soon.

TOO Funny!

I know that I have a lot of catch up to do, but working 6 days a week sometimes really doesn't leave a whole lot of time to blog. Enjoy my favorite video! AAron thinks Marshall is trying to be Stevie Wonder!

Birthday present at 4 months.

Today we went to my favorite pizza place...PIZZA HUT. Since we don't have one in Chico we went to the one in Oroville. It was soooooo gooood! Since all their Pizza's are only $10.00 it was cheep too. (Their wings are really good also!)


So while we were in Oroville we went to the thrift store. Now am not one for buying things at the thrift store, but how could you pass this up.



We got a steal of a deal on it too. Only $44.50. Online it's $119.00. It has all the parts and is brand new! We know that Marshall is only 4 months old today, but we couldn't pass it up!

Marshall's Blessing Day

On Sunday, December 27, 2009 we blessed Marshall in church. It was a great day full of family and friends. There was about 45 people that came to church just for Marshall's blessing. The place was packed. We missed a lot of friends and family that weren't able to attend, but cherished the ones that were there in spirit.

Grandma Carol made my white outfit and Grandma Krista made my white blanket.

2 month check-up

Today was Marshall's 2 month check-up. He's huge! 14 pounds 7 ounces, 24 3/4 inches long (both in the 90th percentile.) We love seeing him grow day by day. He smiles at us now, batts at toys, babbles and is getting cuter everyday.

Marshall Lee Palmer

He's here! We would like to welcome Marshall Lee Palmer to our family. He was born on 10/27/2009 at 8:10pm. He came in at 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long.

It wasn't an easy labor to say the least. My water broke that morning about 3am when I woke up to go to the bathroom. AAron thinks it's funny that my water broke while I was on the toilet, no mess to clean up. We went to the hospital and checked in about 3:45am. Things were progressing sort of slowly...so they gave me pictocin (I do not like that drug.) I got my epidural about 9am and didn't start pushing until 4:40pm. I pushing for 4 hours and they had to vacuum him out and give me an epistomy. (yucky!) He has a huge head and it wasn't quite turned right. If the vacuum didn't work they were going to have to do a c-section. I would have been so mad if after 17 hours of labor I received a c-section also.

It's been a change...I keep thinking he is someone else's, and they are going to come and take him away. But he is OURS! and we love him so much.
I finally got about 7 hours or so of sleep last night (thank you time change!) and am not feeling so zombie like.

Hope to post more so we can keep a record of just how quickly he is going to change.

Too much fun!

OK so the title really isn't true. We have not been having that much fun. AAron is back in school and has two classes a week at night. These classes will allow him to get his degree from Butte (finally) and then take some other classes at Butte that will transfer to Chico State for his major there! Yeah! He also had surgery on his wrist for tendinitis last month.
I received wonderful baby showers at work and church/friends. Hope to post pictures of that soon. We are pretty well set for this baby to come. I can not wait to be able to sleep without heartburn/acid reflux every night.
I also came down with something that was going around work last week and spent 3 days at home and 3 hours at prompt care that was a total wast of time and money since they did not diagnose me with anything just it wasn't strep or the flu. I can tell you that coughing while you are 37-38 weeks pregnant is not fun and the baby hates it. My stomach is so sore from coughing, but I think I am almost over it. (It's been a week and a half!) I even shared it with AAron and was jealous that he could take good drugs to get rid of it and all I could take was Tylenol and cough drops!
I have 12 days until the baby's due date. I'm still at work and will be until next week sometime unless this baby decides to come this week (hopefully not!) My next appointment is Thursday and the Doctor will see if anything is happening down there!
It's raining here today, and since I have been pregnant all through the nice weather I have one pair of pants! and one pair of shoes that I can wear in this type of weather. I told work that I'll have to stop coming in since I won't have anything to wear soon. The baby has dropped and is head down, so so far so good. It just means that now my belly is lower and my shirts are shorter!
Well, I guess that is enough complaining for one night. I need to go clean up all the clothes that I threw around the room this morning trying to find something to wear to work.

Summer Vacarion is over!

So I know that I haven't blogged recently. I think it's because I started doing this when AAron was in class, and he did not have class this summer. So here it is his first day of class and I'm blogging again.
Everything is coming along with the baby just fine. We have settled on the names Marshall Lee or Mia Lee. Lee is a family thing for AAron to have the first child's middle name as Lee, (it is his middle name since he is the oldest.) We finally bought the crib on Saturday. I love it! Real wood and it didn't cost a fortune. It will also convert to a toddler bed and a full size bed too! Since we don't have a lot of room I don't know if I want to buy the matching dresser. I know that we would use it and it would become a set with the crib. We will have to see. The crib was a must!
I am now in my 31st week, and going to the Doctor every two weeks. My back hurts at the end of the day, I think I have Sciatica and I only have about 3 pairs of shoes that fit these feet. I am looking forward to the summer ending and cooling off a bit. It has been getting cooler at night which is nice to not sleep with the air on.
Hopefully I will post some picture of what we did this summer sometime soon. (Not much.)

Camping and the Humboldt Redwoods.

We went camping at Humboldt State Park in the Redwoods from May 29-June 1. It was a nice little vacation to start our Summer off right.

We went for hikes in the the forest and looked at some HUGE trees. We took a little trip to Eureka (not much to do or see), played in the river and fed some Blue Jays.


We also hugged some trees, why not right?


We found this nasty Banana Slug in our camp one morning. It was nasty. I don't think that I had ever seen one in person before. This once was enough for me.


Well, that's enough for now. Soon to come baby update and pictures of me, and the baby bump. Doctors appointment is Tuesday.

Chico Outlaws Game.

AAron and I went to opening night of the Chico Outlaws Baseball team on Memorial Day. It was perfect weather, about 10 pm I even got a little cold. The game was long but very fun also.

Here is the mascot parachuting in from a helicopter on to the field before the game started. He did a great job landing between 1st and 2nd base.

The Outlaws won 15-5. It was a slow game, we got home almost 11:00pm and had to work the next day.

We found this HUGE moth at the game. When it flew by I thought it was a hummingbird. I showed it to a little boy near by and he looked at it and slowly backed away. I thought he would have thought it was cool, but I guess he was not a fan of HUGE bugs.

This game officially marks Summer Vacation for AAron. He loves to go to games and we will probably go to at least 3 more this summer.
