happy new year from all of us.

this is what the palmer's are going to be doing tonight. it wouldn't be a party without food around here! happy new year!

something new.

so glad its a new year. doesn't feel great to start over brand new? I can't help thinking of all the things I could do and make even better in 2011.
goals are always good, and I have lots.
which leads me to a new idea, renewredo. so many things I can change and well, redo. can't wait to document it all. oh, I am excited and renewed for renewredo. :)

wish list.

I told daddy last night that I was in a rut of sorts and needed to get out. so this couch otta do it, right? maybe someday when I can actually decorate a new house. just keeping a list. btw, urban outfitters is the bomb for furniture right now.

ryder jude's blessing day clothes.

couldn't have loved more the way ry-ry's blessing clothes turned out. could you just die for the ruffles? my mom(amazing seamstress) made the baby jumpsuit. perfectly. loved the saddlebacks from etsy and I knitted(yes, KNITTED) the sweater. that could have turned out a little better, but in the end you couldn't even tell. and it was my first knitted sweater. I even kinda liked making it. might even make more. bowtie was vintage palmer, an old temple tie of grandpa rick's. the blanket I crocheted and just loved the way it turned out, and now he can use it anytime. it was such a special day and these picts are so precious.

dot-a-day.

this is for ALISSA.
brighstar is almost offically getting the other st. george sprint store. that means more time in st. george. and daddy got more marriott vouchers. it is official in the middle of January, but we probubly will be going in February. could that work for you guys?
and this is a dot because it makes me so happy to get to spend time with one of my besties. just love you and your fam. let me know.

daddy's christmas.

this is daddy's christmas. candy red 2010 ford f150 decked to the nines. my fav part is the camera that pops up in the rear view mirror while you are backing up so you don't hit anything. like the garage. which I currently hold the title for, 2 me 0 daddy. and it wasn't in this new truck, in the infinity. guess I wasn't meant to drive anything bigger than a sedan. sad. now Jay can drive through sardine canyon with no problems, and run everyone over in his way. not the best pict, but it did have the boys in the bed. they were soo over-the-moon about daddy's new truck. it is so shiny and well, pretty.

omg.

I didn't expect THIS.
yes, its CHANEL. a CHANEL BAG. a PINK CHANEL BAG. my literal dream come true. and it was his idea. hands-down best hubby in the world.
daddy came to me with a printed out page or two a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I would like a "pink bag" or something for christmas. of course I love pink, so I said sure and he handed me the papers. when I realized we were looking at listings for a pink CHANEL bag I about died. maybe I did, and went to heaven.
CANNOT WAIT for it to get here, and it should be right in time for christmas. more picts to come.

6.

you are so big now. and smart and handsome and well, big! so so so proud of you my, Jax. can't wait for your hunting birthday party and trip with dad and watching you open your presents. couldn't be without you.
