my soccer beaus.

just look at my all stars. sweetest little soccer players to this momma.

divine.

if I had a girl this is so what she would wear. so cute.

gens baby shower.

so gen's baby shower was bananas. really missed her, she looked pregnant! so excited for her to be a momma.
and I did the decorations and candy bar and treats. so when we were planning the shower, I thought she said she was doing the baby's room in deer. and I thought, woodland theme(!) shower. which I just fell in love with. but she actually said GEARS not DEERS and I didn't realize it until we were on our way home from the event and she mentioned it. oh well.
and I didn't get one pict of when the guests were there. lame.

plus one sleeping baby. he was such a ham.

usu homecoming.

homecoming parade. perfect weather for our annual picnic and game. missed yaya and hebes. the game was a thriller, should have won that one. I have been coming to homecoming since I was little, so happy my minis can say that too. isn't grandpa matt and ryder jude little love birds?

bursting.

and I am. with pride. my boy is growing up.
tonight in the car with daddy Jax from the back seat was sounding out shopko as we passed it. just cannot believe that this mini is in first grade and learning so much. he is already a stellar reader. just so proud of you my Jaxie.

Ryder Jude's first birthday party.

so our Ry-ry had a bangin' birthday. don't judge the amount of photos in this post, seemingly a record as of late, but this momma couldn't get enough of this last first birthday for the palmer boys. so bittersweet.
and this party, with all its maps and moxie had ribs, steaks, lemon sugar cookies with sprinkes, mint choc cupcakies, macaroon choc dipped marshmellows, candy bar, and 4 inch round 4 tier birthday cake only for the birthday boy. with a sparkler candle. and a number one pinata, didn't get picts of. and the bouncy castle, didn't get picts of that either. and all his little friends and grans and grandpa matt and Granny Barbs.
and he loved it all. thanks for all the gifts and for coming!
