Valentine's Day Cookies

Last night Palmer and I went over to my mom's house and made butter cookies with her and my sister Rachel. For Christmas my mom got me a bucket of 101 cookie cutters so we used some fun shapes from that kit to make them. That paired with the perfect cookie recipe, courtesy of our family friend, Sheila, made for a fun family activity. Palmer was very helpful! He got to wear his cute little apron his Auntie Darcie made for him for Christmas...It matches the aprons Darcie made me and Garth a couple years ago.

Random Happenings

I built Palmer a fort in the corner of the living room. He loved it for about a week-then I got sick of it and took it down. Any chance Palmer got, he forced me or Garth into it with him saying "hide? hide?"

While we were in Salt Lake to take Garth to that airport, Palmer and I stopped by my sister Julie's house to visit. The weather was so nice, Palmer and his cousin Kate even got to play outside!


Last but not least here's a belly shot-just for kicks. It's the only one we've taken, just last week-28 weeks.

A visit from my BFF!

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful person in my life who has been my best friend for the past 16 years. Wow! That makes me feel OLD! She lives a little over an hour away so we get to see each other often but in little spurts. A couple weekends ago she and her three darling children came for the weekend. I had so much fun staying up late (for me) and watching movies and talking. Palmer had a lot of fun playing with the kids. I hope we get together again soon! Love you Beth!
