I have been the worst blogger

I have not blogged about anything!! So I am just going to start right now.

We have this really cute elf, named Evie. She only comes after Thanksgiving and she leaves with Santa when he comes Christmas Eve. She will also leave if the kids are being bad. So my kids were pretty good for the month of Dec.

Well Evie was up to some pretty crazy tricks this year. She moved every night and the kids were so excited to go see what she did every morning. She did some really crazy things, but to spare you here is just a few of the fun things she did.

 Bruce just loved holding her.

 It was so much more fun this year having Evie do things instead of just hiding. The kids thought she was so funny playing with toilet paper, watching them sleep, turning the milk chocolate, playing with there toys, and many different things. 

Hooray to the New Year

Happy New Year

This is how we told our parents that we are having another baby!!!

sick little girl

Dylann has been so sick for over a week now.

That is the longest she has ever been sick. We finally took her to the dr. on Thursday.

She would not stop throwing up and we were getting really worried about her.

They put her on some anti nausea meds, which worked perfect. They said if she were to throw up one more time, we would have to take her back to be put on an IV drip. Thank goodness she didn't. She started to get a little better. Even eating for the first time in a week.

(like the throw up bucket?)

 Well Sunday morning we woke up to this.

 She had a horrible allergic reaction to the meds. By Sunday afternoon it looked like this

 Sorry for the bum shot

It only got worse, It was basically all over her body

There was more rash then there was skin.

We took her to urgent care on Sunday night, They put her on a different med to make it all go away.

Well we are on it now for 3 days and it is so much better.

The rash is almost all gone, it is mostly on her legs and arms now.

Now if she can only stop itching we will be set. 

New Beds/Crazy sleepers

We all got new beds!! Yea I know crazy right. Well let me tell you, it was so needed. Our mattress was so super old, we had a little help from family. Dylann was growing out of her bed and Bruce needed a big boy bed. So we took a drive down to Ikea, my favorite store, and got us a new bed frame that we have wanted for a couple of years. We LOVE it.

The first night this is what we found when we came up to go to bed.

 My in laws bought the kids new bed frames. Danny was so good and put all the beds together by himself.

with a little bit of help...

Dylann showing off her new bed, she loves it and can't wait to sleep in it every night. So Danny and I tease her and tell her we are sleeping in her bed. She just laughs and climbs up on us. My mom was so amazing and bought Dylanns mattress.

 This was the first night with both beds, and this is how we found both of the kids.

The next night Bruce figured out that he can get out of bed now and he can just waited for us at the top of the stairs and he fell asleep. It was really cute to find him like this.

The very next night he really wanted to be comfortable. So he brought out his blanket and frog.

A different night, Wow my kids really don't know how to sleep

After putting Bruce back into bed.

I am so grateful for my family, Thank you so much for all your help and for all your support. I am so glad that I get to spend all my time with my 2 crazy kids. Can't wait to see how they are sleeping tonight

Dylanns first day of preschool

Dylanns first day of preschool was Sept 12. She couldn't wait. She has been talking about preschool all summer and was so excited. I was really excited for her but deep down I was praying she would be happy and love it. I was worried that she was going to have a major freak out, or pee her pants, or hate it. Well she was totally fine.

They have this drop off line, they just come to the car and take your kid out and walk them to class. Danny came with us for the first day, Dylann got out of the car like it wasn't a big deal at all. She said by and walked right in. I started bawling the moment we starting driving. I made Danny take another drive by to make sure she made it in ok.

She was so happy, she asks if we can go to school every day. I am so glad she loves it. When I pick her up, I ask her what she did and the first thing she says is 'we didn't paint, we didn't go out side' they don't go out if its raining. But I guess she really wants to paint bc it is an everyday thing. She is to funny.

Love you Dylann I am so proud of you!!

Cosi

Over Labor day we went to Cosi, its this awesome science hands on museum, for kids. This is the first time we went and it was so worth it. We had so much fun. Dylann was running all over the place she couldn't wait to get to the next thing. Bruce was just in shock at everything.

We had so much fun. We will have to go back.

What we have been up to

I haven't had a real post for a long time. There has been so many things going on in the Palmer house hold. I wont bore you with a million pictures. So I will just so you a couple so you can see what we have been up too.

We went up to Michigan for a week. It was so great. I went up with my 2 sisters and all of our kids, there is 8 kids between the 3 of us. My aunt lives up there and has a pool so we spent some days at the pool. The kids loved it!!

Of course we spent all the rest of the time at the beach, and Dylann couldn't be happier. She was so happy to play in the sand, but ask her to go into the water, no way.

I finally got around to giving Bruce a hair cut. He was sporting a mullet for awhile. Now he has a cute little fohawk.

 Another thing we have been up to is lots and lots of bubbles. We have gone through tons of bottles of bubbles. They can't get enough of it.

 We also go to the zoo a lot. Even though it has been so HOT, we still go. We have to get out of the house. One thing that was totally awesome the last time we went they had flamingos out so people could pet. They were so cool. They were so nice. Dylann thought it was the best thing ever. Now all she wants to see is the flamingos.

 We have been very busy. With lots of summer cleaning, instead of spring cleaning. Dylann is starting preschool soon. She can't wait for the school bus to take her. The school bus isn't taking her, its what makes her happy. Life is crazy but we love it!!
