Key West, FL
Aaron and I just got back last weekend from Key West. He was a top producer for Compass Bank for 08' so we got an all expense paid trip. This included everything!!! We had a blast! Aaron's parents, Preston and Jody, came down from KY and watched the kids for us. So, it was a win win for everyone. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Our Favorite Super Bowl Commercial
Since it has been so long since we blogged....We wanted to make it worth it!!!! Thankfully Palmer is okay and we decided to share it with you only after we made sure that he was okay! Natalie loves to watch this! What makes it so funny is Palmer was loving the little boy (his reflection) that was playing with him. He had already been trying to scare him by running up to the window and saying, "whoa" and then running away giggling. I think he wanted to see how fast he could run!!! It was too cute watching him play, but unfortunately it didn't end so well! But, he is okay and one day he will love this. Not until the big knot leaves though.

Christmas Day
We had a great Christmas. It feels like our first one with the kids. They both loved opening presents and playing with all the toys all day. I think Natalie managed to play with every toy within the 13 hours she was awake (no nap, of course). Natalie and Palmer loved every second of it. Santa brought everything Natalie asked for and more! Palmer was so overwhelmed, but the highlight of his Christmas was when Momaw and Dolan showed up with a coupe car and he decided that he wasn't sharing and instead of opening the door and climbing in, he pulled the ol' Dukes of Hazard move on her and dove in through the window before she knew what happened. (He is a fast learner) He took a 4 hour nap after that! It is really neat seeing the kids learn about Christmas. We were really struggling with how to incorporate both secular and christian traditions into their Christmas, but by the time our advent had ended baby Jesus (in the nativity) had received a treasure chest full of treasure from a polly pocket toy and Natalie and her best friend Ellery blew out candles on a Happy Birthday, Jesus cake. So, at least they have heard the good news! I now know why my mom always said, "Don't get me anything, my present is watching you have fun!" This was the best Christmas so far and Aaron and I didn't open one gift from each other.

Palmer Palooza
We were looking over our blog and realized that we don't have any of Palmer P since he was itty bitty. So, here is Palmer!
Here is Natalie and Palmer dancing to Aaron's version of Beauty and the Beast. This is Natalie's favorite thing to do and her favorite movie to watch. Palmer is actually participating with her and not trying to knock her down so that is why I didn't worry about him only being in a diaper! He's still a baby anyway!!!

Natalie's first ballet class
Natalie had her first ballet class on Monday! It was too cute!!! She did really good for the most part, but as you can see in the video she spotted me through the supposedly one way mirror. So much for that! After pouting for about 5 minutes and her best friend Ellery trying to comfort her, she finally walked slowly back into the group and finished the class strong! Now, she wears her ballet outfit all over the house and she loves to twirl and stand on her toes. Palmer tried to go to class with her and she shouted, "No baby, this class is for big girls." He wasn't too happy, but sat outside the window and cheered her on.

Princess Natalie
Wow! It has been a while since we last posted! Palmer is a walker and Natalie is a little princess. I learned from a friend how to put slideshows on our blog and so I tested it out. Natalie was a good subject. She sat on the couch in her new ballerina dress (that she refused to take off... so she wore it to church on Sunday and also all day on Monday) and I snapped away experimenting with my camera. It was lots of fun. Palmer...your next little man!!! Hope you all enjoy!

Natalie's 2nd Birthday Party
natalie watercoloring
This is one of Natalie's new favorite things to do and that's watercoloring. I guess she's trying to follow in the footsteps of her nona!

Halloween 07
Here are a few pictures of our Halloween this year, we dressed Natalie as Raggedy Ann (she wouldn't ever wear the hat that had her hair) and Palmer was a Teddy Bear, both Michelle's idea.
These are the pumkins we carved this year, I did the one on the left and Michelle did the one on the right

These two are Natalie in her "pre-game" mode before she went to rake in on her loot


Here's Palmer with my cousin Lindsay, we trick-or-treated at her house in Atlanta along with Stuart's family

Here's Palmer's "post-game" routine

Here's a short video of Natalie and Daniella trick or treating, I love what she says at the end!

my new toy
Okay, so I usually give Michelle a hard time that she spends about $100 every other day on kids clothes (and her own clothes, don't let her fool you!), but I guess since I went out and impulse bought a grand piano I have no room to talk or complain, at least for a short time. I will be back believe you me complaining about Michelle blowing our money! At any rate it should be a fun toy to have for a while!

Natalie showing her skills!
This is a great video of Natalie showing how she's mastered the big slide! We felt bad because we laughed so hard watching this thing over and over! She was okay of course, well, we think.

ping pong natalie
Here's a short video of Natalie picking up ping-pong, she's definitely good enough to beat Nate already. It's not that Natalie is that good, it's that Nate is just that bad. More videos to come!
Natalie being the big sister
I thought this was a cute example of how Natalie tries to be a big helper! Also I need to say congratulations to our good friends Adam and Jessica Sloan on the birth of their child on July 2nd, they had a boy they named Jackson Sloan! We're so excited for them!

Palmer and Melanie
Last night Palmer got the distinct pleasure to meet for the first time one of our best friends, Melanie Curtis from Chatanooga. She was in town for a teachers conference so we met her at the hotel she was staying at and helped her enjoy their happy hour, at least I did! I promise to put more videos up, I've been having some computer difficulties with my real player, I'll try to get it worked out and get some up over the weekend. Here are a few pictues of us and Melanie.

natalie playing on the couch
I'm sorry I haven't posted recently, I promise to get more stuff up more often, ideally I'd like to get one post up per day, we'll see how that goes. Also, anybody is welcome to come see us or stay with us anytime, we would love the company as it's a little more difficult to get out of town now as often as we did with Natalie when she was born. We have two extra bedrooms we can use, 3 if you ask Natalie to give up her room, just give her a cookie and she'll more than likely make the trade. She thinks short term for sure! So come and see us!! Congratulations also to my cousin Ashley who had her 2nd baby last night Alaina, 9 pounds 3 ounces. I'll put a picture of her up as soon as she has the time to email me one. Way to go Ashley! This is a cute video of Natalie, she's learned the words uh-oh, it's so cute when she says it!

Natalie sliding
I know I haven't posted much lately, in fact this video doesn't have Palmer in it either, I'll try to get going better on that. Also I know there's been some difficulty with some of the videos not playing and saying that they're unavailable. If anyone knows why my this is happening and knows how to fix it I would appreciate the help.

Big shoes to fill
We all realize now what big shoes Natalie has to fill as the big sister! The good thing is that she insists on wearing them! She'll grow into them eventually I guess...well, probably not these ones. I'm uploading some videos now so I should have them up by tonight or tomorrow. Let me know if your still visiting!

Natalie excited about Palmer video
This video is the most recent of Natalie getting excited about having baby Palmer around!
Natalie's roller coaster
Who says having a steep driveway is a bad thing? Oh yeah except when you're trying to get out with a car. But other than that it makes for great ride opportunities for little ones!

Natalie's parenting skills at work
Natalie may need some more practice before she gets to be in charge of Palmer by herself!
Natalie and her makeup
Here's a cute video of Natalie playing in Michelle's makeup trying to figure out which shade looks better on her. I guess she's trying to be all grown up now that she's the big sister!
