The new vehicle



Yes thats right the Palmers purchased another vehicle. Some of you may think Riley is too young for a car since he doesn't have a license yet or anything but Nolan and I couldn't resist. :) Thank goodness this one is a tenth the size of a REAL vehicle and a fiftyth of the price.


We found this cute walker Jeep Renegade online and had to get it. Riley loves it. He pretty much loves anything with moving parts. It so fun watching him put on his serious face when he's trying to figure out how things work. Man my lil' man is growing up so fast!!!


This is my happy big boy! I just can't wait til he learns how to get speed in this because it will be quite the site seeing him chase after our furry family members.
I was trying to teach him how to drive stick. This is his serious face. I love it!!!


We are now officially "farmers"
Like every spring Nolan and I planted our garden for the year. We are so excited to grow our own plants. For Christmas my parents gave us these awesome garden boxes that not only look nice but also keep the plants watered. Above is a picture of our watermelon plant planted from seed. yay!!!
Here is our red leaf lettuce. Wow if you can't garden attempt lettuce because it almost always grows and you'll use it for sure all the time.
Here is the whole garden box. We have lettuce, green beans, bell peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, corn, jalepanos, tomatoes, strawberries, and spinach all growing within our two boxes. Wish us luck!

Spring Break at the Phoenix Zoo!

Nolan and I aren't currently in school but since it was Spring break and his brother was in town, the family decided to take a fun filled trip down to the Phoenix Zoo.
This is how Riley spent most of his first trip to the zoo. He just napped away for a majority of the adventure. And yes he is wearing a skipper hat but there aren't many cute hat options for baby boys and since this lil' bear is fair skinned that hat was a must!
This is Adilyn ( our neice) and me by the monkeys.



This is Nolan by the monkeys. For some reason the monkeys seem to be our families favorite animals.... Who knows... I think if I'd let him Nolan would want a monkey of his own. He said the monkey could sit atop Fudges(our dog) back.
All in all it was a wonderful day filled with our furry friends and fun family. Hopefully next trip Riley will be able to stay awake ;)
