chillin in the back yard listening to her ipod
eating breakfast together.. one of their new favorite things
korb and bex 'playing' the piano. how cute are they!
we saw jimmy buffett saturday at pizza hut park.. and it was my 15th show!! so crazy.. i have awesome stories to tell from each one! ...and ive decided to tell a little pc of those stories. more for me than anyone else. SO if you'd like you can just FF to the pics from saturday. theyll be at the end of the post..
let the reminiscing begin.. ok. before you think im a COMPLETE freak..i dont have ticket stubs from EVERY show. but i did find this awesome tour archives site that is a wealth of info!! i just thought i could remember them all before -- then i saw the set lists -- priceless! its mostly the encores and a special, not-so-songs-you-know-by-heart, tune or two thrown in that make the memories flow.
kyle definitely wore a grass skirt all day.. and thats definitely not our cooler he is sitting on?
thanks for sharing your friends and fam CARA!
so sweet!
at a tiki bar..
careful dada!
nice..random..tiki bar owners
a pirate hat..
a monkey? not sure what thats about.
the coolest station wagon ever
and we were off.. to have an awesome time in awesome seats! 
its been quite some time since weve seen blond jammi..but she has resurfaced and i didnt realise how much i had missed her! i did a little background work.. and its definitely the same jammi from
2004 
and 2005
when, btw, everyone seemed a little more blond!
looks like the transition to brunette happened sometime around my class reunion in 2005.
when i was reunited with this super blond!
wait!!! i found one more i want to share...
obviously cropped out of a much larger picture --- but thats a super blond kelly!!! 
summer is here! (....well, it was on friday and according to weather.com its coming back soon) so i say its time to lighten up!
i know.. i know.. some of you are breathing a sigh of relief. and others are SAD! but before anyone gets too excited either way -- i must admit that i was NOT willing to say good bye to those precious curls. mostly i just wanted to get the hair out of his eyes and make some sense of the WAY long parts on top. so saturday he and i went to a kids cut place and took care of business! we are ALL so happy with the results... altho korb wasnt happy with the actual process. imagine that.. korb 'scary' of something. ...he survived. and he looks adorable! his hair is actually curlier than it was before..
trying out all the chairs to find the best fit.
the girl who did the cutting was awesome! 
lets get out of here mom!
still not convinced there's any science here.. but jenny requested in this post that we all give it a try.. so here are team palmer's look alike meters.

its almost that time again.. for my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DAY of the year. last year we bought presale tickets to see buffett in sec d row 20ish at pizza hut park in frisco tx. we paid well over 300.00 bucks for them. ...my brother and sister-in-law bought tix the day of the show on stub hub in sec d row 2 for about half the face value (it could have been more than half..in fact, everytime i recount the story i think the price they paid gets less and less. pretty soon they will have been free)! needless to say we were not happy.. so this year kyle talked me into waiting til now to buy them.. he was right - they are selling for less than face.. but i have been so stressed ALL week about getting the right seats and not paying too much for them. ive ebayed, stub hubbed, craiglisted til i was tired of looking! but all of my research has finally paid off. im excited to say that our one particular harbor this year will be section C row 37! and the winning bid was 152.50 (plus shipping) i love ebay! and i love buffett.. c-ya soon jimmy! i cant wait!
please excuse the macamoni all over his table and the upside-down-sippy-cup. he performs best in the highchair!
im not sure what happened to this week.. but its basically over already! seems crazy.. i think ive just been a day off for some reason, all week.. and that messes with your head. yesterday kennedy came home from school BEGGING for money for the ice cream truck.. which makes its rounds thru our neighborhood on wednesdays. after arguing that i didnt have any cash..i thought to myself..and changed my argument to.. 'wait its not even wednesday!' she said 'YES IT IS!' i said 'no its not. its tuesday..check your panties!' (she has several sets of days of the week panties.. she wears them often.. they dont have to 'match' her outfit if they are the right day, ya know? less work for me when getting her ready in the AM) so she drops her pants.. in the playroom. 'look mom, wednesday. you must have known what day it was this morning!' hate it when shes right! she reminded me that she did not have school on monday.. it was an extra bad weather day they didnt have to use.. so thats probably why im all out of whack on what day it is. she is probably right, again. smarty pants! anyway..i didnt want to miss blogging about a few fun things that have gone on in the last week.
on monday.. kennedy didnt have school. so..she was home with us all day! we really had fun hanging out together. gracy and her fam are on vacation this week, baby james' dad decided to stay home since their older kids were out of school too, and madelyns mom picked her up SUPER early.. it was almost like another day off for me too! kyle went to the rangers game with his boss after work --- so the little k's and i made a date with kelly, ava and nicole. we met them at chick fil a around 6. korb and kennedy played in the playplace FOREVER! he had tons more fun than she did. his allergies and reactive-airway-disorder (which is basically asthma w/o out calling it that) have been OUT-OF-CONTROL this week. kennedy brought him out of the playplace more than once because he was coughing and wheezing but he did not seem to care. such a boy! when she finally decided he had had enough.. such a mom!.. we all decided to take a stroll thru target. now..let me first say..i have been threatened not to post this. but its too cute not to. so ill just have to deal with the consequences. during our stroll..we ended up on the hair accessories aisle. they had the cutest little girl hair clips. i told kelly and cole - that being COMPLETELY anti-bangs for myself and poor kennedy by default - she had LIVED with a clip of some sort in the front of her hair from around her first birthday when her hair started to get in her eyes..until she was, i dunno, probably 4. :) literally. then i spotted this yellow clip with a yellow flower on the end that reminded me of one she used to wear a lot. kelly got out her camera..and..well here's the result. arent they cute! LOVE IT! sorry dada..
and thats it.. a tuesday night stars loss, a wednesday night mavs victory, a 14 inning rangers game and here we are. thursday already! this weekend is supposed to be 'work around the house' weekend. we shall see if that happens................................
ok.. for starters - dont worry.. he's been adequately warned that if he is gonna make ridiculous faces on camera they are going to be posted on the blog! 
im pretty sure this is kyle missing derek..
what a crew..
do you know how hard it is to get a good pic with kyle the silly-face-maker?
not great..but ill take it!
...boards as cool as our cornhole boards?!?! probably not.. consider this a friendly challenge!
on sunday.. my hubby surprised me with a little shopping trip. to where? for what? well..im almost embarrassed to say. but it shows how well he knows me and that makes me very happy so its worth the embarrassment. i have an old friend (or two..) theyve been with me for almost 5 years and they show it! my reefs. i love them. and i dont wanna give them up.
seeing that i am in desperate need of a pedicure..i had to hire a professional footwear model. good thing he works for cheerios! 
and i almost NEVER spend money on myself. so a $40 pair of flip-flops is out of the question. on sunday afternoon kp said, "guess what? (chicken butt) we are going shopping for new reefs today." i said, "that sounds awesome honey..its almost your birthday and you could really use a new pair." he insisted that we would both be getting a new pair. of course i protested. then he told me that he had won a contest at work..an extra $100..and thats what he wanted to do with his extra money. might not sound romantic to most..but it did to me! what a sweetheart! so after two different malls and about 3 hours worth of searching. we both found the perfect pair! now..i cant promise to throw out my old trusties..but we will definitely be seeing a LOT less of them! 
and with the model.. if you need his number let me know! 
thanks honey! i love them.. you are the best!!
