So, we all know that I am obsessed with the weather...I can just say the past few weeks have been very good weeks around the Palmer house!! It has been so nice to take walks and enjoy all that nature has to offer, to take the kids to the park, to teach Logan how to ride on 2 wheels (really did not have to teach him, he just did it), watch the big boys play soccer, listening to Carter laugh each time I swing him higher at the park, to walk with my husband and just talk and be with each other as the boys are with us riding their bikes. There is just something about warm weather, flowers, leaves on trees, birds singing that just makes me feel so alive and good.
It has been a long time since my last post and not much has changed and I can say I am happy about that. Love all my boys and the time I get to spend with them, I am so thankful that I am the mom of Michael, Logan and Carter. This past week I have been thinking about life and how wonderful it begins. Carter is almost 1 year and I am happy and a little sad. He has accomplished so much his first year being here with us and I can't wait for all the other accomplishments yet to come, but at the same time I am sad to see his dependence on me change each day. I love taking care of him, holding him, kissing him, etc...I waited so long for this little man and to think it has already been one year since he came in to our lives is crazy. Some days I find myself just wanting to have more and more babies:)
I have some great pictures of what we have been up to the past few months, but will have to post them later ( I need help from the hubby). But just wanted to let others know and mostly to remind myself of some of the things in life I am most thankful for.

Where has all the time gone??
WOW...it has been a long time since I have updated my blog...hence the title. But the title is not just a reflection on recent time!!
March is always an exciting month for me. First and foremost it is our anniversary month and on March 6th Jared and I just celebrated our 10 yr anniversary....where has the 10 years gone? They were at BYU, in Charleston for Dental School, busy having 3 boys, moving to Canada and starting practices for dentistry. We both have accomplished much together the past 10 years and even though we have been busy, it seems like just a few months ago that we meet, feel in love, and got married...I guess that is when you know you have a good marriage. I am sooooo thankful to have met Jared and married him. He is the best husband and father!! I feel we have both taught each other lots and have meshed together a great life for us and our boys.
Secondly the month of March is also my birth month. I normally like my birthdays, but they are not that fun anymore...I am sorry to admit my vanity, but I hate getting old. I know hate is a strong word, but I really do hate it!!! I will be turning 35 yrs old on March 17th. It is also a time of reflection for what I have accomplished thus far in my life and time that I like to set some goals for what I still would like to accomplish. Again, it seems like yesterday I was just walking the halls of Escondido high school with my best friends and attending dances...but yet is has been almost 20 yrs!! I am thankful for my life and especially for my family and for the church for all they have taught me and all they continue to teach me....here is too another healthy, happy, joyful 35 yrs!!
And lastly regarding time, my little baby is 9 months old and I really want this time to slow way down. I just love my little baby and I cannot believe he has been out in this world for as much time and he grew inside me. I am a little sad at how fast it is going. Carter just learned how to crawl and he is pretty proud of himself. I will have Jared video and post...it is actually pretty funny the way he crawls...I am just glad he finally learned, he was getting pretty frustrated while learning and therefore was very fussy. He is a big boy, he weights 21 lbs (Logan did not weight that until about 2 1/2). He is not overly fat or roley, just really solid. He is still a happy baby and the big boys love to make him laugh and are very sweet with him. Who knows, maybe a miracle will happen and we will be blessed with one more??
All the other boys (daddy, Michael, and Logan) are doing very well. Jared very happy at work and so happy he decided we finally needed to get a boat...so we are now the proud owners of a brand new ski boat...cannot wait for the summer!!! Michael and Logan doing well in school and gymnastics and just registered them in soccer for the spring, they are pretty excited about trying something new.
So...that is were all the time has gone. I know I am bad at updating, but life with 3 boys, church callings, and friends, makes life busy!!

Where does the time go...it seems like I just posted an update and it has already almost been a month. I have neglected to send pictures the last few blogs because I am computer challenged and I have to wait for Jared to help me. I just went to the movie Benjamin Button with a few of my girlfriends and it really made me think about life and how we live it and how we treat the ones we love. I am definitely glad we are born young and that we learn and grow and then get older. For me the movie did put a different perspective on how we spend time with the ones we love and I am so thankful that I have the knowledge that when I die, I will still be connected and have the opportunity to live with them forever!!
I usually try not to set New Year resolutions because for me I am always trying to be better at something, but this year I really want to grow more spiritually and with that I have many things I will be working on. I have been not the most consistent with holding F.H.E., I feel like it is such a struggle with little kids, but I know that even if it only lasts for a few minutes...it is still better than nothing.
Read my scriptures or words from the Prophets at least once a day!
Our ward split for the 4th time since I moved here not even 4 years ago...I know, pretty crazy. I received a calling in the YW and am an advisor and camp director...I am so excited to be working with the youth. I have been praying for a few years now to work with the youth ( I think 12 yrs in primary is long enough for now:)) When I was a young women I only worked to get my personal progress award when I was a beehive and now as a leader I can work on it again and this time finish it. So, this year I will be working along side the YM women to receive mine as well. I hope that I can set a good example and finish this time:) I loved the youth program when I was a youth, I enjoyed camp, youth conference, mutual, dances, etc... Even though I struggled sometimes, I always remembered what I learned as a youth and many of those experiences have helped shaped who I am today. I am just so excited and thankful for the opportunity that I have to serve.
That is enough resolutions for me...as for the rest of the family, all is well. Carter grows every day and I am a little sad he is already 7 months, I have to cherish every day with him as a baby since he is my last. Michael and Logan just busy boys that keep me on my toes. Jared's practice is growing and he just about to buy another practice...like he was not busy enough. We are all healthy, happy, and grateful for all that we have been blessed with.
