Halloween 2010

We had so much fun during the month of October. Kambree thought we should all dress up for Halloween. We all had to be characters that she would know. I was Strawberry Shortcake, Kyle was Handy Manny and Kambree, of course was Jessie from Toy Story.



Kambree LOVED the pumpkins. She and dad carved the best Minnie Mouse. She was so excited. We roasted the seeds and Kambree even liked eating the raw pumpkin that they carved out.



We went to the pumpkin patch too. It was so fun. There were animals and lots of things to do for the kids. She had such a fun time. We are really enjoying this season as a family. Kambree has been so much fun. We love being together and enjoying each other. We are looking forward to a busy November and then we're into Christmas. It will be so fun!

Dog Days of Summer

Well I almost didn't get my September post done in time. September seemed to have slipped by from us. We are loving our new home in Oregon. The weather has been great and we are starting to find our way around.

We found a great church. Kambree loves going to hear stories of Jesus and eating snacks...of course she does!

Kambree has signed up for gymnastics. She will go through October. So far she LOVES it. She jumps, runs, and does summersaults. Her favorite is jumping on the long trampoline. This is a picture from her first day.

It's been fun for her to be with other kids and get out of the house.











Her favorite thing right now is Toy Story. Buzz is her best friend. They have tons of girl-time fun together. She dresses him in princess dresses and jewlery. She also loves Woody and Jesse but Buzz is her #1. For Halloween she will be Jessie so check back for pictures. She thinks Kyle should be Buzz but I don't know if that will happen! The only problem is that it is VERY hard to find Buzz Lightyear stuff for girls! Thanks to everyone who has sent stuff to her :)













We have also been doing lots of cooking. Kambree loves helping in the kitchen and she does a really good job. Some of our favorites to cook are pizza, rice krispie treats, spaghetti, and mac & cheese!

Kambree and Kyle make breakfast every morning. This girl can still eat more than me. She loves pancakes and eats 2-3 at a time.

We took Kambree on an Oregon Roadtrip to the coast. We went to Newport. The day was sunny and nice. We went to the aquarium, the beach, and then had dinner at Mo's right on the water. It was a very fun day.

A Palmer Family Update

Kambree Turns 2!

Well I guess my New Year's Resolution to update my blog every month went out the window in April with my last post! I am going to try very hard to stay on top of it now that we are not in Montana any more.

So.....what has been going on? We moved to Oregon!

Kyle took a position coaching at Pacific University in Forest Grove Oregon. We have been here for 1 week. We are all unpacked and settled. Now we are looking forward to exploring our new home. I am excited about the weather and how much there is to do. In just 1 week we have visited the coast, the cheese factory, the Japanese gardens and had 2 birthday parties.

Our dear friend and great photographer took Kambree's 2 year photos.

Just before we left Butte we celebrated Kambree's birthday. Here are some pictures....

She had a wonderful time with all her family. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us. She is such a fun little girl. We are so lucky to have her.

Off to Oregon!

We left the weekend after all the birthday parties for Oregon. We have really been enjoying our time. I think we are going to like it as long as our friends and family agree to come visit us! This is what we have been up to....

She loved the slide @ Rose Garden Park

Kambree thought the beach was a 'big sand box'

What is better than ice cream @ the Tillamook Factory?

Easter Morning

Kambree had a fun Easter morning. She loved finding eggs and stuffing as many jelly beans in her mouth as possible. We had a quiet day but it was very nice.

Florida Trip

For Kyle's birthday Kambree and I treated him to a trip to Orlando. We had a blast. It was the first surprise that I have actually been able to pull off. We had a short trip and both decided that we will definitely go back. We started from Boise and then flew to Orlando. We packed as much as we could into our 3 day visit. We hit Sea World and my favorite part was the flamingos. Kyle road a 'scary' rollercoaster (that is according to Kambree). Kambree loved petting the manta rays. Well ok, she loved the thought of petting them. She would laugh an squeal but when one would pull it's face out of the water to beg her for food, she did not like that so much.

Of course we could not go without seeing the Magic Kingdom. Kambree had such a fun time there! She saw almost every character and got pictures with them all. Her favorite ride was Dumbo but really she was happy with all of them that we went on. She loved looking at everything and all the characters. She really didn't know Disney characters before we went but by the end of the day she could pick them out no problem. Her favorites are Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse. We walked into the room to see Mickey, not knowing that Minnie would be there too. When she saw Minnie she gasped and said 'Minnie'! Such a cutie. When she got to meet Donald she was in love. She hugged and kissed him and didn't want anything to do with Goofy who was standing on the other side of her. Actually, when Goofy tried to get her attention, she punched him in the nose!
We did manage to squeeze in 1 day at the beach. We drove to Cocoa Beach and it was just beautiful. Kambree loved chasing the sea gulls all over the place. Of course that made everyone else happy because she was keeping them away from them! Once she tired of that she tried putting all the sand back into the ocean. I enjoyed the beach too because I met up with a dear friend from Ohio. It was nice to catch up in person.

At Sea World Kambree loved the fish and the birds. She could've spent all day just watching them. She wasn't very interested in the shows but the animals were very fun.

Kambree proved herself to be a very good traveler. With no major melt downs we have decided that we can travel with her all the time. I am just thankful for the portable DVD player and the 1 Elmo movie that we had. Who knew a child could watch the very same 50 minute video 118 times in a week? Now that we have been home Kambree tells stories about her trip. It is so funny to listen to her mix words with hand signs to try to tell us about giving Mickey a high five or the flying Dumbo. What a crack up!

February Fun

We have been enjoying the snow in Butte America. While I would love sun and tropical weather we have been playing as much as we can. Kambree likes the snow but only until her hands get cold.








She and dad built a snowman. Well, ok, dad built the snowman while Kambree tried to eat his eyes which were made with hershey kisses.

Kambree has also been enjoying time with one of her new friends, Jared. They do get to spend lots of time together at swimming lessons and any other time Jared's mom and I can get together.

Mostly Kambree is just having fun every day. She has been having 'lunch' with her friends, clean with mom, play dress-up, and just be her silly little self. This has been a very quick few months back in Montana for us. We are looking forward to seeing what God has planned for us this next year. We are always so surprised that we don't even try to
guess any more! Whatever happens, we will continue to keep you updated.
