Hogle Zoo

We went to the Zoo on Friday with Amy and the girls.  I had the day off and it wasn't supposed to get really hot so we thought it would be a good day to go.  

We were loading up the car and I put my hat on Carter...it looked so funny

Annual Palmer Family Cabin Trip

We headed to the cabin for our annual trip.  It was Carter's first trip to the cabin.  We had a great time.  Carter did come down with some type of bug and had some stomach issues.  Things worked out though, luckily I packed enough clothes to get us through.

We did a lot of boating...Carter was a good sport about wearing his life jacket.

Dede had to pee...but she has to take her bottoms off to do it. :-)

We also just hung out at the cabin, played hair salon, ate, played games, watched movies..oh and did go for a hike (walk) on Sunday

The bald boys

6 Months Old

Carter is growing up so fast!  He loves his bouncer and will just jump and squeal for hours...it seems like.  He is eating peaches, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes and avocados.  So far his favorite are the peaches.

He is starting to recognize people and their voices.  He loves his dad and gets so excited to see him.  He also really likes all of his cousins.

He never holds still, he is constantly kicking and now he has started this new thing that he will hold his bottle with one hand, while the other hand is moving back and forth..hitting me in the face every time.  He weighs 17 pounds 14 ounces and is 28.8 inches long.  He is in the 60th percentile for weight, and 99th for height.

We fall in love with this little boy over and over again every day!  He has brought us such joy to our lives, I have no idea what we EVER did without him!

Carter turned 6 months old on August 1st so we decided to celebrate with his first hair cut.  We were going to try and wait until her turned 1 but his hair was getting out of control.  He had a bad bald spot and wings which created the comb over look, so we gave up and decided to do it.  I was sad, but made it through.
Kari thought Isaac needed to be "trimmed" up some so we did it together.

Here are a few before shots..

Crazy hair! 

I couldn't resist.  I had to put it in a pony tail. 

The cute boys before the haircuts...

Chewing on Dad's finger helped so he would hold still

We needed some extra hands at one point

Isaac's turn...look at all that hair :)

And..he is done. 

The cute boys after! They are so hot and they love Gma

We will miss you Grandma Carrie!

Grandma Carrie passed away this morning and we are sure going to miss her!  She was an awesome person and so fun to be around.  She loved babies and the babies loved her!  She always said the funniest things and I am so glad that Carter got to meet her.  I am so glad she moved back to Grantsville when she did so that we could be closer to her.  We love you Grandma and will miss you very much!
