The Palmer Tale: April 2014

Being a photographer and having a little girl growing so fast, I feel like I need new family pictures all the time :) Let's just say, Kanyin is getting really good at getting her picture taken.
Our friends the Wrights, came to visit us while we were in St. George for a rotation. I took some family pics for them. You can see them here. They were so kind, and took some for us as well and I absolutely love them! I will always cherish them.

Kanyin's not liking this kissing idea

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever?!?

Here are a few pictures from our adventures with the Wrights. Thanks for coming to see us! We really did love our time in St. George. It was so warm! We met some really neat people, and got to spend some time with my uncle Randell and his family. They own The Painted Pony (fine dining restaurant) and Georges Restaurant. If you are ever in St. George you will need to stop by and get some of the best food!

Yup..there are three kids on that stroller.

We lived right next to the temple, so we would go to the visitors center often.

Southern Utah has lots of nuts trees. We collected nuts where ever we went and then stayed up late trying to crack them.

We went on a pretty awesome hike.

Wednesday nights while at BYU-Idaho you would often find Shawn and I country dancing. Hey, it was one dollar for a married couple to get in and we are both country music fans...why not?! We always had so much fun (except for the time he elbowed me in the nose by accident). Shawn has these ideas that we are a true cowboy and cowgirl. His theme song is "Should've been a cowboy!" Along with Shawn being a cowboy comes the true country dancing, of the cowboy swinging his girl up and down and around. Sometimes I am taken by surprise when the dancin cowboy Shawn comes out.

While we were taking family photos with our friends the Wrights, the dancin cowboy Shawn came out, and I am grateful Heather had the camera, so I can always remember these exciting times. I basically just hold on for dear life, even though he assures me every time that he will not drop me. So kind huh? :)
Even though Shawn has his crazy times, I cannot express how grateful I am for him. Everyday I feel so lucky to have the marriage I do. It is not easy, we have our rough patches but you have to go through the rough to know happiness. He is extremely patient with me which helps me to be a better person. I love my hardworking, perfect dad, faithful cowboy :)
