Man do I love summer!

Tyson came home from church the other day with a "missionary tag" that he wrote Elder Palmer on.  I HAD to get a picture of it. So this is the future Elder Palmer:

 We had our annual swim party my dentist puts on.  We have been to the pool a lot this summer though I'm not going to lie.  Brett finally FINALLY doesn't cry the whole time we are there and sort of enjoys himself.  A switch flipped finally one day when Ty was playing with him and he realized it wasn't so bad.  Thank goodness!  Dr. Boston handed out these sweet sunglasses to us while we were there.


 While my dad was at the National Boy Scout jamboree back east my mom came up a couple of times to see us and my grandparents.  We went to aggie ice cream with them one day.  My grandpa is turning 88 in about a week.  He has had a ruff time with his health for years so I was excited he felt well enough to get some ice cream.  Stockton really loves him.  Maybe it's because he was named Stockton Lowell after him.


 Ok so I'm no professional and I didnt' edit this photo at all but I thought it was cool.  At least you get the idea of what I was trying to do.  My kids just go crazy over the fireworks!  We bought our own arial fireworks this year and invited the neighbor kids over to watch.  One was really cool the other two we got were ok.
 We went to Wyoming for my niece Abby's baptism. Tyson is the next one in the family to be baptized can you believe it? I was laughing at my father in law who fall asleep to my niece Sannette singing to him on the couch. All the Palmers went up for it.  I'm glad we have such a supportive family.  My Pack family is the same way.


 We have been flooding our yard again this year and Brett and Stockton love it like the other boys do.  The one picture is Bretty on the tramp.  He LOVES IT but can't stand up with Stockton is on because Stock won't stop jumping.
 We showed Stock a place where he could stick a old water bottle in a hole in the pipe and have it come out the end.  He did that for at least a half  a hour.

We had a cook out with a few friends and Bryan thought it would be fun to do the donut on the string game for them.  It was a huge hit.  We have fun neighbors. 


Speaking of our water turn and neighbors- 

 We had a mega water fight a couple of weeks ago.  We had kids everywhere!
 Later that same day we drove to Ogden to the Kangaroo zoo jump place with Bryan's sister Becca and her kids for my nieces birthday.

 Brett didn't really get into it but my other kids had a ball.

And last but not least FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY my 7 1/2 year old lost a tooth!  It's about flipping time!! He was opening up a wrapper to throw it in the garbage bucket in my garage (that is also full of diapers) and his tooth flipped off.  He grabbed his mouth and I couldn't figure out what his problem was.  He was like "I think I lost my tooth" really calmly. Sure enough he did! Of course it took me awhile of searching around and in (gross) the diaper bucket and I still couldn't find it.  He was really upset we couldn't find it so we said a prayer and just then Bryan came home.  He looked for all of 10 seconds and picked it up.  Ty made a sign for the tooth fairy that his tooth was in the little pillow we made special for his teeth. He got a two dollar bill covered in fairy dust (glitter).  He was pretty excited about it.
