Look at Our Garden Grow

Spring has officially sprung in our house. We decided that we are going to grow a few veggies and herbs this spring. We could only grow a few items on account of limited counter and patio space at our apartment. We are growing bell peppers, jalapenos, snow peas, chives, parsley and cilantro.

Tootsy was very interested in what we were up to.

Had her nose in all the pots

Even the cats wanted to know what we were doing. Hopefully the don't eat the plants, or dig up the soil, OR WORSE pee in the pots!

Spring Visitors

The whole crew at Joe's Crab ShackTrying to make Dan eat crab. (He ordered a Burger.)Black & Reds at BWW (Guinness and Killians)The Boys enjoying the beers and wings. Mike showing off his black and red.

Warren, Sally & Mike all came down to visit us for a few days. Palmer has a really crappy work schedule right now and his days off are Thursday and Sunday. So we decided it would be best if they came down on Wednesday night so that Palmer could we could spend all day Thursday with our visitors.

On Wednesday night we met Dan, Jessica, Ronn and Tonya at Joe's Crab Shack. Joe's Crab Shack has become one of our favorite places to take people when they come and visit us. We LOVE it there. On Thursday morning, Palmer took everyone to the Pancake House. The breakfast there is absolutely amazing. I had to stay home and finish some online homework, but Palmer was nice enough to bring me some bacon pancakes. After breakfast, we went to Sunset Park so that we could show Warren and Sally the frisbee golf course. We also wanted to all get out in the awesome weather. Its been in the mid 80's here lately. Tootsy loves Sunset Park she runs all over and eats sticks, rock, pine cones or anything else she can find. Boozie (Warren's Dog) was not as excited about the big city, not even in the park.

Later that evening we went to Buffalo Wild Wings, Palmer's favorite restaurant. Mike and Palmer had conquered the Buffalo Wing Challenge a few months ago and wanted to show off their winning photos that are posted on the wall there. And they of course wanted to enjoy some of the tall beers during happy hour. After dinner we went back to our apartment to watch Gran Trino.

This morning Warren, Sally and Mike had to go back home. We had an awesome time and got to eat the greatest food (and beer) the last two days. I'm sure Boozie is happy to be going back but we wish their trip wouldn't have gone by so quickly. Tootsy has been moping around by the door since they left.

We Celebrated Early

Palmer and I both LOVE St. Patrick's Day. (Who doesn't?) This year we celebrated it a little early because it fell on Tuesday, which does not really work for me or Palmer with our busy schedules. Thanks to David we were able to have our St. Patty's Day on the Saturday before.

Spring break?

Last week I had 4 midterms, so I spent the entire week trying to balance out studying for each one and still doing assignments, ect. This is my third semester at UNLV and usually midterms are survivable because Spring Break follows right after them. So you work your tail off but then get a nice long break. This semester UNLV has decided to try and kill all its students by making spring break 3 weeks after midterms! WTF? UNLV spring semester started Jan. 12, why the hell is spring break so far away? At UNR and TMCC its next week! Why cant all the Nevada schools be one the same schedule? Does this sound completely ludicrous to anyone else?

First Diaper Cake!

Yesterday, I was hope sick crippled with the flu or some kind of bug. So today I was home recuperating from it. I decided to finally make a diaper cake for Calen and Mary's baby girl, Caitlin that is arriving in April. I am going to Hawthorne next weekend so I needed to get it down before than so that I could take it to them. I'm quite proud of the diaper cake it being my first one and all. I had to call Palmer's sister, Viv, a few times to get some tips, but I finally got it right. Thanks Viv!!!

Halfway there

I made this widget at MyFlashFetish.com.
On Valentine's Day I officially turned 20 1/2, which means I now have less than 6 months until my 21st Birthday! Wahoo!

Palmer Trying New 'Dos

Last week Palmer decided to cut off his cruly locks, (well to have me cut it.)He had been growing it out since October. But before I shaved his head we tried a few other hairstyles...

Here's the mohawk without any styling glue, it was more like a horse's mane.

He looked a lot like an Indian.

Mean Face

Now I just need to talk him into getting rid of the goatee... Feel free to leave a comment telling him he looks better without it:)
