He is a Havanese that will weigh about 11 lbs when full grown.  He does not shead and he is a healthy bread that likes to please his master.  He is also very smart and easy to train.  He is already potty trained and goes to the bathroom out side.  Right now he weighs about 3 lbs, and eats 3 tablespoons of dog food a day.

She did an amazing job of creating a true Italian pizza, and shared the recipe.  Tonight for FHE we thought it would be fun to take paije’s creation and make the pizza for dinner.  If you have ever been to Italy and ate at a pizzeria, then you will love this pizza.  It is the real Italian pizza, just like I remember when I was in Italy.  The pizza is easy to make and so yummy!!  Here are some pics of our amazing dinner.  Thanks again Paije, you are a genius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SOrG1r0KymI/AAAAAAAAAPY/fGm8Lu6unO4/s1600-h/IMG_0609.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SOrG1r0KymI/AAAAAAAAAPY/fGm8Lu6unO4/s320/IMG_0609.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254230540878006882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ready for the Oven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SOrGmCh2PII/AAAAAAAAAPQ/4K47rf-pGoY/s1600-h/IMG_0610.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SOrGmCh2PII/AAAAAAAAAPQ/4K47rf-pGoY/s320/IMG_0610.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254230272097270914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final Product.

I also highlighted in green what is key to the pizza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sauce:(and it makes a ton) enough for several pizzas&lt;br /&gt;35 oz. can of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;San Marzano tomatoes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (whole or crushed- mine were whole so I put them in the food processor and pulsed)&lt;br /&gt;2 large pinches of sugar (maybe 1-2 Tablespoons)&lt;br /&gt;Several shakes of onion powder (not onion salt) equal to maybe 1 Tablespoon?&lt;br /&gt;Salt, about 2 teaspoons&lt;br /&gt;2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil&lt;br /&gt;******Taste your sauce, if it's not good before cooking, it won't be good after! Let this mixture sit for about an hour (if you can wait) I couldn't. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crust:(and this is exact) makes (1) 12" crust&lt;br /&gt;2 and 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast (or one packet)&lt;br /&gt;1/4 tsp. sugar&lt;br /&gt;3/4 c. of 110 degree water&lt;br /&gt;1 and 3/4 c.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt; tipo "00" flour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (this is a specialty flour I bought in a Seattle Italian market) it is a very fine flour --you could try all purpose though and see what happens&lt;br /&gt;1/2 t. salt&lt;br /&gt;**Dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let sit for 8 min.&lt;br /&gt;-in separate bowl; combine flour and salt&lt;br /&gt;-Pour flour mixture into yeast/water mixture and mix in kitchenaid on med. speed for about 4 min or so&lt;br /&gt;-Use dough immediately, no need to rise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Press dough into 12" circle ( I did this directly in my pizza peel, but you could put it in a greased pizza pan) If you use a peel, be sure to put cornmeal or semolina flour on peel first so you can slide it into the oven. Spread sauce on dough and top with slices of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;FRESH mozzerella &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(yes there's a big difference) and &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;fresh basil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. (the basil can also be put on after cooking) I had my pizza stone heating in a 550 degree oven for several minutes before I slid the pizza onto it. Bake for about 8-10 minutes and enjoy!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-6490596670809569121?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/6490596670809569121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=6490596670809569121' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/6490596670809569121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/6490596670809569121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/10/pizza-night.html' title='Pizza Night'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SOrG1r0KymI/AAAAAAAAAPY/fGm8Lu6unO4/s72-c/IMG_0609.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-581131368465365768</id><published>2008-09-24T14:11:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T14:12:30.065-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to School</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SNqtK5qCP8I/AAAAAAAAAOM/4elvFEsTsjU/s1600-h/UWT_logo.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SNqtK5qCP8I/AAAAAAAAAOM/4elvFEsTsjU/s320/UWT_logo.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249698718441160642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it is official Zac has quit his job and is in school full time at the University of Washington.  Today was his first day back to school since he finished his associate’s degree last spring.  He has a lofty goal of finishing his bachelor degree next fall.  I know he can do it, he is so smart and a really hard worker.  I am so proud of him for making the decision to go back to school.  I know his choice will help our family.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something funny Zac and I were talking last night.  He said going back to school kind of reminds me of going back to elementary school.  He was getting all of his books together so he could leave early to catch the bus.  Yes Zac is helping us out by taking the bus.  However the bus should be nice for him, because it will give him a nice head start on reading all of those large college books.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-581131368465365768?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/581131368465365768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=581131368465365768' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/581131368465365768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/581131368465365768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/09/back-to-school.html' title='Back to School'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SNqtK5qCP8I/AAAAAAAAAOM/4elvFEsTsjU/s72-c/UWT_logo.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-7779485864595343150</id><published>2008-09-11T19:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T19:09:11.006-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cougar Weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SMnPM-du6EI/AAAAAAAAAN8/Wv1I_rPRpvM/s1600-h/366-SPT0907_UW_P1_highlight_prod_affiliate_5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SMnPM-du6EI/AAAAAAAAAN8/Wv1I_rPRpvM/s320/366-SPT0907_UW_P1_highlight_prod_affiliate_5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244951062882740290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone that knows my family knows that we are huge BYU Cougar fans.  When I married Zac one of my stipulations was.  When it is football season we have to get the games on cable so that I can watch them.  Well this year was my lucky year.  BYU was playing the University of Washington.  I was so excited, because it was a long time since I have been to a game.  I asked my brother to get Zac and I some tickets and it started a snowball effect.  My brother Mark his wife and kids decided they need to come.  Then my parents could not miss it.  Then my other brothers thought they should come to.  Then the next thing we know is I have an Aunt and Uncle and some cousins coming.  So with my Aunt and cousins that live locally, and all of the rest of the family that came to Washington.  We had 25 of us at the BYU vs. UW game.  The game was awesome it was fun to sit with all of the cougar fans and feed off of everyone’s energy.  The ending had us nervous but the cougars did it they pull out a win.        &lt;br /&gt;It was the best weekend ever to have all of my family here, except for Jenny and Zoey.  We missed them but maybe they will all come back in two years when we play UW again.  We were able to do lots of funs things together.  You will have to look at the photos to see everywhere we went.  Thanks everyone for coming and spending time with us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-7779485864595343150?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/7779485864595343150/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=7779485864595343150' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/7779485864595343150'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/7779485864595343150'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/09/cougar-weekend_11.html' title='Cougar Weekend'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SMnPM-du6EI/AAAAAAAAAN8/Wv1I_rPRpvM/s72-c/366-SPT0907_UW_P1_highlight_prod_affiliate_5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-877166369765969065</id><published>2008-09-11T19:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T19:05:31.268-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cougar Weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w301.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/greenmachinelover/9037a68d.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/greenmachinelover/?action=view&amp;current=9037a68d.pbw" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-877166369765969065?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/877166369765969065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=877166369765969065' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/877166369765969065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/877166369765969065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/09/cougar-weekend.html' title='Cougar Weekend'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-4797370874364661553</id><published>2008-08-21T16:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-21T17:25:27.483-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Newcastle Golf Club</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SK4Hax6dsaI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wj6zOo6hpCU/s1600-h/Coal1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SK4Hax6dsaI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wj6zOo6hpCU/s320/Coal1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237131573335011746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I went golfing with my boss from work. We get to go each year with this conference we attend. I told Zac that I was going to be going golfing on Wednesday. He said where do you get to go? I said I am going to some place called Newcastle. Zac immediately asked if he could go, I said sorry you can’t it is for work. He then proceeded to tell me that it is one of the nicest golf courses in Washington. Zac just could not believe that I was going to be golfing at Newcastle. Especially since it is a $165 a round and that I don’t really golf. Well on Tuesday the weather was saying it will be raining all day long on Wednesday. Zac told me that he felt vindicated since he was not able to go. But he was great he had me all set up with his golf umbrella, and his golf parka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Wednesday my boss and I are driving up to the golf course and it is raining so hard. We keep saying that this is going to be miserable since we don’t really golf. However once we got to the course it was amazing it stopped raining, a little bit of blue sky came along. It was the most perfect weather you could ask for until the 18th hole when we were putting it started to rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have to say this is one of the nicest golf courses I have ever been on, even though I have only been on a few. The views on this course were amazing. The people who worked there were amazing. We also had a great time golfing because it was best ball. Our team was my boss (who is a woman) and two other men. I also have to say that I did pretty well. The first three holes we used my drive because I hit the ball the furthest, even though I teed off from the women’s area. Then on hole 10 (pictured down below), I was able to win the prize for closest to the pin. It was a par 3 and I hit the ball and it landed on the green about 10 feet from the hole. I could not believe it. I think I am ready for lessons now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SK4GDbrIS0I/AAAAAAAAANs/U7XRchUqv1c/s1600-h/Coal10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SK4GDbrIS0I/AAAAAAAAANs/U7XRchUqv1c/s320/Coal10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237130072716495682" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-4797370874364661553?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/4797370874364661553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=4797370874364661553' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4797370874364661553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4797370874364661553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/08/newcastle-golf-club.html' title='Newcastle Golf Club'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SK4Hax6dsaI/AAAAAAAAAN0/wj6zOo6hpCU/s72-c/Coal1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-4216220852113564183</id><published>2008-08-14T22:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-19T16:31:48.193-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Highly Disappointed</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SKs2F_1IGhI/AAAAAAAAANA/W6ghsKvxDZQ/s1600-h/001008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SKs2F_1IGhI/AAAAAAAAANA/W6ghsKvxDZQ/s320/001008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236338468409842194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I received some very sad news.  I know most of you are thinking OH BROTHER Shanna.  But have you ever been excited for something so much, that you could not wait for it?  That is how I feel about Harry Potter, I am a huge fan.  I was looking forward to the release of the new Harry Potter movie that was going to release on  November 21st.  I had it all planned, I was going to take my dad, because has read the books also.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now because Hollywood is not rich enough they are moving the release of the film to July 17th 2009.  WHAT THE HECK!  I have been reading articles on the delay.  They are saying this will be good for the fans, because the new release will be closer to the release of the final movies.  My question is how is this suppose to be better for me?  What about the wait and disappointment I am feeling now.  All I have to say is I can't believe it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-4216220852113564183?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/4216220852113564183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=4216220852113564183' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4216220852113564183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4216220852113564183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/08/highly-disappointed.html' title='Highly Disappointed'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SKs2F_1IGhI/AAAAAAAAANA/W6ghsKvxDZQ/s72-c/001008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-8809984111029814682</id><published>2008-08-13T19:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-13T22:53:44.785-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BYU Cougar Poll  Season II</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SKOyfwPqQPI/AAAAAAAAAM4/a9SjNDud0G0/s1600-h/helmet_87.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SKOyfwPqQPI/AAAAAAAAAM4/a9SjNDud0G0/s320/helmet_87.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234223450530922738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year we posted a poll asking you, the viewers of this blog, to tell us how you thought the BYU Cougars would perform during the season.  Well the poll is back and hopefully we can increase the participation.  Yes, this means actually answering the poll. All the Aunts and Uncles, Brothers, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and Friends-whoever you are! You can see it there on the right.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shanna and I are excited to have all the family up to see the BYU vs UW game... But I am faced with a slight dilemma. I will be a Husky soon after the first game...  What do I do?  After much thought I decided I like our bed and I still want to sleep in it.  And I thought if I even hinted a bark Shanna might claw my eyes out because she is a real Cougar!

This is a first for me, I was able to get some help from my friend Melissa. The flavor of this yummy jam is marionberry and Raspberry combined. I had never heard of a marionberry until I moved to Washington and I have tried marionberry jam and loved it. We also have a berry farm not to far from us and they have the best berry's in the summer time. So Zac and I thought we should try it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom always made Strawberry freezer jam when I was a kid and I love it. I can't wait till she comes in September so she can taste my yummy jam. I think we will have toast every day for breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at those yummy berries....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5GO0g45gI/AAAAAAAAAMY/36Cf8Mr2PVg/s1600-h/IMG_0567%5B1%5D"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5GO0g45gI/AAAAAAAAAMY/36Cf8Mr2PVg/s320/IMG_0567%5B1%5D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232697037479798274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the beautiful jam...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5GsyMFSyI/AAAAAAAAAMg/xsM2hiz8zCE/s1600-h/IMG_0568%5B1%5D"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5GsyMFSyI/AAAAAAAAAMg/xsM2hiz8zCE/s320/IMG_0568%5B1%5D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232697552251734818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the finished product...just call me Martha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5HO1By5pI/AAAAAAAAAMo/ZUUcu20I2ms/s1600-h/IMG_0571%5B1%5D"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJ5HO1By5pI/AAAAAAAAAMo/ZUUcu20I2ms/s320/IMG_0571%5B1%5D" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232698137129445010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at all my Jam...Thanks Melissa it turned out great.

We went out and bought our planter boxes and all of our seeds and starter plants.  We planted all of our vegetables and twenty minutes after we planted everything our neighbor decide to spray his side of the fence and dosed all of our plants and soil with wood stain.  We were devastated and did not replant due to time.  So this year we decided to do a small test garden.  We plated tomato's, yellow squash, green onions, and cucumbers.  Our cucumbers did not make it we had to much rain when we planted but the rest is doing great.  So here are some pictures of our lovely garden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp2zwnIwFI/AAAAAAAAAMA/HnssGdmVWiw/s1600-h/030.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp2zwnIwFI/AAAAAAAAAMA/HnssGdmVWiw/s320/030.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231624548738711634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are our lovely Tomato's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp3IdaubzI/AAAAAAAAAMI/SYeTAak6KBQ/s1600-h/031.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp3IdaubzI/AAAAAAAAAMI/SYeTAak6KBQ/s320/031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231624904363634482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is our squash, can't wait for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp3e9otqVI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/1w6pfaIxk3U/s1600-h/032.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp3e9otqVI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/1w6pfaIxk3U/s320/032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231625290969360722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is are green onions they are so good.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-7882049964418110225?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/7882049964418110225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=7882049964418110225' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/7882049964418110225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/7882049964418110225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/08/garden.html' title='The Garden'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJp2zwnIwFI/AAAAAAAAAMA/HnssGdmVWiw/s72-c/030.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-5386736890278710014</id><published>2008-07-30T21:02:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-30T21:29:37.626-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Harry Potter</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJE_qliz5SI/AAAAAAAAALw/4hvQfWMv6PM/s1600-h/KCAMXORH3CATUMPYCCAWG2B5XCA6P4DYPCACT7F1XCAQQN0PMCAM1BHSBCAPETONHCA9EVK2YCA9YNSL5CAMXS4H1CAKJ8KCQCAYHL3LFCACQT39UCAQEMEXYCAGSV1HFCALM87H2CAFQSWLJ.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJE_qliz5SI/AAAAAAAAALw/4hvQfWMv6PM/s320/KCAMXORH3CATUMPYCCAWG2B5XCA6P4DYPCACT7F1XCAQQN0PMCAM1BHSBCAPETONHCA9EVK2YCA9YNSL5CAMXS4H1CAKJ8KCQCAYHL3LFCACQT39UCAQEMEXYCAGSV1HFCALM87H2CAFQSWLJ.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229030643219031330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I had to share some great news, the new Harry Potter movie trailer is out.  Yeah Baby!  It looks so good....I am a huge Harry Potter fan.  My friend Gina told me about these books when the 4th book came out.  I thought what the heck I will try to read them.  Well I was hooked immediately.  Then they started to make the movies.  I am so excited for November I can wait for the sixth movie the Half Blood Prince I loved this book.  So any one that would like to see the trailer just copy this link and enjoy.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-5386736890278710014?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/5386736890278710014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=5386736890278710014' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/5386736890278710014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/5386736890278710014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/07/harry-potter_30.html' title='Harry Potter'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SJE_qliz5SI/AAAAAAAAALw/4hvQfWMv6PM/s72-c/KCAMXORH3CATUMPYCCAWG2B5XCA6P4DYPCACT7F1XCAQQN0PMCAM1BHSBCAPETONHCA9EVK2YCA9YNSL5CAMXS4H1CAKJ8KCQCAYHL3LFCACQT39UCAQEMEXYCAGSV1HFCALM87H2CAFQSWLJ.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-8881795207143105583</id><published>2008-07-27T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T17:43:41.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Pirates Life for me.</title><content type='html'>People have been telling me that I need to update my blog.  This has been hard since Zac is a full time student and needs to do homework on the computer.   However I was able to squeeze in and do a couple of belated posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; For the 4th of July….”I know it almost August”.  My sister in laws Debbie and Mary came up to spend the holiday with us.  We did fireworks on the 4th and I had a great time putting on the show of fireworks that Zac bought.  Then the next day we went to the Tall Ship show in Tacoma.  Now it was not very organized we had to stand in line for an hour and a half to see the BIG Pirate ships.  However I loved it.  I have always wanted to be a pirate on a ship and be out at sea.  We were able to go on one of the ships from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie.   It was so cool, not much in luxury like a cruise ship, but very much a pirate ship.   At the end of the ship they said you can go on the ship from LA to Hawaii.  I would love to do that, so I asked how long would it take.  They said 30 days.   I thought, ”oh boy I don’t think I could play a pirate that long.”  However I think I could be a pirate from Seattle to LA; that would be cool.  Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates Life for me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-8881795207143105583?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/8881795207143105583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=8881795207143105583' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/8881795207143105583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/8881795207143105583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/07/pirates-like-for-me.html' title='A Pirates Life for me.'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-5031906021290276941</id><published>2008-07-27T17:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T17:40:00.875-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tall Ship Show</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:300px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w301.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/greenmachinelover/36f62f22.pbw" height="360" width="300"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&amp;landing=/slideshows&amp;type=125" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-5031906021290276941?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/5031906021290276941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=5031906021290276941' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/5031906021290276941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/5031906021290276941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/07/tall-ship-show.html' title='Tall Ship Show'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-8022066844384085789</id><published>2008-07-27T14:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T16:52:36.603-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wilford Spencer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SIzwLDJrgQI/AAAAAAAAAKY/55zZMnttwZI/s1600-h/208.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SIzwLDJrgQI/AAAAAAAAAKY/55zZMnttwZI/s320/208.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227817340085436674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we were in Washington D.C., I really wanted to go and see the World War II memorial.  It was so beautiful, I hope you like the photos. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When I was growing up my dad would always share stories of my Grandpa Spencer from the war.   I wanted to share one of his experiences, and thank him for being such a strong and brave person.  I Love you Grandpa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“D-day was a real test of courage.  Wilford Spencer was assigned to Omaha Beach (the second most deadly front during D-Day).  He was placed on the 8th wave of assaults and given 150# of high explosives to carry instead of a rifle.  Any bullet would have destroyed him and everything within 30 yards had he been hit.  Preparing for the launch to the beach he saw the dead and dying soldiers swept off the beaches by gunfire before they could reach cover.  Landing crafts were destroyed before they even reached shore.  Soldiers that jumped from the landing craft were often sunk over their heads and drowned from the weight of their loads due to the landing crafts inability to get close enough.  Looking at the scene Wilford stated “I knew that I would never live to see the sun set that day.”  Miraculously he survived.  History reports that the first 6 waves of soldiers were killed and over half of the soldiers in the next 4 waves were killed before U.S. Troops were able to start establishing a beach head and maintain a hold on the beach.

I really enjoyed this book, however if you read it you might be confused with why I enjoyed it.  But I feel like my eyes were kind of opened to an interesting way of living.  At times I was really frustrated and shocked.  But then there is something so interesting about how strong the kids were in this book.  I hope you all get a chance to read it.  Thanks Nora for suggesting such a good book.  I hope you will share other great reads with me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the next book we are going to tackle at Book Club….Drum roll please……I am so excited to read this book I have heard so many good things about it.  “Water for Elephants” by Sara Gruen I am going to start reading this weekend and I am so looking forward to this one.  If you have read it you will have to share some insights with me when I am finished.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-3408205901595079253?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/3408205901595079253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=3408205901595079253' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3408205901595079253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3408205901595079253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/06/book-club-take-3.html' title='Book Club Take 3'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SEi6vX5u3YI/AAAAAAAAAJI/h92bRnk4HFI/s72-c/13722753.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-3545119265069104219</id><published>2008-05-12T16:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-15T06:47:40.784-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vacations'/><title type='text'>Spring Vacation</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUZO8ti6I/AAAAAAAAAJA/Ape1lwSOlgg/s1600-h/logo_126x109.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUZO8ti6I/AAAAAAAAAJA/Ape1lwSOlgg/s320/logo_126x109.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199639299773795234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zac and I just went on our spring vacation to New York and Washington D.C.  We went with two of our friends Trav and Melissa Story.  We arrived in New York early Saturday after flying all though the night.  Once we arrived we went on a city tour since we could not check in until 2:00.  Once we checked in we were so tired from traveling all night, we crashed for a couple of hours.  Once we had rested we went to Times Square for Dinner. After we ate we asked the waitress where we should go to for New York Cheese Cake.  She sent us to a place called Juniors; once we got there we decided to get a small cheese cake since it was cheaper than buying it by the slice.  Once we tasted the cheese cake it ruined us it was the most wonderful piece of cheese cake we have ever tasted, even better than the Cheesecake Factory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday we went to see the Yankees play the Mariners we only made it through three innings.  The weatherman said it was going to rain, but he was wrong it was HOT and SUNNY.  So I was burnt to a crisp.  After we left the game we decided to stroll through Central Park.  Everyone was out in the park since it was such a lovely day and we just enjoyed the park.  After our stroll we went to the Met and sat on the steps for a bit and were entertained by the street performers.  We also went on a night tour that night to see all of the city lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday we went the museum of natural history where the movie the Night at the museum was filmed.  We had lunch at Carnegie Deli Melissa and I shared a sandwich and Zac and Trav shared a sandwich.  The sandwiches were so big, and the meat was so yummy.  We also went shopping and then over to serendipity where we were able to get a frozen hot chocolate YUMM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUP-8ti5I/AAAAAAAAAI4/PqZ94ukXOeU/s1600-h/header.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUP-8ti5I/AAAAAAAAAI4/PqZ94ukXOeU/s320/header.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199639140860005266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday we went to see the Manhattan Temple, Lady Liberty, Battery Park, and the New York Stock Exchange.  We also went to get Pizza at a yummy pizzeria on our way to the pizzeria I saw a Pinkberry soft serve ice cream.  I said oh we have to go there after the pizza.  Once we came back to get our yummy treat at Pinkberry I had strawberries and kiwi on my ice cream.  Ohhhh let me tell you it was devine.  &lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUGu8ti4I/AAAAAAAAAIw/UVnPqjS-Ngw/s1600-h/544257.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUGu8ti4I/AAAAAAAAAIw/UVnPqjS-Ngw/s320/544257.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199638981946215298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Zac had one with fruity pebbles, pineapple, and strawberries.  We all kind of turned our nose up to Zac’s combo but he loved it and wanted to go back for another.  After all of the yummy food we just eat we decided it was the perfect time to walk the Brooklyn Bridge it was really cool to walk across and see the view of New York City.  That night we had tickets to see the Broadway musical Little Mermaid.  It was good but not as good as others that I have seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that was our trip to NYC we had a lot of fun.  I will have to do the DC photos next and write up that experience.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-3545119265069104219?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/3545119265069104219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=3545119265069104219' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3545119265069104219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3545119265069104219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/05/spring-vacation.html' title='Spring Vacation'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SCjUZO8ti6I/AAAAAAAAAJA/Ape1lwSOlgg/s72-c/logo_126x109.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-3801504781573556495</id><published>2008-05-12T15:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-12T15:40:52.001-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New York City</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w301.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/greenmachinelover/NYC/c59742e7.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&amp;landing=/slideshows&amp;type=111" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn65/greenmachinelover/NYC/?action=view&amp;current=c59742e7.pbw" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-3801504781573556495?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/3801504781573556495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=3801504781573556495' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3801504781573556495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3801504781573556495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-york-city.html' title='New York City'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-4139976938103149254</id><published>2008-04-12T22:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-12T22:59:32.269-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Book Club Take 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SAGhNEuppjI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/AsZaJ2h5xXM/s1600-h/23658122.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SAGhNEuppjI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/AsZaJ2h5xXM/s320/23658122.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188605491687302706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok so reading the “Dancing at the Rascal Fair” did not work very well for me.  I started to read the book I was eight pages in.  When the voice in my head was making me think of other things.  I then sat there trying to figure out what I had just read.  I was in a state of complete confusion.  Now I am not sure if this is because of my learning disability, or if this book is just simply over my head; because a few of the ladies in book club really liked the book.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I am going to make a second attempt at book club our next book is "The Glass Castle".  This was recommended by an old friend in a book club in Utah and all the ladies decided this is our next read.  So here goes, it will be interesting to see how I do on this one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-4139976938103149254?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/4139976938103149254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=4139976938103149254' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4139976938103149254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/4139976938103149254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/04/book-club-take-2.html' title='Book Club Take 2'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/SAGhNEuppjI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/AsZaJ2h5xXM/s72-c/23658122.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-3767427553134481649</id><published>2008-03-15T17:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T17:35:05.579-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fun Easter Fact</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R9xrGc166FI/AAAAAAAAAIA/2zgP_tOv0vI/s1600-h/feature.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R9xrGc166FI/AAAAAAAAAIA/2zgP_tOv0vI/s320/feature.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178131430134966354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring (vernal) equinox.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives!  And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early.  (95 years old or above!)  And none of us have ever, or will ever, ssee it a day earlier!  Here's the facts:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;1)  The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now).  The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2)  The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from  now).  The last time it was on March 22 was 1818.  So, no  one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-3767427553134481649?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/3767427553134481649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=3767427553134481649' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3767427553134481649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3767427553134481649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/03/fun-easter-fact.html' title='Fun Easter Fact'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R9xrGc166FI/AAAAAAAAAIA/2zgP_tOv0vI/s72-c/feature.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-3309962805369999139</id><published>2008-02-24T19:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-24T19:55:48.946-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Book Club</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R8I8K8mZgkI/AAAAAAAAAH4/tUdyPjTJfEw/s1600-h/imageDB.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R8I8K8mZgkI/AAAAAAAAAH4/tUdyPjTJfEw/s320/imageDB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170761480938291778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I did it.  I have joined a book club, and I am not sure if it is a good idea yet.  I have been wanting to do something so that I can grow as a person and felt this might be one way.  Normally I like to read books that have a bit of suspense, because I usually get tied in and always want to know what is going to happen next.  So I am a bit nervous over some of the books other people may pick, I sure hope there not snoozers, or full of romance.  I am however going in with an opened mind and in hopes that I can broaden my likes in other things.  So here goes the name of the first book picked is “Dancing at the Rascal Fair” by Ivan Doig.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also if any of you read any books that you really like maybe you can share with me so I can take it to my book club.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-3309962805369999139?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/3309962805369999139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=3309962805369999139' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3309962805369999139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/3309962805369999139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2008/02/book-club.html' title='Book Club'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R8I8K8mZgkI/AAAAAAAAAH4/tUdyPjTJfEw/s72-c/imageDB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-626507362637085803</id><published>2007-12-11T22:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-11T22:42:18.863-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R1-Cf-jPWuI/AAAAAAAAAHw/PIBX6zTsULY/s1600-h/IMG_0169.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/R1-Cf-jPWuI/AAAAAAAAAHw/PIBX6zTsULY/s320/IMG_0169.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142972785358756578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I have found one that I really like, it is a havanese breed.  I would like one of the all white puppies in the photo they are both boys and I would call mine Max.  I have talked to Zac about it and the problem is the puppy is $1,000 and Zac say that is too much, and that I could get it if it was only $200.  So I thought that I would post a picture of the puppies that are available and see what you think...am I completely out of my mind for wanting one or is Zac right because it does cost to much.  Let us know what you think and who knows maybe we can get the puppy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4135651996646776808-1006403491632188544?l=thepalmerhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/feeds/1006403491632188544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4135651996646776808&amp;postID=1006403491632188544' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/1006403491632188544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4135651996646776808/posts/default/1006403491632188544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thepalmerhome.blogspot.com/2007/09/should-we-get-puppy.html' title='Should we get a puppy?'/><author><name>Zachary and Shanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12502932838406531972</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/RvQotCMFQ1I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/tOWzsn_TOdw/s72-c/puppy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135651996646776808.post-2841138859758547707</id><published>2007-09-09T21:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-16T14:09:40.476-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weekends'/><title type='text'>Our Day at the Zoo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_5PE4LeQ4j6s/RuTHBj2PWgI/AAAAAAAAADg/aaBGnQFejsw/s1600-h/IMG_0105.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Shanna and I spent the day at the zoo.
