A Nickell for Your Thoughts: Palm Springs

Palm Springs

Last weekend I took a 24 hour trip to Palm Spring with a few girlfriends. It was such an adventure! We all had a great time, it was really nice to have the weekend off. I forgot to take pictures, but I did manage to capture a few of the backyard landscape. Thank you Lori for letting us stay at your family's gorgeous home. I thought Palm Springs was beautiful and I would love to go back for an extended get away some day. This Texas girl just goes crazy anytime I see palm trees and mountains.

I think Mr.Pumpkin liked Palm Springs too, I had quite a few contractions while we were there. Not sure what brought them on but I had a few ideas......it could have been due to our car breaking down on the side of the road, the superheros that came to our rescue, the heat, lack of water, the extra large greasy grilled cheese I devoured at dinner, the yummy pineapple juice we had by the pool, being carsick, the cartwheel I turned on the golf course, or the crazy amount of laughing that took place. Whatever it was it did not stop us from having a great time! Thanks Ladies for a fun weekend!

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
