    Table Mountain

    1 Comment

    On Sunday the 29th of April I drove to Oroville with Packer, Cali, Rose, Raymond and 3 of my siblings. Joel, Brady and Kelsey convinced me to leave early and spend some time at the parents house and let Ben and Benji come with Ryan and his family so… that’s what we did 🙂 We drove on Sunday and then played for 2 days.

    On Monday we hung out with Liz and her kids and Tracie and her high school friends. That evening we went up to Table Mountain for a picnic and hike for family night. Table Mountain is simply beautiful. Check it out:

    even the cows are pretty

    happy birthday PACKER

    No Comments

    Packer was born on April 25th. This year it was on a Wednesday so we celebrated as a family that day and then Aunt Tracie and Uncle John celebrated with us on Thursday and we had a cousins party on Friday. We kept things pretty low key but Packer had a lot of fun with his new presents and eating lots of cake.

    wearing his backpack around 2 hours before school because he got to bring the treat and do show and tell!

    PRESENTS are the best part!!

    a PSP game!

    Eye Pet, Snorkel, EZ Fort, Angry Bird Card Game, and Gum = a happy Packer!

    We are in the habit of opening presents first thing in the morning so we can just play all day. I don’t think Packer changed out of his pajamas until it was time for soccer practice.

    i would like to wear my birthday snorkel while I eat my lunch.

    the YETI ZOMBIE birthday cake!

    cake with cousins - then movie time.

    The 3 day party was a success. Packer is still Mr. Chill. He is very lovable. His favorite right now is computer time. He wakes up begging and goes to bed thinking about playing again. He plays everything from Club Penguin to Zombies to Skylanders. Packer loves to play with Benji. He follows Benji around and thrives on their make believe games. He doesn’t like to be kissed good night but he does like multiple hugs. I can’t believe our Pac Man is already 5. Too big!

    Baby Cedar came to Utah to meet us! She lives in Alaska with her mom (my sister, Tracie) and her dad (John Lewis). That’s why I am giving her her own blog post – – this might be the only time we see her before she is 5! 🙂

    On Sunday April 22nd we went to her blessing and spent the day with family in Murray? (i think)

    After Cedars party we went straight to Amanda’s birthday party. No pictures of Amanda but Great Grandma Nettesheim was there and listened to the kids play in the corner. It was neat just having her there with us.
