Amelia's Birthday

First Day of School

School Days are here. Aren't they a good looking pair? Amelia is in 2nd grade this year and Caleb(I can hardly believe he is so old) is in 4th grade.

Fourth of July Fun!

I wish you could all be with us when we celebrate The Fourth. Our neighbors get together and rent a waterslide all day, then have our own "Stadium of Fire" at night. Actually it is more like "cul-de-sac of fire." Honestly, I don't think I will ever get used to the fancy fireworks people buy here.

Grant's Birthday

Does anyone wonder if we are still alive at the Packer house? Wow, I do not know how all you Super Mom's keep up with it all. Here I am almost 3 months past Grant's birthday, but I am still sharing pictures from the big day. He is too cute not to share. We have all had so much fun with a baby in the house this year. Amelia thinks she is a second Mother, Caleb can't stop taking pictures, and Livvy considers herself the protector of her baby brother. We are so grateful Grant is part of our family. Happy Birthday Grant!


I can open my own gifts!


But, I would rather chase after the camera.

Do you love my red curls?

Party time. Nothing like dinner and a movie.

I do NOT like birthday cake!

Jumping is one of my favorite things to do.

Easter Sunday

My First Easter!


The big Jelly Bean Hunt

I love my Easter Eggs!

Easter Egg Hunts

We went to 2 Easter parties this weekend. One with our church friends and another at Lake Carolina. SOoo fun, but soooo hot. I am tired of 90 degree weather, what happened to my Spring?? I can't wait for this heat wave to end.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Amelia felt just like Cinderella going to the ball. Aren't Dad's wonderful? I remember very well my own date nights with Dad. Thanks dad. I love you!

Caleb's Birthday

Caleb celebrated his birthday with a prehistoric sleepover party. It was a late night. Happy Birthday Caleb!!

Caleb decorated his own cake.

Cute Brothers!

The volcanic eruption.

Caleb's Math Competition

Caleb was chosen to represent the the third grade at a state math competition. He did great. He finished in the top 10 and recieved a medal. Way to go Caleb!

Big Snow

I know this looks like nothing to you, but this snow was HUGE in ole South Carolina. Many children around here had never seen real snow that you could actually play in. These people say it is snow when it looks more like frost. It started snowing the night before and we went to bed, but most people were out playing late into the night. I took these pictures in the morning before it all melted away. Most of it was gone by the afternoon.
