Packard Grandkid Pictures

Ok so this is the second time we have had the very talented Tiana Hunt come and take pictures, once was for our family pictures when Ryan was just tiny and now that Orin is going to be heading off to Idaho for school soon my mom wanted pictures. And this is what we got with 10 kids! And let me tell you it was NOT easy! It was freezing cold,the day before and the day after were atleast 10 degrees warmer!

This was the favorite

can you find 10 cuter kids out there?

Hide and seek, can you see all 10?

tallest to smallest!

Riley, Tyrel, Aften, Egan, Luke, Paydon, Blake, Ali, Ryan and Sadie

I have Tianas number if anyone is interested! She is so much fun to work with and SO affordable!

Cate Cousins

It seems like we havent been to the valley in forever and then we go like 3 times in 6 weeks! Crazy! The boys sure had fun getting to play with some of their cousins.

Layton, Ryan, Luke, Abby

Ryan and Danny

2 of the lovingest boys i have ever seen!

While we were there the last time we went to the Game and Fish Expo. It was really cool and I forgot to get my camera out of the car dang it! But while we were there the boys got to pet an 19 foot python, (yes I touched it and GROSS!) and they also got to pet an alligator! It was SO awesome! I loved touching it I had no idea it would feel like it did.

We had planed to go see the easter pagent but found out it was only in spanish that weekend, bummer. So we just spent time with Calebs parents and a few friends who happened to be visiting. It was good to visit with old friends and we got to go to the airport to pick up a friend of Calebs dads who I had never met but he was awesome and had a great time with my boys (and watching airplanes!)

I also had some time to realize that either I am the crappiest mom on the face of the earth, or that it is really easy to over look the sweet simple things in life and dwell on clean house or uneaten food. I hope I always can appreciate the cute little boys I have and never let a day go by that I don't take the time to watch them play, be silly, make a mess and just be BOYS!

St. Patricks Day

I have to admit, as I have before, I love to dress up my boys! And I love to do silly things to make memories with them. Like green eggs and sausage (we didn't have any ham!)



And green mashed potatoes and corned beef (YUM!)

I have no picture of green anything for dinner because some husband, who shall remain nameless, got tired of green food.....and hid the green food coloring. I was not happy.
