Now that you have all been patient... 2 posts in one night!!!

Here are a few pictures of what we have done in the past few months... Keep reading though because our baby turned 2 today and we had a successful birthday party tonight. I am exhausted!!! We have been busy as a family and are looking forward to the rest of the summer. We are having a Packard reunion next week and all of Jon's siblings will be coming from Washington. We haven't seen some of them in a year. We are excited to spend time with them. I am sure I will get tons of pictures.

Looking older with all his hair gone!

Nice face daddy :)


Uncle Dizzles got himself married. How cute are these boys?

We aren't sure what they were looking at.

Fixing the drawers.

Even bribing him with candy doesn't get him off daddy's motorcycle.

Bubbles don't taste very good.

After all the hard work... the front is done. Now it's time for the backyard!

Daddy taught JT how to eat yogurt with a cookie. That is a necessity you know.

Birthday Boy!!!

Holy Smokes... JT is 2! How crazy is that. It doesn't seem like it has been two years. As I was working today I thought back to the day he was born him. The moment I saw him in the nursery 2 years ago I knew that he belonged in our family and he was going to make us so happy. He has made my life complete. We are so blessed to be his parents. He is such a joy to be around. He has such a sparkling smile and awesome personality. He is going to go so far in his life. He is an amazing son and will be a wonderful big brother. I am so thankful that he chose us as his parents. I can't imagine my life without him. We had a "motorcycle" (his favorite thing in the whole world) birthday party with my family tonight. He got spoiled and had a blast. We had to save the big present from us for last because once he saw it he would have not opened the rest of his presents. It was a success and we move into the terrific 2's ;) Now for the pictures... sorry there are so many I just couldn't pick a few.

Look who's 2!!!

This is the "cheese" face



Mmmmmm ... frosting

Cake is good!

Sportin the helmet!

He didn't want to sit still and open presents... it was a fight.

The grand finale... just like daddy's!!!

Whoa.. goes a little fast downhill... he even crashed once. :)

Good thing mom made him put the helmet on before he crashed.

Who's the man?

He looks so grown up. What am I going to do when he turns 3?

Not a fan of silly string.

He just wouldn't smile!

Our family... time to add another one! :)

It's time...

I know I promised a post and I will get to it... my inlaws are coming down today for the weekend, but I plan on blogging on Sunday. :) Anyway, we are doing some things in our lives that are going to change things and I decided that I am not comfortable having the whole world knowing... so it is time we go private. I am not going to switch for 3 weeks due to vacations and other stuff... so you have plenty of time to get your request in. :) Leave a comment or email me at budge13@juno.com Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I know we will.

Ok Ok Ok!!!

So I have been a bit lazy lately or maybe just busy with life, but I promise we are still alive and one of these days I will post. :)
