Merry Christmas to a wonderful family.

We think it is time to start using the blog again. Can we all commit to using it once a month? Even if it is only to share an update of how every one is doing.

What is your thoughts?

Andrea with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for stopping by our new house. We loved having you there even for just a short visit. Note: Anyone else who would like to hold this cute adorable baby before she turns into a crazy toddler is welcome to come to our home in Twin Falls. P.S. Good luck Kinzey and Karen with all the wedding craziness that happens right before the wedding.

Pulled Teeth

Today I had to take Emmalynn to the Dentist because her bottom permanent teeth was coming in behind her baby teeth. The Dentist looked in her mouth and also saw that her other tooth on the bottom was going to come in behind her baby teeth also. So Emmalynn had to have 4 baby teeth pulled today to accommadate the two permanent teeth coming in. Needless to say she experienced her first shots at the dentist which she didn't enjoy but was pretty brave anyway. I told her that I didn't like getting the shots either. She did say that she didn't even feel the dentist pull her teeth which was good. She is very excited to have the tooth fairy come tonight. I think having 4 teeth at once may break the tooth fairy but hopefully the tooth fairy will manage. So the next time all of you see Emmalynn she will be getting her first permanent teeth. How she is growing up. She is excited to start Kindergarten on September 2 but her mom is feeling kind of sad to know her first baby is starting school.

We hope you all are enjoying the rest of your summer break. Brant congratulations on your basketball scholorship at Utah Valley! We are excited for you and proud of you!

A quick Happy Birthday to all of you who have one in the next few Days. Derek, Makenzie and Josalyn we hope you have wonderful birthdays and know that we love you and are thinking about you on your special day!

Love The Packard's

Family Fun in July!!
