Alrighty then, it’s now been about month since our last update. I was planning on trying to do this thing like once a week or so, but honestly, I think we’re doing good to keep it at once a month!

Anyway, not a whole lot has happened, however, we did find out we were having a boy! Maddie is slowly catching on to the fact that Mommy’s tummy is big because her baby brother is in there. I can’t wait to see her eyes when she first meets him. The little tyke is developing fine, actually about a week ahead of schedule. Dixie is due on the 27th of June, just in time for my birthday! Happy birthday to me!

So Dixie and I hit our 5 year anniversary on the 15th of this month. (February) Five years, and loving every minute of it. This last weekend, we took Maddie to Dixie’s parent’s house and had a little vacation to celebrate. We actually took two nights, Maddie stayed at the Lang’s on Sunday night, and my parent’s on Monday night. We flew to the most exotic location, stayed in the fanciest hotel, and ate nothing but the finest foods. Ok, so we stayed at the Country Inn & Suites in Bountiful, and ate dinner at Ruby River. So it wasn’t Hawaii, but it was a break from life at least. It really was a nice break. Thanks to our parents for putting up with Maddie for a bit so we could take off.

If you have a few minutes, you might want to check out some of the new photos and things that have been added lately. Here’s a list of links to a few of the photo albums and things that have new stuff in them.

If you’re still bored after all that, I’m sure there’s plenty of new things to see and do over in the Brain Cell Bucket. I come across funny videos and jokes all the time, and if I think they’re Packer-worthy, then I throw them in there for you to enjoy. And there have even been a couple new posts in the Public
blog. And remember, if any of you at all want to post something in the Public Blog, just let me know, and I’ll hook you up! It sure would be fun to have a bunch of people telling us all what’s going on.

So I think that about covers it! We’ll see ya next time!

Is that how you spell Pinata? I suppose it should have one of those squiggly lines over it or something. Anyway, thanks to Rob Carlson for sending in this great video of Maddie taking a few swings at a Pinata a few nights ago at Grandma Carlson’s house. It’s a tradition to have Mexican food and swing at a Pinata around Christmas time with the Carlsons. I suppose this one is just left over. Enjoy!

Hey, we added some new pictures to Maddie’s album, and the Lang’s album!

Camille sent in this video of what looks like a couple guys doing some karaoke as the entertainment for some type of Valentine’s dinner or something? Camille, you’ll have to correct me on it and fill us all in. Just send me an email or something, and I’ll tell em all what it really is. Enjoy.

So, I guess I better get on the ball and post a blog myself. I’m so behind in all my stories, that this could take forever, so I’ll just start from last night.
Dad and I went out last night for an overnighter for Valentines. It was soooooooooo awesome. We went to the Hale Theater for the earlier show to see, “See How They Run,” and then we went out to eat at The Roof. Wow, what an experience. We had an incredible seat perfect for the SLC temple view and the food was so awesome. We were in heaven, having such a romantic dinner and evening. Then, Dad had reserved a hotel by the E-Center, where we just relaxed and slept till we woke up. I am a new woman now, and can carry on till our anniversary to get recharged.

Austin is on his second dance dance for the Sweethearts dance. He wore one of Grandpa’s famous tuxes, the brown and pink one. He look so smashing! Why I didn’t use my good camera, because if I ever send a picture, it just won’t give it justice. He still needs to grow a little big more to really fit in them. He’s being held up with pins and needles, and oh yea, thread!

So, I will try better to write on these blogs more often.

Nate, I think this is soooooooo great, so don’t give up on us. We’ll all catch on to this sooner than you think. It’s amazing and we appreciate all you’re doing to keep us connected. Some of us are just a bit slow.

Love ya all tonz!!! MOM Packer
