Like Big Sis

Packer adores his sisters.  He loves to play with them and try to be just like them.

Here are some cute pictures of him playing with Hailey.

He is wearing panties just like his big sister Aliyah and following Hailey around

Reading books with his big sisters

Dressing up to play with Hailey

I love how they both had to have strollers, their Minnie and Mickey and their blankets

 Love it!

Tractors

Packer LOVES tractors!  He gets so excited to see one.  His sisters make sure they point them out to him if they ever see them.

At Lowes, Packer saw some John Deere lawn mowing tractors and wanted to sit on one.  He was so fascinated by it and was sad when I took him off it.

Grandma and Grandpa Thomson got Packer a tractor scooter to use that their house.

As you can tell, he loves it!

Packer's Broken Arm

Poor Packer!  He fell on his arm at Grandma's and then a few days later fell on it again on the playground.  He wouldn't use it and it looked swollen so we took him in to the doctor.  Well, turns out he had a double fracture on his left arm.  What a tough boy!  He never complained or cried about his arm - just wouldn't use it.

Here are some pictures after he got his arm sprinted and a sling.  He did not like his sling!

 Aug 28

What a cute guy!

A week later, he got his full cast.  It didn't slow him down one bit!

After two weeks of the full cast, he got his smaller cast.  Aunt Kimberly painted a tractor on his cast.

He LOVED his tractor cast!

He got his cast off two weeks later!  What a happy day for him and for us!  We are so grateful he heals so quickly and that there were no complications.

Garden

Here are some things from our garden this year - one of red peppers

Some of our tomatoes

And some delicious raspberry-peach jam I made with our raspberries and some peaches from Peach Days

Blankets

The kids think it's great to have their own sleeping bags, blankets and little chairs.  They love to spread them out and play together.  I love it!

They were also dressing up in their blankets (being royalty with their capes, robes, and dresses)!  I know Grandma Carter would love it!

Dinosaur Park

Aunt Kimberly took the kids to Dinosaur park.  Jeff and I tagged along.  We had a great time!

Aunt Kimberly has some cute pictures from the day **reminder to self to put them on here**

Thanks Aunt Kimberly!!

Peach Days

We did our annual trip to Brigham City for Peach Days.  We enjoy looking at the booths, trying peach food, and buying a bushel of fresh peaches.

Here's our only pictures from the day though - of us eating our yummy peach taco and peach croissant lunch.

Swim Party

Aliyah and Hailey really wanted to have a swim party in our backyard.

They put it all together themselves.  They decorated the yard (you can see how they went all out with their decorations!  Very creative! - even streamers on the fence!), got out some treats for the party, and invited their friend Halle to come to the swim party.

The girls had a great time at their "Swim Party"!
