Lots of Pix

Troy Graduated from BOOT!

After Troy graduated from boot Amanda helped move the kids and I to Goose Creek, SC. Then in Nov Mom and Dad Packer came to help me out with the kids while I did my Thyroid treatment. We were able to do lots of fun things with them while they were here. One day we just went to the park and played with the kids. So here are some pictures from that.

Then we went and saw the Yorktown. Its an old aircraft carrier. They've used this ship for some movies after its been retierd. We got to go on and see what it looked like on the inside and also walk on the top deck and see different planes.

This is us on the ferry going over to Ft. Sumter.

This is us at Ft. Sumter standing in front of a cannon.

Zoey liked to look in the cannons to see what was inside. She was disapointed that all that was in them was dirt. lol

Mom holding Wyatt back at our house.

Zoey

Our first Christmas in the Navy!

Wyatt opening his first present from Santa. He wasnt sure if he liked the idea at first but then he found out that he doesnt get into truble ripping the paper and joined right in and opened his gift.

Zoeys gift she got from Grams.

I got a butterfly necklace from Troy

I gave him a nice watch to wear with his dress clothes. Eventhough he would stop talking about wanting one he was still suprised he got one.

Things are going really good here. We LOVE our house and everyday we are meeting new people and enjoying our time here. Troy is at school a lot and only gets a little time with us but we are slowly working things out. Troy will graduate in March and will soon after that start up again. Troy is doing really good in school.

The kids are growing up really fast. Wyatt has four teeth now and is walking around on everything. I think he will be walking by himself here pretty soon. Zoey started to potty train but it got kinda crazy cuz I got sick so we are taking a little break then jumping into it again. I hope she can pick it up fast. Zoey loves to read, so we have been reading to her every night. She loves princesses, anything that is princess she thinks that she has to have it. So we've had lots of fun with that. Zoey has a couple of friends here and like to go and play with them.

I just stay busy taking care of the house and the kids but I do have some friends that I go and visit with the kids. Im still trying to figure out my health and how I feel. But we are all doing really good and Love and Miss you all!

I Got a Call!!!!!

2011-07-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Troy called me this morning at 7:40. We were able to talk for 5min. He is doing good, but he does have a cold. They are running him hard and he is getting in shape its just taking sometime. He wanted me to tell you all hi and that he loves you!

2011-05-04T20:55:00.000-07:00

Just to let you know the pic or kinda out of order.

This is Riley, Kimberly, Carly, Kate, and Zoey waiting to start off the Easter egg hunt hat the park here in Tempe AZ.

The hunt started and Zoey didn't go and get any because she was scared of all the people. So Amy and Grandma helped her find some eggs that the kids left all behind. I'm glad that we went together because there had to be over 100 kids there.

This is one of Zoey's eggs. She liked it go much she didn't want to give it up.

This is the kids after the hunt at the park.

Later that evening when Elaine got home from work we went over to her house to find some more eggs. So we went over to the park behind her house and hid some for the kids.

Here are all the kids coming to the park to find more eggs including Troy lol jk.

Zoey and Wyatt getting ready to find some eggs. Wyatts first hunt so Zoey has a lot to teach him.

But it looks like he didnt need any help.

Zoey liked it a lot better when it was only her looking for the eggs and didnt have all the kids running around her and taking the eggs.

All done and heading back to Elaine's house to see what we found.

Troy and Wyatt stopping to show Zoey how to take a picture.

Zoey going through her eggs and found money inside. She was sad that she didnt get any candy, thankfully Elaine had some M&M's that we could give her.

Carly showing what she got.

Zoey decorating her eggs after the first hunt at the park.

Grandma helping the kids decorating the kids.

The kids dying the eggs.

Grandma helping Zoey write her name on her egg.

Happy Easter!!!

Wyatt

2011-03-09T19:23:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of Wyatt! Elaine wanted to experiment with her camera so Wyatt washer model, they turned out really cute.

Don't know why these are side ways they weren't when I loaded them.

Love this one!

Wyatt Edwin Packer

2011-02-25T17:32:00.000-08:00

Wyatt was born Febuary the 22nd at 8:23 pm.

He was 5lbs 15oz and 19in tall.

Troy with Wyatt just after he was born. We are so happy that he has desided to come in to this world ( finaly). Troy was really excited but you cant really tell cuz he had a lack of sleep. But he stayed up playing with Wyatt till midnight.

Gradma (Grams) giving Wyatt his first bath.

Wyatt enjoying his bath lol.

Thanksgivingish

2010-12-08T12:43:00.000-08:00

Wow time has really gone by fast. Well we found out that we are having a little boy. So Zoey will have a little brother to play with. Then the end of October we went down to Thatcher to see my family for Halloween/Thanksgiving. Saturday afternoon we had thanksgiving with my family that could make it down. Then Zoey dressed up like one of Heavenly Fathers little lambs. She had fun Trunk or Treating with her cousins. Then on Halloween my brother gave his farewell at church. He did a really good job on his talk. After church we went to the Temple and took family pictures.

I stuck some funny pictures of Zoey to show some of the fun things that she has done within the past couple of months.

Update...

2010-10-12T11:55:00.000-07:00

Things are going good for us this month. Tomorrow I will be getting an ultrasound to check up on the baby and to find out what we are having. Its really exciting for us. I think Zoey understands at least a little. She loves playing with my belly and giving the baby kisses. The Baby has been moving around a lot and has kicked Troy a couple of times. Zoey hasn't been able to feel yet cuz she thinks its funner to push on my belly and play with my belly button.

Troy is doing good with work and school. He is staying busy but is still finding time to play with Zoey which makes her really happy.

Some New pics of ZoEy

Long Time...

2010-07-19T13:20:00.000-07:00

Wow its been a really long time since the last time that Ive posted. There has been so much stuff going on in our lives.
In April we got notice that my grandpa wasn't doing so well and that it was a matter of time before he past on. So we drove down to AZ to be with my family at this hard time. We arrived just in time. A week after we arrived he died in the middle of the night. A couple days fallowing that we had his funeral. I stayed in Thatcher with my family while Troy went up to Tempe with Amanda to help her and Nathan move.
Troy got a job while he was up here. So we moved up to Tempe. We love our new apartment Zoey is so happy to finally have her own room. She loves playing in there.
Zoey had a good first birthday. We had a little party for her over at her Aunt Elaine's house. We went swimming and had lot of cake and ice cream.
I have some pictures Ill try to post. I hope everyone is doing really good.

Family Pictures

2010-02-02T01:26:00.000-08:00

Our Newest Family Picture

I Thought this one of Zoey Looked really good.

Ah Zoey and her Daddy.

Then there is mommy and Zoey. Through the whole time we were taking the pictures Zoey was crying or just not happy unless I was holding her. She did alot better once we were done. Then She was past out asleep. lol

O and this one is just adorable.

Here are the three boy all around Zoey. I just love the looks on thier faces. Dont they all just look so cute.

So we took some pictures but dont worrie we are sending some out. We love you guys.

Catching Up

2010-01-14T18:50:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone. Sorry its been so long there has been so much stuff going on. Zoey and I had lots of fun down in Pima, Thatcher area. I dont really have that many pictures cuz my camera died when we got there, plus I forgot the charger in Eugene. Well here are some pictures of us.

O and while I was down there I cut and dyed my hair. I kinda like being a red head lol.

Here is Zoey learning how to crawl. Yes I know you cant really see her crawling but is/was. She saw something that she wanted so she tryed to get it but went the wrong way. But now she goes both ways. She is still learning how but soon enough she will be doing amazing.

We found these really cool buckets that you can put toys or whatever you wanted. Well we thought it would be really cool to put Zoey in it and she had a blast.

Here are some really cute sleeping pictures.

Ah such a cute picture. Talk about a big smile.

Our poor baby ; ( We were having dificulty getting out of the house for our date cuz of the lovily weather. On our way our way someone desided to stop us from having our date. After the person hit us we went back home and switch cars and went anyways.

Ps We had TONS of fun.

Just Chillin'

2009-11-19T12:24:00.000-08:00

Zoey and Archer love to play with each other. They like to pull, pinch, and grab each other when they are laying and sitting by each other as you can see. Archer is smiling a lot more now and Zoey is giggling and laughing at everyone but Troy (Poor Troy). For some reason she doesn't like to giggle for her daddy. So he just listens and plays with her when I am so he can get her to giggle.

So we were having fun taking cute pictures of the little babies and Talon decided that he wanted to be in the picture too so we thought it would be cute to have him in it to. So ya there's Talon for ya. O and you see my beautiful little girl picking on her little cousin. I told you they like to pick on each other. Its just so cute sometimes you just have to take a picture of it. But the funny thing is is that she doesn't even realize its bad and neither does Archer, but I guess thats what they get for picking on each other.

Ah our little one is growing up. Zoey is doing really good at sitting up by herself. We will set her down and she will sit there for a while and then she will start to fall and catch herself. Well sometimes she doesn't and falls flat on her face. So we pick her up and let her try again. We are so proud of her. She is doing so good.

This is one of the weekends that Zane gets to visit. Zane and Talon found out that its really fun to wrestle their Uncle Troy. The only problem is that Talon misses his older brother so much that he forgets that he is suppose to get Troy and he goes after Zane. Also I thought this was a really cute picture of Talon. Whenever I take a picture of him he always closes his eyes, so I just had to share this picture with everyone.

Here is Zoey's favorite new toy. She can kick it, pull it, and grab it. It sings songs and the top part turns and makes noise with it with she kicks the blue bottom part as you can see in the next picture. O and when it does kick it she jumps cuz she wasn't expecting that. Its so fun to watch her play and have fun learning new things.

Zoey's First Halloween!!!

2009-11-03T18:57:00.000-08:00

Troy Zoey and I are pink pirates, Nila is a clown, Archer and Talon are pumpkins, and Zan is Indiana Jones.

Our family picture in our cute pink pirate costume Nila made for us.

Zoey looking cute like always.

Finally Zoey and I smiling for the camera. Sorry its so short but Troy needs the computer for his homework. Love You All!!!!

Trunk Or Treat

2009-10-28T20:16:00.000-07:00

We took Zoey Trunk or Treating. She had a lot of fun looking at all the costumes, so it was kinda hard to get a picture of her. We took her around getting her candy and she enjoyed it. Some of the people handed her the candy and she grabbed it and tried to eat it like it was something good. lol I don't know what she was thinking.

Then we made some evil hand and she thought it was yummy or at lest the plastic of the glove.

Troy and Zoey played some games. Fist they played golf then fishing. (Sorry the pictures are out of order) Zoey had lots of fun trying to hit the ball the first time then the second time she got kinda mad.

They had some pumpkins on the stage and some of them were really cute. Here is one with a spider on his nose. Then there is Zoey sitting by to of them .

Troy and Zoey looking dang cute.

Me and Zoey. She is holding her basket so she can get some candy.

Troy and I looking hot in our jersey. We thought we would look so good so we tried it out.

Happy Halloween

2009-10-19T21:18:00.000-07:00

So the dogs saw this raccoon and chased it up the tree. Troy and Talbot thought it was so funny. They weren't quite sure what to do with it so Troy took a picture of it in the mean time.

Our Sleeping Beauties...It was the cutest thing ever. Zoey would grab his hand in his sleep. When they have tummy time they talk to each other all the time. Its so fun to watch them.

Talbot's friend's daughter Rachel had a birthday part at Chucky Cheese. So we went with Talbot and Nila so we could get out of the house and do something fun. Since we went Zoey was so lucky that she met Chucky for the first time. She smiled at him and did really good all night with all the noise and different people around.

Talbot holding Zoey at Chucky Cheese.

Then today Talbot said he was going to take us to a waterfall and guess what we did. Just kidding. So We had tons of fun. It was so beautiful. We tried to clime up to the top but it was to slippery so we didn't make it up.

This is Zoey by the waterfall.

Ok so everyone wants to see a picture of her teeth so here they are, o wait you can't see them lol. OK they are there you just cant see them. The only way we could get her to smile well or see her teeth is make her fuss. There are two teeth down there on her bottom jaw.

Here are two cute pictures of her to show that she is doing good and growing. And yes her hair is turning red. So I guess we will have to wait to see what it will turn.

So I thought we should put a picture of me and Zoey. We are doing good just enjoying the rain. I guess after living in Arizona for so long having some rain can be exciting.

The other day Troy and I went on our first date up here. We found roller rink and went roller skating. It was nice to be on a date and just have fun with one another. Ya and I fell a couple of time but almost fell tons of times. That was the day when Troy and I found out that he is a lot better then me at skating. When we got done we went out to eat and enjoyed the Chines food.

P.S. Zoey rolled over tonight for the first time. We are so happy but we haven't got her to do it again. So I guess we will have to keep watching her.

Our Trip To Oregon

2009-10-12T11:48:00.000-07:00

Zoey and Wesley playing on the floor at my sister Nicole's house in Mesa. We stoped there and stayed the night when we were on our way up to Oregon. This is the first time Zoey layed eyes on her new cousin. They look so cute together.

Sorry I tryed to turn the picture around and it wouldn't let me. This is Edward playing there by the baby's.

This is Cameron playing popcorn poping on the apricot tree. He just loves that game so my sister Nicole pops him in the air when she says popcorn.

Don't you just love our big hillbilly truck. Ya its just a big mountain on the back of the truck. Nila and I thought it would be really funny if we put Zoey's car set on top for the picture then we really would be hillbilly's. lol. sorry i tried to get more pictures on but it wouldn't let me. But a least I got some. Anyways we made it safe and we are doing really good.

Zoey is growing up...

2009-10-03T23:30:00.001-07:00

Zoey is growing up so fast. She loves her tummy time so we give it to her every morning. She loves to stand on our laps and dance for us. She scoots around on her play mat. We are having so much fun playing with her because now she is trying to talk and she is making different sounds with her mouth using her tongue. She thinks its the funnest thing ever. She is also starting to grab thing (a lot) and putting them to her mouth. So now we really have to watch her lol. Troy and I love her with everything we have and we are so grateful that we have her in our lives.

Talon and Hunter looking cool in their sunglasses.

Zoey loves Nila's baby swing. You would just set her in it and she would fall right to sleep.

Here are some cute pictures of Hunter at the lake.

Troy and I really enjoyed the lake.

Here is our latest family picture. We all have really enjoyed the weather here. Its been really nice for us to get away and see family. The other day we went out paintballing out in the forest at Talbot's dads house. There was only four of us that played so we got to play quite a few games. We mostly played Fox and the Hound, the at the end we played a couple team games. The last game we played Troy shot Talbot in the mouth and Talbot got a whole mouth full of paint lol.

Cute Hair Doo

2009-08-07T23:32:00.000-07:00

Troy is taking his final for english on Wednesday.

So I wish him good luck.

One Month

2009-07-18T10:50:00.000-07:00

This is how big she is. I tryed to stretch her out
but she wouldnt let me, so this is the best i could
get of her full body.

Zoey sleeping like a good baby.

Troy is taking care of Zoey. so i guess you can
say he is sleeping on the job. lol. Troy is doing
really good with Zoey and he has been a big
help. I know I couldnt do it by myself. Thank
you Troy. I love you!!

Zoey will go to her next dr. appointment on tuesday
so we will know how much she weighs and how big
she is getting. But I saw Dr. Tran and he said that
she looks good and that she is growing good so we
will just have to wait and see what the other dr has
to say.

I know this picture is on Emma's blog, but I really wanted to post a picture of my tummy! I am 27 weeks tomorrow! I am so excited for this little girl to get here! I am not excited for the glucose test that I have to go take tomorrow, but other than that life is GREAT! I am working on getting Troy to scan my ultra-sound pictures in so that I can post them. Hopefully he will get around to it soon! School is almost over, so that is pretty exciting too! I have finally started reading... it really is addicting! My wonderful sis-in-laws convinced me to start reading the Twilight books and I am finally on book 4! I really enjoy reading them and I am going to be sad when it ends. I will have to find another series to get addicted to! Troy found out that he will be able to graduate after the first summer session of school! He is really excited to FINALLY be done with his AA... then we get to move on to a Masters... urghh!

Not much going on here!

2009-01-19T13:15:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple pictures of us from Christmas! We are busy with school again this semester. We are getting excited for the baby to come in June! Only a couple more weeks and we should find out what we are having! Everyone thinks that it is a boy... that would be Great, but we don't really care! My belly is starting get bigger... almost time for maternity clothes! I hope everyone is doing GREAT! Love you all!
