THE PACKARD PALOOZA: December 2014
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Thursday, December 11, 2014. This is simply a post to record all the good babysitting times we've had. We started a family babysitting swap with 2 other families in our ward about a year ago, and I am pleased to report that it has gone extremely well! Taryn and the barstools. This does mean that she is very independent, and will get her own clementine and peel it herself when she wants one, which does have it's pros. :). Mmmm, who can pass up licking the beaters? As he points to his ...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: January 2015
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Friday, January 30, 2015. Dutch oven hobo dinner! I am very sad that I missed out on this. mmmm, my favorite. Here they are finding all sorts of silly games to play while they warmed up in the wood-stove heated cabin at night. It gets so hot up in the loft area at night with the stove going, that the kids can hardly sleep in their 0 degree bags we got them. Guess we better go try them out in some real weather. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Mom and Dad's House. Because we were spread al...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: Motorcycle Riding at Naches
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2015/08/motorcycle-riding-at-naches.html
One big giant party! Thursday, August 6, 2015. Motorcycle Riding at Naches. This weekend of camping was supposed to be fun and fancy free. It was planned so that we could all get some good motorcycling and jeeping in, but apparently the weather didn't care about our plans. It ended up raining all night, and the most annoying part about the whole thing was that it hasn't rained here for practically 2 months. It's been the hottest and driest summer for the Northwest in years! Poor Ainsley, stuck in her car...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: March 2015

One big giant party! Thursday, March 19, 2015. Can't wait for another summer full of these: campfires, hotdogs, smiles and smores. We just need to restock our woodpile. Anybody have some firewood they want to donate? This is Nathan experimenting with his camera. Pre-baby, February Happenings. Took my hair a shade darker, with some highlights. The kids, but mostly Sidney, have been excited about doing some bigger puzzles lately. She's getting pretty good! Using the googly eyes at the library dance. Workin...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: November 2014
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Thursday, November 13, 2014. Taryn trying to do it on her own, go figure. Considering how much we paid for these BIG pumpkins we might have to put a size limit on the kids next year. haha. Hailey made her famous Pecan-Caramel-Chocolate-Oreo crust cheesecake. Mmmmm, I want a piece now! Sidney and Owen's pumpkins. Owen's vampire had a very skinny mouth, so it was hard to see. Tanner's is on the left and Taryn and Nathan's is on the right. Hunting at Bob and Buffy's House. One funny thi...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: April 2014
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Tuesday, April 22, 2014. For Easter we went to G and G Berry's house. We had another Easter egg hunt, ate way too much good food, and all had extreme sugar overdoses.. Community Easter Egg Hunt. Taryn with church friend, Claya. Apparently I got a lot of videos of them egg hunting, but not too many pictures. They all got a lot of eggs, but Tanner was the matchbox toy prize winner when he found a red ticket! And scary; please don't spill, please don't spill. Week of fun winding down.

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: July 2015
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Friday, July 31, 2015. Grand Coulee Dam - Day 2. Hanging out with Taryn in the morning. We made a stop at The Crown Pointe Vista, a viewpoint in which to see the whole area. It was cool because they had designed the lookout to be, and work, as a sundial! The things we do for our kids, and the joys of being a parent. To top off my embarrassment, Ainsley decided to blow out her diaper all over Nate and government car seats.. It was cool to watch some of the movies on how the dam was ...

THE PACKARD PALOOZA: May 2015
http://packardpalooza.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
One big giant party! Tuesday, May 19, 2015. We have a church owned campground about 20 minutes from our house, so its not as big a deal to pack up the car and head out for a Friday night campout. It's close enough that Ainsley, Taryn and I can go home for the night to sleep and for the big kids to get back early enough to play in their sports games on Saturday. We LOVE these water barrel swings. You can easily swing 3 small people at a time! If only I had a big tree in my yard. Thursday, May 14, 2015.
