San Diego Zoo

For the past two weeks Colin has been completing his annual training for the Marine Reserves. One of the perks for being a Marine is getting in to many of the San Diego Parks for free. He has Fridays off, so we decided to take advantage of the opportunity, and we spent the day at the zoo. The weather was perfect...it even rained on us while in the rain forest! Hailey loved every bit of the park, and didn't want to leave!!

Hailey spent pretty much the entire day on Daddy's shoulders

Open Wide

Today Hailey visited the dentist for her first time. I really wasn't sure how the visit would turn out, but Hailey did an amazing job! She was very calm and did whatever was asked of her. I really can't believe she did so well! We were very fortunate to have our friend, Melissa, clean her teeth. Melissa walked Hailey through each step and in the end gave her white teeth like a princess!!

Fix-It

The past month at the Packer home has been full of fix-its. First, our computer crashed with all of our pictures that had not yet been printed. We are still working with a company who is trying to retrieve those priceless memories. Next, our refrigerator decided to die. I had wanted a new fridge, but it wasn't a necessity. Our most recent fix-it was a hot water leak under our foundation!! What fun!! Did I mention this all happened in one month????

Daddy had to tear out some of our new tile and concrete :(

Look at that pipe!!! How did it last for so long??

While Daddy worked I had to keep Hailey and cousin Landon busy with....

Dress up....Buzz and Snow White
