Update on the packards





Pictures-Lexi let me paint her toe nails, and she was fascinated by it, Lexi and Daniel playing in the crib, Lexi's evil face, and Lexi hiding under the desk reading.

This week has been kind of busy. On Monday we went and looked at our first pick of houses, but we didn't find any we were to overly impressed with. We did round two on Thursday, and found a 3 bed 2 bath in Sugar City that was small, but really cute. We wanted to see it again on Friday morning, and then make an offer on it, but later that day our realtor called and told us that just hours before the house received an accepted offer! The house had been on the market for over 6 months...what are the odds! Needless to say there was quite a few tears (mostly from Justin..jk) but I finally came to the realization that the house was meant for another family. So yesterday at the insistence of Justin, we went to see a small manufactured home on three acres with the idea that we would live in that house until we could sub divide the land, and build a house of our own. I was really not interested in a manufactured home...no offense but they just feel like a trailer to me. Anyway, we went and looked at it and of course...no thanks. Then our realtor suggested we take another look at one of the houses that we checked out on our first day of house looking. So we went back with an open mind and realized that the house really has a lot of potential. With a few updates the house can be worth quite a bit more when we want to sell it in 6-8 years. Anyway, it has only been on the market for 2 weeks, so we are going to put an offer on it on Monday (if it doesn't get sold before then) and if we don't get the house, then we will consider building. If we build we will have to live in a much smaller place, but it will be new at least. The house we want to make an offer on is 5 bed and 2 bath, so we would have plenty of room to grow, and its actually only about a mile from where we are now. So wish us luck on the offer! As for other events we have just kept really busy with gym stuff, which is always fun, and also Justin's parents are moving back to Rigby this summer! It will be fun having them close again, Lexi misses her grandma. As for miss Lexi she is growing up so fast and she is soo cute. She has a strange obsession with toilet paper. I can't keep her away from it! She likes to rip it in tiny peices, and then eat it, it's so weird. The other day at the gym, I got to take care of one of our coach's babies for about an hour, and she is 3 months old, so her and lexi are about 10 1/2 months apart. Lexi loved her, and she wasn't jealous at all, which was good, hopefully she maintains that mentality when we have baby number 2! (not announcing anything, just saying) Anyway, that's what is new with us.

    It's so fun to watch you grow up. I know, you've been an "adult" for a few years... but you're still the baby of the fam so it's a weird concept to the rest of us! :) Hope everything works out with the house... which one is it???
