Jack's Fourth Birthday

Jack Butler turned four on Sunday, July 17th. What a fun four years it has been and I can hardly believe how fast it has flown by!

We celebrated with a Dinosaur Party Sunday afternoon. He had the best time with his friends and family. He has been planning his party for months now. He was so excited it was finally here!

Guess who Poo-Pooed?

So, I walk into the living room and smell something that stinks. I then hear something behind the sofa. Then I see little man hiding behind the table.

Me: "Daniel, I smell poo poo. Did you poo poo?"
Daniel: "No, not me."
Me: "Are you sure? Because something smells bad."
Daniel: "Not me. Mama poo poo. Mama did it." (followed by lots of giggling)

Well, guess what? It wasn't me!

Playing in the Rain

Friday afternoon and evening we got several hard rain showers. Right before dark it started raining again pretty hard. Georgie asked if they could play in the rain, and since it wasn't lightening or thundering we let them. It was so much fun watching them run, jump and enjoy something as simple as the rain!

Sweet Daniel wouldn't get out in the rain. He finally brought me his raincoat and decided he would watch them from the porch.

He thought and thought about it, and then one persuasive sister finally got him out...

and he loved it!

Oh, how I love these babies!!

Choir Camp: Amazing Grace Race

Last week Georgie attended Choir Camp at First Methodist. They worked so hard all week (9:00 to 3:00 each day) and did such a great job on their performance, The Amazing Grace Race, Thursday evening.

Georgie, Tristan, Elizabeth, Mason and Lauren

Jack loves Mrs. Leslie (the choir director) and always gives her LONG hugs!

Georgie and Taylor

Georgie even had a solo.....

Can't you tell by the smiles on these sweet faces how much fun they had?

Wordless Wednesday

Swimming with the Holleys

John and Robin invited us over to swim Saturday afternoon. The kids had so much fun (and we did too)! Thanks to the Holley's for a fun afternoon!

Papa's Little Helper

Saturday my dad came and installed thresholds in the doorways from where we installed new tile last fall. Jack was very eager to be Papa's helper. He went and got his tool box and "helped" Papa saw and drill. Maybe Jack will get a 1/10 of my dad's woodworking talent....I sure hope so because I need someone handy at our house!
