Music to my ears

Nobody in this family knows how to play the piano, but it sure looks like a special little somebody will be learning how to play sometime soon.

I love little fingers!

Pretty hard to reach the keys when your diaper is sagging and your a bit to short, but somehow this little ones determination always wins.

And we mustn't forget Emy's accomplice, Kate and her lovely poses for the camera.

First Step

No more crawling for this little twinkle toes. She's a walker now!

Space Derby

Parker entered the space derby this year in scouts. His rocket took third place! Not too shabby.

Basketball

This year it was my priviledge to coach Grace's Jr. Flash basketball team. It was her first year playing and she had a blast. But, I think that I had more fun than her. Shhh, don't tell Grace.

Grace has a great feel for the court. She is one of the only players who will pass the ball and can see when and where to pass the ball. She has a soft touch that has oodles of potential. I can't wait to see her blossom more and more.... And for me to coach her some more. Is it bad to love living your past sport's star life through your kids? I don't care. I love cheering for my kids and too into the games.

Valentines Day

It's our first Valentines Day at Eaglcrest and we wanted to make sure that we did it in typical Butler style.

I'm not sure which face is scarier, the Pikachu box or Parker.

Monster friendly mail box complete with many happy smiles.

Dang! This girl has the best kissy lips.... Boys, please keep away for a few more years. Thank you.

Lucifer!

Kate has been really enjoying primary lately and has matured quite a bit and will even go to class without being bribed. Whew. One day Kate asked me why Lucifer fought us in heaven. I tried to explain the whole plan and battle to her, but she still was very confused. After a few moments of thinking to myself of how to explain this to her a thought popped into my mind. I asked, "Kate, are you talking about Lucifer the cat?" She said YES and didn't understand why so many spirits would follow him.

Grandma Diane's Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom! The kids wanted to through Granny a tea party complete with dancing, good food and gifts. We love you Grandma!

Yummy fruit Grama!

Grace and Kate made the cupcakes. They were not only delicious, but good looking too!
