Gilbert Arizona Temple Site

How bittersweet it was to hear the church announce a new temple to be built right here, in Gilbert. It is definitely needed and will be very well attended. I'm just a little sad that we won't be here to see it come to fruition. The site is literally 15 minutes away from where we live. (Greenfield X Pecos) I have been blessed to always live so close to one or more temples, but once we move, our temple will be 2+ hours away. I urge those that can attend the temple so easily, to do so. Don't take that blessing for granted, as I have.

6 Months of Monkey

Lily turned six months on the 24th. She had her appointment today and she is still a big one!

Height: 28" (99%)

Weight: 20lbs (99%)

She is such a sweet baby. We love how she sucks in her bottom lip and stares at you with her blue eyes. She loves to put everything in her mouth to test out her two new teeth. She would rather be awake watching everyone around her than take a single nap. She adores Paige and Caleb and loves to laugh at their silliness. I can't believe how fast 6 months have gone. She brings nothing but love and we are so happy that she is part of our family.

April Fun

I know..I know. It has been ages since I posted. That's life with a baby, toddler and kindergartener. Grandma and Grandpa Butler were here last week for Spring Break. The kids had a blast. Paige and Rob even got to play hooky and go to the Zoo with all of us. It was great fun and to quote Caleb, "I miss them so much".

Favorite Past Time

Lily's new favorite thing to do is spit. She can work up a pretty good dribble...

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Today Paige's school is celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss. (Technically his birthday was yesterday.) In honor of him, her school is having a special day with stories and games. And the best part....they get to wear Pajamas to school!!! It was all the kids could talk about in our Primary class yesterday. Paige has been talking about it for a week, too. Oh, to be a kid again.

I'm a Big Kid Now

Lily had her 4 month appointment today. She weighed 16lbs 13oz (97%) and she was 26.5" long (99%)! Yep, she's a big one. She certainly belongs in this family.

4 Months Cute!

Lily is four months old today. I can't believe how fast time has gone! She is a very sweet baby, which makes life very easy for Mom and Dad. Four months is a milestone. It is a welcome to solid food. She likes it so far and I am sure that it will only add to her sweetness. (She is very sweet, especially on her munchy legs.) We all love her and are very glad she is part of our family. Happy 4 months, Munchkin!
