Happy Birthday, Robbie!

Today is the big 35 for Rob. I just wanted to wish him a very Happy Birthday! He is such a wonderful husband, father, brother, son and person. The kiddies and I adore him and hope he has a great day. We love you!

Keeping the Tooth Fairy in Business

Paige has had three reeaally loose teeth for about two months now. We have tried many times to pull at least one of them. But, she wouldn't let us near her mouth. Even Uncle Blake, the dentist, tried. But when ever you would get near her mouth, she would curl her lip, leaving little to no access. On Thursday she came home from school and told me that her top tooth started hurting, so I looked and it was just hanging on by a thread. So, during dinner we were commenting on how loose it was and ...pop...out it comes. She was so excited. About an hour later, she was brushing her teeth and ...pop...out comes another! I couldn't believe it. What are the chances of two teeth falling out in one night. She was very excited and the Tooth Fairy was kind to her. So the next night rolls around and suddenly she ran to the bathroom out of the blue. She comes out to show me how loose her third and final tooth was. (It was literally hanging by a thread.) And no sooner than I said maybe it will fall out when she brushes her teeth, then ...pop... out it comes! I think it has to be some kind of family record. The Tooth Fairy visited one more time and is currently resting from her frequent trips to the Parry house. Oh...and Paige is now richer than her Mom and Dad put together. Thanks Tooth Fairy and Grandpa Butler! ;o) Oh..and Jill, too.

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.
