Happy Graduation, Paige!

Today was Paige's Kindergarten Graduation. They put on a concert with some of the songs they learned this year. It was soo funny. I am so proud of Paige. She is really the sweetest kid on Earth. I couldn't have asked for more in a daughter. She is having a really hard time leaving school and her friends since she won't be back next year. But, I know she will have no problem making new friends. I love you Paige. Congratulations.

Life Comes at you Fast

So, I have a big baby. I get that. I wouldn't have it any other way. But, man! Nothing like some lightweights to remind you just how big you are. Look out, Steph. They are only seven months from looking the same ;o). (L-R: Chiara, Lily and Payton)

9 Years and Counting

Even after all this time, Rob still makes my heart flutter! I love you, hon.

They're Here!

They have finally made their grand entrance. The newest members of the Parry family were born this afternoon. Say hello to Payton Blake and Chiara Belle. Stephanie and the girls are doing well and hopefully resting comfortably. Welcome, little ones. We are happy you are here.

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.
