Valentine's Day!

We had such a fun V-day! All the babies came over and we had our Valentine boxes where we exchanged Valentines and received some keep sake gifts. I purchased "Love fortune cookies" and the fortune inside said, "God's sweet angel."

For lunch, we enjoyed Chicken Salad on Crouissants, Pink Lemonade, Chips and hot sauce, Amanda's Spinach Dip in a bread bowl with wheat thins, Coconut Cup Cakes, and Taren's Chocolate Fondue with pretzel sticks! The kids played around and we got some pics of all of them together!

Last night, we went to two packed restaurants, so we then headed to El Chico. I think we waited 5 minutes! I wasn't wanting Mexican, but that was o.k.! I just got to sit next to my hubby and hold hands. That's all I wanted!

The last pics are Macey swinging at her Nana's and PeePaws. We're going to try and head out to the park this afternoon!

I'm now looking forward to the MAVS game on Saturday, my 30th b-day in March and SPRING BREAK!!!!!!

If you're off tomorrow, enjoy your day!
Have a great week!

Smilebox

I'm trying to play around with "Smilebox." Why there's a play button, I don't know. I'm in a "crafty" mood today, so I'm trying to design some Valentine Cards, etc. I have a window open in our computer room and it feels so great outside. It's just me and the baby today and I love our days of peace and quiet and a little bit of relaxation.

On another note, this week has been terrible! We got the "Howry" virus, and Macey vomitted 2 times on Tuesday and I soon got it, and now D has been battling it as well. I'm so glad to be feeling better again. Right now, I'm "lysol"ing EVERYTHING! Door knobs, cell phone, key board, refrigerator door, toys, toilets, etc. I am NOT having this again!

LYSOL is the name, KILLING GERMS is the game!
Pics coming soon.

8 months/Weekend.

Just a couple of days ago, we were iced in and school was cancelled. Today, it's 71 degrees outside!

We've had some much needed family time this weekend! On Friday, Macey turned 8 months! We also met up with Aunt Taren and Cam for a delicious thai meal! Derrick took the girls to see a movie, and we hung out with our best buddies! The girls did so well while Taren and I ordered:
California Roll
Ginger Salad
Panang Curry w/Chicken, Spinach, and Brocolli w/a side of steamed rice! YUM!!
We then walked over to Hobby Lobby and did some shopping. We ran into Nana and Peepaw and said hi! It was a good night!

Saturday, Macey and I met daddy D for a hamburger inside of Dickeys. Daddy had to mow a customer's yard, so me and Mace then headed home for a nap. For dinner, (I swear I'm half Asian,) we went to our favorite (again, a weekly thing :) Edohana for:
Miso Soup
Ginger Salad
California Roll (no cucumbers :)
D-Call Me Devil Roll- (california roll w/ Salmon & hot and spicy sauce drizzled over)
AND a side of hibachi noodles! YUM YUM YUM!

Today, me and baby girl are alone, so we're going over to Nana and PeePaws to hang out and watch the superbowl commercials!

Have a good week! Aunt Taren's b-day is this Saturday and Valentines is the next weekend!

God bless!

3 Teeth and Da-Da

I forgot to mention in my last post that my piggy has 3 teeth coming in! She now bites the spoon and latches on to it when I feed her. I have to pull on the spoon while she's laughing and won't let me pull it out!

Top tooth!


2 bottom teeth!


My first video posting!
Here's my little piggy "whispering" da-da. She says it all the time, but strolls around whispering it all the time too. She's also started a "head nodding" thing. She puts her head down and nods. Any insight? :)

Birthday Fun and Independence

On the 30th, (Friday,) my baby girl is turning 8 months! She's standing on her own, trying to give herself a bottle, saying "dadadada," and so much more!

Looking back on the weekend, Friday, we celebrated Camdyn's church dedication. I got some pics of the girls with their bows on too! Miss Cam Cam looked so pretty in her brown velvet! We hung out at Taren's afterwards and had some great snack foods. The girls were up until 9:30!

On Saturday, we had our first b-day party! We went to Emma's grandparents for her
1st b-day! The girls hung out together and we watched Emma open her gifts! We gave her a cute rainbow onesie from Target "boutique" and a super cute backpack that has her name on it! It was so much fun! Emma's tutu looked just like cotton candy!

The last pics are Macey hanging around the house with her walker. She takes slow steps, but she's getting the hang of it. She was also looking at the pic on the fireplace of her and her "dadadadada."

Lastly, I'm so happy to see baby Harper's eyes open. I can't imagine the pain that Kelly and her family have gone through. I praise God that he's given me a healthy baby and I pray that Kelly, her husband, and Harper get to go home soon.

Have a great remainder of the week. Be careful outside, it's slick!

BaaBoo


Camdyn's Dedication





B-DAY PARTY!










Around the house....

New Toy!

Because Macey loves to pull up and stand on everything now, we went out and bought
her this walker/stroller to help her learn to walk. She's a little timid with it still, but she's starting to pull her feet forward when her arms are extended out, about to fall! Poor thing struggles, goes up on her toes, and moves a leg.

It's been a little boring around the Butler household, but boring is good! We haven't been doing much lately, just eating out on the weekends and enjoying our time at home. We have a fire quite often now, so Macey loves to pull on Derrick while he's tending to it.

That's about it. I'm home for the holiday on Monday and then we have Cam's dedication on Friday and Emma's 1st b-day on Saturday! Next month, the babies get to play together again for a Valentine exchange on the 14th.

Have a good weekend!
