Recap of February

Happy 4th Birthday Madeline!!!



Maddy turned 4 on February 2nd. I cannot not believe she is so big! We had a great evening. Her birthday was on a Tuesday night, which is stake meetings night so we had about an hour to have dinner and a party before Scott had to leave. Madeline was fine with that because once her presents were opened all she wanted to do was play! You gotta love how easy she is to please.


Scott brought pizza home for dinner..

I made a make shift cake out of the leftover cupcakes she took to preschool...

Maddy LOVED her princess dress she got from her Grandma...

...And Haley loved playing with the new pony house she got. It was a great day!! We love Missy Moo! She is our little princess. She loves to dress up, put on makeup, and play in Mom's jewelry box. She has a great sense of humor and loves to be teased. She is a wonderful addition to our family!


POLAR SWIM

One day Scotty had the Butler boys over to play and they decide that they want to jump in the pool. Yes, Las Vegas is much warmer than the rest of the country, but it is February still and it was an over cast and fairly cold day. So they get their swim suits on and jump in. The videos tell the rest of the story. I had to laugh because my 6 year old was taunting and pressuring a 12 year old to jump in the pool! Scotty is one fearless kid and I love his spunk and excitement for life!

Valentines Day!

We had a great Valentines day! The kids had fun making their valentines and their boxes to take to school. Scotty and Haley both had school parties that I was able to attend. For some reason this month I did not have my camera on me and so I have very few pictures. This is Haley and Scotty separating and trading their Valentines candy.
Scott and I decided to have a Valentines party at our house with some friends. This is the only picture I have of the party. Me, Laura, and Kristen. We took this after most people had left. They are two of my favorite people. We had about 12 couples, we ate dinner, played the newlywed game and laughed our heads off. It was so much fun. We will definitely be having another party soon. Scott's sister Angela came for the weekend and we could not have pulled it off with out her help. She helped us get everything ready and then took the kids to dinner and a movie that night. We love you Angela!

Since we were having a party, Haley talked me into letting her have a party for her friends as well. Scotty felt left out so I invited a friend over for him during Haley's party. They had a great time, however it made for a busy week!

A Night Out
Scott and I got to escape one Friday to go to dinner and the movies. We saw Avatar and LOVED it! Anyway, we came home to this. Our cute babysitter McKayla helped the kids cut out and decorate all these hearts and puppets so they could heart attack our door! They had so much fun! Gotta love a good babysitter!


Bathroom


I finished painting the wainscot we put up in our bathroom. Scott put up hooks for each of the kids and I bought them each their own towel in different colors. This was so they would not get upset if somebody else used the towel before them. Haley is really the only one who cares, but she will not use a towel if she thinks her brother as much as breathed on it. My mom was kind enough to embroider their names on their towels as well. I love the colors and think it looks cute. Notice the hooks. I got cute girly ones for the girls and put up a plain manly one for Scotty. One more thing knocked off our list!


Fireplace
Scott made some more progress on the fireplace. He covered the small tiles that I did not like with leftover wainscot from the bathroom. Next we need to paint!
