A VERY Belated Birthday to America

Friday, July 24, 2009

Things have been quite busy here at the Butler home and of course I'm just now getting to our 4th of July post. But have no fear, we had a GREAT day! It started out with some manual labor on Dusty's part. He helped a friend roof their house. Then we went to the park for some good ol’ grilling and homemade ice cream delight. Did I mention that Dusty has become a professional ice cream maker? I might even say his ice cream is better than Blue Bell... that's right I said it.

The day really got fun when our good friends the Pierson's let us go for a ride in their plane. It's an RV7 Acrobatic plane that they built themselves, quite snazzy! It can do flips and rolls, Dusty even did a few himself. And now, as expected, Dusty has been conspiring ways for us to buy our own acrobatic plane, maybe one day honey.

That's right, I made her bow, and pretty darn proud of it!
Of course, the 4th of July wouldn't be complete without some fireworks.....

Samantha's first experience watching fireworks


I think she was alittle surprised, but two minutes after this picture she passed out. She had such an exhausting day the next morning she slept in until 9!!!

Samantha's first incounter with a boy... hold his hand.....

Now pull his hair, boys are yuckie.

Ha Ha, Caleb likes to hold little girls hands too. But he doesn't have enough hair -so he's safe ... for now.
