We just can't believe how well our garden did this year. We think it's Grandpa's magic box. He must have sprinkled some magic when he built the garden box. Adam loves to go out and pick the tomatoes. Today he was so funny when we found the zucchini. He said, "Mom that is a huge one!" 
Well after 19 years here we are again standing outside the St. George Temple, except this time with our 4 prize possessions. 
My new favorite picture
Okay I know this is a little late but once again something has been up with my computer. Everybody kind of had a little different reaction to the first day of school.
Ryan- Junior
Kasey-6th grade
Jacob-3rd grade
Adam-very sad that everyone left

Wow I can't believe that we are in the last few weeks of summer. Life has been busy around our house with gymnastics, football and Jeff's video game. We didn't get to take a summer vacation this year so the kids are making their own fun. Adam's favorite thing to do is jump on the trampoline. I know Grandma will love that. :) We did take the kids to Salt Lake last weekend. That was super fun! We stayed at Little America so we could be close to Jeff's work. We did a lot of swimming, bowling, putt-putt, a tour of the conference center, walked thru temple square, and tried out some new restaurants. Jacob and Kasey got to officially test the new video game. They both did a great job. Jacob was pretty excited that he was able to beat the levels before the other kids.
Wow, a long time since I last blogged. Thought I would share some of our summer so far. Jacob has been excited to learn how to mow the grass so Jeff let him take charge. (Ryan is excited about that too). I can't believe he is that old to start doing that. Jacob was also baptized. We are so proud of him. Thanks for all those that joined us. He also went to his first scout camp today. Kasey's gymnastics team competed at the Summer Games in Cedar City. She did awesome. I have decided I want to have her muscles. Kasey always likes to get a creamy after gymnastics. One day she bought Adam one too. He was pretty proud of himself. Every once in awhile, Ryan and Jeff get into their "who is stronger" mode. I'm not sure if it is for Ryan to see if he can beat his dad yet or Jeff just trying to make sure that he stays young. Any case I caught that on tape. Hope everyone is having a great summer. We are looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July, one of our favorite holidays.
Well since my last post was when we didn't know whether the Butlers were having a girl or boy, I thought I had better get on it. These are just a few pictures from our trip to Moab. It's taken me awhile to get them posted. On the way down Adam kept looking for "Mack" from Cars, so that's why we took the picture of all the semi-trucks. The hike was gorgeous. The best part was watching the kids go down the slide, especially Adam. He loved it and kept wanting to go again and again. Thank heavens for big brothers.
