A lot has happened the past month! Lots of exciting things! First off, Grant and I are super excited to announce that our family of two will be growing to a family of three in about 5 1/2 short months! And that is no April Fools joke either! We are both super delighted and can't wait to welcome little baby Butler into our home at the end of September! My little belly has "popped" and Grant thinks its so fun to rub it and pat it(I concur).

In other news, Grant and I are both super happy that the weather is getting so nice! We have started getting our yard ready for spring/summer! We already have some of the plants sprouting up and adding some color to our yard! The previous owners of our house did an awesome job at landscaping the yard and it has definitely kept Grant and I busy the past couple weekends!
 |
| I am so loving these tulips! We have about 7 spread out around our yard. Last year I didn't realize what they were until they froze and died! So this year I made sure to watch them and keep them alive! |
 |
| I LOVE the green! We need to put some more dirt down- the wind and weather has thrown it all around! |
I also planted a few veggies and they have sprouted! When it gets warmer out, I'll transplant them all outside! I've never done a garden before, so this is a new learning experience! It will be so rewarding to eat the food I planted and grew!
 |
| My cute little plants! They are a little droopy from transplanting so hopefully they will perk up soon! I am most excited about the tomatoes and cantaloup! |
Grant has been getting antsy about boating season! Every chance he gets, he is out firing up the boat and making sure the trailer lights are working so that when the time comes, we can hitch the boat up and get on the lake! They drained High Line Lake this winter, so we are trying to patiently wait for it to get filled back up! It won't be warm enough to wake board or tube for a few months, but we love to just drive the boat around and be out on the water!
The Butler Hotel has been in full swing the past few weeks! My parents' house flooded due to a cracked water line that fills an instant hot water heater under their sink. My mom came home to about 2 inches of water almost covering their entire house and garage! So, while the fixer-upper guys are out there drying and replacing all of their hard wood floors and carpet, they get to stay at our house! We are sad their house is torn apart, but Grant and I are so loving the extra company! We love that our bedrooms are filled and our walls are echoing with loud noises from my younger siblings! Our washer, dryer, dishwasher, and water heater are happy to be used lots too! We really are enjoying it-maybe too much;) Grant taught my younger brothers the REAL way to play Monopoly also(we always just play the version we kind of made up), so they will spend hours downstairs playing! Winnie (our dog) is loving the extra people to chase around and play with also! It's been a fun few weeks for sure! Especially since they will be moving away soon!
I also had spring break last week, so I went and spent a few days up in Greeley with my sister, brother in law, and niece! It was super fun! I got to spend lots of quality time with them and was able to keep Camille entertained while mommy and daddy slept in a few more minutes!
