Brand New Baby!

We welcomed Seamus (Shay-mus) William Butler to the world on Friday, March 19, 2010 at 4:10pm! He weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair (curly when it is wet, straight when dry) and he is so easy going! He barely cries, even when he is hungry he waits patiently for the most part. It is so much fun having him here, and we all love our little buckaroo so much!


He looks so tiny in his car seat!

Baby James

We love babysitting little James every morning for Carmen & Ryan! He is such a joy to us, and is such a great baby! He is always such a happy baby and brings sunshine to everyone he meets. Carmen & Ryan are doing an amazing job of raising him, despite their busy schedules. They are such good parents for him, and I truly admire them :) Here are just a few pictures of our little adventures with him :)


He loves sleeping with his little frog friend...so adorable!


Ryan's sister, Jenny, got this awesome hat for him at Christmas :)


He LOVED trying to get the balloon down. We tied it to his arm so it would move when he moved. Good times :)


Our girls are getting practice having a baby brother, and they love it! James has been a really good sport whenever they want to hold him.


Sammy has been such a great help while I've been pregnant, and I know both Sammy and Constance will be really great big sisters to baby Seamus when he comes.

Boise visit

We recently got to visit Boise to see friends and family. We got to spend time with Helen and Allie and their little families, and we also got to celebrate my brother, Glen's, birthday! We enjoyed staying at Glen & Kathy's place and our kids had a blast :) We got to see Jarom & Corinne and Shem & Reilly and had a really good visit with them, too! I'm amazed at all the great things my brothers are up to, and I'm so happy that they are all so close to being finished with school! We unfortunately didn't get any pictures other than these, but we had a great time visiting all you great Boiseans.


Helen and I are due 1 month apart, and we are both pregnant with our first boys :)


Our families match! 2 girls and boys on the way!

Constance's Birthday!

Constance had a great birthday! She had her cousins over and got to have her Cinderella cake that Jeremy made for her, and then she got some fun presents from Mommy and Daddy. She got some ballet slippers, a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse camera, and a microphone since she is becoming such a great singer! :)
