Mormon Helping Hands

Last Saturday we had an opportunity to participate in "Helping Hands" around the state of California. We beautified and built fences in a local park (well let's be honest I didn't do the fence, but Brian and T did). It was such a beautiful day! T LOVED being outside and helping with all the planting, and fence building. At one point I had my back to him and he grabbed one of the plastic plant pots, pulled the plant out and was putting it into a hole... man he's quite the character somedays. He also was a big help holding posts and cross bars- the guys working on the fence were so nice to let him help, he was just "SO EXCITED!!!!" It was a great day serving the community and getting to know others.

How nice to be able to enjoy some WARM outdoor weather! That's something I think probably doesn't exhist up here anymore. May crew has been doing a lot of projects out in the rain and snow. I've been busy putting the closing show together- hectic, with the kids demanding my attention all the time, but I actually enjoy doing it. We are doing songs from Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor dreamcoat so it should be a lot of fun... I hope!

What a terrific accomplishment! It is so fun to hear that "not so little anymore Ty" is working hard along with his parents and doing what Butlers do best, give back to others! What a great mom you are!!!! Keep it up!
