Camping at Dinkey Creek

Brian and I love camping and now Ty does also. It's just a wonderful time that we can relax eat GOOD food, and let the stress go. We asked the rest of the Butler clan to join us at Dinkey Creek. It was a favorite place of Brian's from his scout days. We had lots of fun going down the rock slides into the pools of water. Ty even decided that he liked the slide.... we couldn't get him to leave. We had to pick him him up and carry him kicking and screaming. He loved the dirt, water, bugs, fire, hotdogs (ate 3 one night) and zipping and unzipping the tent. (Brutus affectionately known as "Tus" now even let Ty "walk" him... well actually it was more of a tug of war between where Ty wanted to go and Brutus wanted to go)

Brian's tile job

A family in our ward here in El Dorado needed some tile work done and asked Brian if wanted a side tile job... of course still being un-employeed he jumped on the opportunity. This was the final product of his and his wonderful amazing super hard working assistant Katie... (can you tell who is writing this..)

Hiking

Dad decided that he wanted to go hiking at least once a week with Mom, me and the puppies. I had lots of fun with my own camelback. Every once in a while I would get some cold water in my mouth and spit it on dad's back. Mom thought that was great.. good thing it was hot and it felt good. I also loved walking my puppies. Tank was a bit much for me but Harley let me drag him around!

Fountains

We were in Sacramento for some errands and decided to take Ty to see these fountains. He had so much fun running through the water. They were pretty fun to watch and then Ty just made them hilarious! (Sorry it's a bit shakey...)

Play Time

I really love to swim and now some of our neighbors have a pool that i can go to any time i want. I have also recently learned to give high-5 as you can see me practice with my new friend Eliza, I'm just using her for her pool but don't tell her that :)

Papa's Boots

I like to wear everyone else's shoes including Papa Joe's work boots. Daddy likes to help me becaus out because he thinks it is funny and i get mad when i have to do it by myself.

My new haircut

While my mom was gone for two weeks dad thought it would be a good idea to cut my hair while no one could stop him and this is how good i look with short hair
