Rhett, Meric, Miles and Maddox

Its been a while

2010-05-19T11:35:00.001-07:00

Its been a while since I have posted anything, so I thought I would just put a few pictures of my wonderful boys. We went to the Okefenokee swap a few weeks ago, which everyone loved and we have been playing in our yard a ton, which is awesome.

Miles' hair

2010-02-15T07:37:00.000-08:00

We have since cut Miles hair, but I just had to put this picture of his long beautiful hair on here. I loved his long hair, but it was getting a tad long.

Snow storm

2010-02-15T06:47:00.000-08:00

We had our second snow of the year and had a great time playing outside. Miles kept saying the snow is going to get really big isn't it? We had to tell him it wasn't going to get very big. But the kids had fun even with just the little bit we got. Rhett brought out his snowboard and took a couple of runs down the yard, but mostly it made a great sled for the kids.

Gracie's Birthday

2009-11-25T11:21:00.001-08:00

We made a quick trip to Statesboro for Gracie's birthday party. It was so fun to be all together and Miles loved being with his cousins. It was just a day trip, but luckily they will be here for Thanksgiving.

The Boys

2009-11-13T19:09:00.000-08:00

Miles and Maddox are so stinkin' cute!

We love the fall

2009-11-13T19:01:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful time raking the leaves and jumping in them all afternoon. Miles was a little hesitant at first to actually jump all the way in, but after Rhett through him in a few times he warmed up to playing in them. Maddox didn't love the leaves, but liked playing outside with everyone. Fall has been so beautiful, I am sad to see the leaves go.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-13T18:44:00.000-08:00

Miles LOVED Halloween. Rhett, Miles, Maddox and I were all skeletons. Miles has always had a really hard time putting on costumes, but the skeletons PJ's were right up his alley. Miles loved every minute of trick or treating. Rhett also liked dressing up and really liked painting his face and scaring everyone.

Sea World

2009-11-13T15:48:00.000-08:00

We went to Sea World a couple of weeks ago on a business trip with Rhett. It was so fun! Miles rode his first real rollercoster, which he was at first scared of but loved it at the end. Miles also got a huge splash from Shamu, which made him really mad and still talks about it. But overall, the trip was awesome.

Happy Birthday Maddox!

2009-10-16T17:05:00.000-07:00

Maddox turned one!! Maddox is a wonderful, determined and happy baby. We are so blessed to have him and love to watch him grow. Miles loves having a playing partner and Maddox tries to be just like his big brother.

Catching Up

2009-10-16T16:45:00.000-07:00

I know, I have been a terrible blogger lately. Our computer broke and we finally got a new one, but it has taken me some time to get back to blogging. Since no one really wants to read what I write anyways, I will put a few pictures up from the last couple of months, then will hopefully be back on track to staying up to date! And, if you can't tell, the only way I can Miles to even look towards the camera is to tell him to give 'peace', which is why is has a 'peace' sign in every picture of him.

Just a couple of pictures

2009-08-02T12:49:00.001-07:00

Miles turns 3!!

2009-08-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Miles!!! My baby has turned three! It seems a little sad that he is growing up so fast. I can't believe he is really 3 years old! Rhett said to him the other day 'I don't want you to keep getting bigger, I love you as my little baby' and he says "Sorry Dad, but I'm growing up".
For his birthday he got to pick what he wanted to do and he picked StarWars, his latest favorite thing. So we watched Return of the Jedi, he has seen episodes 3 and 4, but hadn't seen 6. He had a good time and loved getting presents. Happy birthday Miles!

Maddox's GAP tooth

2009-08-02T12:07:00.000-07:00

I know some kids have a gap in between their front two teeth, but I think Maddox has to have the BIGGEST gap I have ever seen. I'm not sure this picture even does it justice. It used to surprise me every time I saw him smile, but now I have gotten used to it and think of how cute it makes him.

2009-07-24T17:46:00.000-07:00

Here are just a few random pictures. Maddox LOVES to eat and will eat anything you give him, but he is rather messy while doing it.

The Beach

2009-07-24T17:31:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th of July at St. Simon's. We had a blast. Since we were only there for the weekend, we wanted to take full advantage of our time there, so we went to the beach ALL day Friday and Saturday, and stayed on the beach for fireworks Saturday night. Miles loved every minute of it. He loved the tide pools and floating in them, skimboarding with Rhett and playing in the sand. Maddox really like eating the sand the best, but he also really like the water. It was a great trip for everyone.

2009-07-24T17:17:00.000-07:00

I just thought these were cute pictures of the boys!

I love summer!

2009-07-02T05:55:00.000-07:00

Miles spends most of his days running through the sprinklers and shooting bad guys. He refuses to wear anything other than basketball shorts. If you try to put on anything other kind of shorts or pants he says 'pants are for church, silly'. He is so funny. The kids love going to the pool and playing in the fort in the back yard. The only problem is all of the bug bites! Miles went outside last night for 5 minutes and came back in covered in bites. On one leg he had 29 bites. His leg looked like one big welt. Last week Maddox's foot got bit so bad! I tried to get some pictures of it, but you can't really see it very well. But overall, summer has been great. We leave today for the beach which will be a blast!

This is Miles 'shooting bad guys'

FUN!

2009-06-10T14:35:00.000-07:00

We had a great night on Monday starting with a trip to the Varsity, which is always a good way to start. Then we headed to the Braves game and everyone had a great time. Miles loved every minute of the game and walking around looking at everything. Maddox slept for a lot of it, but loved looking at everything when he was awake. The whole night was a blast.

SUMMER

2009-06-08T08:24:00.000-07:00

We love summer and going to the pool! Miles and Maddox love swimming. Rhett has moved on from wearing a speedo, but not by much.

The cabin

2009-05-26T08:05:00.000-07:00

We went to the cabin this weekend and it was wonderful! Of course I forgot my camera when we went to the river, but Miles loved throwing rocks in and we all had just relaxing. Maddox loved being outside and is well on his way to crawling. He can scoot backwards and do a little army crawl occasionally. The boys are really growing up.

Rhetts Graduation!

2009-05-26T08:01:00.000-07:00

Rhett finally graduated! He graduated in December and we went back in April for him to walk. He was able to walk with his brother, Ricky. Yay Rhett!

Updates

2009-05-06T16:25:00.000-07:00

I don't have any new pictures to put on, which I know makes it a little boring but there are a lot of people who I told I would update our blog, so I figured I may as well start now. Hopefully soon I will put pictures on.
Maddox has his first tooth come through and his second on the way. He is really getting to seem old and act more like a baby than just a blob, it is really fun. Miles is still adjusting to the move. We tried cutting out his nap so that maybe he would sleep better at night, but mostly he was just really really cranky so he is back to napping. Rhett is starting to cry less everyday too. The move seems to be getting better for him, slowly but surely.
I will try and get our picture uploaded this week and put some on!

Miles' hair

2009-02-04T11:48:00.000-08:00

I cut Miles' hair today for the first time in probably almost a year. I was so sad to see it go. It didn't really bother me that everywhere we went in public everyone called him a girl, but it had started to loose it's body because it was getting too long, so I gave it a trim. Here are some pictures of his wonderful hair before the cut. These bottom two are the 'afters'.

The boys

2009-02-04T11:41:00.000-08:00

Miles and Maddox are so cute together. I thought maybe the fascination of the new baby would wear off for Miles, but it hasn't. He is still loves to hug and kiss Maddox and is so sweet to him. Maddox loves to look at Miles and laugh at him. Miles isn't a huge fan of the slobbery kisses Maddox gives, but he isn't much of a fan of kisses at all.

Sledding

2009-02-04T11:35:00.000-08:00

Sledding up Covered Bridge Canyon is the best sledding in the world! Miles loves the snow.

A little of our Christmas

2009-02-04T10:23:00.000-08:00

Some pictures of the boys

2008-12-10T09:02:00.001-08:00

Go Tech!

2008-12-10T08:59:00.000-08:00

We were so proud to cheer Georgia Tech on their victory against UGA!

Maddox

2008-11-20T12:44:00.000-08:00

Welcome Maddox VanSant Butler to the family. He was born October 13th and weighed 9 lbs 8 oz. Miles is the best big brother in the world and loves to kiss and hug the baby.

Catching Up

2008-11-20T12:24:00.000-08:00

I do realize it's been a very long time since we have posted anything, so here are a few pictures catching up on what we have been doing.

It's a BOY!

2008-05-24T21:32:00.000-07:00

We'll number two is another boy and he is due October 5th. We are so excited to have another boy. I think Miles will be a great older brother and will love having a buddy to pal around with.

Our trip to Georgia

2008-04-23T17:13:00.000-07:00

Miles and I had a wonderful trip to Georgia. Unfortunately Rhett wasn't able to come because of school and work, but Miles sure enjoyed himself. He worshipped Ella while we were there. He has never been so fascinated with anything in his whole little life. He also liked playing balls and in the dirt with Ethan. He still asks to go see them every day that we have been home.
We spent the first weekend we were there in Statesboro with Jesse and Stephanie and that was great also. It was great to see them and Miles and Gracie had a ball. The whole trip was great and we can't wait to go down again.

Here are some fun pictures

2008-04-23T17:09:00.000-07:00

2008-04-23T17:07:00.000-07:00

Miles is such a couch potatoe!

2008-03-25T14:35:00.001-07:00

This is the face Miles makes when you tell him to say 'cheese'.

2008-03-25T14:28:00.000-07:00

Miles and I both got new Easter outfits. Miles wouldn't sit still very well though, so this is the best I could do for a picture. And here is my first shot of my belly.

Easter

2008-03-25T14:25:00.000-07:00

We had a little easter egg hunt for Miles in the back yard. He really liked it and quickly discovered the candy. Now he won't stop asking for 'easter?'.

Miles' breathing treatments

2008-03-20T10:53:00.000-07:00

Miles has been sick this past week and so he has had to use a neubulizer to help him breath. He had a little bit of a hard time at first, but now he knows that he can watch TV if he keeps the mask on, so the other day he put it all together and pretended to load it with his medicine and put the mask on. He can be so funny.

Our trip to Tahoe

2008-03-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

We went to Northstar for the week with the Turners, the Bogarts and the Carrs. We had a wonderful time and Miles loved everyminute of it.

There was a retro ice-skating night and we dressed up and iceskated and ate s'mores by the fire.
The whole trip was awesome.

Miles in his Sunday best

2008-03-14T17:40:00.000-07:00

2008-03-14T17:38:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the Butlers. There is not much new going on in our lives, but we thought we would blog so we can put pictures of Miles up, in particular for Mimi.

I don't know how to make comments by each picture, so here are just some pictures of Miles
