April 2009 for the Butchers

To start- sorry the pictures are out of order. I'm not a smart blogger. It's been a busy month. It has been really nice weather so we've been outside alot working in the yard and avoiding updating the blog. Last night we drove up to Rexburg-just needed a night out of the big city of IF. We haven't seen the completed Rexburg temple up close since we've been back so we walked around briefly in the frigid wind. It's beautiful though-someday we'll have a chance to do a session...
Here is Hyrum working in the yard. We got a wheelbarrow and Hyrum is so strong he can push it around the yard! (empty of course) Below is Hyrum riding in the wheelbarrow being pushed by daddy.


So fun!

Hyrum is TERRIFIED of the grass. We are working on it. Shoes on-off, doesn't matter-hates grass. He does love to walk on the pavement and play in the dirt and touch the prickily weeds-weird kid. Good thing he's so cute. It's making it hard to get much yardwork done. He also loves to eat the pebbles on our driveway. Whoops!
Hyrum diggin with his dumptruck!
Our big projects right now include figuring out how the sprinklers work and digging a dirt hole for our paverstone patio that we are making. It will be great! We'll take pictures when we're done. I'm also starting a garden which my mom is helping me with because I know nothing. She took us to the nursery today to get some essentials.
We celebrated Easter a week early due to me working all of Easter weekend. Here is a picture of the kids after the Easter egg hunt (Ben's sister's kids). Couldn't get a good picture of all 5 of them looking at the camera at the same time. Good enough for grandma to enjoy though!

Here are the Luke girls (Hyrum's cousins).

Hyrum loved finding the Easter eggs.

Here is him with his Easter duck that quacks annoyingly.

Just one last cute picture of Hyrum-it was obviously a little colder outside.
All in all we're doing well and alive and happy. We've had a few struggles this month but who hasn't! We're grateful for each other and for our small but thriving family!
