A Day in the Life of The Butler's: November 2014

Hey Everyone!

We are still rocking over here at the Butler household! WOO WOO! It's been so long since I've blogged but I'm going to do my best to pick it back up again.

This year Cade started teaching theatre at Independence High School in Frisco and I am in my first year as a librarian at Homestead Elementary in Lewisville. We are both LOVING our new adventures and are learning a lot.

Enough of the boring stuff, I know the real reason any one reads this blog is to hear about the girls. :) They are just a hoot. Lyla is 2 years and a half years old and Ava is 1 year old. We are really starting to see their relationship bloom... into a small battle. Ha! Its innocent and hilarious to watch. Lyla has quite the adventure trying to keep every. single. toy. in the house away from Ava. We hear a lot of "No no Ava, that's Lyla's" these days. Hey, there's a learning curve for everything, right?

Here are the highlights:

Ava:

You love to follow Lyla around. You think she is so funny. :)
You can eat every person in this house under the table. The only thing you aren't a fan of is an apple.
You took your first steps when you were 10 months old... and I promptly set you down. :) Unfortunately, that didn't stop you. Now, you are on the MOVE!
You love your family and your nanny dearly.
You also can't do dairy very well. Right now you drink soy milk.
You can bust a move with the best of them! You LOVE to dance!
Blonde! You've got blonde hair. I thought it would change as it grew in but, it's still very light!

Lyla:

Oh. My. Gosh. I spend the majority of my day laughing with you.
You only refer to yourself in third person. "Lyla goes potty" or "Lyla watch Mickey Mouse"
You are OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse, Curious George, and Frozen.
SMART! Girl!! You count, can read lots and lots of words, you can speak spanish, and are working on writing your name. We are completely amazed with how much you know and continue to grow. We can thank your teacher and nanny for that. :)
We are currently practicing how to use the big girl potty.
You like to call your daddy "Cade" sometimes. Haha. He just loveeees that.
Favorite thing: Fruit snacks.

A few weeks ago, we had some family pictures taken by our family's favorite photographer, Milano Photography! Wanted to share. I mean, prepare yourself. The cuteness of our girls is darn near unbearable.
