Nurse Julia

Julia and I played Nurse and Hospital all week. It all started with us reading the book Nurse Nancy. We bought a medical kit and made the outfit and hat. We had band aids, medication (cheerios) and a cell phone for the ambulance to call. We set up a hospital with the babies and baby bed and the shopping cart was the ambulance. Everyday when she goes home, I have to get all the band aides off all the furniture.

Who knows what she will think of next?

Pinkalicious was Pinkatastic

Today we went to see the play Pinkalicious by Ohlook Performing Arts. Lily, Julia's cousin came with us. The girls loved it.

Julia met the main character Pinkalicious and had her book signed by her. Julia said her favorite part was the pink hair. She loved having her Aunt Jamie, Lily and Mimi with us.

July at the Splashpad

Today we went to a neighborhood splashpad located in Roanoke where my sister, Elizabeth lives. Elizabeth, Lauren, and Moote joined Julia, Valerie and me. Valerie, Moote and Julia were all over the place. I had a hard time getting them to sit still for a picture. This is the best I could do.

Julia and Valerie love their Lauren.

Julia's favorite thing today was squirting me with the alligator gun located behind her.

Valerie just loved it all. In this picture she is sitting watching buckets fill up with water and then spill out.

We loved spending time with Moote while he was here visiting with Elizabeth. He calls her Ya which is the Thai word for grandma.

Swimming with Lily and Cooper

Julia's cousins, Lily and Cooper, came over to go swimming with us today. It was so much fun to watch them play together. Lily is a little fish and Julia loves to be just like Lily. We now have to buy strawberry ice cream because it is Lily's favorite.

Giggle Giggle Quack

Today Angela, Julia and I went to the Dallas Childrens Theater to see Giggle Giggle Quack. Farmer Brown, Hen, Pig, Cow and Duck were very entertaining. In Julia's words "Duck was trouble." It was really good. Jillian Montemayor was there with her Mom and Nanna. We all sat together and had a great time.

Zoo with Cayson

Julia and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo today with Cayson and Susan.

Julia was really surprised when the birds were very friendly and landed right on her stick.

Cousins and Their Family

There are 5 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren on the Butts' side of our family. This is a very rare occurance that they are all together at the same time. It was Kate's birthday and Kanna had us all over. Thanks Kate for having us over to your birthday. Uncle David and I enjoyed seeing all the children together.
