Oh...Just So You Know --

Oh....Just so you know --
Miss Mia loves dogs! She actually quite likes all animals. This is the cutest little picture of her loving Zeke. She also loves posing for the camera, so when she sees me with the camera, the expressions just get better and better! Zeke is a pretty good model, as well. It is quite a miracle if you happen to know any history about the Buti's and animals. I think Ellie is getting a lamb for a 4-H project, so maybe they will all grow to love animals. You do have to admit, this is a darn cute little girl!
Oh...just so you know --Sunday was a beautiful
day! We had Stake Conference and it was a really good meeting. We were all on the same schedule, so we were able to have dinner together. After dinner, Allen and Patrice put Evan on the four-wheeler to take him to see the cows and calvies prior to going with Grandpa. They said they wanted him to get used to the cows before Grandpa had him on the tractor and called him a bawl baby. Yes -- he does have on a HOT PINK jacket! He didn't have a jacket and Aunt Billie Jo offered the "Princess" hot pink jacket. I warned Allen that I would put the pictures on the blog. He said he had been raised with sisters and was
just fine with Evan in a pink jacket. So, do real men wear pink? Check it out and see what you think! Evan quite likes Aunt Billie Jo and they were having such a good time playing. I loved this little picture, as it shows his two front teeth. He can say, "ma ma." and "Da da." He can blow blubbles and make all sorts of sounds! He is a pretty fast crawler and takes after his Dad and Aunt Olivia when it comes to mashed potatoes and gravy! He quite liked dresesing and yams too!


Here is Mr. Evan in his "Princess" jacket, watching the girls ride their bikes. He thought the trip outside without being in his car seat was pretty good.









Here comes cool Ellie Jo -- riding with one hand! When she comes to a stop, it can't just be a stop--it has to be slam on the brakes and SKID True McNeil for ya! What do you think Tim thinks of his daughter's driving skills?








Little Miss Mia has to be as big as the other two girls. It is quite difficult to ride a tricycle as fast as a two-wheel bike, but she gives it her best shot!









Here was the big surprise of the day! When Tess came to the house, she announced she had a surprise for us. She made us close our eyes and walk out of the house backwards so we would be surprised when we turned around! We obeyed her commands and -- wal..la...! Here is our little Tess turning in to a big, independent girl! She can whiz pretty fast up and down the driveway and seems like she has been riding her two-wheeler for more than a day! Doesn't she look big?

Oh..just so you know -- the week was filled with even more than just these fun and games! Monday afternoon when I got up to Dad's -- he was sitting (kind of) at the kitchen table, slighty greenish/grey color and having a hard time breathing! I ran over and asked him if he was having a heart attack or a blood clot (we've been through these enough -- he knows!) He said it wasn't either, but he didn't know -- his ribs were really hurting! I asked him if he would like to go to the doctor and he said yes -- which tells you how much he must have been hurting! Earl was at work, so I called Bill to drive us to Park City. Rob hopped in the car and Jo met us in Kamas and off we went! Well, the final analysis after x-rays and exams was that he had cracked his ribs. The doctor also gave him a breathing treatment. She sent him home on the albuterol breathing treatments and a Z pack and orders to get in his recliner and relax for a week! He has been a good patient and obeyed and feels much better! One just never knows how much fun can be had in a short week!
