Happy 85th Great Grandma!

Last weekend we headed to Iowa to celebrate Great Grandma Butcher's 85th birthday. Well, we headed down twice. I started driving and mother nature had other plans. As I was driving southwest, a band of BAD storms was coming northeast and every town I was about to pass through was getting tornado warnings. So, I opted to head back home and try later. This is Ethan's reaction when I pulled into the garage- NO IOWA was what he was screaming!
 
 It was great to spend so much time with great grandma. We had lots of food, laughs, and fun! Here is a a series of pictures for the birthday gal. A HUGE challenge with 4 under 4! You had to be there, but we were all laughing so hard at these little ones and their personalities!

We had a great time celebrating all weekend with great grandma! We enjoyed serving coffee and rolls at coffee hour after church too! She is such a special lady to so many people, I can only hope to be as great as a person she is! Glad I have her blood flowing through me!
 Love you grandma!

Farm Fun.......
 BLUE CONES! Ethan had a special blue ice cream cone. Was so excited about it he couldn't even sit still.

Then he had to put on a show with his undies while his bath was getting ready.

 Resting with grandpa.
 Doing whatever grandpa did.
 Listening to instructions.
 He caught right on with how to use his stick to move the pigs.
 Some action videos!

Then came some fun exciting Butcher news.....
Yep, that is Ben and Bri making an BIG announcement. It's proudly hanging on our fridge!Yep, 2 baby Butcher's due within 2 months and will grow up  2/10 of a mile from each other! How fun!
