Gavin: "Stop following me" (as he is walking into his bedroom)
Gavin: (as he is walking back into the living room and looking behind him as he walks) "Stop following me, okay?"
Me:" Gavin, who's following you?"
Gavin: "The flamingo's are following me mom"

Butikofer Family Reunion
This years theme was American Revolution, half of us were Red Coats and half were blue coats. Cody and I just happened to be on opposing teams. We had our annual dinner. This year we had very delicious stew with yummy roles and of course homemade root beer. Costumes were worn, pictures were taken and everyone left happy with full bellies. Here are some pictures of our crazy week. Enjoy!
P.S. Next year's theme is Butikofer's at Woodstock or as we refer to it: Buti-Stock! It's gonna be AWESOME!!!

Four Days of the 4th of July
It use to be that the 4th of July was celebrated on the 4th of July, but I guess times have changed and it can be celebrated on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th AND 5th of July which was fine with us because we had an extra long and extra fun weekend. But seriously all joking aside the 4th of July is my favorite holiday and here are a few reasons:
-The weather (for the most part) is perfect
-I love the music (I miss you Wayne Richards)
-Great food and fun
-You get to spend time with your family
-Lots of parades, candy and chocolate milk
-Red, White & Blue
-I love how everyone stands and claps when the veterans floats go by, it brings tears to my eyes
-But the best part is everyone gets along because for one day of the year it doesn't matter what creed or color you are, your social economic status or even your political status because on this one day we are all united as AMERICANS!!!

FRIDAY, JULY 2ND = LAVA HOT SPINGS
Gavin loved the "yellow slide" and spent most of the time on it except
when he was watching us go down the bigger slides in the background

He got brave towards the end and didn't need us waiting at the bottom of the slide

This was the 1930's ladder truck Gavin got to see when we stopped at the fire station.
They had it out in the street washing it and getting it ready for the parades

Madisen and Grandma-She's not sure if she likes her new back yard!
They just moved in last weekend so they don't have a lawn yet

Even though it strictly says NOT to hold the Roman Candles in your hands while shooting them off here are an entire group of grown adults just waiting to get their hands blown off
