4th of July '09

I neglected to post about the 4th of July. It was such a blast, spent in Huntsville with the Buttars fam. I absolutely adore the Buttars family, and I love their hometown of Huntsville, aka paradise, so I couldn't have asked for a better 4th of July. Our dear friends Holly & Aaron Gough joined us with their cute kids. It was so much fun.

Rhett & his brother Wyatt:


Dallin came down from Logan - love you Dall! Miss you.

The gorgeous Gough family:

Rhett & his bro Nathan:


My darling sister-in-law Olivia w/a sleeping Asher:


Close-up. How does he sleep like that?



Olivia and I having an intellectual conversation on the tube.
We're so deep.



And the finale of our day: fireworks from the lake.
I love the reflection of the fireworks on the water.









Happy 4th of July!

happy birthday handsome.


Yesterday was Rhett's birthday!


We celebrated tonight with dinner at Fleming's. There's a little candle burning on that dessert plate, see? They melted the candle right onto the plate. I thought it was cute.

And for Rhett's birthday, I wanted to highlight some of his sexiest moments. (Please, read on. I swear I won't make you barf.)
I love it when you make me breakfast in the morning.
And I love how you always try to prove that you can crack the eggs with one hand.


I love how intelligent you look in glasses. And I love how much you love your dad.

I love that you always slay the spiders for me.


I love how you danced with your Grandma at your brother's wedding. She had the time of her life.

I love you as a one-handed pyramid base.


I love how much you love your family.



I love how other people's kids always love you. I know you'll be a great dad someday.



I love the dimple on your right cheek.


I love how much you love the RhettSki.


I love that you're not too big to sit on Santa's lap with me.



I love that you pedaled the tandem bike pretty much the whole way across the Golden Gate Bridge, since I was much too distracted taking pictures to contribute.


I think your karate kid is hot.


I love you because you love me in all my nerdyness, and I love you because you're just as nerdy as me. I'm proud to have you as my man.
