Small blog updates

I finally decided to change my "profile" picture and "my brothers and sisters" picture, and I'm thinking about getting a new background.
My profile picture was three years old, and since then I've been through a few different changes, so I thought a new picture would be nice. Some of them were, getting  contacts nearly two years ago, got braces, got them off last year (yay) , and went through a variety of hair cuts and styles.
The brothers and sisters picture was old enough that I was regularly correcting the ages, so I put up one we took just a few weeks ago. It's kinda neat I have enough siblings to wear a whole package of socks at once! :) (If you're confused at that statement, just scroll down and look at the picture)
Sometime soon I'll post some pictures that we took for our Christmas card, they're really cute. We took them at Nagshead in October, while we were there with our Granddad.
I'm going to get to the second part of my post soon, which will include pictures from that vacation.
I saw a neat hairstyle on   Rachel Heffington's blog the otherday, so I tried it out. It was very easy to do. Here is the video tutorial. I try to not use curling irons, since they're so bad on your hair, so I put my hair up in pin curls, and it turned out well.

I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather today!
Have a blessed week,
Kelsey

 

what is it about belt buckles?

While in Floyd, on vacation this year, I found this huge belt buckle. Tell me what you think. ;)

(No, my hair wasn't quite that long, I was bending over. I've had it cut quite a bit shorter since then)

Isn't it ginormous? I don't think it's a real word, but it's one of my favorites. ;) I considered buying it, just for fun. I almost regret it.:) Anyway, one word you could use to describe it would be "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." this is a real picture, it isn't photo shopped.

You guys can pray for Joshua, 'cause on Tuesday he shoved a piece of apple up his nose and it's stuck there. It is causing Mom quite a bit of worry, because if it slides out a little farther, it will block his airway.

I hope you guys have a great rest of the week, and later on I'll post about the actors from "Courageous" that visited our church Sunday.

Last weekend

Last Sunday we all went to Williamsburgh. We finally had a tour of the Governor's Palace, which was really neat. I was shocked though at how small all the rooms were! The doorways were fairly short also, so the people then must have been pretty petite.We met up with Aunt Carrie and Brian, and we also got to meet their foreign exchange student. Hear are some pictures I took while we were there.I'm sorry for the poor quality of some of the pictures inside the Palace. There was very little lighting inside, and it was a cloudy day.

This is my greatest photographic masterpiece! ;)

Later I might post a few more pictures. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! ~Kelsey

Hello! By Kelsey

Hello everyone! I've been trying to think of a good blog name, so if y'all think of one, leave a comment and let us know! Kendal and Kelsey Butler was actually supposed to be temporary. ;) I hope y'all enjoy the pictures. One or two of them might have already been shared, but enjoy them anyway! ;) Isn't the picture below the coolest! Actually, it was really really cold! I went out really early in the morning to take it.

This picture (below) is similar to the one from my last post, Gavin. But this is the one and only other one like it.

I think that might be me in the picture, but I'm not sure, it's sorta hard to tell.

This is the creek water from the waterfall. When it's warmer we like to play in it. But we are also famous for loosing shoes in it! ;)

Vacation pictures! by Kelsey

All ready for some shootin' Well maybe not, considering we are already late for breakfast with Grandad. ;)

On the way back home I took this picture. Look! It's a mouse! Actually it was a dead mouse. It must have died of poison, because it was flexible. We fluffed it up and set it on a rocking chair, and it scared the mess out of Mama! I don't understand people who are scared of mice, what is there to be scared of?
Howdy partner! ( Those are real guns)


I'm hoping to frame this one.

That's a lot of apples! We picked quite a few, and I would sit on the porch and peel them each morning for breakfast. Yum!

I think this is sorta funny. That's me, in case you were wondering. The best apples were up high, so I drove the four~wheeler under the tree so we could reach them.

These are the Fox grapes we picked. We picked the rest on the creek bank.

I think this is so cute!

That's how we got the grapes out.

Our Grandad Thurman took us up here. Isn't it beautiful? Mr. Hylton and Joy.

Grandma Brenda and Joshua.

This is Isaac and I on the way to the cabin from the campground. It was really cold! We had just finished picking grapes on the creek bank. That's why my hair looks so crazy!

This is Molly, isn't she cute?

Mama took this picture of a woolly bear.

I took this picture on the way back home.

Awww, how sweet.

The more the merrier!

This is the lake.

Hey, look it's Dan the Sailor Man!

Anna is holding one of the newts they fished out of the lake with a fishing pole.

This was right before our very bumpy and scary ride. I came along to make sure no one fell out. To bad no one did that for me! It was so bumpy because we had a flat tire. That little girl is Maggie, Mr. and Mrs. Hylton's granddaughter.

Whoops! It looks like someone fell in the lake! Anna dived headfirst out of the boat. She was trying to get a newt, and well, misjudged her aim.

What a nice vacation! ~Kelsey

We're back! by Kelsey

We just got back yesterday from a week long vacation in Floyd, and then a day spent at our Aunt Carrie and Brian's house. We had a lovely time there. We also got to see our Grandad Thurman, Mama's dad. He took us to some really neat places, so I'll be sharing a lot of photos soon. We actually went there in June also, but didn't blog any photos.

Kendal and I learned to drive the four~wheelers some more this time, and took quite a few rides with passengers. We picked about a half bushel of apples there, so when we got back last night, we peeled and sliced them with a borrowed peeler, corer, slicer. We also picked more fox grapes to make jam. That was a lot of fun. Pictures are coming soon. Well that's all for now!
