Michael Augustus



So, I am finally putting up pictures of Gus. We still haven't gotten are camara back yet they are waiting on a part so hopefully we get it back soon. I would like to take videos and things. Michael weighed 7 lbs 10z and was 21in long. He has his two month check up next week, so we will see how big he has gotten. Ashlynn is doing okay with the change, we had some problems with her going to bed at night, but she is doing better now. Other then that nothing new.

Hike

Bryan was able to go on a hike with the young men in our ward for a couple of days. They are hiking 50 miles and I think Bryan hiked 35 miles of it. I will probably post more pictures later. Bryan took a lot of pictures. We also got a new video camera that you can video underwater so I will try and post one of the videos bryan took underwater. He didn't get to much because the water was so cold.




I think this is a golden trout. I am not exactly sure but it is a golden something. I guess you can only catch those if you are at a high altitude. I don't remember how high bryan said you have to be to catch one. Maybe I can get him to post more about the hike.
This is a picture of Rob and one of the boys hiking up the mountain trail. I guess there was some rough parts that they had to hike through.


I will try and post more pictures later today. I also have a doctors appointment today, so I will give an update with how the baby is doing.


Ashlynn and Rudy

Ashlynn loves Rudy. She feeds him every morning and wakes up talking about him. She loves to take him for walks and even read stories to him. Here are a couple of pictures of Ashlynn reading to Rudy.

Family Reunion!

In the begging of July we had a Butler Family Reunion that I hosted. We rented a cabin in the mountains by my parents house. Here are some pics. of the reunion.
This is a picture of Katie and Cassidy getting ready to preform their talent. All the kids did a great job. I would post a video but it takes a really long time to upload, so I will post that latter.
This is a picture of Ashlynn and Katie with Rudy.
This is a picture of Ashlynn taking into the pipe to the other kids. They loved it, and thought it was so funny.
This is a picture of ashlynn fishing. She loves to fish. When we drive by water she always ask to fish.

Update...

Sorry no pictures this time, to lazy to go out to the car to get the camera. I have started to potty train Ashlynn. Kinda casual, she is still young but she likes her potty seat. She likes to go potty on it more and more every day. Today was a really good day for her to use it, she even told me when she needed to use the bathroom. That is her exciting news.
As for me I am six months pregnant and feel huge. I don't ever remember being this uncomfortable with Ashlynn, but I probably was. The baby is doing good. We haven't picked a name yet, nothing seems to fit. I did agree on naming him Landon Bearl (bearl after Bryan, he loves that name, I hate it). So I guess that will be his name if we don't agree on a different name. Bryan and I don't really love Landon, so that probably will not be his name. I am stuck with Bearl unless Bryan and I can agree on something else. If anyone has any good name suggestions let me know what they are I need help.
Bryan has been working a lot the last couple of weeks and will be this summer. July he will be working in riverton (which is an hour and half from our house). He hasn't been getting home until nine and is leaving at about six. So, it has been long days for us. We also are trying to finish work on our house. Bryan has been doing the prep work so we can paint and then we are going to put in a lawn. We still have to finish our bathroom upstairs and the office in our room. I was hoping that we could have it all done before I had the baby, but it looks like we won't be able. Bryan is going to be very busy. It will be done one of these days.
I also wanted to get the baby room done. But that is painting, so that can't be done right know. I will be able to get curtains made and other decorations up though. Maybe I can convince my mom to come up and help me one of these days.
We are also excited that my parents will be moving up here and will be only fifteen minutes away from us. That will be in November. I am really excited about that. It will be fun to live close to my parents, I am glade Bryan gets along with my dad. They will probably do lots of hunting. It will also be nice to have babysitters that Ashlynn loves, and I am sure the baby will love too.
I will try to get pictures up of Ashlynn, and me so everyone can see how big I am.

Mothers day!

My mothers day was wonderful. My parents were here in the morning to eat breakfast with us, along with my grandma and sister Jenna. Jenna was able to stay until after church so that was nice. Bryan made me a wonderful breakfast and did all the cleaning. He also got me a new set of scriptures that I have been wanting for a while. He also made me dinner (pizza) that was really good. Then we were all able to take a nice long nap, we have had a busy week so we were all really tired. So overall my mothers day was great. Jenna also got me this really cute sweater, that I love.

House Pictures.

So here are some pictures of our house. Bryan has been working on the master bedroom bathroom. It is looking really good. We still need to paint, tile the walk in shower and finish a few other things.


This is a picture of the shower and a dividing wall that seperates the tolit and gives it a little more privacy. I think Bryan did a really good job on it. The shower is probably going to be in a blue tile and the wall is going to be painted white. The trim in the bathroom is going to be white, the walls blue and I am going to do sunny yellow color as accent and a light green color that is more on the yellow side.



This is our wirlpool tub that Bryan put in. It is very nice. He also did the floors and all the trim.

This is a picture from my living room. Bryan put in the woodstove and we painted it brown and I did the back of the niches to match. I think it turned out cute.







Easter






We spent easter here at home with Vanessa and her family. We did an easter egg hunt at her house on saturday and invited Bryan's co-worker, kelly, and his family. Then on sunday we had a big easter dinner. Here are a few pictures....

Baby update

I had my first doc. apt. yesterday and everything is going good. I was able to hear the baby's heart beat. They had me worried for a minute because they kept asking if there were twins in my family, and how I felt about twins. There was only one heart beat though. We will be able to find out what we are having in six weeks.

Update on Ashlynn

So Ashlynn is 19 months, it is really weird that she is getting so big. She has learned a few new things. She likes to count, but she really only counts to two. She also loves to say prayers. We read scriptures with her before we put her to bed and she loves to get the scriptures and waits for us to read them. Ashlynn has also started a new habit of calling me Heather, boo, and on occasion she might call me mommy. She mostly calls me Heather. She wakes up in the morning and calls Heather until I come to get her. But she always calls Bryan daddy.
Ashlynn also is very good at saying please and thank you. I am very proud of her. Ashlynn is also in nursery now, and she loves it. She goes very good, she has been going for about a month now and we never have any problems. She was nervous this Sunday, but a nursery leader just picked her up and I left and she was fine.

I will post pictures soon. We have been working on our bathroom upstairs, so I will put some pictures up of it. I will also post pictures of ashlynn.

Bryan's Surgery

Well Bryan is doing really good, most days. Today he isn't feeling so good, but he hopes to do a full day of work tomorrow. We will see what happens. Other then that everything is going great.

Ashlynn and Cheese

Ashlynn got very hungry so she got a hard boiled egg and a huge chunk of cheese, and decided to go to the fridge and look for more. She has very cute caring around her food, but the cheese got to heavy so we cut her off a smaller chunk.

Ashlynn's room












I have been busy decorating Ashlynn's room. I still have a couple more things to do, but I think it looks cute so far.



On the way home from ice fishing we saw a lot of deer. I was only able to get a couple of pictures.









New Years Day

For new years we went ice fishing with Vanessa and all of her family. It was lots of fun. I caught two fish and I think we caught thirteen all together. Ashlynn even got into the fishing. The kids caught most of the fish. One time a fish pulled the fishing pole into the water and we had to drill another hole to get it out, and it was a pretty big fish. Here are just a couple of pictures.
