Halloween

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.

Ashynn

This is ashlynn's first time fingerpainting. She loved it. Here are some pictures of her and her finished work of art.
