Almost Good-bye

Well, the Butler clan will be shipping out in exactly one month from tomorrow! It is hard to believe we are leaving here. We have been in Roy for almost 8 yrs and it is more home to me than anywhere I have ever lived. The people here are not just friends but family! To all the amazing young women I have had the chance to know, I LOVE YOU. Also to the friends of the Country Lane Ward, thank you for all you have done for me and my family. I will be back to visit, even if you don't want me to :). I am going to try to post the life and times of the Butler clan livin it up in Moscow, here, just so everyone wont forget us. So lets party and have a good time for the next month and then hang on tight because we will be back before you know it.

Love, Angel

I'm BAAACCCKKKK

Sorry it has been a MILLION years since I have posted anything. Jeff broke our computer and I hate using the laptop... that and I have to wrestle it away from Jeff. Life has been way crazy busy, but nothing to exciting, well other than Christmas. The only thing my kids REALLY wanted was a Wii. Luckily my mother loves them (more than me) and got it for them. Several other people bought games and accessories for the system and so now their lives are complete. My only goal is to be able to play guitar hero with Emerson and have him not yell at me for making him lose. Wait never mind it is great fun to watch him throw a temper tantrum! We took the kids sledding after the big storm and had a great time! Of course I was exhausted from carrying Lauren back up the hill all the time (thx JEFF) But it was still way fun. Our house still hasn't sold but we haven't given up hope or faith that our time will come. It just hasn't been the right time for us to leave all of you amazing people....sorry you are still stuck with us. Well until next time, which will be sooner, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

MANDY LOVES TWILIGHT

A big group of us went to go see Twilight on Friday night. It was so CHEESY! But it was so worth the price of the ticket just to watch Mandy mock the teenage girls. She had the opportunity to sit in a theater full of them and listen to them SCREAM every time Jacob came on the screen. She had me laughing so hard that I fell on the ground and had tears running down my face. So if you see Mandy reminder of her love for Twilight and call her by her new name....SPIDER MONKEY! But be careful she might hop on your back :)

Boys

Emerson and his friends, Brody and Cody, make me laugh! They all were hanging out here yesterday during Chloie's Hannah Montana Birthday party. Chloie got a Hannah wig and had taken it off. Brody decided to see how he looked as a blond...not good and then Cody put on Jeff's red wig...not good either! The best part was watching them dance with the 7yr old girls. They were the hit of the party! Emerson of course just stood back and watched. He isn't as into cross dressing as his dad and friends. That gives me hope for at least one normal man in my life! But luckily Jeff is so cute it makes up for his cross-dressing ways!

Protesting

So for anyone who doesn't know my husband, he loves to Argue!!! So when the opportunity presents itself that allows him to argue without using tact...He runs with it. Well I am sure many of you heard about the rally that was held downtown where the Gay (happy of course) people protested the LDS church for its involvement in the passage of proposition 8 in California. Well he rounded up his buddies, Travis and Brad (last names have been with held to protect the innocent) and they went down to give those "happy" people something to really protest...Them! They (mostly BRAD) almost got the crap kicked out of them by a cute couple that consisted of 2 of the manliest women they have ever seen. They also learned new things about the Constitution of the U.S. (things that are NOT in it) and made fun of all the guys wearing their sisters pants. The highlight was the catchy slogan they came up with..."Straight is Great, Straight is Great, That is how WE procreate! All in all it was a productive night that left the 3 of them feeling rather pleased that they, themselves, weren't HAPPY...aka GAY!

Birthday Party

Adison and Chloie's birthdays are 6 days apart. So we always have a joint birthday for Jeff's family. The kids have a good time and love to see them. Jeff's Aunt Joy and Norman are always incredible and make each of the kids feel so special. Jeff's parents as well as his sister and her family came as well. It was great to see them as we don't get to as often as we all would like. Anyway, Chloie turns 7 on Friday and Adison turned 9 last Saturday. They are growing up WAY to fast, wow time flies! But Dariell, Holly and I have discovered that our family's were meant to be BFF's. Holly and Adison have the same birthday, Brody and Chloie have the same birthday and now Lauren and Tucker have the same birthday. It is crazy how it has worked out. Well I know this post is really random but that is how I am so it fits :) Until next time....Big Love and you are my favorite....ssshhhh don't tell!

Hello Everybody!!!

Hi guys, sorry it has been so long since I've said Howdy but life had been a little nuts. Every year I take on the challenge of making my children's costumes and every year I vow to start earlier. Well I started early this time but got way sick and had personal crap that got in the way. The good news is that with a VERY heavy dose of antibiotics (3000 mg of amox and a Z-pack) with some good old predisone, my severe bronchitis is clearing up nicely! But, I digress. I did manage to make two adorable fairy costumes and aid Adison in his quest for dark wizard magic. I must admit that I was a very proud mom at the Trunk or Treat on Halloween night. The kids all looked great, including Emerson who was just scary without a costume (LOL). My husband was a great hit, dressed as a HOT CHICK! NOT!!!!! I must admit that he has great legs but he defintley does not have the face to pull off trans gender! But it was a great laugh especially when people looked at him and realized that he was a HIM or as Jeff would say a SHIM (She-Him). All in all it was a great Halloween and can't wait for next year!
