First Bath for Micah

2009-07-05T18:44:00.005-07:00

Micah got his first bath today. He seemed to love being in the water! His umbilical cord finally fell off on his one-month birthday.

More Smiling

2009-06-28T18:02:00.002-07:00

Shannon was talking to Micah and he was really enjoying it! He was smiling a ton and I was able to snap this shot of him. You can even see the dimple on his left cheek (same as his daddy....YES!).

First Smile Picture! (sort of)

2009-06-27T20:02:00.002-07:00

Here are the latest pictures of Micah. Today Shannon finally caught him smiling on camera. He smiles a lot when he sleeps, but we can never seem to snap the camera while he is doing it. This is more of a smirk....but I still think it qualifies.

Three Weeks Old!

Our little one is now three weeks old! The time has just flown by! Here are some pictures we took in the last couple days.

Too many pictures, Dad!

Shannon and Micah are currently asleep, so I thought I would take this opportunity to post some more pictures of the kiddo. Thank you to everyone for the phone calls, text messages, meals, visits, and love.

First Walk

2009-06-17T17:05:00.002-07:00

We just took Micah for his first walk. He slept through the whole thing, which was fine with us. There was some excitement along the way, as a careless dog owner let her agressive dog off its leash and it was roaming around us for quite some time. It even nipped at sweet little Maggie girl (our Labrador). After some choice words with the owner, she finally got the dog under control and we enjoyed the rest of the time. Seriously though, I don't get these people. I imagine these are the same type of fools that think their pitbull is harmless and it ends up tearing some poor kid's face off. Anyway, here are some pics from the walk and others from this week. In case any of you haven't got to see the little guy yet, please feel free to give us a call and we can arrange for a time for you to stop by.

This is going to be a quick post, as things are busy at the Butler house right now. Just wanted to get some pictures up for all those that don't have access to Facebook.

We took our last trip as just Brett and Shannon. It was wonderful to get away and we really valued the time spent together.

Outside Pike Place Market.

We enjoyed dinner in the Space Needle. This is a shot from inside the restaurant.

We met up with Kels who is attending Seattle Pacific....she was my flower girl! Crazy!

Get-away to the Mountains

2009-05-03T15:10:00.003-07:00

We have some awesome friends who hooked us up with a sweet cabin for free! It was a fun get-away!

SNOWED IN! Okay maybe not, but this is the outside of the "cabin". It's more of a vacation home.

Randoms Pictures Since October

2009-05-03T14:55:00.003-07:00

We have yet again let our blog get completely outdated. The main reason for this is that both Brett and I use Facebook for our pictures and life updates. Anyway, here are the pictures!

In November Brett & I flew out to Minneapolis for my cousins wedding.

September we took a trip to Washington for Brett's cousins wedding.

Here we are touring "wine country" in Walla Walla. Very Beautiful.

This is how we told our fam the good news!

Go Broncos!

Shannon and I went to BSU's opener against Idaho State. We had the opportunity to sit in the brand new Sky Club seats. It was quite the treat.

Our friends Josh and Leslie.

This is the view from the suite.

Bathroom Project

2008-09-01T10:09:00.002-07:00

The linoleum in our master bathroom got pretty nasty over time, so we decided to rip it out and put tile in.

This was after the first day--concrete board down.

After the tile went down, but before the grout.

Completed, everything put back together.

Enjoying our new porch swing!

This tree was basically dead when we moved in......Shannon has nurtured it back to health.

Courtney, my friend since 5th grade soccer, came out to visit this last weekend. This girl is truly amazing. I am extremely fortunate to have her in my life and to call her my best friend. - Court, you've always been there for me, you stood at my side on the most important day of my life, supported me through all the ups and downs for so many years. I never have to worry about being someone I'm not around you (or working out for that matter b/c we burn off so many calories just laughing!!). You are such a servant for the Lord, challenging me in my faith, always standing up for righteousness, and just a JOY to be around! I love you!
P.S. A ring a ling a ling, a ring a ling a ling!

We had a little visit from my sis, her hubby and my NEPHEW!!!

A Night Out

My mom gave me the stars hanging over the fireplace. I wanted to show her what they looked like on the wall.....and here they are.

Colorado Christmas!!

2007-12-18T22:47:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a very short, but much needed trip to Colorado. What a refreshing time it was...hanging out with the family, eating, and celebrating the wonderful birth of our Lord and Savoir! I know I know.. it's only the 18th of December...but with work things don't always go as you would like...so this year we celebrated early and it was GREAT! I miss you guys!!

Me and my two older sisters, Stacy and Stephanie.

Too cute for his own good.

Table setting for Christmas.....so pretty.

A cute picture of Kal and Stephy.

Ruuuude.....

Brett had these delivered to me after I'd had a rough day. I had (and still have) a nasty cold, a sore back, and a lost suitcase (thanks to the airline). The flowers were the perfect little pick me up. I love you sweetie.

Maggie's Pool

This video is hilarious. Maggie constantly cracks us up. We took this video in the summer, but I just came across it today and thought I'd post it.

Nice Sweater!

2007-12-10T18:12:00.000-07:00

Shannon and I went to a Christmas party last weekend that required us to wear the ugliest Christmas sweaters we could find. I set a budget of $5 total for the sweaters, went to Savers, and picked up these bad boys. Unfortunately, the Christmas sweater selection was not good, so we settled for just plain ugly sweaters. Kevin and Morgan (pictured) also managed to find some sick looking sweaters. Kevin's was at least 3 sizes too small, so he looked like Baby Huey.

Waste Not

What do you do when it is the last Saturday of college football and you have two plasma TVs in your house? I think the only logical thing to do is move the TVs together to combine for 92 inches of HD goodness. There was no way I'd let a perfectly good plasma TV sit in the other room while we had two great college football games going at the same time. Also, we needed to have a second TV available to play Guitar Hero III. I will miss those lazy Saturdays. Mark, Josh, Kevin.....we still have NCAA basketball to look forward to......Josh, I know you and your 8 foot HD theater screen are ready for it.
