Made with Love

I just wanted to show off how talented some of my family members are. After we had our cute little Trey Bug, we received some beautiful homemade sweaters and blankets for him. They are so cute and were made with so much love....I just had to show them off to the world (you know, since the whole world reads my blog)!!!! Sorry mom....I will have to take some pics of the cute blankets you made for Trey....I'll put that on my "to do list"!



This blue sweater and hat and white blanket were made by my Aunt Carla....I hope she doesn't mind I'm also using the sweater and hat as decorations for Trey's nursery....they are just too cute to put in the closet!


This beautiful white sweater was made by Trey's great grandma Buttars. How special to have something that hopefully we be passed down from generation to generation.

Our Sunday...






I thought we would take some pics this morning before church....and all was going well, until, Branson decided to punch Trey in the face (hence, the last two pics of Trey)!
I definitely think jealous is settling in between Bran and Trey because later tonight Bran thought it necessary to punch Trey again in the face! We asked him why he did that and he just said "Trey hurt me"...the only thing I can think is that Trey hurts Bran's feelings because of all the attention he gets. I suppose we will have to give Bran more attention and love. We feel bad that he doesn't get the attention he use to....but, things were bound to change when we decided to have Trey.
And speaking of Trey....he has found his voice in this world!!! Our once quite baby....well, not so quite anymore. We think he has been a bit more fussy lately due to constipation....ahhhhh that will do it!!! We've been giving him more formula lately and I think until he gets use to it there may be some pooh problems! Don't worry tho, we are calling his doctor tomorrow to see if we can give him something to help him out. Besides being a bit more fussy and louder than usual, he still is a really good baby....only getting up once maybe twice during the night to eat and then right back to sleep....we can't really complain too much about that.
Another thing we can't complain too much about is babysitters!!! Yea....after living in Sp. Fork for almost 3 years we finally found one and used her! Brandon and I went on a date on Sat. night! (Okay, so we took Trey with us....but it was still a date) We just went to the mall and ate at the food court and then saw Step Up 2 (my choice...Brandon would probably die if anyone thought he choose that movie...it was alright, by the way....the story was the same as every other chic flick....but the dancing in the movie was amazing). Anyway, Trey was really good during the movie, we only had to take him out once to change his diaper. I know our date probably sounds lame...but we had fun and that is all that counts. Besides, we are pretty new to this dating thing....hopefully our dates will get more exciting as we have more and we get brave enough to leave Trey with the babysitter.

Who does the laundry? Me...I don't trust him to do the laundry.

Who does the dishes? Me again....I don't trust him to do them....and when he does do them, I usually have to redo them!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well since we sleep together now (I couldn't sleep with him when I was pregnant) Brandon does.

Who pays the bills? Me....Brandon doesn't even know how to balance a check book.

Who mows the lawn? Brandon....with the help of BranBran!

Who cooks dinner? I would say Brandon cooks dinner more than I do....but I would also say McDonalds and Little Ceasars cooks dinner for us the most!

Who is more stubborn? Me...no questions about that one.

Who kissed who first? Brandon kissed me...I talked through the whole kiss....I was so nervous!

Who proposed? Brandon did...he e-mailed me the date and time to meet him at the temple! And then a week later I got my ring.

Who has more siblings? Brandon

Who wears the pants? Me...unless it is something Brandon is passionate about....which is almost nothing except not using the credit card.

THE END! Aren't we romantic?

I tag no one....because none of my married friends read my blog.....and if you do.....you better start making comments!!

Happy Balentimes Day!





Do you think I look like my Daddy??

So...my baby doesn't have red eyes in real life...just in some of these pictures!! I guess our new fancy camera isn't quite so fancy....don't most cameras have red eye reduction. Anyway, I like posting pics of my boys, because they are so cute. My other cute boy is in bed right now, that's why there are no pictures of him on this posting. However, all day today Bran has been saying "Happy Balentimes Day, Mommy" it was so cute and made me smile and laugh every time he said it. I love my boys and I am grateful for the joy they bring to my life.

Diet Coke Feb. 12, 2008

We truely are Buttars.....check us out with our diet coke!!! Branson loves his fill of diet coke. I developed a craving for it when I was pregnant and the craving has kind-of stuck with me....good thing for Branson, I guess! I also developed a love of drinking out of straws when I was pregnant...just another testament that I am truely a Buttars!!!

Why is Blogging so hard.

Okay....I am so annoyed. All I wanted to do was post some cute pics with some captions and look below what happened! I finally erased all the captions because they weren't by the pics. I think that's why there is a huge space of nothing after the pics. This is so hard. I hope I will be able to erase this posting after Brandon gets home from work and can hopefully fix my stupidity! Anyway....we love kisses at our house as you can see in the pics below. Also, Branson has the cutest dimple...I love pics that show his dimple.

Kisses

Okay....so I am new to this blog thing. Brandon just showed me how to hook the camera up to the computer so I could put pics on the blog myself.....well, as you can see, I have some more learning to do! Maybe, my next post will be more organized.

Big Foot

Yea...Trey with his eyes open!

My Big Foot Baby!!!

Today

Here are my boys this morning. Right now we are watching Pres. Hinckley's funeral on TV. I'm so grateful my boys will know of Pres. Hinckley's great legacy and all the wonderful things he has done for the saints and the world.









Branson ready to play a ball game. As soon as Brandon gets home from work, Branson is right there saying "Play ball game, dad."













Branson loves playing "Santa Claus" in the tubby with his Daddy....here he is saying "Ho Ho".
