My Littlest Man is 2 months!

Baby Camden
2 months

This little guy is so sweet. I LOVE the stage he is in right now. He is so smiley and content.
He is still a good little eater and sleeper. We are so blessed to have this little bundle of joy in our family.
Cam just had his 2 month visit with the doctor and here are his stats:
24 inches long - 50% tile
11 lbs. 11 oz. - 90% tile

Super Crazy JULY!

July 3 - Camden's baby blessing. These are the only pictures I got from Camden's blessing day, but we were very fortunate to have almost all of Brandon's family there. It was a special day and Camden received a very special blessing from his Daddy. Camden was lucky to have Grandpas Ketterman and Buttars, Uncles Nate, Jason, and Cody, and Ryan Davies (2nd counselor in the bishopric) stand in the circle. After Sacrament Meeting everyone headed over to our house for a BBQ. All 16 grandkids were here and Bran and Trey were in heaven having so many cousins to play with. It was a super hot day, so most of the adults stayed inside and visited. We loved having everyone here (it was the first time we had all of Brandon's family at our house at the same time). Camden, I know you won't remember this day, but know you are loved so very much by your family.


July 4 - Grandpa Buttars 60th Birthday! Here he is with all 16 grandkids!
On the same day we all visited Great G&G Buttars at their new house in Layton...Here is a 4 generation picture. (I thought it was funny that Great Grandma Buttars told us she thought Trey looked like Brad Pitt!)

July 5 - G&G Ketterman head home after a 3 week visit. I am so bummed that I didn't take very many pictures while my parents were here. We are always so grateful when they come visit. They take such good care of the boys...and spoil them rotten! My mom took Bran and Trey to the park and/or splash pad almost everyday they were here. They also had many picnics and when out for ice cream several times. They were also a great help with Camden, holding him every chance they got...I had to remind my mom that it was okay to put him in his bouncer every once in a while! My parents are super hard workers and even when they are on vacation they don't take a break. I won't complain about though because we were the beneficiaries of it! While they were here they weeded our gardens and planted flowers, stained our fence, sanded and stained our swing set, installed an electrical outlet outside, mowed our yard, fixed a shelf that had fallen down, cooked us dinner and did the dishes...the list goes on!


July 18 - Branson's 6th Birthday! Bran had an awesome birthday! First, while G&G Ketterman were here he got his present from us and them, which was a big trampoline. Then the day before he turned 6 we celebrated at G&G Buttars with a Super Mario cake. The day of his birthday we had Grandma Buttars, Tiff, Tycee, Caleb and Talan met us at Disovery Gateway (a children's museum). It was alot of fun and Bran loved having a few of his cousins there to enjoy it with him. After the museum, Grandpa Buttars joined us and the kids played at the splash pad at the Gateway. Then G&G Buttars took Bran to Build a Bear where he got to build his very own Smurf. We then ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. It was a pretty perfect birthday and Bran when to bed a very happy 6 year old!


Three of the weekends in July....Renting our Condo in Logan! Yay it's rented for a least another year! One of the weekends we went up there we got to have a sleep over in the condo with the boys...I think they are pretty excited to live there when they go to USU!!!


July 21 - Bran's new bedroom! We finally made it official. Bran and Trey no longer share a room...and it makes bed time so much easier!


July 28 - Aug. 1 - Buttars Family Reunion! WoW! What a fun reunion this was! I missed the first day and a half (my depression sometimes gets the best of me) but I'm so glad my boys didn't miss any of it. The reunion included Cherry Hill, The Hill Air Force Museum, Boondocks, Golfing, The Layton Wave Pool, Game Playing, Yummy Dinners, Playing with Cousins, and lots of Visiting and Laughing and just plain FUN! I guess I must of been too busy playing because this is the only pic I took...they boys on the bummer boats at Boondocks. We look forward to this being a yearly family tradition...next year we are going to Disneyland for the Buttars reunion!


All month long - My flowers survive!!! I think after 4 years of living at our house we finally figured out what kind of flowers can survive in our gardens....Uh, Dad, I hope you remember what kind of flowers these are...I also hope you come next year and plant them for us again!!! Brandon and I definitely do not have green thumbs! In fact, if it weren't for our automatic sprinkler system our flowers probably wouldn't even get watered! I'm just so thrilled that they are still alive...I hope they survive August.


(yes, that is the window Trey broke by throwing a brick at it...gotta love 3 year olds!)

Coming soon...Updated pics of Baby Camden.

Baby Camden is here!

Branson and Trey

are excited to announce the birth of their baby brother

Camden Tanner Buttars

June 10, 2011

1:08 pm

7 lbs. 13 oz.

19 1/2 in.

We are all completely in love with our sweet baby boy.

He is such a good sleeper and eater. He is already sleeping 4 to 5 hours at night. He has a sweet little cry, but we hardly ever hear it. He seems to be very content all the time. We feel very blessed to have him as part of our family.

Spring 2011

Easter 2011:

Bran and Trey and most of their cousins! G&G Buttars always have a HUGE Easter egg hunt for the grandkids. It's awesome because I can bribe my boys the whole month before Easter that if they are not good they can't go to Grandma's Easter egg hunt!

Easter ties from G&G Ketterman. Bran went with a pink tie with blue polk a dots and Trey's has soccer balls on it.

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!

Oh my! What to do with Trey and his cousin Ayda!
They got into Grandma B's game closet, and, well, they had FUN!

WHAT TO DO WITH THIS KID!

Trey slipped getting out of the tub and I was sure he needed stitches, but the doc just glued his owie up. It made for one stressful morning!

Speaking of Trey, he wanted to go outside, so I told him if he got dressed he could go outside. A few minutes later, I found him outside dressed like this! Yep, he has his vest, shoes, and a diaper on!!! I suppose that's all need to wear if you are a 3 year old! Don't worry, I made him go inside and put on pants and a shirt.

A MUCH NEEDED GET-A-WAY:

Brandon and I finally got to celebrate our 8th year wedding anniversary. It was actually in November, but I was so sick with this pregnancy that we didn't want to go anywhere.
So, G&G Buttars were nice enough to watch the boys for a long weekend and we when to Wolf Creek in Eden, UT. We spent most of our time watching the final season of Friday Night Lights. I must say it was quite an enjoyable weekend.
Happy 8th Brandon!!!

So, WHAT'S BRAN BEEN UP TO:

I'm a little late blogging about Bran and his adventures at the Little Gym, especially since it was last summer! But I just found this pic and wanted to post them. Bran got to take a sports class and he had a super duper fun time. I will need to get him signed up again this summer.

Bran with his Little Gym class and teacher Mr. Joe.

Now this is what Bran has actually been up to this spring...yep, that's him in the dentist chair breathing in some yummy cotton candy flavored laughing gas! I think it took about 4 two hour appointments to get all of his dental work done, which included getting a tooth pulled. Let's just say that he is brushing his teeth a little better these days!

Bran and his preschool teachers: Mrs. Hales and Mrs. Newitt.

Bran's preschool graduation. His teacher's are so awesome and give him a binder of all the things he did during the year plus they include pictures of Bran and his class. It is such a treasure to have that notebook. I can't believe Bran will be a Kindergartener this fall. He was so excited the day we registered him for Kindergarten, he told me it was the BEST day of his LIFE!

32 WEEKS!

I'm actually almost 36 weeks now! I am so ready for baby Camden to make his arrival. My doc put me on modified bedrest around week 32 because my blood pressure has been high, and let me tell you, there is nothing more unrelaxing than bedrest! It sounds like a fabulous idea, until you actually have to do it (especially if you have 2 little boys at home who like to fight and make messes!). Luckily though, bedrest has helped with my blood pressure and my last two doc appts. my BP has been elevated, but not as high as it had been. So we will see what this week brings, if it stays high they may take baby Camden a few weeks early (that wouldn't be so bad, would it?)!

Well next time I blog Camden will probably be here....I am SO EXCITED!

Did you know it's 2011! Jan. - Mar

Jan. 15th was Trey's big day!

That's right he turned 3.


He woke up to lots of presents and a super cool birthday hat!

He got an orange gun, a blue zhu zhu, and a Handy Manny computer.
Not to mention a Chuck E Cheese gift card, a Cars Garage, and Trios.

But what gave him the biggest smile was his Mickey Mouse Cupcake tower!
He's just like his momma with a major sweet tooth!

Trey's b-day party with his cousins had to get canceled the first time around due to a sick brother. But we made it up to him the following weekend with a trip to Training Table and Boondocks with Grandma/pa Buttars and several of his cousins.


Ahhh....Brother love!
They do have their moments of love...too bad they are only moments!

The boys and their Frosty the Snowman.
Trey cried when later that day Frosty started to melt and fell over.
It was so sad to see him look out the window and see the fallen Snowman.
His little lower lip started to tremble and he just couldn't hold back the tears.
It broke my heart.
Luckily he got over it pretty quickly.

I had to add this picture.
Trey sees his Daddy put a tie on every Sunday and insist he wears a tie too.
This particular Sunday I tried to tell him he didn't need a tie.
He insisted and he refused to tuck is tie into his sweater.
Pretty sweet look, Trey!

Finally, me! Yep, that's my 26 week baby BOY belly.
I'm so grateful I'm finally feeling good.
I was nauseous at the beginning of my pregnancy and then found out I had low iron, so I was completely tired and grouchy for a while.
Now, everything is under control, and I feel pretty great!
Can't wait till June.

Oh and one more thing.
Brandon turned the big 32 the beginning of March.
Trey and Branson were pretty bummed that Brandon's b-day party didn't include any Mickey Mouse cupcakes!
But, all in all, I think Brandon had a good day and got spoiled with some fun gifts and cards from the boys.
