So my last post really got Brandon's attention...and what do you know...the very next day I had Windows installed on my computer so my pictures aren't sideways....Yeah!!!! So, let the blogging continue!!! Sorry, I'm a little behind. I know Easter was a while ago, but I just had to post these cute pictures of my kids with their bunny ears and the pics of Trey and his cousin Ayda.
We were going to buy Branson some bunny ears for Easter, but while at the store he kept throwing them out the cart (oh, the joys of shopping with a two year old!). So, we didn't buy them...but while he was having a great conversation with his Grandpa Buttars he kept telling him about these bunny ears and he would not be quite about these bunny ears he had seen at the store. So, Brandon and I had some last minute Easter shopping to do, and we found some bunny ears at the dollar store, and we just had to buy them...Funny, Branson wasn't as excited about the bunny ears as I thought he would be...but they made for some cute pictures!
Grandma and Grandpa Buttars go all out for their Easter Egg Hunt...which Branson had a great time at....look at all those eggs...and can you believe Grandma and Grandpa had even more surprises for the kids inside....boy, are the grandkids spoiled!!!! I guess that's one of the joys of being a grandparent.
Trey and Ayda are just the cutest little babies ever! It will be fun to watch them grow up together. Trey is 2 months old and Ayda is 5 months old in these pics.

Sorry Folks....No More Bloggin'
So...Brandon thought he fixed the problem with the pictures being sideways, but he really didn't. And...our computer is rejecting our Windows program. So, until everything is fixed, I REFUSE TO BLOG. I am sad about this, because, I do have some way cute pictures to post. But, it drives me way too crazy to have the pictures sideways. I guess I'll have to resort back to the good ole' days when people did the One Hour Photo at WalMart and put their pictures in an album (or maybe even a scrapbook, if I'm feeling creative)!!!!

Rotate Images
Peggy kind of gave up on blogging lately because our computer was making it hard to rotate images. Well I think I figured it out. So I'm going to post this picture and see what happens.

Girls Day Out
Saturday was such a fun day...it started off with a visit to Rhonda, the tattoo artist, who specializes in permanent make up. My friend Julie needed to go for a touch up and while there I asked if she would draw my eyebrows on how she would do them...so she did...and they looked really good...all day I kept looking at them and thinking I really should do this...but there were a few times I looked at them and thought they looked weird....so only time will tell if I'll be brave enough to do it!
We then enjoyed a fabulous lunch at La Frontera, our fav. Mexican restaurant. You just can't beat those smoothered burritos! Then it was off to Julie's house for a mad game of Scrabble...the best game in the world! Kim (Julie's little sister....who happens to be my friend also) beat both of us...but we had a good time anyway.
I love girls day out...it is such a great time to be away from my duties at home and just have fun with the girls. I'm grateful to have a husband who lets me go and takes great care of our kids while I'm out. Julie, you need to hurry back to Utah so we can have more frequent play days!
Dr. Kim, Julie, and Me
Our best gangsta pose! What, What Kim!
Check out the eyebrows on those girls!!!Sunday, March 16, 2008
To be young again!
Ahhhh....remember the days when you could fall asleep while coloring!!!! 
And here is another side ways picture! But look how grown up our little BranBran is! He just looks so big in this picture.
Branson has been saying some super funny things lately, I just wanted to share one conversation we had.
Mommy says: Bran do you like girls?
Bran says: Girls are stupid.
Mommy says: But Bran, Mommy is a girl.
Bran says: Yeah, Mommy stupid!!!
Don't worry, we talked about using the word stupid after this little conversation...but I could help but laugh at what he said.
You may also be interested to know Bran has an imaginary Teddy Bear friend, which is quite amusing also. One conversation he had with his "friend" went something like this "thank you Teddy Bear, your welcome BranBran"! I just thought it was so cute how polite he and his "friend " are!
Anyway, Bran is so much fun and is constantly making us laugh...and annoying us....but mainly making us laugh and feel good. The other day when I was putting on my make up he said "I like you, Mommy....you're cute" Nothing like a 2 year old to boost your self esteem....Thanks Bran....I love you!
As good as it gets!
So, we've been trying for what seems like FOREVER to capture Trey's precious smile on camera. He truly has the cutest little smile, but of course, the minute we get the camera out that little smile seems to disappear! So here are a few pictures of Trey thinking about smiling for the camera...
And here are a few pictures of him actually smiling! I must say though, his smile is much cuter in person!!!
(by the way...I know some of the pics are sideways, but it is Brandon's fault because he changed our computer program and we can't figure out how to keep the pics rotated after we rotate them!)

Happy Birthday
Love,
Peggy
P.S. Thanks for the flowers!
Happy Birthday "My Daddy"
"Tank you" for being the BEST Daddy in the whole wide world! We hope you have the best birthday. And don't worry mommy didn't let me get you a teddy bear, a bow tie, or jammies just like mine!!!!!! I guess you'll just have to wait until I'm big enough do my own shopping!
Love, Your Boys

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.Sunday, February 24, 2008
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.

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.

Random Stuff
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.
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".

2 weeks
Yeah!!! We've made it 2 weeks and Branson and Trey are both alive and doing well! Trey had his 2 week doctor appt. today and he is a healthy little guy. He now weighs 9 lbs 6 oz and is 21 1/4 inches long....I told you he was a good eater! Also, we are pretty excited that his umbillical cord fell off today...it was getting pretty gross to look at. I really didn't want it to fall off while I was there, but no such luck. It fell off while I was sponge bathing him. I'm excited to be able to give him a real bath now.
Peggy
