A New Year

I can't believe another year has come and gone. It went by so quickly. Overall it was a pretty good year. Of course we had our ups and downs, but we made it through. The kids are growing up so fast and continue to entertain and amaze me everyday. Mike and I stay busy working, spending time with the family, and working out. Ava loves to play with her new kitchen set she got for Christmas, put on make-up, do mom's hair, play with play-dough, and boss everyone around!! Cash can't get enough of Yo Gabba Gabba, he LOVES to read books, wrestle with dad, and copy anything Ava does. And poor Chief (I feel really guilty about not spending much time with him), I know he is a dog, but I love him very much. He is doing ok, we have had a few scares with him, healthwise, and it makes me sad to know he won't be around forever:( I am excited to start this new year and can't wait to see what it holds for the Butler family. Here are some pictures of Christmas and miscellaneous things. Happy New Year everyone!

Little Dancer

Tonight was Ava's first dance class. She was so excited to wear her new outfit and shoes. Not too much dancing took place, more running around and giggling with the other girls! But she had a blast and that's all that matters. Here are some pics of her in her outfit.

Family Pictures

They are finally here! I am very happy with the results. Mindy Young did an excellent job, she is very talented. Thanks Mindy. I new I had cute kids, but I can't believe how cute they really are (maybe I'm just being biased). Here are a few of our favorite pictures.
