Getting Started

I thought I would start this blog to record our family's commings and goings for a few reasons.  Firstly, my children are moving all over the country and I can keep them informed of what's going on.  Secondly, I used to create a yearly photo album at the end of each year. That task is overwhelming for me now, so this is a way I can document our family events.  Thirdly,  I don't like to put everything on Facebook, so those who are more interested in what's happening with the Butler's can get more details from the blog.  I also invite my children to be guest bloggers.  Just email what you want me to blog and I'll put it up.

Now, in the beginning:

Gregg and I got engaged in June 1979

We married in the AZ temple on August 11, 1979

This is us on our 30th anniversary, on our trip to Spain (Gregg's mission)
and cruise to Italy and Greece.  We've now been married 32 years, but I couldn't
find any pictures where we look this good.

Then we had four children:  Cyndie, Neal, Melissa and Ashley

And we grew older.

And all our children are now married:  Cyndie to Tim, Neal to Krista, Melissa
to Garren, and Ashley to Bryant.  Melissa and Garren are the parents of Joshua and Miriam, Neal and Krista are the parents of Berkley.  Seamus (Cyndie and Tim's baby and Bryant, Ashley's husband were not around at this picture time)  I hate this picture of me - I don't know what was going on with
my hair, but it's bad.

So, now you have met the cast of characters in the blog.
