A day with the kids

On Sunday the 13th of Sept. I took the kids to Discovery Park in P.G. efore going over to my nephews birthday party. It was fun to watch the kids run, play and get dirty. Then we just had to stop and take pictures with the"Monster" truck and it's tires. Yeah More Dirt! It was a fun day!!

Isaac's 9th Birthday

Isaac turned 9 on Sept. 16th so Ray And I took Isaac and the kids to Pirate Island in Orem. We had a lot of fun playing games, eating the Biggest Pizza I have ever seen ( The Kraken 24", It's HUGE people) and just spending time with the fam. The following Friday Isaac had his "Premier Party" with his "V.I.P." Friends. We rolled out the red carpet and each person got to show his best moves as the crowd cheered them on. Then they all had a chance to except their academy award. Then as the candles were blown out the outdoor movie began. They all had their sleeping bags and blankets rolled out on our front lawn to watch a double feature Bionicle and Zathura. All got a turn at the concession stand to choose their very own movie size candy, popcorn, nachos, and homemade root beer. Some had a late night and some got to sleep over. All in all it reached the highest scores ever seen at the Butts Family Box office! Next Showing TBA

Firebirds Poker Run Aug. '09

This is the kids highlight of the day! They get to go on a ride just for the kids, play a game at the end of the ride, and get a bag full of goodies! Nothing else can top this and our kids look forward to it every year! Thanks Firebirds for all the hard work!

Daddy to the rescue!

At the Firebirds annual Poker Run, Syrus learned how important it is to use his back brake on his motorcycle. Syrus got going a little TOO fast down a Very Steep, very rocky, with lots of turns hill. Ray and I were following behind Syrus and watched as he went faster and faster down this hill. We couldn't safely keep up with him and finally lost him after a few turns. We ended up catching up to him after he had crashed. We found him sitting on the ground, bike facing the way he had just came and tears streaking down his face. The first thing he said to his daddy was"I tried to ride it out, dad".

Syrus had a rough day with too really bad wrecks but it didn't stop him from finishing the ride and all said and done he had a lot of fun!
