Butz Family Reunion

Dont be surprised if we don't respond to civilization for a while we are reading the new Harry Potter book and can't tear ourselves from it. Matt and I have battled over the book a few times already. We did manage to take break for some company and fun last night. We are only half way through and hoping no outside information reaches us before we are finished.




Last night we had an impromptu dinner party for Matt's grandmother, Nonnie. We all enjoyed getting together and telling old stories. The little one, Kori 8 months, stole the show and entertained all of us.

Matt's Birthday!




Matt's birthday was a fun celebrations this year ALL because he recieved so many great cards. The musical cards gave us hours of fun, especially Dad's. On the front of the card was a plate of chicken wings. On the inside it said "these chickens gave their life for you, you should celebrate" and then it played the chicken dance song.

4th of July

Uncle Mike and Uncle Chris



Wow! We had an amazing vacation with the Albertson family in Detroit Lakes. We had the best fishing of our lives along with outstanding weather. Sarah and I even discovered the benefits of using a paddleboat for catching the big ones. Saylor's favorite part of the vacation was "spending time with family that we dont get to see". Tagg's favorite part was swimming and smores. Matt was relaxed during his spa time, what a fabulous hotel/resort.

Tagg turns 5 years old





Tagg had a birthday this week! He had requested a Charlottes Web cake and Dad was very creative with his baking skills to honor this request. Where did our baby boy go? I couldn't resist a few old pictures to show how much Tagg has changed.

Dad's 60th birthday



The Albertson clan all gathered in Kansas City MO for a fun filled weekend to celebrate Dad's birthday. There was lots of eating shopping and swimming to enjoy together. After a fabulous meal we all gathered at a local fountain for a family picture.
