Two, Four, Six, Eight.......

This weekend Kaylan had a cheerleading showcase with all of the middle schools in Lexington performing............she did an awesome job and we are so proud of her (she is in the back row on the left in the photo.) Kaylan cheers for Tates Creek and the entire Titan squad did an amazing job. Let's just say I had a full serving of drama with plenty of bobby pins, hairspray, sponge rollers, bows and enthusiasm on the side.

A pic of Kaylan with one of her bff's, Sam, looking amazingly awesome
(Kaylan's favorite saying) before their showcase. Both of these girls were also recognized for maintaining a 3.0 or better throughout middle school. Pretty, talented and smart........what more could you ask for?
The Butler family also continued celebrating Daniel's hockey state championship with a great banquet complete with speeches, awards, slideshows and lots of yummy food. The pic above is after sitting for several hours and stuffing our faces. BTW Daniel did start off the night with his shirt tucked in.................what's a mom to do?
Daniel's high school also had an assembly where the hockey team was announced and honored. The Lexington Fire Department then gave the team and coaches a ride through town while their fans honked and cheered them on...............very cool!!!

Teddy with Daniel and our other son, Michael Champa, after the ride on the firetruck. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the celebration but I have to say Teddy was the happiest of them all................"take a picture of me on the truck, Kim."

We are the champions......my friend

Daniel's high school team, the Lexington Catholic Ice Knights defeated Trinity High School 2-0 in the State
Championship game on March 2nd in Louisville to become the K.H.S.H.L. (Kentucky High School Hockey League) Champions. We had a great season followed by a most awesome tournament where Daniel played a couple of his best games of the season.....way to go #29!!!

about 12 members of the hockey team came over to the butler house later that night to have their heads shaved, some of which started out with pretty long do's.............way to celebrate the win!!!!!!!!!!

My first post!!!

Just to let you all know, this is very new to me. I just recently discovered the world of blogging and have spent hours peeking into the lives of others. I know it's crazy..........it is 2008 and I had no idea what was available out there. I am going through a phase which causes me to do almost nothing but sleep during the day so I thought starting a blog might inspire me to get out in the world. Here is a little diddy about my fam. I am a stay at home mom who is very unorganized and has no excuse for it. My husband, Teddy and I are the parents to three of the most amazing kids in the world.

Daniel is 16 and a sophomore in high school. He plays hockey year round, loves music, works at our local roller rink and is the funniest person I know and we love him so much!


Our next in line is Kaylan who is 13 and is in 7th grade. She is a cheerleader, volleyball player, and runs track for her school. She is the sweetest, most talkative, always in a good mood child you could ever have.




And last but not least we have our baby Jensen. She is 9 years old and is in 4th grade. She plays soccer, takes violin and is in chorus and girl scouts. She is our shy but sweet, never sits still princess and we love her to death.




My husband Teddy and I have been married for 17 years and he is the most supportive, dedicated husband, worker and father. Please enjoy a taste of our life in the bluegrass and hopefully this will be the beginning of a wonderful adventure (or at least a pretty good time).
