I had it redone today (my hair) .  It's better I think.  I think I'll find a new hair dresser though.... I promise I'll stop talking about it now.

all 'bout me

okay I have lived with my hair for over 24 hours now and it just aint flyin.  I'm getting it re done tomorrow morning.  I'm not sure what to have her do to it now.  Most people tell me they like it better really blonde but then some say they like me better dark.  What is YOUR opinion?  Oh and I saw my friend Krista today and she mentioned my new do and color.  I told her I hated the color and she said "why, is it too grey looking for you?"  So there!  I was right! lol  (no, she doesn't read my blog).

HELP

SO I just got my hair done and I HATE it.  The stylists tried to convince me that it looked really good and really natural.  I told her that I would try living with it for a couple of days and seeing if I could get used to it and change my mind.  I also told her I thought it looked salt and pepper grey.  I really hate it and I need everyones opinion.  Is it just me do I just need to get used to it?  Or is it grey?  Just tell me what you think and if you're someone that just reads my blog but never comments, now is the time to comment!

He has a Camaro too...

I saw this guy on COPS lat week!

Halloween Granny

I stole this from Wendy. I see my near future without the surgery...

the dance off

I know it's long but how could I stop taping with those sweet moves?! (sorry about my singing)

the band

I had to put it on you tube to get it on my blog. Blogger wouldn't download any of the band videos for some reason.

Dolphins must love me....

I've lived next to the ocean most of my life.  Visited a few different oceans in the world as well.   Something I've always enjoyed is watching the dolphins play in the surf.  On many days in Carlsbad you can sit on the shore and see the dolphins swimming in the surf.  I've been on boats in the ocean dozens of times as well and have seen lots of dolphins swimming along with the boat.  On one occasion I was on a ship headed from Long Beach, ca. to Catalina Island and there were dolphins all around the ship as far as the eye could see in all directions.  It was quite the sight.  I've seen dolphins in the ocean all along the California and Oregon coasts.  I've seen them in Mexico, Hawaii, Florida and even France.  So I was shocked to hear from my daughter Emily that her 'science' teacher told the class (which all gasped in horror) last week that there are only 600 dolphins left in the worlds oceans.  WOW, indoctrination starts young.  Or could it be that those dolphins just love me and follow me in my travels... hmmmm

So scary

At the request of Heidie Lee.  Here are some pictures of our Halloween house.

and the scariest image of all.....

more...

 This was a bit tricky ti take pictures with a messy house.  I suppose that could have just added to how SCARY it all is...

such a stud...

a trip back....

I've been having some fun scanning some old photos.  Yeas, those ARE John and I!  The little boy is Christopher.

I'm with the band

Christopher and Johns band played at youth conference last weekend.  It was a lot of fun to watch them.  As you can see Christopher had quite the fan club.

One Year

One year. That's how long it has been since my sweet niece Michelle Maline Butler passed away. In some ways it has gone by so fast and yet I miss her so much it seems like I haven't seen her in forever. I know she is happy and in a beautiful place but I can't help but feel sad and sorry for myself and her family. One would think that because we have lived so far away from her the last eight years that I wouldn't be missing her yet. I miss her so much it aches. You could never be in the same room with Michelle without knowing she was there. Sometimes because of mischief but most times because of laughter. It's hard to even imagine how much the Butlers all miss her. I just wish I could hug her and tell her how much I love her one more time. Someday I'll get that chance... I'm thinking about you guys today (all the butlers, esp. Wendy). I hope you can draw some strength and comfort from general conference today. I love you
