Hi there; I’m Chris, and I’m grimacing for the camera.

This is the expression that is always on BJ’s face.

I wonder who won this contest.

Miscellaneous Dorky Pictures

It has been decided – the official
Butler bird is the crow. Oh,
who was it that saved the day at the end of the movie,
“War of the Worlds” with
Tom Cruise – the crow. They pecked
the aliens to death.
And, there are the crows that go by
the names of Betsy and Bernie
who take up residence at the Target store parking lot
in Redmond, WA where Chris works.
“Beware, the end is near” (inside joke).

Melissa, Jenny, Courtney, and Chris using bananas as telephones
while riding down Splash Mountain at Disneyland in California.
|
Guerilla squirrel on the loose (note: this picture was
stolen from the internet and has no affiliation with the Butlers).
|
“Attention Animals: Beware of Human Food”
sign on the way up to Mt. Saint Helens in Washington.

while driving up to Park City in Utah.

So – what’s the family up to?
|
Boyd and Jacque are keeping very busy with their businesses, traveling, and
real estate investment. Melissa is up in Washington State working for Bocada,
a small software company headquartered in Bellevue, WA, and working on various
home-improvement projects when she’s not traveling for her job. Courtney graduated from
Utah State U. in Logan this past June with her Bachelor’s Degree in Ecology, and
still resides in Logan working for the Herbarium (a botany lab/plant museum) at the university.
Bri lives in his own 1-bedroom apartment in the basement of a
group home in Sandy, UT, and works part-time for Trax, the light-rail
transit system of Salt Lake valley.
Chris and BJ are busy living the lives of your typical college students.
Chris keeps Melissa company up at
her house in Duvall, WA while working
part-time at Target in Redmond and attending school full-time at a local
community college studying Computer Science.
BJ works for Boyd at Dr. Gas several hours a week while attending school full-time at the
University of Utah and is studying Engineering.
And Happy New Year!
Love, The Butlers, the cats, Tuffy, Boyd and Jacque’s five
ducks (Alfac 1-5 as Courtney likes to refer to them),
and the many fish that have taken up residence in Melissa’s aquariums.
