Luke's Blessing

Isn't he adorable?!?!


So angelic!!!!


My best friend Noelle holding Luke!!!


Ahhhh, family!!!


Four generations!

Luke's blessing was a little different than our other kids' was. We blessed him on Saturday at Brian's old Ward building, and everyone was in their street clothes except for the men in the circle. It was different, but the spirit was still there. We are so grateful to have Luke and we are so thankful to everyone who came and traveled in snowy weather to be there. We feel so loved!!

Party Time

KISSIN' COUSINS-HA! HA!


ALL THE BUTIKOFER GRANDKIDS, SO FAR (ONE MORE COMIN' IN FEBRUARY!!


JOSH AND MIKE LOVE TO OPEN PRESENTS!!!


ISN'T MIA A GOOD BABY SITTER?

Well, we are back from IF and man did we party. We started Saturday afternoon with the Taylor Christmas party and then after that, we went to the Butikofer Christmas party. I have to say it was a lot of fun being around our families. And having the kids play with all their cousins. I miss being able to see my family all the time so it was so nice to see them again even if it wasn't for very long. I love you guys!!!!!!!

We Love Christmas

Well, we had a pretty good Christmas. Brian was on call this year and was at work the pretty much the whole day and night which was a bummer, but we did tried to enjoy the day. Josh and Mike we so good this year that Santa brought just what they wanted. And Mom and Dad got baby Luke (what more could you want)!!!! Now we get to go to Idaho Falls and have Christmas again, and eat ourselves to death! YEAH!!! We love you all and hope you had a great Christmas.

The Tooth Fairy Finally Comes to the Taylor's

Well, the tooth fairy finally got to come to the Taylor's house. Josh lost his first tooth. . . well, kind of. We noticed this last weekend that he had a tooth that came through behind his baby tooth so yesterday we went to the dentist and he had to pull the baby tooth out. But a tooth is a tooth and the fairy took it and gave Josh a gold dollar. Hurray!!!!

CAUTION: This could happen to you if you kiss Santa!!

So again, more pictures. But I had totally forgotten about this adorable outfit that Tina got me that I wanted to use for our Christmas cards (And when you get your Christmas cards you will see that I forgot!). So I had to take pictures of him in the adorable outfit and post them for all to see. And as an FYI, Luke had to go to the Dr.'s today to get a PKU done and he weighed 7lbs. 7.5 oz. He gained an entire pound in less than two weeks. YEAH!!! And since I don't want you to forget my other cute kids, I included a picture of our first snowman of the season, and yes it is pitiful compared to the Utah snowmen or Eastern Idaho snowmen, but we take what we can get!!!

More Pictures of Luke

I know--it's like I'm a first time Mom with all theses pictures I am posting of Luke, but dang, he is cute. And our neighbor, who dabbles in photography, wanted to do pictures of him so I had to post them!!!

Presenting Luke Hulet

I decided since Luke is pretty much a week old now, it was time for a photography session. He is doing so well. He sleeps pretty good at night (at least a few hours at a time, usually) and is just content to sit and look around. So if the first week is the hardest, I am going to be doing great. Of course, next week I will have to take care of my other kids again (thanks again, Tina). So we will see how it goes. Enjoy the pictures!
