FRUSTRATED!!!!

I am going to be crazy by the time Abby is out of her new phase. I can't take her anywhere not to church, the store, the visitors center at the temple with my girls, to get pictures, absolutely nowhere. She screams (just for fun not because she's upset), cries, throws herself on the ground, throws things out of the cart, runs away and is just plain NAUGHTY. I usually can't even bribe her to be good. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I just want to kick and scream too I don't know what to do with her and I have considered some things I won't type so nobody turns me into health and welfare. I just had to write this up to get some of my frustration out so that I don't beat my child today. Thanks for listening any advice would be greatly appreciated.

One good thing about Winter

I am a little late updating but here goes anyway. Our Thanksgiving was fabulous and I hope everyone elses was also. The best part of the weekend for me was going Christmas Tree hunting it is a one of my FAVORITE Butikofer traditions. This year was great because we got to take along one of our great friends Becky (I think most of you know her but if not you'll probably meet her at Christmas, she is having a tough time right now and I have been trying to invite her to everything so she can remember the good things in this life.) We started off late but ended up in Driggs to get our permits around 12:30 then off we went into the wilderness to find the perfect tree. It was then that I realized I had forgotten my camera :( Oh well hopefully someone else will get me pictures (Becca?, Dece?) There wasn't as much snow this year as in years past but enough that Abby could be pulled on a sled which she liked very much although her mother had her layered so much she really couldn't move her little body at all. It didn't take us to long to find the perfect tree I think ours is about 15 feet tall thanks to Tyler who always needs a huge tree (complex?, just kidding). Abby went sledding down a little hill with cousin Tanner and Lexie and Mommy but, I think she liked it best when she went alone because she is a little dare devil. We stopped an ate lunch in this little diner we always eat at and our trip was over. I had a great time like always. Thanks family for a great afternoon love you guys.
