Born May 4, 1990 to David L. and Lori G. Buhler, Matthew was a loving and much-loved son of our Heavenly Father. He attended Dilworth and Bonneville Elementary Schools, Clayton Middle School, and graduated from East High School in 2008. He had just completed his first semester (with straight A's) at the University of Utah where he was planning to major in Chemical Engineering. A whiz at mathematics and a quick learner, Matthew was enjoying school and looking forward to gaining a great university education. He worked part-time in the post office at the University Campus Store and prior to that at Trailside Cleaners. A gifted athlete, at various times of his life Matthew played and excelled at soccer, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, skiing and snowboarding. He loved physical fitness and exercise, and no matter how busy with homework, work, or social life, always dedicated at least an hour a day to working out. He also loved music and played the piano, drums, bass and guitar. He was an avid reader and enjoyed trips with his family to the Homestead, San Diego, Bear Lake, Washington D.C., New York City, Yellowstone, and especially Hawaii. Matthew loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was a Priest and active member of the Foothill Seventh Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and was preparing to serve a full-time mission. A special moment in his life was this past December when he visited the Alabama Birmingham Mission and had the opportunity to go with missionaries to teach the Gospel. With a million-dollar smile and dry wit, Matthew had many friends and touched many lives and will be missed by more people than he realized. He loved his devoted dog, Dawson. Matthew was preceded in death by his loving grandparents, Gene and Lois Goaslind and Robert and Phyllis Buhler, and by a cousin, Abigail Taber. He is survived by his parents, his younger brother and best friend Spencer, sisters Jennifer, Emily and Allison, and numerous cousins and aunts and uncles. "Matthew, we love you with all our hearts. You have left a large void in our family, and we will miss you every day of our lives. And yet, we look forward in faith to the day when we will see you again and you will greet us with open arms." Funeral services will be on Friday, January 23, 2009, at 12:00 Noon, at the LDS chapel at 2215 East Roosevelt Avenue, Salt Lake City. Friends may call at the chapel Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. prior to the service. Interment: Sunset Lawn Cemetery. Funeral directors: Russon Brothers Mortuary.

I can't believe she is 7 already. I still remember driving to the hospital straight after work to go see her for the first time!! She had a hard start and was up at Primary Childrens Hospital for a while and had surgery on her newborn tiny body. She pulled through and is a very active healthy little girl, you wouldnt even know she had such a hard beginning.<br />She got spoiled!! all the kids love getting together to play, they have the best time and no one ever wants to go home!! It's the best being so close to your family, and making best friends within that family. I only had 2 cousins that I saw and they were much older than me, so I love the fact that my kids have so many cousins in their age group.<br />Later that night we went over to Chad's mom house to celebrate Nick's 30th birthday with a dinner. We always have a great time with Chads family too. We all get along and we enjoy eachothers company we sit and talk and goof around while the kids play and have a great time!!!<br />Monday (memorial Day) not such a great day for me. But thank goodness Chad had the day off work to be able to watch the kids. I was sick in bed all day except for the few times I had to run to the bathroom to throwup!! yuck!! We had plans to go see the new Indiana Jones Movie but we had to cancel them...bummer! Maybe next weekend.<br />This morning I woke up feeling achey and yucky again but now I feel almost back to normal...what a weird bug!! <br />We think we might go camping this weekend but we will see, it is supposed to be good weather but who knows!!!Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-91962704563706860412008-05-27T21:35:00.001-07:002008-05-27T21:35:41.414-07:00<div><embed src="http://widget-23.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=lt&il=1&channel=504403158295030819&site=widget-23.slide.com" style="width:426px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:426px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&at=un&id=504403158295030819&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-23.slide.com/p1/504403158295030819/lt_t054_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&at=un&id=504403158295030819&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-23.slide.com/p2/504403158295030819/lt_t054_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-2916771710153805322008-05-23T22:14:00.001-07:002008-05-23T22:14:48.751-07:00A Day with Thomas<div><embed src="http://widget-e0.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=504403158294997728&site=widget-e0.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=504403158294997728&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e0.slide.com/p1/504403158294997728/bb_t042_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=504403158294997728&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e0.slide.com/p2/504403158294997728/bb_t042_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-86533403083627183182008-05-20T22:11:00.001-07:002008-05-20T22:11:30.354-07:00Hogle Zoo<div><embed src="http://widget-88.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1873497445000434312&site=widget-88.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1873497445000434312&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-88.slide.com/p1/1873497445000434312/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1873497445000434312&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-88.slide.com/p2/1873497445000434312/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-53129578750485564322008-05-20T21:14:00.000-07:002008-05-20T21:20:51.317-07:00Cutie Patootie!My Friends Keri and James came over to visit before they left on their trip to Disney World (we are so jealous) they brought with them their stinkin' cute 2 month old boy, David.

Darrel and Rose are officially moving everything in at the end of the month, they were going to be closing on their home up in salt lake the following wednesday. We rode down with Casey and D and baby Preston. This was their first road trip with the little guy and 4 hours in a car can go great (if they are sleeping) or it can go how it did with our trip down.<br />We stopped in Scipio , Austin had to go potty, and D though she would feed the baby. Well, he wouldnt really eat, and while she was feeding him she felt a warm feeling on her legs and tummy. He had an exploding diaper that got all over him, his blanket, and all over D!!! I helped her in the bathroom, try and clean him up and change his outfit, about an hour later we were back on the road. I guess he was crying pretty hard so they decided to pull over and try feeding him again. and It pretty much went on like this the rest of the way. A 4 hour car ride turned into 6....I am sure they dont think it is funny, yet but someday they will.<br /><br />Darrel, Chad, Austin, Asenath, Lil D, Nick, Kim and Jaydyn went on the spooky gulch (its a slot canyon with narrow passages) hike. And the little ones did really good they all had their moments but did really good. <br />The next morning (Saturday) The Easter Bunny had come and left a big easter egg hunt....the kids had a lot of fun and so did the adults, because we got to watch their excitement. We then went over to Grandma Roundy's house. She has a huge property full of trees and shrubs and sand hills where the boys like to play paintball so we played for a few hours. My only goal was to get Nick. I had no such luck so at our final game, I said Nick" It's on, put your mask back on and lets go" We had a little shootout...He got me first but I kept shooting I was determined to get him and finally I got him on the top of his head....sweet victory (in my book) The only bad thing about the trip is, I dropped our camera and it broke!!!<br /><br />The drive home went much better. We got home on Sunday around noon. My mom had made some Ham and Cheesy potatoes and the best dessert ever...her strawberry shortcake...yummy! We also had another easter egg hunt for the kids, it was so fun!!!Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-333098262371519022008-04-02T12:30:00.000-07:002008-04-02T12:33:39.271-07:00funny?I know Chad and I shouldnt think things like this are funny anymore but over the weekend Austin asked Chad and I a question so sincerely but it was gross and funny so we both laughed he got a little upset, but you'll see why, this is how it went:<br /><br />Austin:"mommy?"<br />Me:"yes?"<br />Austin:"If you stick your hand up your bum really far, will it come out your mouth?"<br />(laughter from the front seat from Chad and I)<br />Austin: "stop it!"<br />Chad: "ya buddy, it would, but dont ever try it, your smart to be able to figure that out."<br />Austin: "I know"Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-25264614632938770402008-03-17T18:59:00.000-07:002008-03-17T19:01:36.639-07:00This was a while ago but it is something I dont want to forget....<br /><br />while we were driving down the road, Austin shouted out "STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!"<br /><br />I said "who are you talking to?"<br /><br />He said: "The Sun"<br /><br />The sunlight was shining right in his face and he had to keep his eyes squinted....so cute!!Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-21710267087180167002008-03-17T18:58:00.002-07:002008-03-17T18:59:19.028-07:00Alyssa has started undressing herself and tries to get dressed on her own too!Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-18746473072823112302008-03-17T18:58:00.001-07:002008-03-17T18:58:20.031-07:00Chad's Aunt Viki and cousin Margo came up to Salt Lake from Arizona to visit. We all got together tonight for a family dinner. It was good to see everyone. I can't believe how much everyone changes each time I see them. <br />Babies were the hot topic of discussion tonight. Viki's daughter had her 3rd AND 4th daughter--TWINS, on Valentines Day. Their names are Isabelle and Olivia. Kim had her little baby Seth not too long ago on November 18th and Casey and D had their first little babyboy-Preston on February 27th. So our family has had a bit of baby fever!! And because I get to be the aunt and not the new mommy this time around, I am loving every minute of it (baby is snuggly and cute in my arms...baby starts crying and goes to mom or dads arms)... It was good to see everyone.<br />Austin and Alyssa are getting to the point that they fight bedtime. I remember doing this myself, so I am sure it is just payback. I told Austin that if he would please go to bed and stay in bed then I would take him to go see the Easter Bunny at South Towne Mall on Wednesday.....he quickly did as I asked. I am excited to go. I invited my best friend from high school, Jessica and her little boy Noah who is Austin's age to come with. I hope it works out. It seems like every time we try and do something one of us has something....I guess that is the life after high school, being married and having children. I am glad that we even keep in touch at all.Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-2333904629620707972008-03-15T22:09:00.000-07:002008-03-15T22:12:46.480-07:00Austin's entered the world of questions....as in he asks them non-stop. As of right now I love it!<br />his latest are about different animals teeth and eating habits...<br /><br />"Mom, polar bears dont bite people, they only bite fish because they live where it's cold, but what about at the zoo, do they bite people there?"<br /><br />"Mom, do Sharks bite snakes?"<br /><br />"Dad, the lions can't get me at the zoo, because they are in a cage,right?"Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-42131016617390822512008-03-15T22:07:00.000-07:002008-03-15T22:08:59.329-07:00Alyssa's new word...cuz!<br /><br />Alyssa why are you dumping that powdered sugar out on the table...."cuz."Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997375473670727135.post-21729745087763298332008-03-15T21:58:00.000-07:002008-03-15T22:07:15.318-07:00Last night I stayed up with Ashley until 5am!!! Why you ask?!?! We have been so bogged down watching kids from sun up until sun down and we stayed up late just doing girly things and having a good time. I paid for it today though...I have been exhausted all day. We went out to lunch with Luan, Nick Kim and kids, and I brought Grace along since I was tending her today. We went to Cafe Rio...yummy! I was hoping Diana and Preston would come but they weren't feeling up to it quite yet. We are getting together for dinner tomorrow night at Nick and Kim's with Chad's Aunts and cousins and they are planning on coming to that. I did get to see Seth and he is growing so fast. He looks like a little boy and not a newborn anymore. The weather has been so nice and then we got a surprise snow stormwith 1 1/2 inches...crazy!! We went out to dinner with my mom, Melissa and Grace, Jeff and Jen and Ashley. It was fun we don't really ever go out to dinner with my family, so it was afun change. Chad and I were invited to Adam Lynch's 30th birthday party. We weren't able to go. We stayed home hoping to talk to Jeana about how she has been acting lately, but surprise, surprise she didn't get home until after 8pm...I was bummed that I had to miss the party. I dont really get to see Jessica very often. We are hopefully going to try to get together on Monday. Tomorrow is our Stake Conference. Elder Dallin H. Oaks , a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Is speaking. I better get to bed so I can get the sleep I need to pay attention!Chad and Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07366829790138899509noreply@blogger.com0
