Just like mommy...

Rease sees me put lotion on every day and I always put my leg up on the counter to do it. I guess Rease learned this from me... Flexible little thing!

Whoops-a-daisy


It just happens sometimes...

Dutch Oven Cook-Off

Last weekend we had our first duch oven cook-off with a bunch of our friends. We had a great time and awesome food - even from those that didn't have much dutch oven experience!


The winners: Joe and Leslie for best dessert - pineapple upside down cake.

Kevin and Natalie best side dish - cornbread


And not pictured but made a delicious main dish were Adam and Lindsey - sausage and potatoes.
The kids had a great time playing together...


I have to mention the Winn's dessert - it looked like it was going to be yummy: chocolate cake with marshmallows, caramel and nuts. It didn't turn out like they hoped, but the concept was great! Better luck next time?
And cute Heidi practicing for her baby on the way! She is pro with Rhen.
Misty and Nate - great fruit! (They said they couldn't make dutch oven food so they brought fruit instead. We'll let you pass this time - but we expect something cooked next time!)
Most of all we had a blast with everyone. Thanks for making it a fun time!

Bees Game

Uncle Justin called us this morning and invited us to go to the Bees game with him at 10:30 - who knew they played in the middle of the day? So us three girls, grandma and uncle Justin spent the morning at the ball field. It was a sold out game because there were a bunch of elementary school kids there so we sat on the grass and actually had a great view of the game. Rease loved dancing to the music between innings and playing on the giant blow-up rabbit (she kept calling it the "animal." Fun times!

Hi! I'm 2 months old! Wanna know my stats?

Weight: 12 lbs - 76%

Height: 24.5 inches - 98%

I had to include these pictures too - the other day Josh had Rhen all wrapped up ready for a nap and then decided to take a nap of his own. Rhen obviously didn't fall asleep - good one dad!

Last Sunday we spent the day with Grandpa and Grandma Beutler and had a great visit with our dear friend Sherrie from Washington. She comes down every year for Women's Conference at BYU and it was great as always to see her again. She is the sweetest lady and I can see why her and Jeanie are such good friends - they're like two peas in a pod. We had a fun day together!

Just a taste...

Rhen had her first taste of chocolate - she couldn't stop licking her lips it was so delicious.

Pretty

My sister Hayley got engaged a few weeks ago -yeah! We went wedding dress shopping with her and Rease loved watching her try on all the pretty dresses. She finally talked one of the ladies into letting her try on a dress of her own.
Aunt Hayley taught her how to hold up her dress when she walks so she doesn't trip on it.

This was the first time I realized that Rease is becoming a girly girl and since then she loves dresses and putting on her "pretty dress." We went to a wedding just the other day and she couldn't keep her eyes off the bride's dress - she kept saying "pretty."

Someday Rease you'll be a beautiful bride too!

Hurry up summer...

I think we are all anxious for summertime. Rease must know it is getting close because last week she found her sunglasses and has been wearing them since - who cares if they're upside down, they still do their job.
Summer - please hurry so we can start playing outside and swimming in the pool.

Welcome Wyatt!

My beautiful sister-in-law Brittney had little Wyatt on Friday May 1st - don't they look great! Goob job Britt and we can't wait to meet Wyatt in person. Welcome to the family little one!

Rhen

This picture is totally Rhen:
When she is awake, she is miss wide-eyes. Even when I lay her down for naps, sometimes she'll lay there for 15 minutes with her eyes wide open before she actually falls asleep.
This shows the chunkiness that is starting to build around the middle - what can I say, she's a Beutler and loves to eat!
She is such an alert baby and pretty mellow most of the time. She loves to just hang out and see what's going on around her.
Still not much hair on top - plenty around the sides and back like a little bald man, but not much to show on top.
If possible, her legs have gotten longer this past week. I put on an outfit that fit her two weeks ago and now the pants are full on floods. Growth spurt? Still my long, lanky girl.
