What a month we’ve had!

 

Rease band concert

We got to see Rease perform in her symphonic band concert tonight!  She loves playing the French horn and it never gets old seeing her do what she loves to do.  This band is headed to State in a few weeks and they have worked hard!  This was a great warm up concert for what they’re about to do.  Good luck!

 

Uncle Greg

Life is always just a little better and brighter when Uncle Greg comes around!  We love the drop in visits and the time we get to spend with one of our favorite people of all time. We got to spend the evening with good food, outdoor football games and a band concert to round it out.  Thanks for taking the time to be with us!

Temple trip for Keen

Being a new Deacon this year, Keen was so excited to be able to attend the temple and do baptisms.  We got up early this morning and took him on his own and it was super special to be there with him.  He has a certain light about him that is contagious and I know he has a lot of good to do in the world!  So proud of this boy and his love for the Lord!

 

Principal's Pride Desh

Desh got the Principal's Pride award today at school and he is very deserving of it!  He works so hard and has loved making new friends at his new school this year - not an easy task for kids.  We were so proud to be there and watch him get this award!

 

Book of Mormon read-a-thon

In preparation for youth conference this summer, our stake young men and young women's presidencies hosted a Book of Mormon read-a-thon this weekend.  The goal was to get the kids together in one spot (the stake center gym) and have them listen to (and read along) the whole Book of Mormon in one day.  It had to be listened to on triple speed to be able to get through it all and at times it seemed like it was a little chaotic...But I was so proud of all the kids that showed up and spent the day reading and listening along!  That was a big sacrifice for them to spend a whole Saturday doing that and I was overwhelmed with their goodness! We made it ALMOST all the way through, but ended about 10:00 pm with just a few chapters left that the kids were asked to read and finish on their own.  What a great day for our youth!

 

Snow Days

Bring it on snow!  We've had a string of storms hit us and still more to come and we can't get enough!  There's nothing better than tons of snow to get us through the long winter.  We might as well ski our way through if its going to be cold anyway!

 

Beutler brothers

Once in a while we get these two together and the similarities between them really show up!  Today as Andy was visiting us, I glanced over to catch the two of them looking at something and laughing together.  It reminded me that brothers need each other and sometimes its just great to get together and laugh!

 

Ski Season 2024

We couldn't be more excited about ski season starting in our house!  The good news is we've had a handful of storms lately (and more on the way) that it's made for an early GOOD start to the season this year which is amazing!  The kids love every second they get to be on the mountain and we snuck up this weekend all together to get a day in before lessons start for the Beck and Desh next week.  Looking forward to lots of snow and many days in the powder!

 

Hopkinson sleepover

This weekend we had a cousin sleepover with the Hopkinson kids and it's always a good time when all these kids are together!  Nothing gets better than snuggling up together on the floor to watch a movie and falling asleep there for the night.  We woke up the next morning and they were all still there sleeping together.  Love this crew!

 

Plinko night

Our Young Women's class hosted a Plinko Trivia night for the young men and young women in our ward.  It was a blast with lots of prizes, challenges and trivia that got super competitive.  Love all the youth in our ward that love to be together!

 

Happy Birthday Josh!

Happy 45th birthday to the one that keeps our family strong! This man is the reason why we can say we're Beutlers and be proud of it.  He teaches all of us to be persistent, think deep thoughts, believe in our dreams and then supports us in all that we do.  Meanwhile, he has dreams of his own that he's not afraid to go after (think future horticulturist!) We are better people because he is the man of our house! Happiest birthday to our best man!
