OCTOBER

For those of you you haven't heard...We have moved once again!

My parents moved to Utah and so we moved to their house and are taking care of it until it sells.

Even if this is a short lived arrangement, I am loving every second of it. 

My family has moved a lot in my life and this is my first real home. I hate to see it go, so I am enjoying it while I got it!

The View

This month has been a struggle, but there are so many blessings that come along with it so I can't complain.

We have been married for 4 years as of the 20th 

In September I found out I was pregnant. 

We had a doctor appointment on our anniversary.

At the appointment we found out I had miscarried. 

Its definitely been a testimony builder for me. I am so glad that I was in this great ward for this trial.

Dalton Gardens is Amazing!!!!!

So many stepped up and offered help and made this situation so much easier to go through.

I am also glad that I have my two sweet boys to love on and squeeze,

and one amazing husband who is so willing to be there for me.

Now back to the lighter things!

Boden and Gage got so excited when I pulled out the Halloween stuff. Boden wanted to wear Gages old costume. He makes one cute monkey!

 PUMPKINS!!

Gage loves to paint!

Papa requested a picture of a Gage original.

Yesterday Gage made this skeleton out of his hands and feet!

As Gage says "OOOOOooo, SCARY!"

Matching Jammies!!!!!!

Grandma + Grandpa "B"

Jon's parents have been on a church mission to Germany for the last 18 months and finally got home in August. We were unable to make it to Utah for their homecoming so in September we ran down to see them. 

 Boden was born while they were gone so he got to meet them for the first time.

We took Grandma to the mall.

Gage saw the ice cream shop and begged for "Cypeam".

Grandma can't resist that smile and the "peeeeeease". 

Jan's family came over for Traditional Beutler Family Sunday Dinner.

Gage was in heaven when Aunt Jan let him lick the beater from the pudding

Gage enjoying quality Grandpa time listening to him read a story book in German.

Grandma loving to hold sleeping Bo.

The Fair

 Becca and I took the boys to the fair. We walked around to all the different exhibits but the rides were calling Gage. I let him pick 2 rides.

 He loved every minute of it!

 then I made him find all the animal boards and took a picture, at first he thought it was fun.

 then...not so much

then...he got grumpy

I know this is a horrible picture but I crack up every time I see it!!!

Lake Pend Oreille

Back in August my dads buddy was taking my dad out on Lake Pend Oreille pronounced "Ponderay". We tagged along. It was so nice to see my dad on a boat again relaxing. I hope to get a boat again someday... excellent quality time with my daddy!

Bo Turns ONE & Water FUN

The local grocery store had a special on 1st birthdays.

If you buy a cake you get one free for the baby to dig into.

This is what Bo got all to himself!

I think you can tell a lot about the personality of the kid by the way they eat their first cake. Here they have gone most of their life without any type of sugar and if they did get any it was a small amount, then they turn one and a cake is placed in front of them with no holds, no direction as to what they are to do with it.
Our first little guy didn't want to eat his. He just mashed it up and threw it everywhere. Boden wanted it all in his mouth!

We had a impromptu photo shoot with balloons. All Bo's doing.

Jon's Favorite Picture of the day

Opening presents, got some help from big brother.

So, a while ago we got this blow up water slide thing, we blew it up for Boden's party.

Jon decided to get in his shorts and try it out.

Video Proof

Gage and Porter, best buds.

Callie and Gage hugging, so cute.

Berries and Beaches!

My parents have tons of raspberry bushes and as soon as they started turning pink they caught Gager's eyes.

When they were finally ripe Gager could not wait to learn how to pick them. Now every time we go to Grammy and Papa's house Gage gets his little red bucket and runs for the garden. I will be honest that most of the berries never it the bucket, they go straight in his belly.

Summer in the north-west started kind of late, so now that it's finally here we are soaking it in!

We have been going every Monday for family night which has been nice since Jon gets off work at 2

Gager didn't know what to think about the water. He loved just sitting on the beach playing in the sand. Bo had no reservations. He walked right in.

Kiddos in the sand

Mommy and Bo splashing in the water.

Independence Day!

instead of sparklers we got the boys light sticks,

which was a hit.
