Beutler Family Adventures: February 2020

Happy 2nd Birthday, Macy!

February 9th, 2020

Decorating Valentines Cookies with Grandma and Grandpa Blacker

We finally got a puppy!!! It took a lot of negotiating on my part, but when Dave realized I wasn't going to take no for an answer this time he took advantage and got a ski trip and a new mattress out of it. Meet Mac, born 12-5-2019. AKA Big Mac, Maccy Doo, Mac Attack, and many more fun nicknames. He weighed about 3 pounds when we brought him home and should grow to be between 7-9 pounds.

Cole was pretty excited to take Mac on his first walk.

Clara's preschool carpool buddies had to come in and meet the new puppy.

Dave and Lexi's Skiing Adventure

I made several baby quilts this month. Lots of friends/family having little ones!

At the end of January/beginning of February I got really sick with what I thought was the flu. Unfortunately, that nastiness turned into Pneumonia. Upper respiratory illnesses are not fun!!! Thank Goodness I had Mom and Dad here to help us out while I was sick.

Random Fun in February

Clara has fun playing with our neighbors Macie and Boston (Clara's in the middle)

A beautiful spring sunset in Colorado Springs.

Cole made a "Cole Island" map for a geography project. It's a little hard to read, but it's a mysterious island, with a teal sea in the middle (teal is his favorite color), pizza peaks, lake Beutler, sibling swamp, puffin beach, field of flies, lolipop lake, pea peninsula, and happy hollow. It brought a smile to my face.

Macy LOVES taking selfies. It cracks me up - when she can see herself on the camera she smiles 10x's bigger than normal.

Lexi lost her top front tooth!

Lexi started taking a gymnastics class again. She is strong! I missed the photo at the top of the rope, but she gets there.

Family walk on a warm Sunday.

Macy was helping Grandma butter the buns. I think she ate more butter than she actually got on the buns.

Macy has also recently discovered a love of painting.

For a date night one evening Dave and I hung out at his office and finally put up all of his diplomas and a couple family pictures. I know - we're pretty exciting! ;-)

I was making frosting and some powdered sugar spilled out of the bowl. Before I realized it I found Macy licking the counter frantically to get it all. I guess I need to be quicker!
