A Start...for G&G Beutler!

Here it is November 7th and I finally got into this blog once again and I will now try to keep it up.

Today is Robins birthday and if I may remenise a little ..she was a beautiful little baby to be named Emily but after she arrived ..she didn't look like an Emily so we named her Robin ,after a friend I had then and after my sweet sister, Ann.We lived in Provo at the time and she was a welcomed little sister to Dixie.
Now in her life, the past 12 months have been one of change..she has a family and is a step mother to 3 beautiful children and a wife to a wonderful man ..named Guy! We are so happy for you, Robin!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Our New Family Edition

We love the little ones joining our family. Don't you think Reese so much older? We are so proud of you guys Josh and Natalie. Nice job on the baby!!

Soup and Winter..... a great combination!

Last night I made homemade turkey noodle soup and made my own egg noodles. Last saturday I taught some gals from my sargent steam team how to make whole wheat bread from the grinding to the finished product ..we had fun and when the bread was hot out of the oven ...we had white bean soup. I love to share the recipe and so here it goes!

Christmas Party 2008

Dad and I attended the Sargent Steam Christmas Party at the Left Fork Grill on 39th street in Salt Lake on a very stormy evening! It was a nice time and we are opening our gifts from the owners which was some Christmas serving dishes! Dad had prime rib and I had halibut with a crispy parmesean coating . The food was delicous and company very good .

I am privileged to associate with good people who really are my mentors and friends!

There were about 20 people including spouses! Joyce my boss and Alex her hubby are just to the right of me.
