She was giggling and babbling as I dried her off with a beach towel after our swim. What a happy angel baby we have! 

Water babes. 

Chris and Tyler assist Katie with her first swim in the pool. The temperature was 101'F today. I think the pool water was actually starting to boil. 

Chris and Katie are ready for church. Our smiley girl is wearing a dress that Grama Beutel made for her. She got so many compliments on it at church. 

The Beutel family (plus Sean Geiger) taken Sunday, July 3rd. We gathered for brunch to celebrate Katie's christening.  

Sam loves his new sandbox, a birthday gift from Aunt Heather.

Cody, Zach, and Tyler having fun in the sun. 

All four of us struggled to get in this shot and this was the best we could do. I'm not sure Katie understood what all the fuss was about. 

Katie's first swim in the lake. Daddy was holding on for dear life! 

Sam and Katie are already fast friends. 

Connor Jackson is making a pass at our Katie. As Shawn Jackson likes to say, there's still a chance for the Jackson and Beutel bloodlines to merge.  

Tyler enjoys a cold one also....but this time, it's apple juice. 

Chris and Sean enjoy a cold beer on a warm night. 

Grama shares a story with Katie. 

Our sweet girl loves to chew on any part of me she can. In this case, she was attempting to eat my entire shoulder, shirt included. 

Katie enjoys playtime with Grampa.
