"I see babies cry and I watch them grow"...

Heidi and Marshal went to visit her sister Robyn the past week in CA and see her new arrival, baby Annie. It was good to see Her and her family and see some of the sights in the area. We attempted to go climbing twice but one dry waterfall area wasn't so dry. We let the boys play in the water for a bit and went on a small hike, it felt nice to feel the sun. The boys were fun to watch playing and will be best buds in the years to come. It was nice to get out and do some runs with Carleton too, it was nice to take the boys in the double stroller because I felt like people would be impressed with me out running with "twins." Rob is a great mom and is always busy with different projects, I wish her the best adjusting to two.

Josh and the girls had fun while Heidi was away. Josh took them climbing at the climbing gym, hiking up the canyon, swimming, movies, and even made a little monkey and kitty at Build a Bear. They also enjoyed king crab, Olive Garden, and Cheesecake Factory. Gees, I'm sure they were sad to see mom come home. What a good dad Josh is! I'm so thankful for all he does with the kids and what a help he is for me!

The day of Annie's blessing, she looked so pretty!
We all had our hands full

I think Apollo was glad to see Marsh go because
Marshal kept attacking him with sloppy kisses.
Although it does appear Apollo enjoyed this one.

We finally decided to start a blog to share some of us with you. We also wanted to do something to help us remember all the fun times we have and all our travels. Our family loves to travel, in 2008 we visited... Cancun, Moab, Sedona, Jersey, NYC, D.C., California, Idaho, New Mexico, Belieze, and Cozumel. Since 2009 we have been back to Cancun, CA, and are looking forward to our annual Moab trip in April before spending the summer in San Antonio TX.

Josh and Heidi have been enjoying the "off season" from APX sales and keeping busy with the kids. Josh spends his free time climbing with Maddy, running up the canyon, and getting buff with P90X. Heidi has enjoyed decorating the new house, teaching the kids new tricks, and running on the mountain trails.

Maddy is finishing up her first year of kindergarten and loves the social scene it offers. Her teacher says "She's a smart kid, but we are working on her quiet voice" -good luck with that! Gracy is two and runs the show when her and Maddy play together. She loves dressing up and has to do everything "all by self." Marshal is still happy go lucky and brings a lot of smiles and joy to the house. He finally got his first two teeth and will be running around shortly.
