BLOG GOING PRIVATE

We have decided that it is time to make our blog private. I guess you can say that we are a bit paranoid. Anyway, I am sure it will take me a while to get it all sorted out, but that is why I wanted to post this now to give people time to see this and request to be invited. If you are already on my Blog list, I will invite you. Again, it may take a while, and if you come back and it is private and I haven't invited you, just let us know. I am going to REALLY try to hard to get anybody who has left comments etc. I am hoping to have this done by maybe, December.... you think that is enough time?

Thanks everybody!

Oh, I guess I can do a short update with no pictures... Connor is starting to walk a little, and Skyler is standing by himself and is so proud!

One Year Old!!!

So... We are proud to announce that we made it through the first year of the boys life.... and lived to tell about it. We didn't do anything big for the boys. We just had some family over and did cake (we forgot the ice cream) and a BBQ. It was the marathon weekend so Papa Craig, Grandma Teresa and Uncle Randy were in town, needless to say it was quite a busy week for all of us.

The boys are so much fun. In September we moved the boys to their forward facing car seats and they seem to be enjoying it. They also went off formula and on to whole milk. We went to a park where they have a splash pad, but the boy enjoyed the shallow pool/pond they have for the kids to play in. Right now they boys really enjoy trucks and balls. They don't talk but "dada" might be the only one classified as a word that is actually used in the right context. The boys like sit down and read books, they also are fascinated by doors, and like to push them open and shut. They like to be outside and go for runs in the stroller.

MARATHON NEWS

David ran the St. George Marathon in 4:23. His Dad (Craig) and brother (Randy) ran as well. David's mom (Teresa), the boys and I were there to cheer them on as they crossed the finish line. It rained almost the whole race, and was cold. David's is super sore, but we are all so proud of his accomplishment.
