Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
So here is our attempt to catch up on the blog while sending out our e-card. We know every year we say, "next year we will send out a real card" and never do so we aren't making any promises. However, this year we've been ripping off addresses off the cards we received so we can actually have a mailing list for next year, so we will see. It has been nice to hear from you and see your beautiful families. This has be an awesome year for us with Sarah not being pregnant and tied down with breast feeding. We both took advantage and got into running. We both completed a half marathon and Andrew went on to do the whole thing on Labor Day.


After barely training because he was too busy traveling to Alaska, Germany and London, Andrew met his goal by running it in under 4 hours. If you squint you can make his time on the sign.Sarah was so proud of him and couldn't help but get choked up at every runner crossing the finish line. Maybe one day it will be her. A day later we headed off to Cancun to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary. We had the most amazing time and hope that it is not too long before we can go back.
We enjoyed stuffing ourselves silly with all the food we could ever ask for and chill by the pool and beach.
In October, Joint Juice was running a deal that Andrew got addicted too and Sarah loved every minute of it. Needless to say these were all free plus we got over $700 in free groceries. We took advantage and got some food storage. The end of the deal brought us to Halloween. It was a blast for both the kids. Reynolds loved dressing up as his new obsession, Elmo. Jane ALWAYS loves to dress up so she was a natural as a beautiful fairy.

In September Jane stared a ballet and tap class. They preformed the nut cracker for there Christmas performance and it couldn't have been more precious to watch.The kids are growing and changing all the time. Jane loves to do anything where she is learning or crafting. Her latest thing is playing games on the PBS website. She would spend hours playing games if we let her.
Reynolds is our little ball of energy and jokester. He loves anything that has to do with sports, skateboarding or wrestling. It has been so fun to watch him change into his own little person this year.

We hope that this finds each of you well this time of season. We are so grateful for our knowledge of the Savior and our testimonies of the Gospel. We are so grateful to each of you in our lives!

so good to see pictures and hear from you guys. You're better than me, I didn't send out cards (mail or e-cards) and I really have no excuse! How fun that you got to go to Mexico. The kids are adorable and you can just see their little personalities. We'll have to get together sometime. Come visit us!
