2010 has been a great year for our family. The Lord's blessings have poured upon us this year and we are very thankful for all our friends and family that have loved and supported us.The beginning of the year, Austin's hard work paid off when he Graduated with his MBA. He has also enjoyed playing on many softball leagues and a basketball league that he organized. This past October he quit his job at Northrup Grumman began working at Hill Air Force Base and is enjoying his"cushy" job working for the government. Austin has also enjoyed getting into an excersize routine as he ran his first 1/2 marathon in September. He also started doing P90x in which he got 2/3 the way through, but got an neck and wrist injury so had to take a break. After a couple week break, he was about to start back up but in the last few days sprained his ankle playing basketball. Poor guy!
Marlynn begun teaching her 8th year of Kindergarten. This fall she began working "afternoon" Kindergarten and has enjoyed the mornings off with the boys. In April she ran her first 1/2 marathon and also in June ran the Wasatch Back with several girls in the ward. She ran another 1/2 marathon in September which Austin ran with her. (of course he beat her time!) In June Marlynn was called to be a organist for the ward, which has been a challenge. Also this December Marlynn was called to be the Beehive advisor in Young Womens, which she is excited about.
This summer Austin and Marlynn had the opportunity to go on an Alaskan Cruise thanks to Aunt Marie who came and stayed with the kids. We also stayed 1 night in Seattle where we got to see the Red Sox play the Mariners and also see the Space needle. We had a great time!
This year Jack started Kindergarten and is loving it. He goes with Marlynn to school, but is not in her class. He has enjoyed making new friends and is learning to read. This fall we put him in soccer with his age group, but in the first game scored 10 goals, so we moved him into the older group where he seemed to fit right in. (yes, Austin is so proud) He loves star wars, video games, playing with his friends, and playing sports with Austin in the back yard.
Luke is a delight in our family! He is the sweetest little boy and we are having so much fun with him! 2 year olds are so much fun because they say and do the cutest things. He is obsessed with Elmo and Toy Story. He loves playing with his older brother and copies everything Jack does. He absolutely loves books! He has a million toys, but we always find him sitting in the middle of a pile of books. For only being 2 he talks really well and we laugh at all the funny things he says. 
We are looking foward to 2011. 2011 looks like a another great year, as we are expecting our first little girl in June. We hope that the Lord continues to bless us this upcoming year!
