Our First Trip with the Babies

About a month ago, I took my first break from work and Clint and I went on our first vacation here in Arizona. We loaded all 4 of the babies in the car (both of our mountain bikes and NEW road bikes!) and headed to Northern Arizona. We wanted to do a scenic mountain bike loop, and since we hadn't seen much great scenery in Phoenix, we decided to go up by Flagstaff to Mormon lake. It was the only loop around a lake that we knew of. We had a great time, and we both love our new bikes. It was nice to finally get to use them. And if anybody if looking for a good game of Bingo Saturday at 7 pm, you'll find it at Mormon Lake Lodge- unfortunately we didn't go, but we hear it's very exciting. It's even held in the fire station.

This was the "road" that Google maps led us to. Thank goodness for the GPS or we never would have found Mormon Lake. The Cav wasn't made for roads like this. We tried, but had to turn around.



This is the cabin where we stayed. It was in a great location, but it definitely didn't pass typical Baxter standards - it was pretty much camping with a private bathroom, which is definitely better than regular camping! (and we didn't have to buy a tent)


This is the road that we biked. It dark so it's hard to see, but the road we biked was beautiful - it looked like Utah

Our babies! Clint's is the red one, and mine are the blue ones you can't see that well.

The Honeymoon

Oh, how we love Cabo! We went to Cabo on our honeymoon and it was amazing! It's the perfect spot to go and chill for a week. This was the calm before the storm - I'm so happy we went on a low key honeymoon, because our lives were very chaotic after our return home.

Sitting on the beach with nothing to do. Why not make stupid faces and take pictures.

Not quite sure why there were more cats here this year, but they sure loved Clint and his chicken pasta. If he hadn't been holding it up they probably would have gotten it.


All of these pictures are starting to look the same - one arm length away from our faces. That's how it goes Amy gets to be the photographer.

Clint at the beginning of the week. It's amazing how tan he got in just one week. This is what Cabo is all about. Clint doesn't chill and do nothing quite as well as I do, but I'm hoping we can break him into the Baxter style vacation.

These are the best hotel beds ever - they are so soft

Swimming with the Dolphins

Clint and I swam with the dolphin on our Honeymoon. Our dolphin was an 8 year old female. She tried to french kiss Clint, and then spit in my face. Despite being spit on we both had a great time. We posted all of our dolphin pictures, because we have to get every penny's worth out of them.

The Wedding!

It's been a little over 5 months and I'm finally getting our blog started, and posting our first pictures as a married couple. It's been a great five months, and we've had lots of changes already. We made the move to Arizona and we are loving it down here. The summer was miserable because of the heat, but now that fall is here, we don't have any complaints. I love my job as a speech pathologist, and Clint is already in his second semester of pharmacy school. We can't believe how the time has flown by. Here are a couple pictures from the wedding, bridals, and our engagements.
