About Us

We were married January 12, 2008 on an unusually warm beautiful day. On November 12 our wonderful daughter Alyssa joined our family. We love to go for walks, hike, camp, play lots of music and spend time with all of our family. We are grateful that we are able to be around so much family. Life is Beautiful.

It Snowed, AGAIN!!!


Twice in 1 week. It's a Merry Christmas in Vegas.




Because this glorious event doesn't happen that often, we decided to take advantage of this wonderful Christmas miracle. Everything looked so beautiful covered in snow. Peter and Jill had lots of fun playing in the snow with Aly









Aly had fun too, but quickly became exhausted.







Ah, Memories.

It SNOWED!!!


Here's Aly Getting ready to play in the snow.


Aly and Jill went and played in the snow for a little while. How often does it snow in Vegas.



Aly loved wathing the snowflakes fall from the sky.



But watching snow fall is hard work. So after we were done playing, Aly had to take a nap.

Welcom Alyssa


Alyssa Edythe Austin is the newest member of our little family. She was born on November 12, 2008. She weighed 9lbs 8 oz and was 21" long. She is so much fun. She loves to cuddle all the time making it hard for us to get anything done. But we really don't mind. She is a good baby and has slept through the night almost from day one. We love having Aly here with us. The doctor says that she is doing very well She is growing so fast. She is now 10lbs and 23" long putting her in the 94 percentile for her height. (For those of you doing the math, she lost 8 oz at birth so she has gained a total of 1lb.) Alyssa is a joy and has already found a special place in her mommy and daddy's hearts. We love our Aly.
