About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

Halloween Time at Disneyland!

Andy calls me the Disneyland scrooge, just because I don't like it as much as he does. I have to admit, that I had more fun this time in Disneyland, just because there were new things to see and do. They have the park all decked out for Halloween! It looked really cute! We went with Candice, Brandon, and Brevin, and we all had a great time!

This picture tells a funny story. I HATE being wet all day long, but EVERYONE wanted to go on splash mountain, so I had to go too. I told Andy that if I went, I wasn't sitting in the front, and he told me I had to, because he COULDN'T sit in the front. Now, I was just thinking he was teasing me, but in all seriousness, his legs are too long to sit in the very front. So, needless to say, I thought he was joking, and I MADE him sit in the front. To my surprise, the next day I saw this HUGE bruise. His knees kept banging into the ride up front since his legs are too long. SORRY BABY!!!!


These are the Jack ears that we purchased for our nieces and nephews, but we thought that we'd try them on and see how we looked in them. It's not a very pretty sight is it? So, we took them off, and back in the disneyland bag they went!

One of our favorite rides is Buzz Light year. This is Andy gearing up to go in and kill the evil Zurg!!! We found out some secrets to scoring big on the Buzz Light Year ride, and Andy was in the top 10 for the day with a score of 522,000! Go Andy!

Of the new rides, my favorite was Toy Story! It was awesome! It's 4D, and you ride through and play all these fun little games. It's always a big competition, but Andy always wins, even though I try my hardest! I wish he's let me win just once! :) This Mr. Potato head is awesome! He talks to the crowd, and moves all around, and it's super cute!


This is us headed into California Adventures! You can see some of the cute halloween decorations!



Even though I don't really care for the movie the Nightmare Before Christmas, I really LOVED how they changed the haunted mansion into the Nightmare Before Christmas. More to come! We recorded the entire ride, and so I'll post the video of it later! It was awesome!
