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.

Learning Lots

Ethan is learning so much lately, and I really haven't blogged too much about all the fun things he's up to! So, here it goes . . .

He's talking sooo much more now, and trying to say all sorts of words. When he's in his chatty mode, he pretty much tries to copy everything we say. He knows a few words for sure though. He knows the word dog, and points at Norma and calls her dog. He LOVES her, and hugs her all the time. He also knows what a dog says. Instead of saying woof woof, he pants like he hears Norma doing, which I think is so funny.

He also knows Wii. We have a box with all our Wii stuff in it by the side of the TV. He says Wii a million times over and over again until he gets in the box and pulls out the remote. It is so funny, and there is a video a few posts back with him saying Wii.

ALL food, whether it's something frozen, or milk, is "hot".

His new thing is to say "whastha"? So, he points at everything and asks what it is. He often times tries to mimic us, and usually does a pretty good job at it. The night I told him it was time to go night night, and he said it clear as a bell.

His favorite toy right now is his ball. He kicks it or throws it all through the house and shouts "ball" in the meantime.

He's learning so many things, it's unbelievable! We adore him!

He is so adorable! I do love the pictures. Sofi is in the same mode right now. She loves to "read" her books. I read a book to her, she reads it back to me, and then I read it. . .again. This is a vicious cycle. Joe laughs because I have most of her books memorized now. I really want to see Sofi and Ethan interact--maybe we can meet in the middle! What is that Iowa?
