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.

Lava Hot Springs!

On Friday, we woke up and drove to Lava Hot Springs! I have never been before, so I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find a cute, tiny town. We rented a house for a few days with Andy's parents, and then his brother Gary, and his family stayed in a trailer down the street. On Friday we first checked out town. We found a cute little park where Ethan had to try out all the toys! Then, we spent the day at the swimming pool, which the big kids loved more than the little kids. The water slides were fantastic, and Gary and Andy even went off the olympic high dive! They are crazy!!!! The cutest part of all . . . I just got to the bottom of the water slide, and was waiting for Andy at the bottom, and it was a closed in tube water slide, and I could hear Andy giggling the entire way down! It was adorable! That night we strolled through town and stopped at the ice cream parlor to get a SQUARE scoop of ice cream. That's right, a square scoop! Never had that before!! After dinner, we ran to the grocery store and bought Ethan this little ball to play with. Little did he know, we played dodgeball with it until dark, and had a blast!


Saturday it was cold and rainey, but the kids wanted to run the river. So, Andy and Gary braved the cold to take the kids down. They rented tubes, and off they went. They went twice, and then afterwords, we went back for some hot showers, and some hot chocolate! We really had a fun time!
Haleigh, Gary, and Sara!
