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.

Blanket Wrangler!

Ethan has always been fond of his blankets, but a new favorite has emerged! All the other blankets in the house are called blankie, but this one in particular, he calls duckie! (thanks to Missy for the blanket!) The other day he took the blanket outside with him, and drug it all through the dirt, and it was filthy by the time we got back inside. You would have thought it was the end of the world when I took duckie away to put him in the washing machine! The poor boy was traumatized! He just kept saying "wash" over and over again. I reassured him a number of times that he would get duckie back, but it was quite the experience! Well, duckie has since been returned, and Ethan loves to hold onto the edge of duckie while sucking his thumb! It's actually extremely adorable, and here is the picture to prove it! PS, don't you love the duck slippers! :)

He has gotten so big! I can't believe it. We are coming to Utah/Idaho for Christmas--hopefully we can arrange a meeting, preferrably one that includes Cafe Rio and kids. How's the new job? I read about the tax increase--seems messy!

He is so cute! I just realized that I was mentioned on your sidebar about your multiple personalities. Mike and I were talking about you the other day because they had a car show nearby and I said it was too bad we didn't live by you because I would make him go with you since I have SO much interest in cars. He he.

Oh my gosh that picture is adorable. He should keep that up for as long as he can get away with it. I would do anything for him when he was striking that pose. So cute!! Love you!
