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.

Addy's 2 Week Check Up


Addy is doing extremely well, and growing like a weed. She's up a pound and an inch as of her 2 week appointment last Wednesday. The doc said she's as healthy as can be, and hopefully she stays that way!

We are in love with our little Addy! She is a great eater, and is up to 4 oz. a feeding already, and usually eats every 2 hours. She only cries when we change her diaper or she's ready to eat. She sucks on your lower lip while waiting for her bottle to be prepared, and she loves to lay on her tummy. She is a very pleasant and good natured baby. Most nights she'll sleep for 4 hours at a time, and I am thanking my lucky stars for a baby who is letting me get some rest. :)

Ethan has had a bit of a rough adjustment with Addy, but today he was totally cute with her. She was crying, waiting for her bottle, and Ethan went and got her a blanket and put it on her. Such a sweet gesture, because when he is hurt or upset, he wants his blanket (duckster).

We love our two precious little ones. Funny how when they get here, it just seems like they've been with you forever.

I'm glad she's such a good baby! I always wonder when people talk about how crazy their first baby is if it's us as parents or really the baby. I bet a lot of it was me and I'm hoping I'll be much more laid back the next go round. Sounds like you are doing great! Glad she's doing well!!
