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 1st Birthday

It's hard to believe that our miss Addy has been with us for an entire year.  We have been blessed by her laid back, sweet, and happy personality, and don't know what we'd do without her. 
 The birthday girls party decorations!
 I found a picture of a fabulous Minnie Mouse cake and did my best to copy it.  I think it turned out pretty cute, and it didn't take me too long to recreate.  I did have black/pink hands for about 3 days however from trying to color the fondant.  YIKES!!!  
 I made this fun subway art to put out at the food table.
And this is the birthday girls dinner.
 The birthday girl had some cheese and ham and roll with the rest of us!
 I made her a fun shirt to match her birthday decor!
 She's your typical girl.  She liked playing with the clothes better than she like playing with the toys! :)
 Big brother was happy to help her open her presents!
 She loved that her new kitchen played music, and did a cute little dance.
 You can her dance efforts here!
 This is her cute little learning kitchen.  Ethan has played with it much more than she has, so hopefully she'll start enjoying it more.
And of course, our little birthday girl LOVED the cake and ice cream!!!
