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.

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving this year was a little crazy.  I bought a teeny tiny pumpkin for Addy.  BIG MISTAKE.  It was so hard I could barely even get a knife in it.  So, no carving for her.  Ethan didn't want to even look at the guts once his pumpkin had been opened, so dad cleaned it out for him and helped him carve his pumpkin.  Ethan also wanted to help Dad carve his pumpkin, so really Andy should have waited a while to carve his pumpkin.   I didn't get mine carved until after Addy went to bed.  Anyway, it was fun, but the kids are still a little too young for this.  Maybe next year we'll paint the pumpkins.  Here are the results . . .

 The kids WILL NOT look at the camera for pictures.  It drives me crazy.  Here is the best I could do.
