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.

Christmas Morning

Christmas was SO much fun this year.  The kids had a ball playing with all their toys.  This first picture is super blurry, but it's the only one I got of everything set out from Santa.  
The kids LOVED the kitchen.  Santa left a special note letting them know that it was theirs to share, and then they each got their own shopping cart to go with it.
 Here is Ethan's pile of presents from Santa
 And for miss Addy
 And now to present opening.  Ethan obviously was a little disappointed in his clothes, even though one was a spiderman t-shirt.
 Miss Addy was thrilled about her chair, and didn't bother to really open any presents.  She just like sitting in the chair.
 Now, he was a little happier . . . spiderman walkie talkies.
 Helping Addy open her presents, since she wouldn't really open them.
 Tons of play food for the kitchen
 And he loved his spiderman house.
 Miss Addy was thrilled with the goldfish crackers Santa left in her stocking
 Mom and Ethan reading a new spiderman story book
 Miss addy was just as happy as could be on Christmas morning
