June 2018: The beginning of life with 3 kids 2 and under

6/2/18: Andy used some of his PTO leave to get the apartment addition on our rental done, so that we could rent it out while he worked on the main house.
 


6/3/18: Hannah and Finn started to be entertained by Lilian, even though they might have been calling for help.
  

6/7/18: Lilian got her first bath at home
 


 


Daddy helped get her dressed.
 

6/9/18: Took a little walk around Nations of the Four Corners Dwellings.  We all needed to get out of the house and the toddlers needed to run off some energy. We visited a Ute tepee, a Navajo Hogan, and a Pioneer rock fort tower, all within a few minutes.
 



Zoe is always up for an outing as a family.
 


6/11/18: Water play is always a good way to entertain the kids for awhile and then it encourages me to mop the floors.

All of our kids have been given Pendleton blankets by our friends Revina and Fred Talker.
 


6/18/18 Getting ready for bed!
  

Starting to really enjoy our summer with the kiddie pool in the backyard and then going to the pool with Abby and Emily Jacobson. These 2 sisters helped me a lot that summer.  Abby even did personal progress hours (for her young women's group) by being a Mother's helper and playing with the twins at our house while I got other things done around the house.  I definitely needed help at the pool with 3 little ones, and I couldn't get into the pool for at least another month (C-section).
 



Finn and Hannah love Abby and Emily.
 


6/21/18: However, Finn is definitely a mama's boy and needed some extra snuggles while Lilian slept in the shade.
 



6/22/18: Now that they weren't babies anymore, they got more responsibilities around the house.  Finn loved helping with the dishes for a few weeks, Hannah only a couple of times.
 


We made it our first month with 3 kids 2 and under.  Andy also finished the apartment just in time to be rented out.
 




6/25/18: I even roped Andy into going swimming with the kids.  They did much better at staying in the pool with Daddy there to play with them.
  

 
Finley, we added this picture from 6/30/18 just so we'd have quick access to it when you start dating.  Love, Mom and Dad 5/31/2020

We had a "CRATER" honeymoon than you!

Image
We stayed in Midway, UT for the first 2 nights of our honeymoon. Around our little Swiss get away, were all of these little crater pond things. You can see our little cottage in the background of this picture. On Monday we went to the Crater at Homestead. The water is warm and very blue. Many people go scuba diving here, but we just swam around. Ok, so I didn't swim too much. I more of just floated around. They make you wear a life jacket, which meant I got to just relax. I was so relaxed that I even look dead in this picture. We had a nice woman in a wheelchair take a picture of us. She took a lot more than one. She kept telling us to do something different. I decided not to put all of the pictures on here. She really wanted to take one of us in the tunnel. Here we are outside of the tunnel. Once we changed, we got into the car and headed up to Yellowstone. We spent Tuesday seeing the sights in Yellowstone. Within minutes we had to stop because there were some bison in t...

My Engagement Story

Image
In order to tell the story of our engagement, I will have to first tell you the story of our first date. For those of you who don't know, Andy and I were set up on a blind date by my Aunt Mary and Uncle Fred (more Mary). We met on August 27th when he picked me up for our date. Andy was well prepared for our first date. He planned on going up to canyon for a picnic and walking around the falls. He even had picked up some yummy sandwiches, but I didn't know about that then. Well, it happened to be raining that day, so he gave me the option of going to this authentic pizza place. I chose that plan since it was raining. We went to the pizza place where I ate pizza with corn on it for my first time. After dinner he started driving me back home, and then he noticed that it had stopped raining. We decided to try the canyon anyways. We went up to Canyon Glen and started walking the trail towards Bridal Veil Falls. For those of you who know me well, you know that I can easil...

July 2025 - Independence and Friends.

Image
July 4 - Parade time!  The usual, candy, chats with neighbors and lots of fun.  After dinner that night, we went to the Melodrama with Rob and Mallory Lyman.  They came and spent the weekend of the 4th with us. It was fun to have friends over and talk, but the kids struggled with not having alone time.   Sunday July 6 - When we got home from church we couldn't find Goldie, but we found blood stains on the driveway and front steps.  After a few minutes she came to Melissa with a big wound in her front leg.  She'd been out while we were at church and someone shot her in the leg.  She must have been bothering other animals.  We got the bleeding stopped with styptic powder and pressure, then Melissa spent most of the afternoon snuggling her to keep her from licking it.  I took her to the vet the next day, they left the bullet/pellet in the leg and just gave her a week of antibiotics. Melissa loved how calm and snuggly she was all day Sunday,...
