March and April 2018, our last memories as a family of four.

March 16, 2018: Hannah got RSV! Which lead to some pretty intense snuggling sessions.

 
It was pretty scary, but she eventually got used to wearing the oxygen and after a few days, she even got to take her O2 outside to play! This was the tail end of her recovery. She was healthy just in time for...
 
March 23: Birthday presents!


The twins were briefly Sesame Street fanatics so Melissa made Elmo and Cookie Monster cakes.



That's my boy! Don't loose a single crumb!


March 24th Melissa threw an adoption shower for a couple of our friends. Fred and Revina adopted a beautiful little girl.  She's just a little younger than our kids.  Fred and Revina have been friend as long as we've lived in San Juan, they are the couple who gave us Zoe. Melissa organized the shower with some of Revina's college friends and it went off great.  A mixture of cute treats and silly games with fry bread, roast meat and starting 2 hours late. It was a perfect blend of Mormon/Navajo fun.

Easter 2018 really snuck up on us. April fool's day! The twins had one egg hunt with the Smith twins.


Finn's a bunny!


Melissa is a jelly bean.


Zoe is auditioning for the Cadbury commercials.


And Hannah couldn't get enough of her new Easter hat... I mean basket.


We built a new sandbox. Best family project yet, hours of fun... and filth.


Every once in a while, if they think you aren't watching, they are pretty good friends.


April 23, 2018: We had to kick the big kids to the back to make way for the baby. We may have prepared a month early... considering the last time that turned out to be just a few days early.


Spending a little time with Nana, at Lynette's.


Triplet cow-pokes.


You can almost imaging how they fit in there together from this angle.


Cute.


4/29/18: April was awesome!

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,...
