Melissa, Andy and the kids' Blog

March 1, 2019. The twins, Zoe and I decided to take advantage of the heavy snow still on the ground.  We took the Rhino out on the trail east of the Visitor's Center park. Twins are muddy and happy!  It was a fun ride.  The snow was deep so we just kept the wheel speed up and used 4 wheel drive only after getting stuck.  Zoe's pretty happy too.  EARTHQUAKE!! March 4th I rented a scaffold to climb up and remove the old fashioned chandelier in the entry.  Melissa was gone, the twins watching TV and Lilian sleeping.  I climbed off the scaffold and was sitting on the stairs researching when "the basement washing machine went crazy bouncing around."  Melissa came home a few minutes later and told me that we'd just had an earthquake!.  Yikes.  "I found you!" I swear, they begged to ride this thing every time we went to the store... and these are the faces we get?  3/17 - Happy St Paddy's Day! 3/18 Enjoying the slowly de...

Just cute, nothing more to see here.  2/7/19: About once each week Melissa and the kids come to the hospital to have lunch with me.  Usually on a Wednesday after the have library time.  It is lots of fun to try a variety of foods and they always get excited to finish off the meal with a Naked Juice.  Looks like we splurged and enjoyed 2 juices today.  2/14/19: Happy Valentine's Day!  Grandma Jack brought by these colorful monkeys for our little stinkers.   Melissa made sure all the girls were looking super cute.  2/15/20 we headed up to Lindon and took Nana and Granddad out for a late Valentine's Day dinner.  We went to Olive Garden, one of Melissa's favorites.  As I remember, we were all eating leftovers for the next several days.   2/17/19: Hannah and Lilian received these matching dresses from Aunt Amanda.  I'm sure at this same moment, hundreds of miles away in Pennsylvania, Ruth was dressed to matc...

January 2nd, 2019 began with a little storm.  Monument Valley always looks great with a white blanket.  1/3/19: Hannah went for a dental visit, and she was very brave. It was her first exam and cleaning. Finn had his this day too, but needed a little snuggle for his exam.  So Melissa was holding him instead of taking a picture.   January 7th brought more snow. It was lots of fun.  There was even a little leftover on the 8th for Lilian to have some fun in the snow.  1/16: At library time with Mom.  With a surprise visit from Queen Elsa!  This new neighbor Alex Slade ran a party company before coming to Blanding, seem she brought her costumes with her. 1/17/18: Hannah and her Ariel having a twin day.  January 19th was the Bluff balloon festival.  Hannah and Finn are holding up their "business cards" from the balloon flying above them.  1/22: Lilian is eight months and proud of it! 1/25: Twins he...
