September 2019 Labor Day visits, Bum Surgery, Camping with truck problems, etc.

Grandpa and Grandma Aurich came to visit for Labor Day.

So the twins attacked Grandpa with giant burritos.

9/2 - We went to visit one of the reservoirs. 

Cruising in the Rhino with Grandma.

Labor day BBQ.


9/5 - Finley had a hypopigmented Blue Nevus on his bottom.  Melissa had been watching it for a few years now and realized it was getting bigger.  It was bothering him, itchy.  He had it biopsied in town, but the boarders were unclear.  So we went to the UofU to have the rest removed under sedation. He put up with the procedure very well.


The first thing he said when he woke up, which he did earlier than expected was, "where are my Paw Patrol Fruit Snacks?"  We gave him a bag of them before, while he was fasting until almost 4 PM, and told him he could eat them as soon as it was done. He was awake before even arriving in the recovery area.  The nurses said they'd never seen a kid awake that quickly. We've always known Finley is really good at "being awake."


We spent a few days at Nana and Grandad's.

9/7 - The kids got pretty excited to see a whole deer family in the yard before breakfast one day. 


Paulo getting used to his new home.

Back home and visiting Braylee

Sister snuggles

9/13 - Then we decided to go camping.  We went up below Dry Wash.  Took the trailer, 4 wheeler in the bed and Melissa drove the Rhino.  We dropped the trailer, then as I went to unload the 4 wheeler in a clear spot, I some how ripped the wire harness off the transmission and dumped the fluid.  

We had the truck towed to Montella's in town, they weren't supper happy about getting their flatbed to the area, but we enjoyed the camp with friends. 

Hannah had fun getting dirty. 

The Stevens came to ride 4 wheelers and have dinner. 

The Lyman's spent the night and did plenty of riding. 

And lounging. 

Bill and Chris came to rescue the trailer the next day and they came for breakfast. 

9/18 - Not sure why the photo shoot, but they look cute. Melissa just told me it was red day at preschool.

Mommy and daughter night at church with Sister Elida Numbers

And with Grandma.
Finley and I took Grandpa Workman to dinner at Homestead for boys night. 


Somebody's teething and chewing is the only way to make it feel better. 

Off to the dino museum with the Workman's

We received these silly suckers for Christmas from Aunt Belle and Uncle Jon. It was finally time to bust them out. 

9/30 - And to bring the month to a close, stickers from Aunt Trisha arrived to get helmets ready for bike riding.  Also, somewhere in here I turned 36. I guess it wasn't too memorable.

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,...
