March 2020 The twins turn 4 years old!

Lilian learning to climb the plastic rock wall at the Visitor's Center Park. 
 

Grandma Workman brought home this little red dog from Great Grandma Clift's house.  Melissa remembered playing with it when she was little, and Lilian likes pulling it around Grandma's house now. 

Time to start pouring the countertops.  It was lots and lots of buckets, each at a slightly different consistency.  It took a while to really decide what was too wet and what was just right.  

After unmolding a couple days later.  We had little bubbles in the edges and didn't have the surface of the peninsula as smooth as hoped.  Just too much flex and movement in the overhang. 

We decided it would be fun to hit the Canyon Country Family Discovery Center in Monticello, UT.  It was!  We spent a couple hours working with all the interactive exhibits. This was a giant "light bright."

A climbing wall for Melissa to dominate!


Saturday March 1th we decided to take a trip to the temple... as I write in on January 31, 2021 we haven't been back yet.  This was our last trip before the COVID-19 pandemic shut everything down. 


Having friendly neighbors is the best.  Sometimes we don't spend time with Mason and Kati Lyman for a few months, then a few minutes together turns into hours of fun.  
 

Lilian started tricking us into using the potty.  She demanded the chance, and so far hasn't gone much past this phase of "every once in a while".  


Melissa's special cakes this year are Construction Site and Elsa's Ice Powers. 

The twins loved them!


They received new bigger blankets from Grandma Workman. Tractors for Finn and...

Princesses for Hannah.

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,...
