February 2022 Bunco and hiking

Feb 1st, home and right back into the grind.  Lilian is enjoying parachute time at gymnastics.

That evening Melissa headed to the church blood drive to donate a double. 

The twins have really taken to having the Lyman girls over.  They will often ask if they can go over and ask to play.  It is fun to see their increasing independence.  

Speaking of... Hannah holding Lilian's hand as she takes her to the Lyman's to join Finn, who went over earlier. 

Feb 6th Hannah asked if she could help with dinner prep.  She is prepping green beans, with a real knife, while I do the cauliflower. 

Grandma Workman and Hannah at music class. 

Utah State University hosted a visit the campus for the health education building.  Melissa and the kids came to see the building and have a hotdog.  This is my classroom, where I teach pharmacology. 

Feb 11th Melissa hosted her homeschool group for a Valentine's Party in our shop. 

They had candy races, built marshmallow/toothpick towers, and wrote about what they love.

That night Melissa went to the Laws' ranch for a bunco night.  She left at about 4 PM and we didn't see her again until Saturday after lunch.  She had fun playing with the ladies and eating treats.

Only a few of the women decided to stay the night, and Melissa slept horribly! She didn't turn on the noise maker on her phone, so she lay awake listening to all the noises which only occur in the quietest places.

Saturday morning, after a late breakfast, they went hiking to some ruins on the property. Melissa, Mallory and Emily. 

The next Saturday, Feb 19th, it was time to get to work.  Hannah came with me to our Main Street rental to put a sign at each side of the drive way.  There is a tax place in front of our house and customers kept blocking the driveway.  She helped with pounding in the post and mounting the sign.  She was a great helper, no whining at all. 

That afternoon, Melissa took us to visit the same kiva at the Laws' ranch.  We hiked all around and had a nice picnic. 

The brave climbers.

Melissa has been on a crochet kick lately.  This is the bag she is making for Nana's birthday. 

Feb 22: This has been a very dry winter, but today we got a little snow.  Melissa and the kids enjoyed getting all bundled up for play time. 

Hannah reading a book called "Sis" to her little sis.  It is pretty neat to see the kid's progress as the twins are starting to read and Lilian can now write her name without any assistance.

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,...
