March 2022 The twins turn 6 and Lily gets sick.

Hannah practicing during Lilian's gymnastics time 

The high school put on a Tarzan musical.  The kids all loved it, well worth a late bedtime. 

Sunday afternoon playing "Raging Pandas" card game.  Look, Lilian and I are on a team. 

For home school, Melissa took the kids to visit animals at a friend's farm.  Bunnies, baby goats, etc. 

Absolute horror!  Hannah felt better a little later and held a bunny, but this is the better picture. 

Making white chocolate Lego blocks for their birthday party. 

Making rainbows and pots of gold for St Patrick's day. 

St Patrick's Day!

Picnic ride/hike on Saturday the 19th. It is funny, when we go riding the kids often complain that they want to stop and hike.  They have fun with the ride, but they usually enjoy the hike even more. 

Oh, she still loves me. 

Helping to bake their own birthday cakes... no idea how awesome it will turn out. 

Melissa made this for Grandma Flick and it finally arrived, so she sent a picture. 

Happy Lego Birthday from the candle wielding hoard. 

Painting salt dough Lego men, making Lego glasses. 

Showing off the Lego creations. 

Thursday March 24th we were going to Nana's to spend the weekend together and because Finn had GI appointments in SLC.  Lily woke up and threw up that morning, then she started a fever.  So the twins and I hit the road before she could get the rest of us sick. 

It ended up an awesome weekend for the twins and I.  We had a blast at Nana and Grandad's.  We road frontrunner to SLC on Friday to visit the planetarium. They loved the train ride.

Playing with the plasma generator. 

Lilian trying to get better from her tummy troubles.  One bite of applesauce, a graham cracker to last 2 days, etc. 

On the surface of Mars, after programming some Mars rovers. 

Bubble time. 

Belle and Jon got the twins a new PlayDoh set... that was a fun Saturday morning.

Then we scooted to the Lindon park with Nana.  Fun trip, lots of playtime. 

The twins spent Sunday afternoon playing outside and collected a bunch of flowers for Nana's birthday. 
We celebrated Nana and the twins birthday on Mar 27th. 

Taking turns opening presents, Finn is pointing out what he wrote on that card. 

Building the Lego set James and Chevon's family got Finn with cousin Miles. 

Playing with Hannah's new Encanto book/play set with cousin Avery.  

7:02 AM Monday 28th.  We're at Primary Children's Hospital for Finn to get a barium enema and exam.  Trying to figure out all his accidents. 

Playing with tractors while waiting. 

Finn's swollen and elongated large intestine. He ended up getting changed from miralax + a little exlax to higher dose exlax alone.  I'm writing a month later and he's doing much better, 2 weeks without an accident and more feeling in his guts. 

After we got home the kids had a fun 5 minute "missed you" moment, then went to normal fighting.   Thursday the 31st, Melissa and the kids went to 5 Kivas Pueblos. The trail was destroyed with glass, broken plates and bowls, etc. They had a fun hike, but Melissa decided something needed to be done about the mess. 

Fun hike with friends.

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,...
