I am so proud of Zach this morning. He had the best time racing his car last night. He really enjoyed every moment. From start to finish Zach took care of his car. He did a great job. Grandpa Crump is an expert in creating the best PWD car so I took Zach to Idaho to get his help. Yes, Brian could have done this but growing up neither Brian or I had any experiences with our Grandpas. We really felt like this was important. Watch out Grandpa Andrew - your turn is next! I thought we could cut the car out with a coping saw, yeah I thought wrong. First, I am right handed and Zach is left handed. I would get the cut started and turn it over to him. It just didn't work. Thanks to Aunt Amanda who had a scroll saw & and extra PWD block and could follow Zach's pencil marks exactly. She also salvaged the original car and Logan adopted it as his. After Amanda's we went to WalMart and the boys selected their paint colors. We went to Grandma's store and both boys sanded and sanded their cars. They both did a great job. Grandpa Crump and Zach worked on the wheels, the axles and drilled new axle holes Thursday night. Thanks so much for everyone's help. It turned out really great.
Our family was established June 20, 1997. After eleven years, we are still going strong. Brian is an irrigation engineer and works for Hansen, Allen & Luce a small engineering firm out of Midvale. Molly is a domestic engineer and deals with a range of issues at home. Zachary will be in third grade this year. Logan gets to go to kindergarten and just can't wait to get there. Hayden will start preschool in August. Hey, wait.... does anyone know what Molly will be doing with four free hours a week..... I'm sure she'll find something. She found it! Bailee is the newest Andrew Family member! Molly is now filling her day holding her brand new baby girl. Could life get any better?
Brian & Molly
We seem to keep busy just chasing everyone around. It could be Gretal one minute and Hayden the next. We are always on our toes! Brian is the Elder's Quorum secretary and Molly is in the Young Women's presidency. Life really doesn't slow down much. That's good because we wouldn't know what to do if there was nothing to do.
Zachary
Fall 2009
Zach has just grown up this year. I find it fascinating to watch him and listen to everything he thinks of. He is very driven and doesn't give up easily. He is experiencing so many firsts right now. He is the first to buy a suit. He is the first to get baptized. It's hard to be the oldest. Training parents is never an easy job. Zach is doing his best!
Logan
Fall 2009
Logan is a ball of energy. His smile makes me melt and he does get just about everything that he wants. I love to watch as he helps Hayden do things. I think Logan has the biggest heart of anyone I know. Now, don't get me wrong. When he's playing his DS, his heart hardens just a little.
Hayden
Fall 2009
Hayden is no longer the baby of our family. He is a big boy and he will remind you of that every time you look at him! He loves to wrestle and play Wii with his brothers. He is so much fun. He loves his thumb, his blanket and his DS.
Bailee Lynn
Fall 2009
Bailee joined the crew on June 17th. We are so excited to have her here. She's happy and healthy. Her brothers are absolutely in love with her and chances are good, she's going to be spoiled!
Gretal
March 2008
Gretal is our trusty miniature schnauzer. We adopted Gretal last September and she has been a fun addition to our family. She loves to go on long walks in the morning. Her greatest skill is getting out from under Hayden when he "loves" her.
