About Me

Hi I'm Amy! My husband (Tom) and I are the parents of four busy (not so little anymore) boys ranging in age from 9 to 3.
I'm lucky enough that I get to stay at home with my boys. I enjoy spending time playing, creating, and laughing with them, but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't enjoy the time that they are gone to school.  I enjoy getting a few minutes of quiet time during the day.  {Aren't they a handsome bunch?!}
A few random facts about me...
  • I have an Associate of Applied Science Degree to be an Administrative Assistant.  I worked as an Admin Assistant until after I had my second baby.  I loved working in an office and I still miss it sometimes.  I also wonder now how I ever managed to work an 8 to 5 job when most days I can't make it through the shower before noon. :)  I wouldn't trade being home with my boys for a job though. 
  • While in high school, I worked for my dad who was and excavator.  I know how to operate a backhoe, skid-steer, loader, and trackhoe.  It has been years since I've done any of that, but I enjoyed it while I did it. It also makes me CRAZY when these machines are referred to as tractors...A tractor is a piece of farm equipment.
  • I'm a certified scuba diver.  Between having kids (you can't dive when you are pregnant) and not having a place to do it, it's been quite a few years since I've been diving. My husband and I hope to go on a vacation to a warm, sunny, beach somewhere, someday where we can dive.
  • Never broken a bone.
  • I can name almost any car on the road.  I'm not quite as good as I used to be at it.  I used to know what pretty much everyone drove in the small central Utah town that I grew up in. Kinda crazy, I know.
Creating is my outlet.  I love to make all sorts of things, but I have a love for all things polka dots, paper, and fabric.  I love the color and patterns of it. I love to create home decor and crafts, cards, sewing projects, pretty much anything paper crafting, and I love scrapbooking, although I just don't have the time for it like I used to.
