Bob & I have been married for about 14 years. We met on a blind date, were engaged 10 days later, and married 2 1/2 months following that in the Mesa, AZ temple. He had 2 children & I had 3 so we had an instant family of 7...on a very meager student income. Bob graduated from ASU as a Structural Engineer. McKenzi arrived about a 1 1/2 years later to complete our family of 8. We are now beginning to enter a different phase of our lives where our family is beginning to expand again with a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, 2 grandbabies, and another on the way. There is no other joy then that of a growing family!
I feel very fortunate to be married to my best friend who is such a kind hearted man who loves his family! I love our weekly date nights together! I love my family dearly...they mean the world to me! I love to watch them accomplish things that they have really worked hard to succeed on. I like to spend time in my garden and I love do do anything crafty (floral arranging, sewing,scrapbooking, baking, etc.) I like quiet walks, good music, Broadway musicals, playing my harp, horseback riding (when I can), cruises, and Pixie
McKenzi, Tanner, & Summer
Such good Friends
Excitement for Life!
Woo Hoo!
Summer
Summer is 17 and having a ball her Senior year in High School. She is in all Honors classes and trying to get a scholarship for college. She has quite the busy schedule with work and school, but she definitely finds time to play just as hard! She is still playing the flute beautifully and loves to rollerblade, run, and she is expanding her "talents" by trying fishing & hunting.
Tanner
Tanner is 16 now and is very much looking forward to driving and dating. He is always smiling and loves to interject "funnies" in any conversation that he can. He enjoys hangin' out with his friends, video games, tennis, golf, and sleeping
McKenzi
McKenzi is 13...an official teenager... and in Junior High. She is our youngest. She is absolutely delightful to be around. She loves being with family and friends. She has such a kind and sensitive heart. She enjoys playing the piano, shopping (especially for shoes!) and reading
Cali & Jeremiah
Cali, our oldest, got married in December '06 to Jeremiah Thompson. Is so smart and beautiful. She graduated from cullinary school 2 years ago and is a wonderful chef. (We get to reap those benefits often!) Jeremiah has been a wonderful addition to the family and is going to school and working hard to provide for their new family.
Carter & Dian
Carter is our oldest son. He & Dian got married in April of this year. They are both working hard at their new family as they are expecting their first child in November (Grandbaby #2!). We are very glad to have Dian as part of our family now.
Kyle
Kyle is 19 now & out on his own. He is such a smart kid with so much potential. He is out trying to "find" himself, which we hope he does soon, because we sure miss him.
