About Me

My photo
We both grew up in Montana, and after high school we even lived in the same town, but did not meet until Kevin returned from his mission. Kevin served in the South American Mission of Asuncion Paraguay and upon is return in 2001, we were introduced by none other than his match making sister, Janna. We have been married for 8 years. We have four children. Our oldest son, Carson is 8, Rosario (Rosie) is 4, Olivia is two and Benson is 6 months.

San Diego






For a get away from the cold long winter in Montana, Kevin and I took a trip to California over V-day. My mom was so great to take the kids so we could spend some much needed us time. Unfortunately I was just beginning to feel the effects of early pregnancy. I was anticipating the trip for months, looking forward to warm So-Cal weather and yummy adult food. It wasn't what I had hoped it would be. I was sick in the air, in the airports, in the hotel and out and about. Poor Kevin had to take care of me just as we were relieved from taking care of our children. I did my best to put on a happy face, but I tell you what I really thought this would be the last pregnancy I could handle, I felt so icky I wasn't sure I could do it again. Ironically I felt the best when we were out on open water during our whale watching tour and unfortunately Kevin and most of the other passengers were sea sick. Overall I felt like poop, but loved being away with my wonderful husband who made such an effort and took time off work to be with me.
Here are a few of my favorite memories from the trip:

Driving across Coronado Bridge to Coronado to site-see
Dolphin and Whale Watching
Touring the Hollywood Hills & Star Walk of Fame
Cruising the highway along the Pacific coast
Valentine's Day Brunch with Kevin
The San Diego Temple
The Beach
Room Service: French Toast for dinner

Sorry our Southern California weather hasn't exactly been sunny this year:( We just spent half the week in San Diego for Marine graduation, and even in June, it was cloudy and cool the whole time! But at least I wasn't pregnant and sick!!!

When Kevin's dad was set apart to be Mission President of the Colorado Colorado Springs Mission the family went to Salt Lake City for the weekend. It was a great experience, and hopefully the kids will remember meeting an apostle of the Lord. I don't know when this many of us will be together for a picture so I'm keeping it on my blog until his folks return.
