Ray and I have been married 24 years. We have 4 boys and two girls. We have lived in seven states, including Utah, Illinois, Arizona, Indiana, Colorado, California, Minnesota, and recently returned to Colorado. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we love our church. We enjoy being parents and helping our children through the ups and downs of life. Our oldest son, Jordan, served a mission for our church in Guatemala Quezaltenango and our second son, Aaron is currently serving in the France Lyon Mission. I recently completed a certification program to be a Strategic Strengths Coach and I love the impact this learning has had on my own life and I have a great desire to share my learning with others. Never a dull moment! Life is busy, sometimes complicated, but life is good, and we are blessed!

Jordan's Eagle Project--Building the Shed

Boating August 2010

Ryan and his family and Allie and her family came to visit. The boat had been in the shop due to a previous mishap between the boat and a sandbar on our last outing with Ray's family--Kay, Karen, and Grandma, but luckily it we got it back and tried out a different lake this time --Rollins Reservoir. Others had recommended this lake, but we found it too narrow which made us nervous after just getting the boat fixed. The lake was also crowded and we couldn't find a good beach spot. Nevertheless, we still had fun, but I think we will try a different lake next time. Allie and Nate also brought their boat.
