Today's Woman


And you thought you had a tough job?

Our daughter Niki works for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) fighting fires. She works long hours-108 in the last week, averages 4-6 hours of sleep a night and sleeps in trucks or on the ground, and lives on military rations. She is lucky to get a day off, sometimes just a few hours before she is called to another fire.

Just recently, her crew was one of the first to respond to one of the biggest fires in Idaho/Utah since 1910 where over 562,000 acres burned. She's a strong, adventurous young woman, not afraid to get dirty and loves fighting fires. Niki is pictured on the far left below in the rose red dress. She's such a beautiful young woman with a personality to match. She's also in her second year of college. We're so proud of you and all that you've accomplished and we love you so much Niki! You go girl~!

Moving Day

We are thrilled for our son Adam (21) who bought his first home and moves in today! Congratulations Adam! What an exciting time for you. We love you so much and know you'll really love your new home!

Adam's and his girlfriend Cassie, who we think is just the sweetest young woman; have been out shopping and found this adorable puppy that is soon to be part of their lives. They're naming her "Dairy" because she looks like a little cow. :) She's a "pugle"(pronounced pyou-gull), part pug and part beagle. Isn't she just the cutest?!




This means I'll have to share my son with another woman, but I couldn't think of a nicer young woman than Cassie! All the very best Adam and Cassie, we love you!

We as parents pray for the faith, happiness and success of all of our children and we are so proud of each one of their accomplishments. To all of our children, keep your faith and follow your dreams and you'll find true happiness!

Blessings On This Day


I am SO thankful and blessed to have such amazing parents. Mom and Dad, thank you for giving me such a wonderful life and always supporting me in all that I do.

As parents and grandparents, as family and as a friend to others, you have enriched the lives of so many by your love and giving hearts. This day is to celebrate both of you Mother and Father, since we could not be with you both on either day, you are always in our thoughts and hearts. God Bless you always.

All our love, XOXOX

Your Family

So Proud


Such a long awaited moment. Our youngest son Alex's senior prom and graduation. The last of our four to take the step into adulthood. We are so very proud of him and all his accomplishments. Congratulations Alex-you made it! We love you so much!

Alex's graduation gift-something he has wanted for a long time-what a sweet ride!

The smile tells it all-- he's one happy young man.

Prom Photos: Alex is so handsome! Of course he wouldn't want me to say that but I can, I am his mother!
