We have been blessed with 4 wonderful children and now we have one more son and one more daughter through marriage and also 4 of the cutest grandchildren in the world. Julie & I have been married 35 years even though she looks 29. We hope that through this blog we can convey to our children & grandchildren our love for this family,country and the Father who made all of this possible. I do not type well so please be kind. And with practice I am sure this will improve. I'm encouraged by my daughters, Nickie & Hannah. So here goes. We as a ward we have been challenged by our Bishop to read the Book of Mormon by the end of May. This has been both a blessing and a challenged for us. But we will do our best. We have one child left in our home and she is a senior this year. She ( Chelsae ) is a cheerleader and a very good baseball player. She also can squat 300 lbs. and so you do not mess with her.

Julie is hard at work at the bus garage and by being a good secretary and a super mom and grandma ( a term she loves ) to those near and far away. She is getting younger while this old guy looks a little more bent each day. I work at a delivery service company as a truck driver and daily give thanks for our jobs and good health to perform there. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and love what the church has taught us to raise our family on this troubled earth. This has been a blessing that will pay off through out all generations.
