About Stephen...




                                            Pic below: Top of Mount Rainier
Stephen has been water skiing and snow skiing since his earliest age of three. He still loves it! He loves a good skate night with the kids! He loves music, and often makes up his own words to familiar songs. Steve is amazing with wood and has created a bed, benches, head boards, signs, and does beautiful moulding work! He can fix anything and is always willing to help with any job. And he loves to travel! Which he better, because he's a pilot by profession. He's a fantastic DAD! And the kids can't get enough of his goodness! And I love having him around! He get's to be home more than a typical 8-5 desk job fella, so we get to go on dates during the day. He is very involved in our every day life and knows just how to help and fix most everything! Stephen is a hard worker, and enjoys crazy & FUN adventures with us. He's a huge tease, but can take it right back, so we love that about him!

Hiking & Camping

16 miles of pure elevation!
Hiking the back side of Mtn. Timp.



We love hiking and camping and enjoy getting out and exploring our world. We've hiked in Germany, Hawaii, Mexico, Michigan, Arkansas, Texas, California, Colorado, and Utah and we have so many more places left on our to do list!

About Jenny...


Picture Below: Hiking Torrey Pines in San Diego.




She gets to be a stay-at-home mom, and couldn't ask for a better blessing!
She loves to water ski! Loves to eat chocolate! She loves to travel, snow ski, shop, cook and play tricks on people on April Fools Day!
She loves to visit, talk and laugh with friends and family! Exploring new trails and hiking are just as exciting as riding rides at Disneyland. She loves lakes, pools and any activity that she can be outside enjoying the sun. Although she doesn't have a soloist voice, she LOVES to sing! Being a wife and a mother have brought her a lot of joy! She is my greatest support and cheerleader, and my GREATEST friend! Jen is the best listener and is always doing something nice for someone else.




Thursday

Every Year...















We get to go to Lake Powell with Steve's family. Water, sun, eating, dancing, playing, swimming, skiing, boarding, playing games with cousins, late nights staying up talking and having nothing but fun! We all look forward to it every year!

Papa Ken & Grandma Jo (Jenny's Parents.)


Jenny has 3 sisters and 2 brothers, so lots of cousins, 15 to be exact! This group picture was taken this summer at a family reunion by Strawberry Reservoir.

Grandma Carol & Grandpa Bob (Steve's Parents.)


Steve has 4 sisters, and 2 brothers, and there are 13 cousins.

About Nathan...






















Nate loved to be with people! He loved, parks, jeeps (or any other kind of transportation) and he loved school! He loved to hike, play at parks, play with cars, and he loved to be chased! Nate was very lovable and was always doing nice things for people to help them (especially at home.) Most of the time he did kind things without being asked. He loved to chat with others, however with his special needs, occasionally other people had a hard time understanding him. He didn't ever mind, he just kept talking, even with his speech delays. Nathan just recently passed away at the end of May in 2011 due to an emergency surgery that he didn't survive. This boy leaves an amazing legacy in his 10 short years of life. We miss him a lot, but know that he is with God and is about a better work.

She is a wonderful friend and is very compassionate toward others! She loves to be with family! She can't wait to have another brother, or finally a sister!

Something to laugh about...











This was taken in Lajolla, Ca. It was a Sunday and we stopped at this beach by recommendation. The stairs go from a grassy area all the way down into the water. Steve thought he could make it before the water came up again. Obviously he had to polish his shoes again (after they dried.)
