Introduction

I've lived in Rexburg for 19 years since my husband was hired to teach in the Music Department at Rick's College. I am a stay-at-home mom and LOVE my job! We have nine children: three married (three grandsons and two on the way), two returned missionary sons at BYU-Idaho, a freshman at BYU in Provo, one waiting in Heaven, and our two youngest boys at home who are in 4th and 6th grade this year.

Finishing my degree has been on my bucket list for years and will stay there for a couple more as I pick away at finishing two or three classes each semester.  I am grateful for a husband who has supported me staying at home with our children for the past 28 years and who continues to support each of my new "brilliant ideas" as they come along. I love homeschooling our children, reading, doing family history whenever I can sneak a moment on the computer, playing board games with my family and traveling with my husband, especially on performance tours.

The picture is from 2015 so it's missing two in-laws and the grandsons, but we've had missionaries serving since a week after this was taken until just last week!  I'm excited to update it when we're all together for Christmas this year!
