Our Trip to Mazatlan Christmas 2007

We had so much fun as a family. We drove down taking 2 1/2 days to get there. We left Friday morning and saw the ocean on Sunday afternoon and stayed 10 days. After playing a see what we could for the time we were there we left and drove back home in two days. We were gone for a total of 15 days and it was one of the best two weeks we have ever had. Watching the children play in the water and making sand castles in the sand was wonderful. We took the children to different villages so they could see how those children lived and also what the children there went without. They realized that they were very blessed. I feel that each of them brought something back with them that helps them to remember how much they really do have here in America. We went to a meat market to see how that was done, boy did it STINK!!! We had so much fun camping there on the beach and making our food over a grill. Having no TV, cell phones, or even Internet for a week and a half was NICE! Sitting back and realizing how blessed and grateful for what we all have been blessed with. The sunset were are favorite part of the day. Watching the sun hit the water and then disappear was AWESOME. Heavenly Father has given us a beautiful world to live in and all we need to do is open our eyes and look.

About Our Family

Our family started October 27,2001. We have 6 wonderful children. We realize that it is not always easy blending a family but we have done it. We have felt that we have done a pretty good job so far. Here is a little bit about our wonderful children. We'll start with Andrew, he's in the 9th grade and love anything dealing with Science. He's know learning how to drive. He'll be getting his learning permit in April. Austin just became a Deacon. He loves to play football and is in Wrestling. Jade will be turning 12 this Saturday. She's the rock of our family. Jade is my second in command I can count on her to be there when I need her. All three of these children are in piano and like it. Maddison is doing awesome in school. She's enjoys reading and playing with her friends. She also loves to play with Alex. Now Alex he LOVES school and we can't believe he is old enough to go to school. He's our little red head and we love it. Izabel is our little spit fire. She keeps all of us on our toes. She is so loving and always makes all of us smile. Scott and I are very grateful for all six of our children they bring us joy and trials into our lives. We are who we are because of them. We are proud of each of them they all are strong in the gospel and have stayed strong in their beliefs and values. We loves them dearly.
