MY FAMILY
The Family Is Forever
Molly and I come from large families, and so it’s no surprise that Molly and I set our sights on letting the children flow in our marriage. After more than 35 years of marriage we have 7 wonderful children and we currently have 7 grandchildren, although that number is sure to change in the near future.
My family has been the key source of strength, support and lasting happiness in my life. Each person in our family is unique and has brought a wonderful personality into our home. Molly and I are grateful for all the wonderful moments that we know will continue eternally.
Below is some of my favorite thoughts individually on my family:
MOLLY
My high school sweetheart and wife of 35 years and counting. Molly is a amazing homemaker and nurturer, and our relationship just keeps getting better with age. Her number one priority is her faith and our family, and that’s all I could ever ask for.
MONICA
Monica is our oldest child. She is married to Jake and they live in Utah. Monica has set her life on a path to serve others in neonatal nursing. With her brothers and sisters she is an excellent nurturer and protector. Monica loves to bird and hang out with Jake and their two daughters, Sophie and Bryce.
MEGAN
Megan enjoys the simple and important things in life, such as birding and painting with her husband Casey and daughter Lisa. Megan served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico before completing a degree in art from BYU. Megan has a wonderful sense of humor and continues to endure well many health challenges.
MAXWELL
Max is married to Abby and they both completed degrees at BYU, with Max graduating with an engineering degree. Max is currently working at a technology company in Orem, Utah, but will soon start a Masters Degree program at the University of Utah. Max is a very kind and good-humored man and plays a variety of instruments. Before marriage, Max served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Spain. He can often be found either working on his car, or the car of someone else. Max and Abby have two sons, Owen and Sam.
MITCHELL
Mitch is married to Alexa and they have both recently completed degrees at BYU. Mitch is a GIS expert and works for the Federal Bureau of Reclamation in Colorado. Mitch loves to fly fish and be involved in adventures outdoors. Before marriage, Mitch served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Africa, living in the countries of South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Mitch and Alexa have two daughters, Aliyah and Carmen.
MADELINE
Madeline recently married her favorite fly fishing buddy, Brighton. They are currently living in Alaska where Brighton guides for fly fishing clients from all over the world. Before marriage, Madeline served mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Everett, Washington. She’s my sophisticated daughter and loves fashion. Madeline is a protector of individuality and we often have good natured debates about life. She is adventurous and quick to say yes to sky diving, hiking 50 miles in extreme wilderness, fly fishing on rivers or some other crazy adventure.
MILTON
Milt recently served a full-time mission in San Jose for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is well rounded and loves to play golf, his guitars, take pictures with his collection of cameras, and be with his friends at church. Milt is extremely kind and can often be found looking after others and doing kind acts. He is quick to note people with disabilities and offer support, which stems from his compassionate personality and from his own health challenges. Milt is currently a student at BYU.
MARY
Mary is the youngest of the bunch. She is already following in the footsteps of her older sister Megan and becoming an accomplished artist. Mary loves cats and working on her 3-D printer to create creative figures. She is going into her senior year and loves the field of bio-chemestry. She is hopeful to attend John Hopkins University. Mary is kind and compassionate, especially toward the disadvantaged.
