Blaine and Carrin

Blaine and I were married on Aug. 10, 1982 in the Los Angeles Temple. We have 7 children. I gave birth to 4 and then we adopted a sibling group of 3. We love all of our children so much!! We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina. I have traveled across the US on the southern route. We went to college in Rexburg, Idaho when we first got married.

This Blog Thing

I'm not really good at this yet, I have a journal that I write in almost every night when I can't sleep, but no one reads that! I guess I am a little afraid I'll say something that will offend someone or make people think I'm crazy, lol. It sure is hard to raise a teen. When they don't get their way, they "hate" you and threaten to run away, move out etc. I went through it lots of times with 7 kids. on a light note, I am ever so amazed at how nice and clean Emilee keeps her apartment, when she was a teen you'd have thought I was trying to give her poison when I asked her to clean up her room, lol. But serioulsy, sounds like she takes after me more than she knows. I don't know if that is awlays a good thing? lol. I am looking forward to going to Six Flags and hopefully Jazmine will be out of her "mood" and pouting becasue Blaine grounded her from the football game (long story from her last football game fiasco) and "oh my gosh it's homecoming and what a jerk he is" No I told her he's just a dad. What good is grounding someone from something they don't care about doing. But you know how it is we just know "so little". Ok well once I got started I guess I said a whole lot. lol I pray everything is going alright with Garrett, I haven't heard from him since he started his job. Hopefully that is a good thing. I hope Quinn is doing well, I hope he gets his car fixed! Maybe that is why I don't sleep at night, I just worry too much about all of my kids. I sure love them all. I am looking forward to the Holiday's. I love Christmas and I love the weather turning, although it's taking it's sweet time here. Guess I have to go help Blaine with dinner, the Rocks are coming over tonight.

Devonn's been coming around as far as cleaning goes too... he still has a way to go but I'm thankful for what I get. But anyway, I talked to Jazmine earlier when I called to ask you about storing Christmas presents... poor mistreated child LOL! I told her that I was never allowed to go to a football game at all because my parent's were really protective and that parents do what they do out of love. But she still thought he was a "jerk." So hard to be a teenager, huh? haha.

That's because you WERE trying to poison me, duh! I mean, making my bed was putting my life in danger. Geesh!
