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.

Time with Andrew

Andrew got to come spend the night with us while his mom and dad went to the Temple. James spent the night with his mima. James got to about 2 weeks ago. Andrew is so smart! We took him with us to Walmart and on the way as we drove past Target, he said, "nana, my mima and papa Frank took me and James to Target but you weren't there." He knew Target as we drove past, hmmm?? Then while we were in the store he kept asking for a santa hat so we went to go look at them, we tried one on him and I asked him if he was sure that mom and dad didn't already buy him one, he said "no, we looked at them in Target but mom and dad didn't get it for us" There was a lady standing right next to us and her mouth dropped open and she said "how old is he? He sure can speak well!" I told her he was only 2 and she was shocked. We played balloon ball catch, we played cars, we read books and then we got on our PJ's and popped popcorn and we all went into the living room on the blue couch and watched The Ghost Whisperer. He actually watched most of it. When the Ghost broke the window in Melinda's house he was glued to it! Then he brushed his teeth, vitamins and allergy medicine and rocked with papa, till he asked to go get in his bed. He went right to sleep. I sure love my grandbabies!!

LOL, are you surprised he knew Target when he saw it? Thanks for watching him!!! We needed to go to the temple so badly, we've been so busy with school and life so taking a break and going to the temple was perfect. Thanks for letting us use the FJ too... it was way better than our car :) Devonn said that maybe your Christmas present to us can be you guys agreeing to watch the boys once a month while we go to the temple :)

Only 1 week until Knott's Berry Farm!
