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.

Sweet Rusty



We buried Rusty today, he was the sweetest dog I think we ever had. We got him at the pound, he was blind in one eye and just brought in after being left at a truck stop in Delano. What a sweet dog, dad took one look at him wagging his tail all excited and we had to have him. He was about 14 years old, he had diabetes and complications of pancreitis, liver failure and kidney failure. The vet said she probably would not be able to save him and that he was uncomfortable having difficulty breathing, so we held him and loved on him and kissed his nose and they put him to sleep. He just peacefully went to sleep. What a good dog he was. We will miss you Rusty. we have lots of pictures of Rusty in Albums and with his cute hair cut he always got each summer, sometime I'll go find them and scan some. This was taken on Quinn's birthday in 2000.
