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.

Catalina 2010












It was so nice to go to Catalina and have almost all my kids there!! Grannie, Sally, me and Blaine, Devonn, Carla, James and Andrew, Quinn, Emilee and Gary, Garrett and his girlfriend Jessie, Jazmine and her friend Naomi. We had fun eating at Antonio's Pizza, and then watching Toy Story 3 in the Casino movie theater. James and Andrew got to have the real Jessie sit in between them lol. Our hotel was great! We were in the La Paloma with 7 of us. Grannie and Sally were in the Atwater, Devonn, Carla and the boys were in the Pavillon Lodge, Emilee and Gary were in the Seacrest Inn. The second day we have fun in the ocean. We all met up to go snorkeling at Lover's Cove. I had a great time. We showered and everyone came to our hotel to eat, we BBq'd hotdogs and Sally brought some coleslaw, and we had chips and dip. It's nice to have a kitchen and gas BBQ grill just outside our door. Our balcony had an ocean view too. Later some of us met to go on the Flying Fish boat. I love that historical boat ride. The weather was cool and breezy at night. I loved the 70 degree days. The third day we shopped and Sally and Grannie rented a golf cart so we could take the scenic drive along the hills. I already miss it. I love how relaxing it is there and the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves lapping against the boats.
