Where were you born and raised?
I was born in SLC but moved to St. George when I was 4.5 years old. I am grateful my parents moved here, I love the area and the people here.
Where did you go to school?
I loved going to West Elementary, the 6th grade Center, going to Dixie Middle and Dixie High School and then on to Dixie College where I got an associates in science.
How did you and your husband meet?
Kerry knew my older brother and sister so it took him a long time to ask me out my first year of college. He finally got up the courage, I guess you will have to ask him, and took me to Dixie College’s Homecoming Dance. It was the best night of my life. We unfortunately stayed out past midnight with our big group; we were at Jeff Andrus’ parent’s house. On the way home Kerry fell asleep at the wheel and hit a parked car. I was already fast asleep, getting up at 5 that morning to clean the whole house by myself because my parents and younger brother were in SLC for something for my little bro Cameron and there was no way Travis my older brother had time to help me because he was going to Homecoming himself. Needless to say we ended up in the hospital that night. Luckily my parents and little bro felt the need to get home which I didn’t know about until after the accident. And so the story goes on to say we ended up a month later getting engaged, 3 months later getting married. Almost 21 years later, 8 kids later and I am still living the happily ever after. I tease my husband that we had to go through the accident so he would see me and not the missionary he sent off a month before we went to Homecoming!!
What are the names and ages of your kids?
Nikolas is 19.5 years old and getting ready to go on a mission, Maddisen will be 18 on Christmas day and she is a senior this year. Chandler is turning 16 on Thanksgiving day this year and he is a sophomore. Maceson is 14 and is a freshman. Kayelee is 12 going on 20 and she is in 7th grade. Ethan will be 6 in January and he loves Kindergarten. Nathan will be 4 in December and he is my handful. Holland is 21 months old, all girl and is the baby of the family which means she has 7 other parents.
What are your hobbies and favorite things to do?
Hobbies and favorite things to do, I have to laugh I knew what that was once a upon a time….. family is my life. I love to go to the temple every Friday with Kerry. I love to watch movies and play games with the kids. We like to put together puzzles, and have hot cocoa in the winter, spring, summer and fall. I am a mom 100%, a wife 150% and I love it 200% of the time.
What is something unique about you?
I consider myself an 8 cow wife and I love being a mom to 8 wonderful children. I am grateful that the Lord has blessed me and that he trusts me enough to raise 8 of his own. But thank goodness the Lord felt that 8 were enough. I am lucky enough to be squished between an older sister and younger brother who are great and that I have an older brother who was a great example to me. Not that my other brother and sister aren’t. TEE HEE!!
