I grew up in Providence,Ut a small town in Cache Valley. There are 7 kids in my family and I was the 4th child, following 3 boys. Growing up with 3 older brothers, I got to do all the things boys do. My dad ran the baseball leagues and we spent a lot of time at the ball park. We would get up at 6am for early morning batting practice 3-4 times a week,my love for the mornings began young, didn't want to miss out on the fun. I played boys baseball until I was 11 years old, and my Mom decided that was enough. I decided to focus on Soccer. At 14-18yrs old I traveled to Salt Lake to play on a club team and train with the Olympic Development team. We traveled all over: California, Washington, Idaho,Iowa, Nevada, Kentucky, Wyoming, Mexico. My Senior year I played in a few tournaments with the Spiders-a semi professional team out of Salt Lake, which was a really fun experience.
I got a scholarship and played for Utah State for 4 years and got a Bachelors in Family, Consumer Science w/emphasis in Early Childhood Education. Now I enjoy training Emi's team,doing college summer camps when I can, and most of all being a Mom. There is not anything more humbling than being filled with a house full of little kids, but also nothing as rewarding. Our days are full of excitement, work, laughing, tears, and we have a lot of fun. I love to run and swim, mountain bike, reading good books, visiting new places, cooking, working on projects, love spending time with my brothers and sisters.
I met Dave in my Senior year at Utah State. He was working on his Masters-Education in Instructional Technology. We have been blessed with 5 children. Emi(11) Kade(9) Dottie(7), Rod(5), Owen(3)
-My mom came from a family of 14-I have 96 first cousins. We spent a lot of time up in Afton Wyoming, Bear Lake, growing up.My Mom and my Grandma are 2 of the hardest workers I know, my hero's. I love my Savior and depend on him for so much. I love the Temple, love seeing lives change for the better, inspiring stories, meeting new people. Right now in the ward I teach in primary with Dave and serve as the Cubmaster.
