Meet Jen's Family

All of Jen's family live in Utah. Even though they live so far away we still see them a couple times a year and talk at least weekly with them. Since we don't see them all the time, every time we do it is like a big reunion and we have fun together. And since so far our kids are the only grand kids, they enjoy being spoiled by their grandparents and aunts and uncle!

Jen's Dad works for Wells Fargo and serves as bishop in his ward. He loves surprising his grand kids with visits. They most recently surprised us with a visit on Halloween. He does an awesome Donald Duck impression that the boys LOVE! They sure love their Papa!

Jen's Mom was a stay-at-home mom most of her life. She had an in-home daycare at one time as well as an in-home preschool. She is so great with kids! She is also a very talented artist and has painted huge murals on the walls in the basement of their home.

Jen has four sisters. One sister, Allyson, died when she was a baby. Jen is the oldest then comes "Aunt Kimmy." Kim visits us every summer and we have so much fun! She graduated from BYU-Idaho and now works in the Library at BYU. She is pursuing her Masters in Library Science. Next would come Allyson, and then there is "Aunt Ashie." Ashley recently graduated from BYU with a degree in Elementary Education and is currently a nanny while she looks for a teaching job. She also loves kids and has fun playing with Luke and Isaac. Heather is the baby of the family. She is a junior in high school and is the family jock. She is on the volleyball and basketball team. She also has played tennis and has a 4.0 GPA!

And then there is the lone brother in the family, "Uncle Dan." He comes between Ashley and Heather. He served an LDS mission in San Fernando CA and is currently attending Utah Valley University. He was on the swim team in high school. He is great with the kids and lets them crawl all over him, which they love!
