About Us

Billings, Montana, United States
The Professor and I were civilly married 24 May 1998 and sealed for time and all eternity 11 Sept 1999 in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple, American Fork, UT. We have, between us 6 biological children and 3 we claim as ours through the heart strings! We call Billings, Montana home and love it here. We camp, hunt, fish, ride horses and LOVE bull riding and rodeos. Our church is a huge part of our lives and our callings keep us very busy. We love our Saviour, Jesus Christ and strive to show that love to our fellow man every day. We got our nicknames because I am the "spark" that keeps things lively around here, and he was smart enough to marry me! That's the short story on it anyway!

RILEY GETS NAILED AGAIN

Poor Riley....and our poor pocket book! I wonder if he's going to be the dog that just keeps getting hurt and/or sick throughout his life?


Yesterday I was at work when the Elders called me and said that Riley was hurt, so I went home and looked at him, and sure enough, he had a nice big gash just under his right eye. I took him to the vet and they stitched him up, and now he has to wear one of those ridiculous looking elizabethan collars for the next two weeks to protect the stitches from getting torn out.



We are not sure exactly what happened, but our guess is that Beau and Riley got to playing a little too rough as they sometimes do.

Poor guy! First it's Parvo, now this, what is next for him? Geesh!!!

In less than a week, Jacob will be home again! We are excited for him to get here and for him to be able to learn a trade that, if he makes the most of it, can benefit him for the rest of his life! Our friend Alan Nicholls is going to teach him to drive a big rig and help him get his CDL, then have Jake drive for him and his moving company. What an opportunity this is for Jake!

That is too bad about poor Riley! Sure glad it was fixable though. How exciting for Jake! I always wanted to learn to drive a big rig, and someday I may. I'm jealous!
