Back ground

I thought I would start by doing some background. I thought I would do Jake and I first, then one child a day till I reach the baby.

I was born and raised in California. Oh how I miss the beach. My favorite things to do are scrapbook, read, and be with my family and friends. I'm as girly girl as it gets. I love high heels and ruffles and pink and shiney things. I love being a mother and am so glad I get to stay home and attempt to keep some form of order in my home. I don't enjoy cooking, but I seem to have a talent for it, especially meat.

Jake claims he is from Minnesota. His favorite things to do are watch tv, read, karate, play Magic, and being with his family. He has worked 10 years as a systems engineer. So, in otherwords, he is very smart. Jake's least favorite thing is the color "school bus" yellow.

Jake and I met in September of 2000, but didn't have our first date until December. Jake first asked me to marry him on New's Year Eve of that year and then made it offical with a ring in January 2001. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 30, 2001. In 2002 we moved to Saratoga Springs and after one move we are still there living in our dream home.

We have now been married for 10 years and have 5 children. So in other words we are very busy with life, soccer, karate, dance, scouts, church, work, cooking, and ect.....(the list goes on and on and on and on)
