In the beginning...

Eric was 14 and Marla was 10 when they met.  Their families had cabins in the same community just outside of Lake George, Colorado.  Eric liked to fish and ride his dirt bike.  Marla liked to hang with her sister, Shalah, and Eric's sister, Kirsten.  Being the youngest, Marla often got left behind as Kirsten's 3 wheel ATV could only carry 2 people.  Eric's dad felt sorry for Marla and made Eric take Marla wherever the other girls were going.  To a 14 year old boy this was not the epitomy of excitement, but he obeyed. For a couple summers, on the weekends, one could find Eric toting Marla around on the back of his dirt bike.  Years later, Eric ran into Marla again up at the cabin, and well, she had grown up.  After much effort on Eric's part to swoon Marla, he finally had won her heart.  A never ending love story commenced.

Who We Are

As a Family, we all enjoy being together and having fun!  We are all about FUN!  We have 4 dirt bikes and a 4 wheel ATV which we love to take to the mountains and ride.  We have an RV that we jump in and roam the country in together.  We are NASCAR fans and love to watch and attend races.  (Eric and Colton are Jeff Gordon fans, Marla and Daniel are Jimmie Johnson fans, and Joshua and Dylan are Kyle Busch fans)  The boys are all into sports.  Eric coaches Colton's little league baseball team and manages his own fast ball team.  The boys all play baseball except Daniel who is a great gymnast!  Marla, well, she drives everyone from place to place and possibly gets a glimps of a practice or game every once in a while.  Eric and Marla have recently taken up a new hobby of scuba diving as well.  As if all this wasn't enough to keep a family busy, we are very active in The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.  We all stay busy with the callings and activities that the Church offers us!  Our lives are truly blessed with love for each other, love for our Savior, and love for life!

First Snow of the Season

It happened yesterday.  I can hardly believe that such a beautiful day on Saturday (in the 80's) could disappear so quickly and turn to snow on Monday (30's)!  I am too sad about the summer being gone!  On the bright side, Joshua lost his very first tooth on Sunday.  An event that has been most awaited for!  A happy phone call reached me as I was leaving church.  Yea for Joshua!
