Kevin and Deb met at a Pleasant Grove High School Dance. Deb was there with a date and saw this really cute guy who had come to the dance with a bunch of guy friends. It was honestly love at first sight. Deb disappeared from her date and asked this really cute guy to dance with her.

It was the cute guy from the dance. Kevin was just as surprised as Deb was when the door opened because he was at this house to ask for a job.

Give Lily scissors, glue, paper, feathers, glitter and in no time she will have a masterpiece that she will display on her bedroom door. Landon is almost 7 years old. He is one of the funniest little guys you will meet. He keeps our entire family laughing so hard.

Jamie (age 31) is married to Clint Tomlinson and lives in Lindon, Utah. Clint works with his father at Tomlinson Auto Body and builds ATV roll cages.

He was chosen to play in the All Stars game last week that takes all the best players from the state. He is looking forward to playing football in the fall (his 2nd love next to baseball). Last fall he was a starter for his school basketball team. Brayden loves to camp, fish, play with his many nieces and nephews and spend time with his dad and friends.

Kevin has been serving as Bishop of their ward for 3 years now. He is a great Bishop and can connect with so many people because of the trials and experiences he has had. There is nothing that Kevin and Deb love more than being with their family. They make and effort to have one "all family" vacation every year. This year they went to Disneyland and the California beaches. Last year the took a trip to Nauvoo and the Black Hills. They have traveled to Moab to ATV, they have ran the river in Jackson Hole Wyoming, they have camped at Yellowstone where some of the grandkids said the hot pots smelled like Papa (Kevin), hiked Zions and Snow Canyon, and the adults went on an Alaskan Cruise. One of their favorite things to do is blow up the huge waterslide ( it has 3 waterslides on it) in the backyard and have a BBQ. It can be a challenge trying to have vacations with so many little ones but the memories are priceless.

Some of the memories that Kevin has is moving to the farm in Pleasant Grove, having to take care of the farm while Dad was in Alaska, living in the shed with a toilet in the corner, milking the cows and hauling the hay. All of these experiences helped him learn how to work hard and appreciate what he has. He remembers going to Bear Lake and camping on the beach, taking the family to Lake Powell with all the sunburns and Dad setting up the scaffolding for the 4th of July parade every year. This tradition still carries on as Kevin will go very early to save seats for the family to watch the parade. Deb remembers coming to Kevin's house to meet his family. Richie was in the high chair, asleep, with his face in his plate of spaghetti. She remembers asking if he was okay that way...wouldn't he suffocate? They assured he that he did this all the time... it was the only time they could get him to take a nap. But seriously, Deb's fondest memories are not really memories but a feeling.... the feeling of Dad's strong arms giving hugs. He had, and still has, the best bear hugs around!

Scott and Nancy











Brandon and Chelsey



Scott and Nancy have been married for 29 years, they met when Nancy was working as a bookkeeper for Dad.
I recall Scott and Nancy living in the basement of the home on Nathaniel Drive for awhile and Mom mentioned she was pregnant with Gail while Nancy was pregnant with Cameron. Cameron is only a couple of months older than his Aunt Gail.
Cameron 27, is the oldest of five kids. Cameron graduated in 2000 from Scott's alma matter, Uinta High School where Cameron was the Student Body President. He then served a mission to San Jose, Ca. Cameron is now married to Becca and they have been married for two years and live in Springville. They met in their current home where Cameron's best freind and wife lived and Becca is best friends with Cameron's freind's wife (did that make sense?). Cameron works for RNI as a truck driver and Becca graduated with an associates at Snow College and now works for a property management company in Orem. Becca loves to do crafts in her spare time and Cameron recently bought a street bike for a hobby. They currently have two dogs...

Tyson 26, and his wife Jenn of 7 years also call Springville home. Tyson graduated from Spanish Fork High School and currently works at Les Schwab in Lindon as a mechanic. Jenn is the store manager at the Ross store in Orem. Jenn is a native of Louisianna and was a recent convert to the Church before moving to Utah. Tyson and Jenn are big LSU fans and we BYU fans can find solice in that since former BYU coach Gary Crowton is there running the offense.

Stacia 24, has been married to Dominic for about 5 years now. They started out as pen pals , Dominic was in his native island Nevis, a small island in the East Carribean (Maybe that is where we should go for our next family reunion). When Dominic first visited Utah it was in the middle of winter and based on how cold he was, Stacia must have really had a hold on his heart to keep him here. Dominic is working on his schooling to become an Air traffic Controller at UVUand he also recently got his US citizenship. Stacia and Dominic are currently living in Scott and Nancy's basement.

Chelsey 21, after high school she moved out with a friend and still lives close to the family.

Brandon 18, is the the gym rat, lady's man in the family. He played linebacker for the Timpview T-birds last fall when they won the state championship. He is looking forward to his senior year next year.

Scott and Nancy live in Scott's grandma's old house in Provo, Ut (Actually Edgemont) Just south of the mouth of Provo Canyon. They have lived there for 10 years now and love it location close to everything without the city feel. Just do not get caught at their house after a BYU game unless you have plenty of time.

Nancy is the talented one in the family. She plays the piano beautifully and has served several years as the organist in their ward.

Scott works as the dispatcher for RNI in Roosevelt where he works a 96 hour shift on and then a 96 hour shift off. Nancy is the store manager for Ross Dress for Less in Draper.

The family gets together often and never misses celebrating a birthday together. As a family they enjoy vacations, movies and of course cooking and eating together. One of their favorite vacations is going snowmobiling up to Yellowstone as a family.

Scott still has a soft spot in his heart for BYU, he even bought football season tickets last year. When he is off work and Nancy has to work he will often go take her out for lunch. Scott is actually very anxious to become a Grandpa, hopefully soon.
Scott enjoys being behind the wheel just like Dad, Road trip anyone?
