Dixie went into Medical Records at LDS Business College. That career soon ended when children started coming. She has had a variety of different jobs, but currently is working at Canyons School District in the Pre-school for Autistic children as a Para-educator.
As a family they enjoy having Sunday dinner together each week. Everyone is so busy going their different directions this is the one time they can all come together and catch up. They enjoy the time together.
Gary likes to golf, but recently he as been going to scount camps and helping ward members with different projects.
Dixie just works hard at finding time to get the family together for anything that works for everyone's schedule.
Tyler loves working out at the Gym. Right now he does a lot of strength training and loves reading or watching movies that have anything to do with WWII.
Chris and Kerra like traveling together and spending time with family as much as possible. Chris also works in his yard and plays with his girls. Kerra loves creating hair bows or clothing for her girls.
Spencer has a dog named Oliver and spends time with him and his friends playing soccer or camping.
Abbey is very social and seems to have an acitivity almost every day with friends. She does enjoy volunteering at Primary Children's Medical Center of Riverton.
Rylee is also very social and likes planning outings with her friends and for her YSA Group. She also enjoys reading and spending time with mom (Dixie).
As for favorite sports teams.... Gary and Tyler are BIG Jazz fans, they also like college football and basketball. Gary also follows GOlf when he gets a chance. Chris loves all sports as a spectator, he can tell you stat's on most any team or player of all sports. Spencer follows soccer when he can. Dixie watches whatever the family is watching. Abbey and Rylee will sit in on a game when they are around.
Vacation?..... What is a vacation? they have not been on a family vacation since the kids were little. But they used to love to go camping at Granite Flat up American Fork Canyon.
Favorite Family memory....Probably when we went camping together with extended family members to Granite Flat Camp Ground and would sit around the campfire and tell stories.
