Introduction

So I thought I'd give this blogging a try. I am still somewhat challenged when it comes to this stuff, but I love looking at others blogs, so let's see if I can figure this out.

Let me introduce you to our family. Ron and I (Julie) are the dad and mom. We have 5 children, 2 son-in-laws and 2 grandsons. Our oldest daughter Michelle is married to Jared and they have a son Brandon. Our next daughter Natalie is married to Scott and their son is Chandler. At home are our sons Scott and Taylor and daughter Lindsey. We live in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.

Ron owns a small business that sells, installs and services commercial automatic doors, parking gates, card access control. His hobbies include computer photo journaling, playing the guitar and singing, sports spectating, bike riding, and reading. He is a super dad and husband.

I am a full time mom and homemaker. Some of the things I enjoy are reading, knitting & crocheting, organizing, singing, camping, traveling, chocolate, sports spectating. I love being a wife, mom, homemaker and grandma!

Michelle, Jared and Brandon live in Heber City. They have a very nice home there and we are so grateful to have them closer to us. Jared is an atorney and works in Park City. Michelle is a mommy and homemaker. She also teaches piano in her home. Brandon is a beautiful, happy, healthy boy who brings us all great joy.

Natalie, Scott and Chandler live in Murray. Their appartment is very nice and comfortable. Scott works for a manufacturing company. He is very gifted mechanically. Natalie works part time for her dad and also cleans homes part time. Chandler is also darling, happy and healthy and a joy to us. I enjoy tending him one day a week while Natalie works.

Scott is a senior in High School. He will be graduating soon. He loves extreme biking and hanging out with friends. He likes to design houses.

Taylor is a sophomore in High School. He also loves extreme biking and hanging out with his friends. He is our animal expert.

Lindsey is in 4th grade. She loves playing soccer, ice skating, singing in her school chorus, and playing with friends.

Well that's a start anyway. This takes alot of time!
