Hey Eileen!
There is lots of family time. Don't worry about that! :) I get the canning done in the morning so I can play the rest of the day. As for wave watching - the boys would love to go. But alas - Nephi has a cast on his full leg and if he got sand in it...it would be torture for him. So the boys have been told repeatedly we can't go to the beach until Nephi gets his cast off.

I just love this picture! The beach...it's the place to be!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
