Robert & Shawna Roberts

The Roberts family came from a four year tour in Baumholder, Germany now actively stationed here in Utah. We have three children. Tylee is 12, Victoria is 11, and Garrett is 9 years old. We have two dogs and no other animals. We listen to all kinds of music, watch different things on the T.V. and enjoy all positive types of people. We are open and honest types of people and will tell you no lies. Any questions anyone wants to know about the active duty life, just ask.

Brandon & Brianna Crane

Brandon is from Texas and I am from Cache Valley. We met because Brandon's cousin asked me to start writing Brandon while he was serving an LDS mission. We wrote for almost two years and became really good friends. When he got home we dated and then were engaged shortly after that! We have been married for four, wonderful years! We have a sweet little girl who is almost 18 months old. We are expecting our second little girl in April 2010 and can't wait!

As a family we LOVE to be outside. We love to be in the mountains or around water. We are usually teasing each other, and we love to laugh! Brandon is a huge sports fan, so you can often find us either watching a game on TV or outside trying to play together. (Yes, even with our little girl!) We love to make things together, especially if it means Brandon gets to use his tools. We love spending time together as a family, even if we aren't doing anything too extravagant.

Brandon plans on being active duty in the Army as soon as he graduates. He is not totally set on a certain career in the Army yet, but we are having a lot of fun exploring our options. Brandon is very passionate about his country and the freedoms that we enjoy. Being in the Army is a perfect fit for him! We are excited to get him done with school, and to see what new adventures are ahead of us!

Congrats to the Fraidenbergs!

Tina Fraidenburg had her baby over the Thanksgiving holidays! Her name is Hadley Nicole, she was 6lbs, 7oz. She ended up having to delivering in SLC while visiting John's family. Congrats to her and her new bundle of joy! They are both doing well, just feeling a little tired.

Jamen & Krista Woodstock

Jamen attended Dixie State College in St. George, UT, before his mission, and one of the classes that he took was fitness center. He happened to fail that class before going on his mission to Ohio/Kentucky, so when he returned, he thought it would be a good idea to retake fitness center so he could get that "F" off his transcript. Well, I just happened to be working at the fitness center, and he would tell you that I was so taken with his muscles that I fell in love at first sight, but that's not true. It's true that I liked him instantly, but it wasn't because of his muscles, it was because he was and is so hot! Anyway, we dated for 12 DAYS and then got engaged. After being engaged for about two months, we were married on August 9, 2002. Our first son, Toren, was born ten months later! Then we had Ander two years after that, and finally our third and final boy, Kai, was born two and a half years after that. It's definitely been a very busy seven years of marriage.

We've lived in St. George, UT; Ivins, UT; Nibley, UT; and now Logan, UT! Jamen and I enjoy going to movies together, hiking, eating out, biking, going to USU sports games, and just about anything else with our boys. We love going on cruises and so far we've been to the Bahamas and Hawaii-both very fun! One of the most daring things we did together in the Bahamas was parasailing, and although I will not put my face under water, Jamen loves to snorkel. He even attempted surfing in Hawaii.

Mostly, we're a very laid back couple and love to be at home, in our comfy clothes, watching movies, and surfing the net! Our three boys are the lights of our lives and we are so excited for them to keep growing. One of the most rewarding things as a parent is to see your children grow and become their own individual.

The Ball Was A Hit!

Thanks to all of those who came to the Military Ball; everyone looked amazing! The Woodstock family were the winners of the Ultimate Date Night. Congrats! We were able to raise $422 that will help with some great activities in January!
