Our Family

Our life together

We were married on March 17, 2001. We have one daughter, Alexis who is 8 1/2 years old, one son, Levi who is 2 1/2, and another baby girl who will join our family in February 2012. We moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming 5 years ago and it has been the best decision we have made for our life. We have become closer as a family since we have moved here.

Camping in the summer of 2011

We had alot of fun this summer camping whenever we had the opportunity. The kids love to play in the dirt and climb all over the rocks. Isaac is the best when it comes to dutch oven cooking, and I don't mind letting him do all the cooking while we are camping.

We got some kid sized 4-wheelers that the kids love to ride on. Levi isn't big enough to ride by himself yet, but we squeezed onto it so we could take him for a ride.

We had alot of fun when Eric & Kellee's family joined us camping. When all the kids get together, they have such a great time. We even found a cool stream where the kids practiced fishing and the dogs played in the water.

We got a really old camper last year, older than any of us. But it fits our family perfectly. It has been great to load up quickly and give us all a place to sleep, and a bathroom!

We really enjoy getting away and enjoying the peace and quiet in the mountains. We get to make so many memories.

Snow play

Since moving to Wyoming, there are some adjustments we've had to make. Since half of the year is winter time here, and very cold, we have to find other ways to occupy our time. Here is Alexis and her cousins getting pulled on their sleds by the riding lawnmower. I know it seems a little hillbilly, but it fits in here in Wyoming. And boy did they have a blast!
It's great to have such wonderful family here. It has truly been a blessing to have the opportunity to live close to Isaac's family. They are all such wonderful and loving people. I appreciate all the times we have spent together.
I do still miss my family back in Phoenix. They are all such important people in my life. The Benzel women are such strong women and are each an inspiration to me. I love you all.
