US

1964

And finally, a little about our lives. We have been married since 1961 and have loved it all. We've been blessed with 8 kids, 24 grand kids, and 4 great-grandsons!

Christmas 1982

We love spending time with all of our family, we usually have some special get together's for Easter and Christmas, as well as our annual camp-out every Labor Day.

One of our first Labor day camp-outs.

We love to travel and visit as many Temples as we can when we do. We're relishing the time that we have together but, as Byron says, we're not retired, we're just plain tired!

The ladies of the family, 2005

Our great-grandsons

R. Knighton

Last, but not least, Reeve is our last child. He is married to LeAnn and they have four kids, Tolma, Kimball, Eden and Tait. They live in Southern Utah where Reeve works at a youth ranch and LeAnn gets to stay home with their kids. They are very involved with church callings, Reeve is in the bishoporic, and family so they stay very busy.

Tolman is 5 and will be in kindergarten this fall, Kimball is 3, Eden is almost 2, and Tait is the newest member of thier family, born May 4, 2008.

L. Knighton

Lincoln was number seven and our second son. He is married to Jacqui and they have (as of today!) four kids, Mikayla, Hunter, Brooklyn, and Connor. They live in Southern Utah, Lincoln works for Ford while he is going to the police academy, and Jacqui works for Costco.

Mikayla is 8 and was baptized this spring, Hunter is 5 and will start kindergarten this fall, Brooklyn is almost 2, and Connor was just born at 9:55 this morning! He weighed in at 8 lbs 11 oz and is already letting mom take a nap.

Hendry

Sage was our sixth child, and the beginning of our "second family" because of the age gap. She is married to Mark Hendry and they lve in Southern Utah. They have five kids: Kirby, Chans, Drayk, Rylee and Ryder. Sage does some day-care in her home and she is a consultant for Scentsy. Mark is a compliance officer for the city, so he gets the fun job of telling other people to follow the law! They keep very busy with their family.

Kirby, 16, is a lifeguard this summer, and will be a junior in high school next year.

Chans is 14 and likes to skateboarding, Drayk is 11, Rylee is 8 and is a 'little mother' because she helps take care of the kids so well. And Ryder is 5 and will start kindergarten this year.

Roberts

Acia is our blue-eyed fifth child, she is married to Gene Roberts and they have four kids: Sirus, Byron, Chace and Karyn. They live in Cedar City, but Gene is a truck driver, so he's on the road most of the time. Acia and the kids enjoy taking turns going on the road with him. Acia is busy with the two little ones left at home and missing her older boys.



Sirus is currently on a mission in London, England, but will be home later this month! We're so excited to have him back soon, he's been doing a wonderful job on his mission.



Byron enlisted in the Marines this year and is currenly training in Missouri, and will probably be deployed next year.

Chace is 14 and Karyn is 11.

B. Knighton

Our fourth child was our first son, Baron. He is married to Ana and they have 2 sons, Kolby and Jordan. They live in the Salt Lake Valley where Baron works for Intermountain Electric supply and Ana works at Datatix. Baron has always been a very good mechanic and enjoys seeing how things work and working with his hands, they also love to spend time with their families, especially if it involves sports.

Kolby is working and enjoys being with all of his family. Jordan just graduated form Kearns High School and is deciding what his next step will be. Both of the boys have always been involved in sports whether it's playing or coaching.

Wysocki

Our third daughter, Salli, passed away September 4th 2006. We miss her greatly and think of her every day. She struggled with many health issues in this earthly life, but we know that she is now free from the body that held her here and is happier. We attended the Temple as a family in November 2007 to do Salli's Temple work, and it was such a sweet experience. Salli has three step-children with her husband Bob Wysocki, Marisa, Steven and Robert as well as their daughter Sami.

Before she passed away, Salli had the joy of being a grandmother for a few short months. Sami is married to Brandon Jackson and they have a cute little boy also named Brandon. They are living in Southern Utah where they work for a grocery chain and love raising their son.

Corbit

Our second daughter, Templ, is married to Michael Corbit and they have 2 daughters, Sara and Emma. They live in the Salt Lake City area where Templ works one-on-one with a a special needs student at a charter school. She's worked in special education for 18 years now and has always been very good at it. Mike works for a printing company and also does car artwork and races cars on the side. And they love being grandparents!

Sara is married to Michael and they have 3 boys. They are in Northern Utah where Sara gets to stay home raising their kids and Michael works for a technology contracting company.

Emma will be a junior in high school this year and she has also tried her hand at racing cars!
