| Introduction | It was half of a blind date. Becky was blind, Eric wasn't. He'd seen her at a BYU church activity and was enamored.He introduced himself when he called to ask her out; she accepted. He gave her a ring on their first date (okay, it came in the Cracker Jacks he bought her - but it was a sign) and one year later, Sept. 29, 1972 he slipped a real ring on her finger in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.- - - Well that was 35 years ago and now we have 7 children, 6 of whom are married - Becton(Jenni), Carrie(Matt), Bryn(Kerry), Tyman(Meghan), Melynn(Spencer), Cortney(Shannon)and Tanner. We have 14 grandchildren - Makailyn, Jayden, Bryanna, Hallie, Maci, Darius, Cambry, Jackson, Jaren, Maddox, Mckinlay, Peyton, EmmaLee, & Kylan (until Melynn&Spence have Madelyn in July).
