Kristen Spaulding

Hello, I'm Kristen, I was born and raised in Virginia (right by Washington DC). When I was 20 I fell in love with a tall dark and handsome boy from New York (not the city). He is so much fun and keeps me on my toes. After college he got a job and then that job moved us to Utah. (I did not want to move here). We have lived here in West Haven for 13 years and I love it. We have been married for 17 years and have 6 kids. Dayton, 16 is a 10th grader at Roy, Camrie, 12 is a 7th grade at Sandridge, Taryn, 9 is a 4th grader at West Haven, Jaren 6 is a kindergarter at West Haven, Ryder and Chase are 4. 4 1/2 years ago we were shocked and excited to be having twins. Things were a little crazy when they were born but it was just another one of our exciting stories. Then we were shocked again when our Chase got sick. We got to have him for 15 days before he became our own personal angel.
I have 5 kids in 4 different schools and many different activities and sports and that's my life. I always seem to be going to one school or another and in the few minutes I am not running a kid around I like to...
Read (only Regency Romances), go to lunch with friends, day date or date night with my husband, bargain shopping, movies & popcorn, and my other favorite thing is seeing my amazing huge family. I have 7 siblings and my parents have 42 grandkids and I love our big loud crazy holidays together.
I have been a member of the church my whole life and I can't imagine living a single day with out the comforts and guidance it brings.
Also I am a horrible speller, hate dark chocolate and lie about my age, (I tell my kids I am 28).

My husband Jeremy and I met and fell in love during the fall of 2005. Halloween is subsequently our favorite holiday. I work at West Haven Elementary.

Nikki Smith

 My name is Nicki Smith,

I have been married for 12 years as of the 16th of this month. My husband Mike and I met at Layton high school our senior year in 2006. We were in English class when this weird boy (my now husband) wouldn’t stop staring at me all googly eyed, lol. We dated for almost two years then got married a little after high school! I am very shy and not very outgoing (I wish I was more outgoing, it would be easier making friends), I love food, love playing board games, love crafts (need to make time for myself to start painting again....I’m not good at making time for myself at all), and I love spending time with my little family. My husband and I have done opposite shifts for almost 6 years and now waiting to get approved to both be on days! My fun, silly boys are Zander that just turned 10, and Hayden that just turned 7, and our cute cat’s name is Leo.

Sarah Funk

 I have loved reading and seeing the pics that others have posted! My name is Sarah. We have lived here for 10 years. Jake and I have been married 18 years. We have 4 kiddos that keep us running. Rylee (15) goes to Roy High, Alivia (13) goes to Sandridge, Porter (9) and Sam (7) both boys go to West Haven. I Also work part time at West Haven Elementary. Jake grew up on a little bit of a farm in Uintah and he always wanted to have a little property to raise animals and I grew up in the suburbs and have always wanted to have neighbors and people around. This house was our compromise. We have a pony that you may have seen my daughter Rylee ride around with a cart. We also have goats, pigs, sheep, chickens and bees. All of those animals are kind of Jake's domain. I prefer to keep my animals out of the freezer

😂. So I have a dog and and cat. I like to hike. We even did a couple of backpacking trips as a family this summer and I found I quite like it. I like to ski, play pickle ball, play games, shop for bargains and plan things. I know planning is a kind of a crazy hobby, but truth be told I LOVE to plan activities and vacations. I might be a bit of a "dreamer". I grew up moving a lot and maybe that is part of why, but I also love to meet new people. I am excited to be back in the ward with so many I already know and love, but I am also excited to meet those I don't know.

Jessica Peterson

Hello everyone!! I’m Jessica and I have lived in West Haven for just over 2 years now and, wow, I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since we moved here! Me and my husband, Cameron, moved here from Spanish Fork which is down in Utah County, but I am originally from Ohio. I’m a medical coder for IHC and my husband is an engineer at Autoliv. We have 3 crazy boys, Arkhem (just turned 8 and got baptized this past Saturday), Finnlan (5), and Remick (18 months) and our 2 girls, Juno (Great Pyrenees) and Kali (Great Dane) who definitely keeps us on our toes! I’m terrible at making mom friends but if you love to bake and decorate cakes/cupcakes (or even just eating them), read books, sing, play piano, listen to true crime podcasts, watch true crime podcasts and/or serial killer documentaries, and of course, wear pj’s all day everyday because actually having to get dressed in the morning and look like a functioning adult requires more energy than you’re able (or willing) to spend, then let’s be besties! 😆 Our family loves to play games, be outdoors, ride bikes, and generally socialize with other families to keep us from driving each other insane!
