Spinderella's Family

1640 South 600 East * Salt Lake City~ UT * 84105 * 801.668.0563

A few photos of our family- a bit nutty, but we can put up with each other if we have too! LOL

Jim - aka Spinderfella. He is a fun loving guy who married into this family. The grandkids think he is wonderful, and Jarron thinks he is one silly guy. Originally from Xenia, Ohio, Jim is quite a talented artist. He is an accomplished drummer as well as a woodworker. In his spare time, whenever that may be, he loves a round of golf, but rarely sees the courses anymore.
	Lynn - aka Spinderella. She is a mom of 4 and nana to 2, with one on the way. She likes to sketch in her spare time as well as play guitar and sing - though that is a rarity anymore. Born in Pittsburgh, Pa, Lynn has lived in the west 30 years , 20+ years in Utah.
Jim and Lynn married 4 years ago and share the love of the fiber business. We really enjoy dancing- especially ballroom and the like. On week ends you will find us at our local gaming place, Game Night Games enjoying new friends and playing all sorts of board games from around the world.We do enjoy showing our Briard dogs in confirmation, agility, herding and obedience, so we are often gone on the week ends playing with the dogs.We are hoping to relocate to the country soon. We have been looking in Colorado and Northern Utah, where we hope to live off the land and continue working with fibers.

Now the kids.......

The Boss - Deanie. He is our youngest- born in May of 1987, he is a deaf/quadriplegic child. This was the result of a virus Lynn had while pregnant- a virus called CMV- cytomeglo virus. It calcified 1/2 of his brain, leaving him unable to do anything for himself. Dean does communicate with his eyes and a smile is on his face almost all the time. Does he ever cry- or though fits? You betcha- but we are thankful that he is mostly a happy camper. He and his dog, Simcha are quite a team, and the other dogs love him as well. Deanie has a cat named Topaz, that loves to sleep with him at night. All in all- he just makes our lives richer. Many people who meet him say the same thing! Here are a few links to slideshows on Deanie - take a look... Dean.. Our little Miracle Deanie's New Ride Deanie has been able to go skiing and also goes horseback riding every other week. Take a look.

	Drew - the oldest- he lives in Oregon with his dog Kitsune. They have been there for a few years and loves it there. He is a graphic designer and plays in a band in his spare time. Drew is starting a new venture with some friends- a screen printing business.
My Daughter Shae and her husband Jon. Married Nov 2006, they make quite a pair. Shae is a hairstylist and Jon is selling cars at the moment, but plans to go to helicopter school in the spring of 2008. They live fairly close by and that is good since Jarron our grandson belongs to them. :-)
	This is our Jarron. Born in August 2001, he keeps us laughing and enjoying life. Full of energy, there is never a dull moment. He is tender hearted, and when he spends time with us, Jarron loves to play games with us and also rough house with the dogs. His antics make Deanie laugh a lot. It is fun watching him grow! Here is a slideshow Jarron and Nana made together. Jarron Sing Loudly
My Daughter Fallon and her husband Jeffery. Married August 2004. Fallon is a stay at home mom, with plans to homeschool her children. Jeffery is in non destructive testing. They are expecting another child Feb. 2008. We are all happily awaiting its birth. Our granddaughter, Azriela belongs to the two of them - so glad they live close by.
	This is our Azriela. Born in May 2005. She is another character. She decided that speech was over rated until recently. It took her 2 1/2 years to speak, but look out world- she will not shut up! A sweet little one, who adores her grandad. Here is a slideshow of Azriela made by Nana and Jarron. Our Flower Girl
This is Ezekiel. Born in April 2008. Azriela calls him "Z" or Zeke, so we all do to. "Z" had a rough start in life, having to have heart surgery ay 3 weeks old, Ezekiel is doing well and growing strong and fast. Here is our little Cowboy!
	And of course.... Our Parents Harry and Rita Snell Jim's parents. Harry is now deceased, but Rita still lives in Ohio.
Lynn's Parents Andrew and Faith Stegon live in Sounthern Colorado.
