Introducing Jessica

Jessica is my first born princess. She has lived in North Dakota (8 weeks!), Okinawa, South Dakota, England, Georgia and Florida. She is involved in band, and has gone to regional history fair two years. She played three soccer seasons for the YMCA and is too old this year for their program.

In the past she has played t-ball, coach pitch, machine pitch & softball but hasn't played any baseball in the past few years, she also played indoor soccer and roller hockey and pee wee flag football.

She played violin two years but after we moved we didn't find another string program for her so she switched to saxophone. We haven't had band the last two years at school but it's starting again this year.

Jessica is also very involved at church and is the preschool children's church assistant and security monitor. She just returned from a week in Ottawa with World Changers and has gone to Teen Mission camp three times.

Introducing Tyler

Tyler is my First Born and a great kid. He's showing abilities in computer and technology right now and is thinking about designing computer games in the future.

Ty is 17 but you wouldn't think so because he struggles with ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome. But it doesn't affect his academics because he's one smart guy, a year book photographer, part of the police Explorers program and a children's church worker. Since birth he has lived in ND, Okinawa, SD, England, GA and FL.

Ready for School

Aboard a Carribean cruise.

Tyler played Upward basketball one year but due to having Asperger's syndrome, physical activities are difficult for him.


Tyler assisted me with my peewee soccer team. He stood behind our goal and made sure the kids were putting the ball in the right goal. If you have to ask why he needed to do this, you haven't had a child on a peewee team!


Tyler is part of the police department Explorer's program. He is also the most popular volunteer in our church's toddler program!
