Our Family

Mike and I met in college. We spent the first 10 years in British Columbia, Canada where we had our first 2 children, Amber and Braden. We loved our time there with wonderful family and friends. But we felt the need to move to the States and have been here the past 11 years where Tanner and Jordan were born. We love the small town we live in, the wonderful people that are here, and being closer to Danae's family. We enjoy spending time together working and playing.

Dad's Retirement Party



My Dad retired after 40 years in the sugar beet field. Congratulations Dad! All 6 sibblings were there for a wonderful party and a great weekend together. The sisters bunked out in a hotel and shopped till we dropped! Late night hot tubing and talking were included.

Tanner's 11th Brithday

















Tanner turned 11 and had a great birthday! For his special dinner he chose to have stuffed french toast with strawberries, bacon and hashbrowns. Yummy! Mom and Dad had fun making him a magnent board for his bedroom.

Tanner's last Pack meeting






Tanner has worked hard in Weebloes. At pack meeting he earned his Arrow of Light award as well as his compass badge and many pins. He earned all twenty pins possible and recieved a certificate with a badge saying "20".
Since he is turning 11 he was advanced to an 11-year-old scout. All the cubs made a human tunnel for him to walk through and he was giving a cool walking stick.
Congratulations Tanner!! Jordan helped with the flag ceremony.
