”Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” As a military family, our time with loved ones is limited, but we cherish every moment together. We make it a priority to see both sides of our family at least once a year, despite them being spread across California, Tennessee, and Japan. Kylie shares a special bond with her brother Spencer, while Zack is close to his brother and his family, including our niece Amelia. The loss of Zack's sister in 2009 has strengthened his family ties, reminding us of the importance of cherishing one another. Amelia. The loss of Zack's sister in 2009 has strengthened his family ties, reminding us of the importance of cherishing one another.

WE LOVE TO TRAVEL We have seen a lot of the world together, and it is our goal to show the world to our children. Some of the places we’ve been included: Tokyo, Japan, Yellowstone National Park; Monterey California, Glacier National Park, Disneyland Japan; Universal Studios Osaka; Seattle; and countless more. We were very fortunate to live in Japan for three years and experience what that side of the world is like, giving us endless opportunities to make memories overseas. Our current adventure bucket list includes places like Mexico, Disney World, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Italy, and Greece. While we have visited some of these places individually, we would like to experience them together. When we go to new areas, one of our favorite things to do is try their food. Japan had some of the best, and we still miss it to this day, but even things like Montana Huckleberry catch our eye when we visit new places. Fun Fact about Kylie: She went on forty airplane rides to visit family before she was four years old! Travel has always been her favorite! - OUR FAVORITE PLACE EVER: GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA - WEIRDEST FOOD WE'VE HAD: COWS TONGUE MISAWA, JAPAN - GREATEST EXPERIENCE: TOKYO, JAPAN

ABOUT MISO & BAKER Miso is our first-ever pet together! He is a white American shorthair, which is ironic since we adopted him when we lived in Japan. He is three years old and absolutely spoiled to the core. One thing we adore about him is how vocal and protective he is. We never could have believed that such sass could be packed into such a tiny body! He is truly the best first pet we could have asked for; he is affectionate and cuddly and always ready to play. Miso is very friendly with new people and kids, but more curious than anything. Baker is our other kitten! He is the complete opposite of Miso in nearly every way. He is a long-haired tabby. His demeanor is calm, with a hint of jumpiness. As he grows older, he seems to be coming out of his shell more and more. You could hear him purr from houses away! He is very affectionate and never quick to turn down a treat. We adopted Baker only about four months after Miso for companionship, and they are the best of buds. Baker’s favorite spot to sleep is our nursery. We often times find him cuddled up in the crib or the changing table!

After three wonderful years in Japan, we now call Montana home, and we couldn’t be happier. This beautiful state, with its stunning wildlife and diverse terrain, has captured our hearts. We love immersing ourselves in nature—fishing in crystal clear rivers, hiking breathtaking trails, and exploring national parks like Yellowstone and Glacier. Our two-story duplex has a large backyard, perfect for play, and we’re part of a diverse community on a military base with many children and a school within five miles. The general feel for our home is “comfy-cozy.” We prioritize cleanliness and security in a space where we can relax at the end of the day. As Zachary prepares to retire from the military, we’re excited about moving to Texas in the new year. This transition marks a new chapter, and we look forward to the stability of settling in one place. We can’t wait to explore Texas's rich culture and vibrant communities as we build a home where we can finally put down roots.

Losing three children has left a mark on our hearts, a void that can never be filled. Each birthday brings a bittersweet mix of celebration and sorrow as we honor their brief lives and the joy they brought us. Though they are no longer physically with us, we carry them in our thoughts and memories. Every moment is a reminder of the love we shared and the dreams we held for them, and we strive to live in a way that keeps their memory alive, embracing the lessons they taught us about love, resilience, and the preciousness of time. We realize nothing can replace them, and there is so much love left for us to give your baby, just as we love our own. HERE FOR A MOMENT LOVED FOR A LIFETIME.

WRITTEN BY KYLIE “Zachary is truly the love of my life. The thought he puts into the people he loves is more than admirable. Whether it be surprise flowers after work or planning trips and date nights, he is always thinking of others. In the years we’ve been together, I’ve seen him blossom into what I believe will be a wonderful father and protector of our children. It warms my heart to see him with our niece, nephew, and even our pets. He is patient, dependable, protective, honest, and loves to use humor in all aspects of life. I see him being the kind of father who is hands-on, and always open to learning with his child as they grow together. For years he has made the sacrifice to serve our country, and I know he will be more than happy to serve as a father and family man for the years to come. Zachary is so deserving of the love a child could bring our family. I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH HIM BECOME A FATHER”

I’m Zachary, born and raised in California with my brother and sister, along with my parents. Shortly after graduating high school, I enlisted in active duty military, and that’s been my life for the last six years. My career has taken me all over the world, from Qatar to California, Japan, and now Montana. Outside of the military, I have a variety of hobbies, including fitness, video games, hiking, and grilling on the smoker. I love spending my weekends grilling delicious food and relaxing with good movies and great company. Some of my favorite memories have been created on vacations with my wife. Whether exploring new cultures or simply enjoying time together in beautiful places, those trips have deepened our relationship and filled our lives with joy. Each adventure has brought us closer, allowing us to share laughter, discover hidden gems, and see the world together.

WRITTEN BY ZACHARY “Kylie is the most beautiful, amazing, and selfless person I have the privilege to spend my life with. She always puts those she cares about at the top of her priorities to make them feel special. While I was deployed, she would decorate the boxes with the holidays or include cute little notes. She continues to do that even for other people's birthdays back home; it helps make it a little more personal and thought out, and you can feel the love. Kylie will be a wonderful mother to your child because she loves helping children day in and day out. Her past jobs have been specifically to help kids and take care of them. She has sacrificed a lot to support me while I have been in the military. Now it’s her turn to make our dream of having a child call her momma come true! SHE WILL BE A WONDERFUL MOTHER!”

Hi Mama! I’m Kylie! I was born and raised in California with my mom, dad, and brother. Both my brother and I are adopted, and that experience, along with the diversity it brought, has shaped who I am. I truly believe that love makes a family, and that has been a guiding principle in my life as an adoptee. Some of my favorite hobbies include photography, travel, cooking, and baking. I love experimenting in the kitchen and trying new recipes from different cultures and cuisines. When I’m not baking, you can usually find me lost in the pages of a good book or planning my next travel adventure. I’m passionate about my work as a pediatric medical assistant to help children and their families feel better. On my ideal day off, I enjoy watching movies and spending quality time with my husband and our pets. Your child will add such a light into our lives as we grow as both a couple and as individuals. KYLIE’S FAVORITES - FOOD: homemade sourdough bread, and Mexican - HOBBIES: baking, reading, gardening, crafting, and traveling to new places. - COLLECTABLES: polaroid photos! (current collection dating back to 2016) - MOVIE OR TV SHOWS: Grown-ups and Gilmore Girls

We love to explore the outdoors! Whether it be camping, hiking, going on daily walks, or exploring a new area. When we’re not outside we love to curl up on the couch together and watch movies, and TV shows. We both enjoy reading and usually end our days in bed with a good book. Nothing is more fun than the company and comfort we find in each other.
