This is the cute house where we live- on a historic street with friendly neighbors, a fenced backyard, 5 bedrooms, and lots of room to play and be together.
We love doing archery together, although Rob didn't prepare Lauren for breaking her first arrow.
We love to go to aquariums and zoos and to visit historical sites- we try to be local tourists wherever we live.
Building things- this is the playground Lauren designed so our son has a fun place to play during the pandemic.
We get a kick out of dressing up for Halloween, comic cons or any other excuse. Here's Rob as Poseidon for a party.
Hedgehogs are the cutest. Ours is named Stubble and here he's learning to read, of course.

Jeremy J. Evans, I am a close family friend.
" I was first introduced to this family through church interaction, but have truly come to know them through regular personal interaction. My wife and I have six children, three of which were teens when we met them. As they were asked to work with the youth at church, they became close with our oldest children and eventually just became part of our family. They are a fun, energetic, zany, happy and conscientious family that are focused on serving others in their community and building a family unit that is knit together in an educational, spiritual, and emotional bond. My family and I have enjoyed game nights, impromptu Sunday night dinners, family holiday activities, and spiritual discussions with them on a regular basis. I know them as a go-to family that will reach out to uplift others in their community, especially youth and children. They are amazing people and great friends and neighbors. "
