What is your family’s favorite activity? Our family just loves spending time together, whether that’s doing Bible time, gardening, canning, taking care of our farm chores, or being outside enjoying the country.

What is your family’s favorite season? We love Kansas because we get to experience the beauty of all of the seasons, but Spring is a favorite for all of us because everything turns green and comes back to life!

What is your family’s favorite tradition? We began “pizza picnics” on Friday nights when we started building our new home in 2021. We would order Jhetts Pizza and take it out to our land, pretending we were eating in a certain room as the house progressed. Our home has been finished for 2 years now, but we still have carried on with our pizza picnics every Friday!
