Our Family

Ohhh our family, is it ok to say we have the best family members ever??!! We are very blessed to have such wonderful family and we so enjoy spending time with them. Since Tux is adopted, and it is an open adoption and we have an outstanding relationship with his birth family, in Tux’s own words “Wow I have lots of Grandma’s and Grandpa’s!” We are so fortunate to have such a strong support group we call our family. Tom’s parents recently moved from Montana to Arizona, we love to fly down to AZ to spend time with them and explore Arizona. Sonya’s Dad passed away in 2018, and after his passing her mother moved from the ranch into Rapid City to live. She is very present in all of our lives and she often comes out to the ranch to visit and help us with our garden we love the fresh yummy vegetables and the family time we spend gardening. Sonya has one brother. Tom has two brothers and a sister. We love getting together for holidays, birthdays and vacations. Thanksgiving and Christmas are very special to us, Sonya loves cooking and baking huge meals for large gatherings, it is always such warm special times. Sonya also loves spending time cooking and baking with Tux, there isn’t anything they won’t make together, Tux helps with literally everything: there may be an extra broken egg, or some flour sifted where it doesn’t need sifted…. But the awesome memories in the kitchen are made and the smile of accomplishment on his face when he tastes the food he helped make, is priceless!
