We can’t say we have been in your shoes, but we can’t imagine how hard this process can be for you. We also want to thank you for taking the time to look at our profile and potentially considering our family for your precious gift. We are Bobby, Whitney, Braxton and Kaysen.

Family & Tradition
Family traditions play a big part of our lives. One of our big ones is Christmas. We spend the weeks before Christmas baking and decorating sugar cookies and other Christmas goodies. On Christmas Eve, we celebrate with Whitney’s Mother’s extended family. It is a large gathering that usually includes lots of food and laughs. There is a white elephant Christmas gift exchange . Then Christmas Day is spent with Bobby’s family at his Parents house. Thanksgiving is another big tradition spent with Whitney’s extended family. Then the following Saturday is spent with Bobby’s Family. Easter traditions include the typical easter egg hunt and egg dying. If the weather is nice enough, we also go to Whitney’s Aunt’s to spend time out at her pond fishing. Other smaller traditions are that every Sunday after Church we go to Whitney’s Parents house for a family dinner. Then afterwards there is either games or outside fun to be had.
We have an amazing support system. Whitney’s parents live just north of town. Whitney’s best friend is a huge part of their support system. They help each other out with all of the kids when they need to.
Living Life
Bobby enjoys fishing and hunting when he has time. He also enjoys riding his motorcycle when its nice out and he has some extra time. When he was in high school his hobbies consisted of rebuilding cars with his Dad which he hopes to be able to continue with his children.
The whole family enjoys being outdoors and loves to visit the lake or travel whenever they can. Braxton enjoys wrestling, baseball, and playing a football game called jackpot.
Whitney enjoys reading in the down time especially in the colder months. The summer consists of lots of activities to keep the kids busy. However, when she has a chance, she enjoys playing slow pitch softball for a league in our town as well as the next town over. She also enjoys exercising with her best friend and support person. She especially enjoys running and even ran in a half marathon once with her sister.
Work
Bobby works as a Diesel Mechanic. He has been with the company for 15 years now. His current position is Field Maintenance Program which means that he goes out in his company supplied truck to maintain big equipment. He has always loved working on cars and big equipment so this position not only fulfills that dream, but he also is able to make his own schedule which allows him to be home. Whitney works for a a local wedding and events venue. She works part time there and has a busy season in the spring , summer and fall. Since she works part time during the school year, she is able to attend school events as well as be around for the boys. When the boys don’t have school in the summer months, they get to go to work with her along with the owner’s daughter’s children who are 13 and 5 . During those times, they help feed the animals and help with random jobs till it’s warm enough to go up the hill to the wedding venue owner’s mother’s house to go swimming. Whitney feels blessed to work at such a family oriented job that allows her to be there for her children as well as feed her love for plants since the majority of the summer work is caring for the landscape.

Our Home
We live in a two- story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath house in a quieter neighborhood in a smaller town in central Kansas. That is just half a block away from the local hospital. Each boy has their own room, and then the extra room is in the process of being converted into a nursery for the new baby. The hospital has created a paved walking path for the public to use which the boys enjoy using their scooters on. The backyard is smaller but has been converted for the boys outdoor entertainment with the start of a tree fort as well as a trampoline. The driveway is long and sloped which has been great for the boys to roller skate on. There are houses around us, and in the surrounding blocks, that all have children for the kids to go play with. The neighborhood consists of two home daycares so most of the traffic coming down the street goes slow and watches for children.
