Meet our Kids

Coyer James is eleven years old and is our oldest son. He made us parents when we adopted him at nine months of age from Texas. He was our easiest baby, as he was sleeping through the night from day one. He’s a lover of animals and wants to be an “animal rescuer” some-day. He is gifted with a talent of drumming and will turn anything into a drumstick. One of his favorite things to do is put together a band with his siblings and lead worship after we do family devotions. He is compassionate, loves serving, and is always looking for ways to make us laugh. His heart for Jesus is what we are most proud of and we know God has big plans for him.
Oaklin Jude is eleven years old and joined our family when he was eight years old from Minnesota. He was originally born in Ethiopia and was adopted by another family at the age of two. The first few months were a transition for our entire family, but it was beautiful to see the Lord work in his life and bring the JOY out of him. He loves laughter, reading, and spending time outside on his bike. Someday he wants to be a pilot and fly passenger planes, which doesn’t surprise us because he is obsessed with airplanes. He loves reading his Bible and is so proud of his biblical knowledge. He lights up every time we ask him a question. We know that God is already working in his little heart preparing him for something more. He has an amazing story to share and we are honored to be able to raise him, love him and encourage him in who he is.
Kedren John is ten years old and is the spitting image of his father. He is our most spontaneous, outgoing, and adventurous child who has no fear, which keeps us on our toes. He has a sensitive heart and is our biggest snuggler. He loves science experiments, sports and technology. He craves one on one time with us, trying new things, and loves date nights with mom. If his brothers dare him to do something, he will, with a BIG smile on his face. He’s always asking if he can help Daddy at work and some day wants to take over his job as the Technical Director of our church. We have no doubt that he will chase his dreams and we will be his biggest cheerleaders!
​Baylic Nicole is seven years old and is our only daughter, born three years after her big brother. She may be very outnumbered by boys but still is the center of attention in our home. She’s a girl through and through and knows how to keep up with the big boys. We often joke that she will be protected for life and her future boyfriend better watch out! She loves purple, music, baking, art and playing games. She’s always begging to go on adventures as a family and it doesn’t take much for her to convince her Daddy of anything with her baby blue eyes. She’s mommy’s best friend and sidekick for life.  We know she will be an amazing mommy someday as she’s always taking care of those around her!
Daeston Job is five years old. He has everyone wrapped around his finger. He was adopted at 12 days old from North Carolina and has brought pure joy into our family from the moment we laid eyes on him. He was born with music in his veins and his favorite thing to do is sing out to worship music. He often can be found with a guitar in his hand and super hero cape around his neck. He has the biggest smile that makes everyone around him also smile. We know that will take him places. Without a doubt, we know that he was born to share his story and his contagious joy is what will impact the lives of others.
Attwood Daniel is 1 year old, and is the center of attention in the family.  His big brothers and sister adore him and it's rare you will ever see him sitting alone.  He looks identical to his big brother Kedren, and Kedren is pretty proud of that.  He has been the most content, easy-going toddler and makes six kids feel like a breeze.  He loves to take bathes, be outside, sing along to songs, dance, vacuum, and watch the family chaos around him.
