Our Family




Russell~AKA "Daddy."  I love Jesus!  I am a Veteran of the United States Army (Hooah!)  I am currently a full time student at Ferris State University.  I support the greatest and winningest program in college football history (The University of Michigan...GO BLUE!!!)  I tend to be a pessimist but my wife tries to chisel that out of my bones.  I love history because those who don't understand the past are doomed to repeat it.  I enjoy reading but, unlike my wife, I need something with a story.


Marlene~AKA "Mama."  I love Jesus too!  I'm a stay at home mom of three amazing children.  I homeschool them.  I love Elvis and chocolate ice cream!  I'm addicted to shopping on Amazon.com.  I'm fascinated by blogstalking my friends and neighbors.  I'm a night owl.  I say "pop" instead of "soda" (which is the correct way for your information!)  I love reading non-fiction books.  I want to better myself.  I wish I were "more crunchy." 




Luke~AKA "Number One."  Luke joined our family on May 2, 2006.  He is our natural born leader.  He loves Jesus too!  And Ninjas, Selah, Cowboys, the Army, Legos, Lego Star Wars, Dogs, Phonics and Math, and Crafts.  The End (in his own words).

Eli~AKA "Number Two."  Eli joined our family on December 29, 2007.  He is our dreamer.  He loves Jesus too!  He loves Jesus "because He's so intelligent."  He loves Music, Trains, Cuddling, Dumbo, and Animals (from Eli).

Selah~ AKA "The Baby Sister."  Selah joined our family on June 22, 2011.  She is our sweetheart girl.  She is bringing the pink back to our family.
