Occupations: Cody works for the Post Office in Topeka as a mail carrier. He has been delivering mail for 15 years. I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool our children! This is our fourth year homeschooling, and the first year homeschooling two children.

Are you from Holton? If not, where are you from? I am not from Holton, I moved around a lot growing up, but majority of the time I lived in Topeka and Carbondale. Cody was born in Denison, and from the age 8 to adulthood, he lived in the country about 20 minutes SE of Holton. His parent’s land, where he grew up, is connected to the land we just recently finished building our home on.

What is your family’s favorite activity? We really enjoy playing board games together! We have a pretty competitive family, even our children aren’t fans of losing. Our son Ezra, will ask to play a board game everyday, and multiple times a day!

What is your family’s favorite season? I would say we enjoy all of the seasons, for the different activities they bring. Our favorite would possibly be Spring, when we leave the cold months, and are able to fish together again!

What is your family’s favorite tradition? We are not a very big tradition family, but if the kids are ready for bed at a decent time, they each pick out one book each, and Cody will read to them before heading to their bedroom. It is so special for our children, and very sweet for myself to see their faces light up as Cody gets so enthusiastic while reading to them.
