Who We Are

Who are we?  Well, that is a big questions but we will do our best to answer it.

 

Ken and I have been married since December 9th, 2020.  We met while I was cleaning at his place of business.  He asked me to clean at his home and we have been inseparable since.  When you know, you just know!  He is an amazing man and an incredible husband and father.

We are a team!  What I lack, he has in spades and vice versa.  We combined our families and have a total of 33 immediate family members.  We have 9 children between us (all 9 have significant others) and an additional 15 grandchildren, we are beyond blessed.  We have this wonderful circus and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ken and I scuba dive and I just completed my Dive Master certification.  We have purchased a condo in Puerto Morelos, MX and will be spending some time there, enjoying the diving and beautiful weather.  With a circus as big as ours, we felt that having a getaway place for everyone to enjoy would be beneficial to all.  We both love to camp but with age have realized that we no longer enjoy sleeping on the ground, so our camping now consists of an RV or Hotel.  We love the beach, watching movies, and working on the house we are remodeling.  We enjoy the times with our large family and try to get together often for cookouts.  We have 2 Bernedoodles, Finn and Jack.  Finn is our "suit", he sits proper and doesn't have much time for nonsense but is fun and a lover.  Jack is our "stoner", he sits sideways and is always a goof.  Funny that Jack is learning tricks faster than Finn.  Pure chaos around the house even with just us 4 home.

I am into everything art.  I of course am obsessed with acrylic pouring.  I love the movement, the emotions, and the random outcomes.  I also have been working on a costume jewelry tree of life that is going to be the death of me, but I'm so far into it I have to finish.  I'm confident it will be amazing.  We recently poured our kitchen countertop with epoxy and are in love with them.  While there are some minor flaws, we feel that they are perfect for our home.

Our mission statement is based on the business, but if I had to write a family missions statement it would go something like this:

As parents to 18 and grandparents to 15, our mission is to love each and every one of them for who they are.  We commit to loving fierce, promoting self-expression, pushing each one to find their individual success, laughing and being as silly as possible.  We strive to be leaders in our family and set a high standard of kindness.

Thank you so much for being a part of our family, we wish you the best and would love to hear from you.

 

With all our love,

 

Ken and Kat
