About me

Occupation	Making home a place to come to
Location	Nampa, ID, United States
Introduction	We started with five then added two more and now we are a happy active bunch of seven. And then we added an exchange student...our numbers are growing and I am done counting. Our family is now complete! We love paintballing, hiking, camping and being LAZY. We like the outdoors and we are learning to fly fish. We love children (which is good since we have 5 of them). Phillip just graduated from the nursing program! He is currently working full time at the military, doing modifications on airplanes. Kortnai babysits and drives kids around and runs errands. She has started teaching guitar lessons and taken up making artisan breads. YUM! If she's lucky she may do a little house work or curl up with a good book. She makes messes with Jacob and Brittany finger painting and splashing and now cooking. What a chef they will be! It is great!!!
Interests	We love anything active. Phillip still does Kenpo (martial arts.) Phillip is a second degree brown and still loving it! He teaches a couple classes and private lessons weekly. Kortnai is busy busy busy with a slew of children...2 of them under the age of talking clearly. Then there is everyone else as well. Lance is finishing up his elementary years and looking forward to middle school. Yikes!. Rissa is in the 4th grade as is loving art and cooking. Tanner is in the 3rd grade and loves food and electronics. Jacob is a busy body and a big helper. He loves to go visit his Grandms Marcia and Grandpa Ken, and Grandma Karen, Uncle Kip, Uncle Monkey, aunt Lisa, Aunt Kelsi and all his cousins. He is such a social bug. Brittany, well, what can we say about her. She is a jumper, climber and a love all around. This year we chose to host an exchange student. Betul is from Germany and we LOVE having her. We do frisbee golf, we love to play games, hang out, watch movies, bike ride, camp, hike, rollerblade and much more!!! One of Phillip's new things is making Thia food...so if you are interested just give us a call.
Favorite Movies	Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, many of the kids movies, Paycheck, Mothman Prophecies, Harry Potter, August Rush, Ghostbusters, The Illusionist........ WE have taken up watching Outsourced and Psych. We love them!
Favorite Music	Phillip's new Fave is Nickelback...not the crude songs but Photograph, Rockstar and a few others, but we jam out to pretty much anything...Like kid tunes, Barenaked Ladies, Toby Keith, to Inside Out and Gary Allen, They Might Be Giants, Beach Boys, Chicago (the old stuff) and VeggieTales. We aren't into New Kids on the Block and N sync and those guys...
Favorite Books	Phillip likes Terry Brooks, but right now mainly reads text books and web sites. I read pretty much anything!!!! Not smutty, sexy or blah. But I have a list of good ones. I like stories of WWII.
