Family
This
is my family. My husband,
Chad
, works at First Bank & Trust giving people money who would
like to start a business.  I
have two boys. I can't believe how fast they have grown up. Tate just
turned 18 years old and will be a senior at BHS.
He likes to play basketball, play video games, and go fishing. This
summer took the ACT test and had senior pictures taken!!! Now he just
needs to decide on a school to attend next year.
Trent just turned 14 and will be in the 8th Grade. He likes
to play all sports, but especially basketball like his brother. He
also likes to play video games, and hang out with friends. He would
really like to get his license to drive, but we are making him take
Driver's Ed first.
Both boys would really like to get a puppy!
Our
whole family loves the North Carolina Tar Heels, SDSU Jackrabbits, and
of course the Brookings Bobcats! If you go to a SDSU Men's or
Woman's Basketball game you will see Trent on the court as the ball boy!

Hobbies
I have a lot of hobbies, but usually not enough time to enjoy them all.
I like to garden, read, play tennis, and fish in the summer. In
the winter we spend a lot of time in the gym
attending Jackrabbit and Bobcat basketball
games. Other things I like
to do are cook (especially baking cookies), and go for walks.
