Hoping to Adopt Again

Levi and I have always wanted a big family. I am the kind of person who enjoys being busy. I also love a good challenge. So with that in mind we have decide to start the adoption proses again. It can be a long and emotional proses, but we both feel like it is time to add someone else into our home. Please look us over and if you can help our family grow please contact us.

Our 2nd Blessing

Kasen came into our home early in 2010. He was a bit of a surprise but was very easy to love. His smile lights up a room and his laugh make every one smile. Kasen came to us through another Angel. She has a strong and loving spirit and wanted the best for her little one. We feel very blessed that she chose us. I am at ah sometimes that we have been chosen to raise two beautiful little ones.

Kasen came with a lot a hair and personality. Kasen has two favorite people in the whole world: Mommy and Braden. Braden is his favorite person to play with Mommy is his favorite person to be with. Kasen loves Mommy, Braden, Cheerios, Daddy and playing out side, not completely in the order. Playing on the grass out side always makes him smile, when he was really little I had to pry grass out of his hands to stop him from eating it.

Kasen is a great little brother. He loves to follow Braden around. I have found Braden and Kasen sitting on the floor in their room just laughing and making a beautiful mess. Braden and Kasen are the best of friends. I could not ask for better boys.

Levi, Stefanie, Braden, and Kasen

Us

Thank you for giving us a chance to introduce ourselves to you. We cannot imagine what you are going through. We all have trials and struggles in our life, some of us more than others. We have learned to trust in the Lord and His plans for us. We pray that you will also trust in the Lord to find the peace you need in your own life. We have wanted children in our home for a long time. Both of us have always wanted a house full of kids. Know that any child that comes into our home will be blessed with love and devotion. Your child will not forget you. The child will know you and learn to love you just as you love it. We will also love you for what you are doing for us or any other family.

Adoption is a miracle in its self. It blesses so many lives, the adoptive family, the birth-parent and most importantly the child. We have been blessed by two miracles and are hoping and praying that we will get another Miracle.

Some of the things we love doing together is traveling. We love to go new and different places. We spend a great deal of time in the summer going camping, fishing, playing in water, and spending time at BBQ’s. In the winter we like to go to game nights at my parents; and when we find time, tubing in the snow. We like being active and most of all spending time as a family. We are excited to take our family on trips and doing fun things with them.

We also have small poodle named Molly that we spend time with. She has a lot of energy and loves to play. She is really good with children. Stefanie even took Molly to her 1^st grade class so she could play with the kids, she had a great time.

We pray that you will find strength in the decision that you make. We pray for you and the family that you will choose for your child, even if it is not us. May you have the courage and strength to do what you feel is right and we pray that Heavenly Father will guide you at this hard time in your life.

Stefanie

A little about Stefanie by Levi

Stefanie has three other siblings, a younger sister, an older brother and a twin brother. Stefanie is very close to her mother and enjoys talking on the phone with her. She grew up going camping with her family and particularly loves going to Weber Canyon to go tubing down what I call an “icy river.” Stefanie likes to go on walks down to the park and spend time with people she loves. She also likes to read, watch movies, and do ceramics and work with the children in our neighborhood.

Stefanie got an Associates degree in general education. She them continued to go to school to get a Bachelors of Education. I far as I know she has always wanted to be a teacher and I think she is a very good teacher. She has started to get her masters degree so that she can teach gifted and talented students. She is always taking classes to increase her education and be a better teacher.

Stefanie is a stay at home mom now and loves that even more than teaching.

Stefanie is the reason I get up in the morning. I want to be able to take care of her for the rest of my life. I love seeing her smile. I love spending time with her. She is the one pushing me and also cheering me on. She is my world.
I have fallen more in love with Stefanie since we got Braden just seeing some of the mother’s instincts and care that I have noticed with Stefanie. I am so grateful for Braden and Kasen in our lives. Even when they screams in my ear, wakes up at two in the morning, and when I have to change the dirtiest diapers that I have ever had to change I love every bit of it and I feel very blessed by God that we have this opportunity to take care of the cutest children in the world.

Levi

A little about Levi by Stefanie

Levi is the oldest of four children and the only boy. He grew up going camping, fishing, and biking every summer and spending the holidays with his family. Now he spends a great deal of time with his parents and sisters. All of his sisters are married and one has a little boy. Levi and I still live close to his parents and we see them and spend time with them a great deal. We spend every other Sunday eating dinner, playing games, talking and having fun. Levi went on a mission to London England and he hopes to take his children there someday, to introduce them to the members and see all of the sights. He met several good missionaries there and still keeps in contact with them.

Levi has worked hard to get an education. He has an Associate of Science in general education, a degree in Radiology and Bachelors in Nuclear Medicine. He hopes to one day to go back to school to advance his education. He graduated from school with high honors and was on the deans list every semester. I cannot say he likes school but he loves learning and doing his best.

Levi is a hard worker and enjoys what he does. He works in nuclear medicine, and Radiology taking X-rays and CT’s. He love working in medicine and comes home every day excited to tell me all about it.

Levi is everything to me. Without him I do not know were I would be today. I never believed in “Prince Charming,” until I met Levi. He has made me laugh, held me when I cried and taken care of me when I was sick. Without him my life would not be complete.

Our First Blessing

Braden is our first blessing. Braden was born in the summer of 2008 and has been our joy and our life ever since. He came into our life though an angel. She will forever be our Angel and we pray for her every day. Braden is our joy and happiness. I love to spend my days with him, teaching, playing and enjoying him. Children are the greatest blessing and joy in the world.

He makes us laugh every day and is always smiling. He loves music, books, Daddy, Mommy, and Elmo, not in that order, I think Elmo comes first. He does not like Peas, a stuffed monkey that make funny sounds, having things taken away and when Daddy leave for work. He loves playing with other children. He also loves babies and has tried to feed his toy Elmo a baby bottle once, milk was everywhere.

Braden is the best big brother. He loves to play, wrestle, cuddle and run around with his little brother. He shares most of his toys and love helping "take care" of little brother. When Braden first became a big brother he was a little nervous but once Kasen started smiling and watching him the boys became best friends.
