our thon families

Our youngest and first THON child. We paired with her years ago and have developed a long term relationship with not only her, but her sister and her family. Rylee is extremely outgoing and is involved in school sports, student government, and her school's very own MiniTHON. Rylee plans on attending college when she graduates and is looking at Pitt!

Our oldest and second THON child is determined girl who cares very much about her family's dairy business. Katie recently graduated from high school and has been officially in remission for 2 years! Katie is active in the state fair's competitions for dairy cows and in the last two years she has placed in the top 3 both times. She plans on working with her family on the farm in the future and increasing her knowledge of trade and possibly win in the next state fair!
