About Our Family

This is the patriarch and matriarch of our family. Mark and Betsy met each other in college in Ohio. They have now been happily married for 27 years! Mark enjoys cars, trains, flying planes, playing with his tractors, missions, reformed theology, Creation science, and being the Daddy of our family! Betsy enjoys writing, reading, cross-stitching, homemaking and home arts, extending hospitality, supporting Mark’s interests, and homeschooling their four youngest children. Both Mark and Betsy are enjoying their new life in the countryside of Oklahoma.
Bianca is the oldest of five siblings and is pursuing a bachelor’s degree through College Plus and Thomas Edison State University. When she is not busy with school or working as a pharmacy technician, she enjoys reading, experimenting with healthy recipes in the kitchen, listening to podcasts, working out, listening to music, and being the errand girl in the family! J She feels called to the foreign missions field and has raised funds to see an orphanage built in Haiti (see the “Orphanage Project” page for more details.) She has a very outgoing personality and loves to be around people.
Benjamin is next in the family line-up. He is about to graduate from High School, and is working part time at a local hardware store. He stays busy with school and working around the house. When he has free time he loves mowing our 10 acres, running, lifting weights, cooking (without a recipe!), reading anything and everything about history, playing drums on the Praise team, studying politics, and learning about his new role as an Advocare Distributor. Ben has a big servant’s heart and enjoys serving his family and others.
Rubia and Roma are twins, but Ruby is older by a few minutes! Ruby is in High School and is quite a young lady. She loves anything related to animals (especially horses and dogs) and therefore loves walking our dog and playing with the pets. She loves writing, reading, cooking and helping in the kitchen, playing her guitar, babysitting, shooting with pistols, and much more! Ruby is great with little children!
Roma helps our family stay sane! J She too has become quite the young lady along with her twin sister. Roma enjoys playing piano, babysitting, photography (especially nature pictures), graphic design, playing with and loving on her “baby” Zack (one of our cats), making the rest of us laugh, running, baking, and drawing. She is very outgoing and funny! Little children are very drawn to Roma!
Josiah is the youngest of our family. He is in elementary school and loves to learn! In his free time he enjoys playing outside, building with Legos, listening to audio stories, playing basketball, practicing Tae Kwon Do, inventing in the kitchen, taking videos and pictures with his iPod, and fiddling around on the piano and drums. He hopes to shoot a rattlesnake with one of his guns someday. J Josiah is very outgoing and loves to talk and explain things!
