Kris is a genius computer programmer who works for SitePen.  In his spare time he likes to go rock climbing, running, back country telemark skiing,  hiking, waking boarding or do most anything that involves being outside and using energy.

Nikki is an administrator at heart who is currently in the stay at home mom phase of life. She is crazy about Toms shoes, loves to chew ice (Thanks Dad), and cook. She also enjoys most outdoor activities and watching her kids discover the beauty and power in nature.

Kris and Nikki have been married seven years. They grew up together, though were not close friends until the summer before they fell in love. Both are native to Oregon and love the beauty, wonder, and peace of the outdoors.

Jennika is a princess-knight-ballerina three year old. She loves all things pink and sparkly. She is learning how to write her letters and numbers as well as how to ski with her daddy. She is very dramatic and energetic…and still doesn’t like to sleep!

Korban is almost two years old and is the most adorable little boy on earth (sorry, but it is true). He loves to talk, especially about tractors and backhoes and dump trucks. He also loves to be outside and tries to do everything that his sister and housemates do.
