Nathan is a little know-it-all, does extremely well in school and is finishing his sixth year playing the trumpet. He just finished his first year of high school, and he is currently tied for number one in his class. He is in the Health and Science Academy at school, and seems to thrive in it! He is about to start his second year on his high school's golf team. He loves watching sports with Dad and Grandpa, especially the Illini and St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals have been exciting and painful to watch this year, as well as Ilini basketball. Tori plays all sports she can get into. She is a chip off both her parents blocks.

She recently completed Lincol Christian College's basketball camp, and she got the award for "Miss Hustle!" She really has a nose for the ball.
