Jackie is Christine’s mama. She’s very outgoing, loud (where Christine gets it) and will share her crazy conspiracy theories with you even if you don’t ask.

DeAnn is the mama of Payton. She’s all glitz and glam but underneath all the sparkles has the kindest soul. DeAnn shaped Payton into the man he is today. Giving him the love of God and making sure he ate his peas at dinner (He does not like peas).

This goofball is the father of Christine. You’ll find him cruising around town with his kitty Tigger by his side and you’ll never catch him without a hat, it’s become a part of his personality.

Thomas is the father of Payton. He has a hard exterior but is the biggest blubbering softy you’ll ever meet. He is Payton’s biggest critic but also his biggest supporter.

Lovely Amelia is Payton’s cousin and Christine’s cleaning buddy. She is the most special goofball you’ll ever get the opportunity of knowing. Her high energy and out of pocket commentary will keep you on your toes. She is so precious and near and dear to our hearts.

Bing is Payton and Christine’s snuggly love bug that wants nothing but cuddles and maybe a treat or two.

Miso is Payton and Christine’s snuggly and reserved love bug. He is very food motivated, like wake you up screaming at 3am if he sees the bottom of the food bowl motivated, and is full of energy.

Mr. RonJon is an old crabby soul that loves butt smacks but on his own terms. You’ll find him roaming around the campground demanding pets and the campers dinner or chasing the wildlife.

Hailee is Christine’s closest friend. They have been through the best and the worst together. She has been her rock and number one supporter in life. She’s also the pretty lady behind the camera that took their engagement photos. She’s a multi talented woman with lots of love to give.

Kathleen is Christine’s closest friend. She has the purest soul and a heart of gold. You can definitely tell she’s an elementary school teacher. She puts 100 and 10% into everything she does and is 100% the reason I passed math class.

Ashlee is Christine and Payton’s friend and Payton’s best friend’s lovely girlfriend. In the short time they’ve known her she has brought nothing but good vibes and enough energy to go around the world and back. They are beyond grateful to have her around and all the fun adventures ahead.

Jessie is Christine’s sister. She’s sassy, bold and brave. She has a big personality and will be brutally honest about anything and everything, maybe a bit too honest at times. Her sense of humor is one for the books and she’s always there to give you a good laugh. She’s definitely a blonde.

Lea is Christine’s sister’s best friend. She is considered another sister as they have all watched one another grow into the beautiful women they are today. She’s a brunette but definitely a blonde at heart… or she’s spent too much time with Jessie.

Jon is Payton’s best friend. They spend most of their time fishing, hunting or occasionally stealing corn on the streets in Ferris (as pictured above). Payton spent most of his highschool years living at Jon’s house, in his own room that Jon’s mom made up for him.

Joe is Payton and Christine’s friend. He has seen every phase of Payton and Christine and has stuck by their sides through thick and thin. It’s an honor for them to call him a friend. Joe is the biggest fish nerd you’ll ever meet. You’ll find him with his dog Cole or growing lettuce, why? We’ll never know.

Griffin is Payton’s friend and the reason Payton has a gambling problem, specifically poker. Just kidding, it’s not a problem but he definitely has a knack for it now and a friend to share this passion with. Payton and Griffins friendship stemmed from wrestling during highschool and has continued ever since. Griffin is wise beyond years, has a great head on his shoulders and is not afraid to tell you how it is.

Nolan is Payton’s step brother. He’s grown up to be an amazing young man, moving out at 18, working those late nights in the office to provide for his two fluff balls Luna and Tilly (he is the best cat dad ever). You’ll rarely see him in anything other than his Detroit Lions jersey. On Wednesday’s you can catch him playing trivia at 906 and winning shirts he’ll never wear.

Holden is Payton’s cousin. Surprisingly enough these two actually like each other considering they were always squabbling with one another. When they weren’t fighting they were playing mortal combat, fishing and playing on the trampoline at their Nana’s house. If you were thinking of asking if he plays basketball, he doesn’t, you’re welcome. I know his height can be deceiving.
