About us

 Jayson and Rachelle live just north of Austin in Cedar Park Texas with their two kids, Riley and Kaiya, as well as the additional 5 kids currently residing in Rachelle’s “tummy”.  Below is a little about what brought them to this point.  For the most current details about what is going on, see Rachelle’s blog at http://wilkinsonquints.blogspot.com.

Getting Married

Jayson and Rachelle met at Brigham Young University while Rachelle was working on a degree in Statistics and Jayson was working on a degree in Mechanical Engineering.  Jayson had grown up mainly in Colorado while Rachelle had spent her youth in a variety of places including Texas, Hawaii, and Arizona.  When they met, Rachelle was actually the Teaching Assistant in Jayson’s "Statistics for Engineers" class. 

They started dating in February 1997(during the second month of class) and were engaged two months later on the day of Rachelle's graduation.  They had a lengthy engagement of about 4 months (fairly standard for Utah) and got married on August 14th 1997 in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Graduation, Jobs, and Kids

After graduating from BYU, they moved to Austin where Jayson took a job at National Instruments as an Applications Engineer and Rachelle took a job at 3M as a Statistical Consultant.  On Father's Day in June of 2000, Riley (actually Jayson Riley) was born. Rachelle left 3M to stay home with Riley and occasionally teach Statistics classes at night at Austin Community College.  Then about three years later, in March of 2003, Kaiya was born. 

Jayson still works at National Instruments but in multimedia production and Rachelle is still teaching Statistics at ACC…well, at least for the next few weeks. 

Riley is now 6 1/2 and Kaiya is 4 and they are really excited about the babies. Riley is in the first grade and loves to draw, do origami and go to gymnastics. Kaiya is taking a tap and ballet class and very much enjoys it. She is very smart and is always trying to keep up with her older brother.

5 Babies?

This is a story longer than what we have room for here so I suggest going to Rachelle’s blog (here) to read it because it gives the details and is actually pretty interesting.
