After graduating college, Joey & Cat were married April 23, 2005 in Napa Valley and made their home in Visalia, California. Cat was a beautiful person who had an infectious smile that would light up the room. She loved having fun, smiling and laughing. She was a girls, girl and had a love for everything pink. But above all, she was the most loving and caring mom to her two precious children Colton and Tinsley. Colton loved the way his Mommy would scratch his back while singing him "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Old McDonald had a Farm". He especially loved when she would make the chicken cluck. Tinsley shares her Mommy's love for everything pink and loved when her Mommy would paint her finger and toenails. She loved coloring with her Mommy and was always willing to try anything newjust because her mommy was having it. Cat's dance skills are something her family and friends will always remember her for. Especially her rendition of the Rodger Rabbit. She took her love for dancing and passed it along to her children through daily dance parties. Cat's favorite place to visit was OFRC in Guerneville, California where her Grandparents lived. She grew up spending her summers at the "river" and she loved sharing her special place with her kids.
