Family Roster
Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service
Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at
Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas
then family moved to Houston at 18 YO.
Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical
center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln
University. Originally from Ghana,
most of his family still lives there.
Daughter:
Nina, 3 YO.
Loves ballet, PJ masks, and
playing dress up.
“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking
in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year,
we have to give him special love and attention.”
What They Love to Do
Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring
new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going
on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but
admits that she is not quite as adventurous with
bike trails as Cobby.
Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and
activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They
spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer,
whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool.
Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and
exploring new family owned restaurants. In the
past, they were more involved with the Westcreek
community garden, but haven’t been able to be
as involved this season. They hope to be able
to get more involved in the spring. As a family,
they liked learning about gardening from other
members of the community, especially since they
are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling
the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t
always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely
many other parents can relate!
Why They Love Living Here
“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths,
accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love
the diversity of the area.
In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the
community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized
our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block
had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt,
which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build
Love is in the Air
How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We
exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.”
Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant
that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going
to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is
no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at
home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie.
What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and
exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s
Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed
animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and
enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school.
