30 Years with the Noble Family!Location: Milpitas, CADW [25]: Alayja Laurin (Reynolds) Noble – wavy, black hair & hazel eyes; Yoga Instructor
DH [25]: Kevin Riley Noble – curly, brown hair & green eyes; EMT

----------
YEAR 1: Location: Spain Alayja & Kevin move to Spain after they fall in love with it on their honeymoon in Europe. YEAR 2: The couple tries for a baby, but don’t get pregnant.
YEAR 3: The Nobles travel back to California to attend Alayja’s Reynolds Family reunion. Alayja also begins a new job within her career field, shifting from just yoga instruction to personal fitness training. YEAR 4: DD [nb] Honora Jaida Noble – wavy, brown hair & green eyes
It’s a girl! Honora Jaida‘s name honors Kevin’s Irish heritage and family, while still being easy for people to pronounce in their adopted country of Spain. Nora was Kevin’s grandmother (they’re not sure if they’ll call her Nora or the more modern Honor for short yet) and Jaida after Alayja’s twin sister. YEAR 5: Alayja thought she was pregnant again, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
YEAR 6: Kevin got a promotion after completing further training and now works as a Paramedic.
YEAR 7: Alayja has embarked on a new career after volunteering to teach yoga at her daughter’s preschool and loving it. She’s now working as an assistant at the preschool part-time while studying toward an education degree.
YEAR 8: xDH [33] Kevin Riley Noble - Alayja and Kevin had been trying for another baby for a couple of years and still have had no success. Unfortunately, the stress from this contributed to their relationship breaking down slowly and they have decided to divorce.
YEAR 9: Location: Australia, DD [nb] Ashlyn Zara Noble – curly, black hair & brown eyes - Following a nostalgic evening the ex-couple spent together, Alayja discovers that she’s pregnant. She and Kevin are considering getting back together. In the meantime, they decide to move together to Australia where Kevin had applied for–and was offered–a job. Shortly after they arrive, their second baby girl also arrives, Ashlyn Zara! They chose a name that again would reflect Irish heritage and fit in in their current home country.

Year 1 DW: Karlyn Letitia Johnson (28) - (straight blonde hair, green eyes) - Social Media Customer Care Associate
DH: Ricardo "Ricky" Jorge Manuel Rios (31) - (straight black hair, brown eyes) - Personal Trainer --> High School Soccer CoachDS: Theo Ulysses Rios (0) - (wavy blonde hair, brown eyes)Rio Rancho, NM --> Petaluma, CAKarlyn and Ricky met through Karlyn's college bestie, Sarah Henry, who grew up neighbors with Ricky. They originally started off as a friends with benefits situation, since both had just gotten out of serious relationships when they first met. After about a year of that, Ricky admitted that he'd fallen for Karlyn and admitted the same. Two and a half years of dating later, Ricky proposed, Karlyn said yes, they moved in together, and they had their wedding three months later. Immediately after moving in together, they started trying for a baby. Finding out they were pregnant shortly after, they chose to move the wedding up so that Karlyn could still fit in the dress she wanted. About five months after the wedding, Karlyn went into labor, giving birth to their first child, a little boy. Once Theo was born, Ricky got hired on as the new soccer coach in his hometown of Petaluma, California. It meant moving, bht Karlyn was excited to be closer to Ricky's family since she wasn't close to hers and he was close to his. She figured it would be nice to be close to at least one side of the family, especially now with a baby of their own. ***Year 2DW: Karlyn Letitia Johnson (29) - (straight blonde hair, green eyes) - Social Media Customer Care Associate
