about us
SO NICE TO MEET YOU!
HERE'S A TIDBIT ABOUT OUR STORY:
Justyn & I met, January 2013. We began dating months later. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology, Justyn received his associate degree in science at BYU-H. After we got engaged, Justyn & I decided to record our lives to show our children one day. With them in our lives our company became Them [our Children] Plus [everything in between] Us [their awesome Parents -lol].
We continue to reach for our goal[s] & although it has been chaotic, the experience has been a blessing. We are grateful every day that we decided to create something beautiful from the ground up for our ohana. We’re also grateful to the TPU Tribe for being a big part of our journey & for showing us love. As our little family continues to grow we hope our business will too.
​
As always, Hustle hard, stay consistent & keep the positive vibes up!​
Justyn
Kia Ora TPU Tribe! My name is Justyn. My favorite blessings call me Daddy. I also go by Brown Honey or Papi by wifey. I love to travel and immerse myself into other cultures and languages. I currently speak 5 languages & counting. Do curse words count? Anyway...
Born and raised in Laie, Hawaii. I always knew I'd marry a Jennifer. Could have gone pro, at least that's what I keep telling everyone. On my spare time I do like to dabble in structuring my economic state of affairs, reading, about 20 minutes of video games (cue Wifey's eyes rolling), and spending most of my free time with my Mini Me's.
I've been told I have a monotone voice, I've even on occasion (once or twice) put adults with whom I'd be conversing with to sleep. It has yet to work on my children though. This is why I am obviously one of, if not thee MOST fun one in our family's YouTube Channel.
I too have a creative spirit which includes videography, photography and an entrepreneurial soul. My Wife & Kids are my muse that pushes me to work smarter. With our powers combined we are The JK Fami... oops I mean the Them Plus Us Ohana.
I've got a few projects I'm working on and cannot wait to share it with the TPU Tribe. So stay-tuned for what's to come...
Jennifer
Hola TPU Tribe! My name is Jennifer, most people call me Jen but my three (& counting) greatest blessings call me Mommy. My Love calls me, hon. I love letting all my energy out by either being creative, dancing, giving my full attention to my kids, exercising, playing a sport., or going on an adventure. When I want to just relax and be calm, I read, play solitaire or do a little Yoga of some sort.
I also love seeing people fulfill their passions. Currently I am passionate about working on our family website, organizing (Home Edit style) and editing our videos creatively. I also enjoy capturing moments of my family through the Camera lens'. I'm also a huge fan of eating out, sleeping, hugging/kissing my bebes, and binge-watching shows/sagas.
I went to the Art Institute of San Francisco, CA for 1 year and changed my major from fashion to business. I got my bachelor's degree in psychology, in pursuit of receiving my master's in industrial psychology. Eventually I hope to intertwine fashion and creativity into our business.
Being creative pours out of me the most when I am passionate about something which a plethora of DIY projects and other creative outlets like this website and soon-to-be family shop will outstandingly appear from time-to-time. So stay-tuned for what we have in-store for Them + Us.
Kataryna
Aloha! My name is Kataryna. My younger brother, Klaus calls me Nyna, my parents call me Katya but most times they call me baby or sweetie, some of my cousins call me Yna and my Nanny calls me Besito which means little kiss in Spanish. I love posing for pictures. My mommy and daddy think it's so cute that I love taking pictures and they take full advantage of that fact.
I also love to sing & dance. My mommy and daddy really enjoy watching me dance. They've enrolled me into a Polynesian dance class and are really excited to see me perform. They plan to enroll me in a variety of dance classes in the future and I'm SO excited. I also love to learn. Since I was two, I could write some letters. Now I know how to write my name. I enjoy coloring, painting and playing with my siblings almost every day and cutting has become my second favorite activity to do although my mommy doesn't like the mess I make.
I like meeting new people and making new friends, but I especially LOVE my cousins. I love new adventures, makeup, the sand on the beach and sometimes the water but you'll find me more at pools than the ocean.
Mommy and Daddy think they're the entertainers on our YouTube Channel but if I make an appearance, I know I will steal the show, because I'm cute, creative, fun and a good girl. My Mommy and Daddy work hard so my brothers & I can have a happy childhood.
Nyklaus
Hi! My name is Nyklaus but everyone calls me Klausie or Nyk for short. I love cars and the outdoors. You'll usually catch me outside of my house playing with ride-on cars or shooting some hoops with my Daddy. My uncle says I have a good arm for football or baseball and I agree. I love to try all foods but only swallow the ones I like. My mommy and daddy appreciate that I at least try different foods.
I also love to kiss my baby brother. My mommy and daddy let me carry him some times but if it were up to me I would carry him all the time. Like my eldest sister, I too love to dance but sports and cars are my passion. My parents have enrolled me in a homeschool program and so far it's not my favorite but I'm coming around to it.
I'm very loving to everyone I know. I love to hug and kiss my mommy, daddy, siblings, grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins. Everyone thinks it's so cute but I'm actually trying to bribe them with affection and between us, it's working.
Like my big sissy, if I make an appearance on our YouTube channel I too will steal the spotlight from our parents. I'd be the funny, outgoing, quick learning, courage's one. My siblings and I are very lucky because our mommy and daddy tell us every day that they love us and we love them too.
Marcellus
Goo-goo Ga (cue smile)! My name is Marcellus, my mommy and daddy call me Celly-boy. My brother calls me Baby and my sister calls me Celly. I LOVE my family.
I also LOVE Mommy's chichi (breast), it is my favorite! I don't have much experience with food but nothing beats booby milk. Mommy and I spend a lot of time together, even in the middle of the night. She wakes me up when I'm comfortably sleeping just to feed me...oh wait, it's the other way around. Sorry, NOT sorry mommy.
I have a pretty sweet life. My daily routine consists of waking-up to the faces of my family, giving them a smile, eating breakfast, having my morning poop, laughing at my siblings for getting in trouble, taking my morning nap and doing it all over again when I wake-up. Yup, life is good.
The things I enjoy right now are holding fingers, grabbing faces and bringing them close enough to my face to stare at and rolling around EVERYWHERE! Mommy, daddy and I have a favorite game, they catch me before rolling off the bed. Some times we lock eyes as I am about to roll off the bed and they run to catch me. They love it!
I'm the newest member of our family and our family YouTube Channel, since I'm the cute and chunky one I already know I'll be stealing the show. So stay-tuned to possibly seeing my adorable baby face.
Aramya
(Cue Smile), My name is Aramya but my family calls me Mya for short. Hihi, short just like me because I'm a baby. My Mommy says my short name is pronounced Mee-Yah but I don't care because I'm a baby.
My eldest sister LOVES me, she always makes me giggle, by smiling at me. She also loves to squeeze my chunky yet cute cheeks and gives me many besitos BUT not as much as my eldest brother Klausie. Oh boy!
He hugs me every 5-minutes, and he loves to scare me by jumping out of nowhere right in front of my adorable baby-face. He also picks me up when I'm being such a good girl and just lying on my bed or bouncer, which Mommy & Daddy don't like very much, but they definitely appreciate it when I'm being a fussy baby.
My other big brother Celly thinks I'm a toy, which I am NOT! That's ok though, I know he really loves me, look at me. He calls me Mya too but mostly points from a distance and says, "baby is so cute," --which is a million bazillion times true! He is no longer the newest baby in town and I'm making sure everyone in my family knows it!
Them Plus Us is my family's YouTube Channel & I may or may not be making an appearance, but I don't care because I'm a baby.
Besitos 🌿 w/ Aloha,
Them Plus Us Tribe
