Family history
Ethan and Casey were childhood sweethearts. They first met at a school dance in 7th Grade in Denton, Texas, and married at the age of 23 at Grace Temple Baptist Church in Denton, on June 19, 1999. Ethan owns the remodelling company Eliot J Construction and attended Executive MBA program by Baylor University, graduating in May 2010. Since 2005, the couple has lived in the Steiner Ranch community of Texas. Their desire to start a family was impeded by infertility. It was discovered Ethan suffered an extremely low sperm count. They turned to fertility treatments, using a sperm donor along with intrauterine insemination (IUI). Their first daughter Eliot McKenna was born on July 14, 2004.
A different sperm donor was used when the couple decided to conceive a younger sibling for Eliot. Casey underwent IUI for the second time in July 2008. In August 2008, they discovered they were expecting higher order multiples (originally six fetuses were present; one failed to develop). The couple refused selective reduction. The quintuplets were born on January 16, 2009 at Seton Medical Center in Austin, Texas: Brooklyn Faith, Britton Grace, Jack William, Lila Addison and Ryan Elizabeth. Over 25 physicians, nurses, and technicians were present for the birth.
