During Spring Break the grandparents took the boys away on a mini vacay to Joshua Tree to hike and to do "manly" things. That meant that Beach Bunny got spoiled with two-on-one attention for a few days. We took her to the Santa Barbara Zoo, which is one of my favorite places- and it's right next to the beach. It was such a beautiful day!
One of my favorite memories from the day was laughing at Bunny when she was completely and totally convinced that a black drainage pipe near the elephant exhibit was a giant snake that was going to bite her leg. There was no convincing her otherwise. Another one of my favorite memories was having a giraffe eat right out of my hand! I used my mad giraffe-calling skills, and over he came! Its long, purple tongue felt like sand paper. It was so cool! I totally want a giraffe now. I wonder if our home owner's association would notice?

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
