First of all before this post really gets started, I wanted to say thank you for all the awesome insight and comments on the previous post. It’s encouraging to me to know there are others out there with a passion like mine to teach our children that character counts! That’s the truth!

Ok, now onto business…
Goofy Foot just celebrated his ninth birthday. We always give our kids the option of a present from mom and dad or a small 
I was pretty impressed with these little guys! They made it look easy, but it was seriously hard work!

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".

What a GREAT way to spend your ninth birthday!! Such fun pictures... these precious years fly by with our kids, don't they?!!
Such great pictures and I love the cake...I also love the parties where you don't have to clean your house. I know exactly what you are talking about.

What an awesome fun party. Happy Birthday to your handsome 9 Year Old! I never do parties at my house for that reason:)
I love the idea of a choice between a party or present from mom and dad...nowdays parties and presents can easily get so expensive. Your pictures are absolutely beautiful and that cake is so cute!!
What a great idea! I want to do that for my next birthday! :) I love the idea of giving a choice between a gift or a party. I am going to tuck that one away.
Your little guy is so handsome!

I LOVE rock climbing!! What an awesome party! I totally know what you are talking about with the house...We had Sophia's pink party this weekend and THAT is why I am playing catch up on blogs :) I wanted to **Clean** (like company is coming clean) but I never found the time to get more than just your normal clean.
BTW... I love the pictures, the one of the three boys looks like some professional took it! Seriously, you are killing me with cute collages, photo-shop knowledge and now excellent photography...stop making me look bad :)
