Friday night was my twelve year old’s last flag football game of the season. The afternoon before the game I decided to bake a dessert for everyone. I busted out the brownie mix and a football shaped cookie cutter. It was a simple dessert, but… it made me famous.
Famous?
Yes, famous.
Not the “your name in lights” type, but the more important kind.
I overheard my son telling the other players that I made the dessert they were enjoying. Then I’m sure I caught his smile from across the room. For some reason he felt proud. In that moment I mattered to him.
It made me feel, well… famous.

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".
