Family & Home

We currently live in Southern CA and spend many hours in our backyard playing as a family and running through our overflowing garden. We live in a beautiful family neighborhood and within walking distance to our school. Our children attend a wonderful Private Christian School in which we are very involved in. We love God, family and our friends. We demonstrate a life in which everyone feels loved and cared for. We volunteer at school, attend a local church, and are involved in many sports and activities around our neighborhood. A few including, swimming, softball, soccer, dance, gymnastics, art and piano. We are constantly visiting our local parks, stand up paddle boarding in the harbor, and meeting locals weekly. It fills our hearts to be in connection with our community. Weekend sports, swimming, trips or whatever adventure comes our way. We are actively involved in our church and serve in the youth ministry. Tim works with the children’s youth ministry and Katie works with the children’s youth ministry welcome team, welcoming new and existing families and friends.

Our family and friends hold a special place in our hearts. We have a large extended family who we enjoy spending time with at the beach, snow play, barbecuing and pretty much anything that allows us to be together. All sets of Grandparents are involved weekly with Sage, Reese and Caleb. It is so important to us that our family is involved in our daily lives. Every holiday is spent with almost ALL of our extended family. We love traditions and are constantly exploring and traveling with our loved ones. The family adventures we now take are definitely inspired by our families life experiences. We also often travel to Colorado to visit Katie’s family which involves playing in the snow, hiking and many visits to the zoo.

Our friends are just another extension of our immediate family. We are in constant contact with our friends. Always planning barbecues, pool dates, beach days, and one of our traditions is meeting our friends half way every year and spending a long weekend in Shaver Lake. We organize our activities with our friends. For example, last year on Sage’s softball team, we recruited hal of her kindergarten class and Tim was the head coach. A big part of our Summer is participating on a swim team and being involved with Junior Lifeguards, bringing our friends along and meeting new people. We truly involve our friends in every outside thing we do and we wouldn't have it any other way.
