BORN TO BE WILD

Funny thing about Gavin, he is not a big fan of team sports. He played soccer for a couple of years and thought it was just “OK”. We’ve tried to talk him into little league since all of his friends play, even the girls, but nope, he REALLY doesn’t want to play.

Even though we've brought the subject up several times over the past couple of years, we feel very strongly about not forcing him if it’s really not who he is but we’re on the lookout for something that will teach him the importance of being a team and how to rely on and be relied on by others.

What we are not concerned with is Gavin’s athletic ability. This kid was born to be wild and we are more than happy to involve him in the things he loves.

Whether it’s riding quads and motorcycles, surfing and boogie boarding or playing golf with dad, Gavin does pretty well.






Surfing with his bf Austin.




Biking with cousin Bradley.


Racing his buddy Jake.


Getting a little air here…..





Every fingerprint is different, every person molded from their own life experiences. Sunflowers don’t do well in the shade even though Impatiens thrive there.. Every child has different God given talents that they just naturally excel in. Find out what it is that your kids really love doing or would love to try and encourage them in that way. The world needs more athletes and artists, scientists and marine biologists (Gavin’s dream job). I love being a mom and I'm so proud of my son, whatever he dreams of being.
