WELCOME TO OUR HOLE IN THE WALL!

We're a crazy mix in this family, keeping busy and having fun! I made this blog as a way for our family and friends to keep up with us. But good luck with that cuz I'm not the best at keepin' y'all updated!

There's 5 in the family. There's Dad - he's a motorcycle buff, building his own business, making parts for bikes. Plus he works hard at a full time job too. AND being a full time dad and our chef! There's Mom (that's ME - since I do most of the blogging). I'm a nurse, I like to go on motorcycle rides to though I'm having to sell my bike (boo!) and can't ride like I used to. I LOVE to spend time with my kids and wish I could do more of it! I'm the family chauffeur most of the time and the organizer. I'm also the photographer. (not the best but I try)

The kids are: D - the oldest boy. He's a self proclaimed nerd, obsessed w/ D&D (dungeons and dragons for those "not in the know", one of the original role playing games - NOT a video game! Imagine that! lol!). He also loves video games and computer games. He hopes to design/make video games one day. Or write plays. He's a theater buff too. He's in 9th grade and does outstanding! He's got a great sense of humor too - which usually drives his nana nuts! haha! T is the middle child and other boy. He's in 7th grade. He currently plays football and is in the honor band playing trombone. He's in a magnet program at school and is doing very well in school. He's got a GREAT laugh and has this way of doing or saying things that just touch my soul or make me laugh so hard. He's terrific! The youngest is G - the only girl. She's in 3 grade (or nerd grade as D puts it). She's learning spanish and like T, does very well with it. She did swim team over the summer, and dances during the school year. She's also in choir this year and like to join in UIL and other school activities. She's very active and is always in and out of the house. She's a spiritual soul too and has been the driving force with getting me to church most of the time, or getting us to read scriptures or having FHE. She's my angel.

Games and Father's Day and Funny Faces

We like to play games in the family. We have TONS of games. Heres a pic from when we were painting bedrooms and closets and had the games all taken out of the closet. At that time we counted over 30 games. We've added several since.

Here's el Tejano child w/ a spoon in his mouth - a challenge from Would you Rather - he had to keep it in his mouth for a couple rounds. The game involves LOTS of discussion. It was VERY funny!

We got a wii recently. Here's dice man and dad boxing. D ends up being knocked out.
T took the pics so they were very dark and when corrected - they are grainy but you get the idea.

He got a fan - well, actually he's got a few. We're all big fans of his! But this was a working fan (cuz we're lazy - haha!) for the garage where it's HOT HOT HOT and he has his "office". This was a GOOD gift for him! It's also a turbo for the bike! Yeah! Dual function!
