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.

THE DAD IS BACK!!!

He made it home about 1030 last night! YAY! We have missed him SO much! We all stayed up, watching TV (Baby Borrowers - lol), waiting on him to get home! Finally we heard the bikes! We stayed outside while him and dad unloaded and waited for stepmom to get here to pick up dad. Seems they had a fab time though they looked really ragged! I wish I'd had my camera out there for that picture! S looked WAY more ragged than my dad did! lol! My bike is home safe and sound too! ;) Can wait to see all the photos and videos - we'll get those uploaded soon! (or put on a photo site to share) Hopefully S will post his travel diary or something to share his trip experiences! Right now he's snoozing on the couch. lol! Ahhh the sweet sounds of him being home! ;)

We did get out this morning and got the letter notarized for T to take w/ him to Mexico. Sent money to mexico for Pati and Mike. And went to storage for the suitcase so T can pack - finally! It's really HOT outside too! Ugh!

Yesterday was swim team pictures btw. I did Grace's hair cute but it didn't last beyond yesterday of course. I did 2 french braids and then at the bottom I made the ends do a flip knot - only I did them backwards so the pony's are sticking up. And I sort of curled the ends some. It looks cute! Of course after pictures, after achievement days, we went back to the pool for swimming practice - the pony's didn't last AT ALL! And the braids were already starting to fall out. And by this AM - yeah, they were totalled. I already did some cute hair stuff w/ her - just getting creative on my own b/c of necessity w/ swimming and summer. But then Heidi posted a link on her blog about cute girls hair styles - which is sort of where I got the french braid one. That one had the braids come down and then pull them thru in a messy half pony (where you don't pull the ponytail all the way thru) but her hair wasn't long enough. but I saw other styles on her site that showed upside down flip knots and they were cute cute cute! I also had an idea in my head for next time and turns out - she has that one on her site too! But I'll save that one and surprise ya! I just need some cute bows and ribbons and stuff. Here's grace's braids from last night (ignore my desk - I clean it but it never stays that way! It's too small)
