Fall Activities

Just when you think fall is going to get things back to "normal" you realize that school brings all kinds of extra activities. Tia is a senior this year, involved in student leadership at school, work, play, and posing for her Senior Pictures! So far we've been out twice with one more photo shoot planned! She's quite the model!














Jeni is keeping very busy with the beginning of her high school years featuring her in the "Diamond Dancers". It involves early morning practices everyday... and I do mean early! She has performed in assemblies and half times and will have lots of competition opportunities too. She is a Beautiful performer!





One of the family traditions has been for our high school kids to have their turn at driving the Mustang... well, we're contemplating selling it before Jeni's chance, much to her dismay! Another tradition is to pose with the Mustang in their senior pictures. So just in case, Jeni's picture with the Mustang will be as a Freshman!





September not only brings the beginning of the school year routine, but our anniversary (29 years this year) and birthdays for Efrain and Misty just a few days apart. We've got so many birthdays in our family already that we have to double up our celebrations! We might have to begin a once a month birthday celebration if this keeps up!

Sundays at the Velasquez Home






We love having our kids come for Sunday dinner at our house after we've all been to church. Sometimes we celebrate birthdays, usually everyone makes it for those occasions, but we always have fun when we're together. There's nothing like seeing our grandchildren come through the door and get excited to see us! We even got a big toybox and a wonder horse! I love having the kids there telling jokes, playing games, catching up with each other what's going on in their lives, sometimes watching old home videos and laughing their heads off! I love Sundays...
