Happy July 4th. Grandma, Grandpa, and David came to visit. We are happy they are able to visit as often as they do. We had fun with the fireworks. We had to work on July 4th so we celebrated (on a very small scale) the day before.
Jade has started face painting on the side for a little extra cash. She is quite good and she loves it.
We went to the lake for a family day of fun. It wasn’t sunny and there weren’t many people around. We had the lake to ourselves. It was a lot of fun. There were fish in the lake and they like the colors on Alisha’s swimsuit and kept biting her. Jeo and the boys were trying to cash them using Alisha as bate.
Emilio started working at Burger King. He loves it there. He started when they were finished building it. We were proud to visit him and say hi. It did not take him long before he was helping and training the new employees. Diego started a new job as well. He started working at On the Border. He is helping the servers by serving the chips and salsa. We went to see him in action. He enjoys himself and the workers there.
We started another school year. The school is going to take more breaks throughout the year and keep the summer shorter. We will miss the noise and chaos. This will be Jade’s last year in elementary as she is in 6th grade. Demario is starting junior high in 7th and Emilio is halfway finished with high school and starting 11th. Diego is taking college courses at the community college using the scholarship he earned.
