Welcome to my Blog!

Hi Everyone!
I'm tying to keep up with the times. I thought this would be a great way to keep our friends and family up to speed with all that is going on in our crazy family. That is why I named our blog the Alviso Zoo! Dave and I are still just trying to keep up with everyone's activities.

Michelle and Andy are young, cute, and in love. What more could anyone ask for. They are busy with school and work. They are anxiously waiting for warmer weather in Idaho. They are having fun adjusting to married life. Michelle loves being married and fixing up their apartment and cooking and baking.

Alex is busy as usual with Seminary, school, swimming, Tae Kwon Do and church activities. He had his first swim meet of the season last week, and started off pretty well. His times have dropped significantly since last year. He is working with his Tae Kwon Do Master, Andy Carmona on his 3rd degree black belt.

Abby is our adorable little social butterfly. She has tons of friends and loves them all. She is finishing up her 8th grade year. She is babysitting a lot and is in very high demand.

Ben is loving 4th grade and being a cub scout. He is such a sweet, even tempered kid - what a joy. He loves spending time with his dad and big brother Alex.

Joshua is keeping my busier than ever. I've never had a 3 1/2 year old quite like him - which I think comes from being around teenagers so much - they are his best friends.

David is now teaching adult school one night a week on top of his job at the prison. I am busy with my callings as a Webelo Leader and Stake Camp Director. I am also the Secretary of the Redwood Aquatics Boosters which is getting busy again with the start of swim season. I love being at the pool though - it's such a great group of kids and parents that I get to work with.

I hope to update my blog weekly and I am trying to figure out how to add pictures! I'll probably have to ask the kids!
