I've Been Tagged!

Okay, so I'll admit, i wasn't sure what I supposed to do when I saw on my daughter's blog that she tagged me. So, she filled me in. I guess you are supposed to to the 6th folder in your picture file and choose the 6th picture in it and then tag 6 other people. So here is my picture!!! Josh is wearing Alex's Scout uniform! (and I couldn't figure out how to rotate the photo - what a loser)

So I tag Kaylene, Kim, Liz, Nicole, Rhonda & Jodi

Blogging Handicapped!

Okay, I admitting it! I am totally handicapped when it comes to my blog. I have suspected it all along, but this morning it has been confirmed! I was checking out several friends blogs, and when doing so was greeted by music - their favorite music! I told myslef - "Ginny, you can do that to your blog - try it". So...I tried...searched...read...failed! It has confirmed what I already knew but was afraid to admit - only those under 30 can figure these things out. Not those of us who went to high school before the invention of the personal computer or the internet! I give up...for now...I will probably have to get Alex to help me (Ben could probably even figure it out)! Oh, by the way....how do you put a custom background in there? Can't figure out how to do anything but use the template! I know....loooossser!

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!
