Summer Nights

Celebrating Baby Owen

Baby Owen

Yes, Baby Owen! That is what we are calling our new cousin. We're not really sure why we've been calling him Baby Owen instead of Baby Jeremy, maybe 'cause it's easier to say. Maybe 'cause it sounds cool. Either way, we are just happy he is finally home!! Grandma Mae took off this week so she could take care of us while Grandma Rosa was on her vacation. I guess the baby knew that she was going to be off and decided to come early. He came over to play with us this afternoon. Well, not really play, but hang out with us. Daniel's sister Rachel is in town all week, too to help out. Don't ask Alex about Rachel. You know how he gets when there is a pretty girl around him?? He won't talk or even look at Rachel. He's such a player. Anyway, here are a few more pictures of our new buddy. There are also some pictures of us in the waiting room. We were waiting for him to finish his lunch so we could go in to see him. We were just being silly. More updates soon!!! Love you all!!

The Circle of Life

We were witnesses to the circle of life this week. On Tuesday, Mom found out that her Tio Dan had passed away suddenly. They still don't know what happened, all we know is that we will not see him in this lifetime again. We all knew Tio Dan 'cause after he had heart surgery last year, he stayed with Grandma Rosa and Grandpa Marin while he got better. We still remember him sitting in the rocking chair in the living room with us watching Dora the Explorer, Spongebob and anything else we wanted to watch. He was a good guy and we will miss him. We were sad to say goodbye Friday at his funeral. His life on Earth has ended. But guess what??? Today, the day right after the funeral, we are celebrating a new life. Our baby cousin Jeremy Owen Floyd was born today at 2:01pm. Boy is he a good looking baby!!! Mom's tears of sadness are now tears of joy. Mom said that the best part of Jeremy being born was that for once, she wasn't the one having the baby. Hee hee hee! We are sooo excited to have a new baby cousin in our family and can't wait for him to come home. We have so many baseball games to play and soo many footballs to throw. You can see more pictures of Jeremy by clicking on the link below/right "Daniel & Christina".

We pray that Tio Dan is resting in Heaven with God and fixing any electrical problems they may have. We pray in thankgiving for the newest member of our family. God is good.

Gonzales Gang on the Go

The Boys are Back in Town

Yep, we're back in town from a great week of baseball. Dad was brave enough to jump in the car with the three of us and drive us to Dallas to see the Rangers. We went to three games all against the Angels. Dad bought us each a shirt with our favorite players names and numbers on the back. We also got Adri a pink Ranger shirt with Kinsler's name and number on it. We got to see one of the best Ranger games ever the second night we were there. If you were watching Rangers Live after the game you probably saw us. We stayed to celebrate with the rest of the fans. Dad lifted us up so we could be on TV. Mom, Adri, Grandpa Severo, Grandma Mae and JRod were all watching and got to see us. We even have it recorded. It was fun!! We got to take a picture with David Murphy on the third night and he signed a baseball for each of us. We also had a great time at the Dallas Zoo and the Grapevine Mills Mall. We had no idea that there was a skate park inside the mall or we would have brought our skateboards. It was really cool. We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe - that was pretty cool, too. The only bad thing was that we only got to swim once 'cause we were so busy the rest of the time. As much as we missed Mom and Adri, we really enjoyed our Boys only trip. Mom's going to post a slideshow with more pictures from our trip so you can see what a great time we had. Dad is already talking about going back to a game before the summer is over - this time I guess we will take the girls. Hope you're enjoying your summer 'cause it's almost over. Till our next post!! Bye!

July Fun!!

July Already

Wow!! Can you believe it's July already?? August will be here before we know it and Matt and Zach will be starting school again. We haven't updated since Father's Day. Not too much happening since then. We finished up baseball season and are enjoying the break before Matt starts Fall Ball on the 26th. The Boys will be taking their baseball vacation this week starting Tuesday. We are going to three games - Rangers vs. Angels. Mom had to stay behind since her boss is out of town. But we're sure her and Adri will have lots of fun by themselves.

Yesterday was July 4th. We didn't make it to the parade because we overslept, but we weren't too upset about it. We went to Grama and Grampa's house and Mom grilled. Later in the evening we went to our cousin's house. Our Tio Marin grilled some food and Tia Georgia made a brisket. We had fun hanging out with our primos and bouncin' on the trampoline. Once the sun went down, we headed downtown to watch the fireworks. Since Dad had to go to work at 5:30am the next morning we popped our fireworks in our backyard. Shhhhhh! Don't tell the cops. It was a great day!!

Today we spent a lot of time with our friends Jaden and Megan. They will be leaving to California on Tuesday, their Dad got a job in Modesto. We are going to miss them a whole bunch!! Alex asked if Megan will still be his girlfriend... don't know why not. Anyway, we had a blast with them - starting at Legacy Play Village, ice cream at McDonald's and hanging out on the playground at Matt's school. We included some pictures of our day with our friends.

Hope you are enjoying your summer! We sure are!!! Have fun!!
