Diego turned 14 in March 2024 and had a sleepover party with a few friends.
Eli was on a school district climbing team with a few friends.
They would practice Monday nights at City Rock, a climbing gym in downtown Colorado Springs.
They also had a handful of climbing competitions on Saturdays.
Eli had a nice time and I enjoyed watching and cheering him on.
Eli got his Driver's License on April 11, 2024!
He has gone out a couple of times on his own and it is nerve wracking for me.
He had his driver's permit for a year a half and logged in over 50 hours of driving.
Cesar's sister, Lorena, died in March. She was sadly shot to death in Denver.
We attended her funeral in April. It was a nice funeral and Julia gave such a nice euology and Cesar spoke and did a great job too. There was a nice potluck lunch after the service. It was nice to see family and friends.
2023 Highlights
January:
Ruby is on the Bronze competition team at Peak Gymnastics and Fitness. She loves it and had her first competition in January. She practices Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings each week for three hours each. She is a very dedicated gymnast. I loved watching her at the competition. She won a medal for 5th place on bars and her team was 2nd all around! These are her scores: Vault- 8.825, Bars- 9.0, Beam- 9.075, and Floor- 8.85. Teresa did her hair before the competition in a very fancy braid. She has another competition coming up in February and another in March too.
We took a two night family camping trip. It was just an hour away outside of Woodland Park. We all had a pretty good time. We saw a deer, hawks, chipmunks. We walked to a lake and the water was freezing, but that didn't deter the kids from getting in. Here are a few pictures:
