Byson's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Bryson!

Bryson is one of my favorite nephews. He's just like me, blunt, funny, and not shy. We had a party for him the other day and he started the party with a couple songs he likes to sing, one of them being "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho" with no shame in his game, he must be a Garza! Hope he likes his remote control car!

My dad is awesome!

I'm not sure why I am so interested in this thing called a computer, but all I know is I've had one all my life. My dad bought us the first Commador 64 in 1984 when I was only 3 years old, which got stolen very quickly there after. The next computer we got was the IBM Tandy in 1986 i believe. This computer was very expensive and sported the dual disk drive that need a 5 1/4 disk to boot and another disk to run a command prompt and another disk to run an application. Needless to say it didn't have much of a hard drive or memory for that matter. Yet this was one of the coolest things we ever had. We would WOW our guests with printed booklets and signs with their personal names on them. We had a great program called PrintShop and it gave me such pleasure to create a sign or something fun with this program and print it on our super cool printer. I remember RSVP was the coolest font that we had. Anyways I think all this computer stuff gave me a head start on the technology world. I asked my dad a couple weeks ago "How did you know to buy us computers?" He said, " well my boss told me everything was moving to computers so I decided it would get you guys ahead of the game." And indeed he was right. My brother Ben works for a great company called Pacific Northwest National Laboratories as a Computer Scientist and I work for Educational Service District 123 as the Technology Support Specialist. I wonder, what would make my kids "ahead of the game" who knows, but I hope I can get them ahead of the game like my dad did.

Thanks Dad for getting us the tools for the future. My dad is awesome, he has always been a technology buff in his own way. He had a video camera early on, he had a sweet camera, and always had the coolest toys. He now owns a nice plasma tv and now one of the lastest and greatest Iphones. We recently went to the Seattle Apple Store and he took the plunge.


























The New Macbooks were AWESOME to see!!!!!!!!!!

I am the GODFATHER!

Fidel and Marissa are both my cousins, no not because they are married, they are both my first cousins! Weird isn't it. Well its not that weird because Fidel is my cousin on my dads side and Marissa on my moms side. They have both been the bestest of friends to me since we were really really little. They have this wonderful son his name is Aiden and they blessed us with the privilege of being his God Parents. Being a "God Parent" is a privilege and a blessing because you get to embrace the child as if it was your very own, but it really isn't! Great isn't it? Well thats not the only reason, the other reason is you get to instruct this child on the ritious path to heaven. We plan to do that with Aiden. Aiden just turned one and we had an awesome birthday party at The Pizza Factory. We watched a video of him as he grew from 1 month to 12 months. Wow babies get big fast. Anyways, if Aiden ever gets to read this, Happy First Birthday from your Godfather!

MTV CRIBS

Thanks to my buddy PJ we managed to finish our master closet. It looks like something out of MTV Cribs (of course i'm going to say that, I BUILT IT). Well it's not quiet finished, but it is good for now. It only took us two weeks to finally complete it, but we got it done. Here are some pictures of it and I will try to look for the "in the process" pictures.

Catching Up!

Well lately it has been one of those times where I've been super busy at work and can't seem to find time to blog. Well I saw my wife blogging last night and I thought, she is really dedicated, maybe I should be to. I enjoy blogging and wish I could do it more often. So anyways here it goes.

The only reason I remember what i've done in the past month is due to a great invention by Apple called the Iphone. I know you guys have heard of it because if you haven't then you have been sitting under a rock. I randomly take pictures of interesting things and it helps me remember the fun times i've had. It nothing like having a camera at your fingertips all the time. Needless to say I think the Iphone is a great invention, but I'm just a geek.

To this day God has blessed me every second of every day. Thank you God! And one of the biggest blessings has been that we are having a baby!!!!!! I'm sure you all already know that but it has made me realize that God is wonderful and keeps blessing us. Here are some pictures and audio of our baby.
