And we're off...

I guess it is time to jump on the band wagon and start the Perez family blog. Our family is Carlos, me (Tyffanie), and our children: Joseph, Jason and Elizabeth(Lizzie). We love spending time together, especially when we are out doors admiring God's beautiful world. Carlos and I met in Puerto Rico, and now live in Utah, so our little world is not so little. We absolutely cherish every family memory we've made exploring the rain forests, beaches, mountains, lakes, Old Spanish Forteleza's and spending time with our family on the tropical island of Puerto Rico. We also love our surroundings and family in Utah, the scenic mountains, valleys, forests, lakes, desserts and rock formations that beckon to people from all over the world. We have visited many National Park's and Monuments. Each time we do we agree we have to return, so rather than crossing them off of a list we add to a every growing list. When we are at home we like to watch movies together, play games, read stories, sing, dance---we don't do this enough, wrestle---well...I enjoy watching the kids wrestle with Carlos. You'll have to ask him if he enjoys it, but I know the kids do. It has been some of the simple things we have done that one of the kids will say, "Mom, this is the best day of my whole life!" I don't know any other words that make me feel so good. Maybe I'm doing Okay as a Mom. I have other days when it is a struggle, as life is with everyone. That's why I appreciate those special family moments so much, without them life wouldn't be the same, and trying so hard to do what is right would almost not be worth it. I look forward to posting more about our family and keeping you up to date on all of our adventures and milestones.

Love,
Tyffanie Perez

Now we need to get some pictures up of those fun simple almost iconic moments as a family. I know you've got some of the wrestling. How about Jason's 'best day of his life' dancing? :) I do have a couple really cute "Princess Lizzie" pictures I took today. I'll get them to you asap.

Hey Tyff, just letting you know that I tagged you. The idea is to write about 6 "quirky" things about you, then tag 6 of your friends. I'm looking forward to seeing what you put!
