Baby Reagan born to Sarah and Sean

Lupe and Steve's first grandchild was born on Sunday
August 30th at 10:00 AM. Sarah's water broke Saturday
night while dining at the Olive Garden. Lupe, Joy, Seth,
and Bria were at the hospital while Steve taught Sunday
School at church. His lesson was interrupted a couple of
times with text messages from Seth giving him and the
congregation updates. Steve got to see the baby that evening
along with Lupe and now Aunt Joy.

Seth Shines on State Tests

We received the results of last Spring's state testing for Seth. He scored very high in all areas. He was advanced in Algebra, Language Arts, Science, and History. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted with the results. We were very grateful for his two eighth grade teachers who were very inspiring and encouraging.

He is now enrolled in the Lemoore Middle College taking both high school and college classes concurrently. He is very excited. A surprise to us is his enjoyment of working out at the college gym. He has set some goals for his workout. The reason that this is a surprise is the boy sits most of the day in front of a computer. He doesn't like sports but working out is an individual thing and setting his own goals fits his style.

Steve's Father's Funeral

Steve's dad died April 21, 2009 at the age of 89.

He was a veteran of World War II.

He grew up in Modesto, CA where he was also buried.

A Jack-of-all-trades he was able to do cement, electrical,

plumbing and other types of construction. He was one

of the first members of the church in Modesto and was

part of the Manteca branch. Both places now have stakes.

A memorial service was held on a Monday with the burial

and a 21 gun salute the next day at the cemetery. These

are some of Steve's relatives. He attended Mondays service

but only his wife and two daughters attended the burial.
