Kallunki Family: Tuscon

Tuscon

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to travel to Tuscon and see our nephew, Goose, play baseball for the Utah Valley University Wolverines.

It was a lot of fun to get to see him play! The kids even had him sign one of the foul balls that they got. Lol...

Joaquin, Goose and Detroit

Goose

Joaquin was busy playing on the bleachers as we watched and as I turned to see what he was doing, this scene caught my eye. It seemed appropriate since we live in Roswell, and I love the way Joaquin set him up.

Later on, I glanced over and noticed Joaquin had lined up all of his toys on the numbers along the bleacher. It reminded me so much of when Detroit was little and would always line up her plastic Care Bears by color.

Pretty pleased with himself...

Like father like daughter...
A little lull in the game, and they are both busy reading the newspaper. (And apparently Jared is cramming a large handful of popcorn into his mouth!)

Jared and his brother Josh were really excited when we found their Grandma's old house. Jared hadn't seen it since about 1984 and was pretty impressed that Josh was able to find it.

(I am sure the owners wondered why we were posing and taking pictures outside of their house...LOL!)

Jared and Tiesha have been married for 17 1/2 wonderful years. Jared thinks Tiesha is awesome and incredibly funny. They have three great kids and live in ROSWELL, New Mexico.

Jared has opened his own law practice (Kallunki Law, P.C.), and is extremely busy!!! He does a little bit of everything, but mostly family law and criminal law. Tiesha is a Reading Coach at Washington Avenue Elementary and gets to work with the K-3 teachers and students. She loves her job! In her few moments of spare time, she is a Jazzercise instructor. She spends her spare time thinking about updating her family blog and looking at her poster of Edward (it never gets old!).

Detroit is ELEVEN years old, and getting ready to finish the fifth grade. She still loves to read more than anything. She also enjoys tuning out her parents and her brother when she reads. She is a great big sister, and loves teaching Joaquin how to howl, growl and snarl. She is especially good at making Joaquin laugh and smile, and sometimes she will even let him hold her toys. She enjoys playing basketball and soccer and going to Girl Scouts. Detroit has a very kind heart, and lots of great friends. She is still obsessed with animals and enjoys pretending to be a dog (or a wolf, or a coyote).

We found Lunchie while living in Tuscaloosa. She was a kitten trapped in a deep window well on the University of Alabama campus. I brought her home and Detroit (who was then 3) named her. She is a wonderful, but weird, kitty. Lucky for her that she has nine lives since she has already used some of them (head stuck in between chair slats, jumping on the stove while it was on, getting stuck in a room for four days with no food or water, leaping off a second story balcony and hitting tile, eating lots of fake plants until they all created a giant plastic ball in her tummy...), but she seems to be learning her lesson. (We hope.) Her favorite thing to do is follow Tiesha around the house, and flop on the floor the second Tiesha looks at her.
