I am trying to blog

Well, everyone else is doing it so I supose it is time for me to try. I am very computer illiterate so this may turn out to be an absolute disaster. I don't have much to say to start, but I think I will introduce you to my family. We are the Bastidas family. There are 6 of us. Erwin, Nicole, Gabriela, Cristian, Rickey, and Jack. We live in Payson, Utah and we love it here. As a family we love to travel, watch movies, and go to motorcycle races.
Erwin, our dad, is the actual motorcycle fanatic, but we all enjoy going with him...sometimes. Erwin works at Stouffers. He works very hard and almost always signs up for overtime. He doesn't necessarily like his job, but he is willing to work hard at it because he loves our family and wants to provide us with the very best. Erwin works a swing shift. He is from Colombia and loves his country and his family there. Erwin has 2 brothers and 1 sister. Even though they live far away he is very close to them and speaks with them on the phone almost every almost everyday. He is also very close to his mom. Erwin likes soccer, motorcycle racing, and collecting things.
Nicole, or me, the mom, stays busy working for Wasatch Mental Health as a social worker by day and being a mom by night. I prefer my night job, but it doesn't pay much money, although it does pay a great deal in hugs, kisses, and I love yous. I love to walk in the evenings with the kids and the dog. I also like to watch movies and read books. Erwin often complains that I should read books that will teach me how to be rich, but I much prefer fiction. I also like to stamp homemade cards and have gotten quite good at it if I do say so myself.
Gabriela is almos 6 and just finished kindergarten. She is a very smart little girl and an excellent reader. She likes to play games, especially Killer Bunnies, to do art projects and to play with friends. Gabriela is going to start dance lessons this summer as well as swimming lessons.
Cristian just turned 2 and he is a typical 2 year old. Always getting in trouble and climbing all over everything. He likes to swing, eat, and watch movies, especially Dora or Diego movies. He is growing up so fast and is getting to be quite the talker.
Rickey is our cat. He is a good cat. He likes to be outside, even though he is an indoor cat. Gabriela picked Rickey and named him. He belonged to Gabby's first preschool teacher and when the teacher moved we let Gabby have the kitty to remember her teacher. She named him Rickey Carmichael because he has red hair, just like the motorcycle racer.
Jack is the newest addition to our family, although he isn't really new anymore. He is our dog. He is a little shitzu and he is adorable. Jack fits in well at our house. He is a very mellow dog and is great with Gabby and Cristian. We believe that Jack is the best dog in the entire world!
So, that is our family. As I get better at this whole blogging thing I will share more and more with you and keep up updated on the things that are happening in our lives.
