The Boys Sing "In The Garden"

That's My favorite Hymnal song when I first got saved and I heard this song where it says ,"and He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am his own". WOW What Love from someone Who knew who I was still He Died for me.

4Th of July was terrible this year @ the beginning of the night it was bad. It got better @ the end of the night. I had the day off that day it was pretty cool, because I rarely have days off to sleep in late. Well 8 AM is late I guess. I took the boys to buy fireworks I had johnny all week I want to thank my wife for taking care of him while I was @ work. Before church I was sitting on my couch when Bro J called & said He was early to church he got his times mixed up he got there @ 6 pm & church was @ 7 pm he lost that hour of his life poor Bro J. We were having a fellowship after church it is what Baptist really know what to do fellowship & EAT. Church was over but the rain was coming down, & I had to put the GAS pit which belongs to the Preacher under his carport. Well everything that could go wrong did but I didn't get mad OK maybe a little. The GAS grill had a low flame like if it was out of gas, but it wasn't so the grill didn't work. Then Sis Kim said I have a George Foreman grill we can use, because we were making burgers, hot dogs, chicken breast as my Bro John would say Hooters Baby, and some fajitas that Sis Sharon brought so I could make. Well the Foreman grill wouldn't turn on it was not working so she & my wife just decide to grill them on pans they came out good anyway. They boiled the hot dogs & grilled the chicken I brought and I gave back the fajitas cause I couldn't grill them. I send My bro in law to buy some self ignite charcoal but he brought regular charcoal with no lighter fluid. So forget that people started leaving because it was still raining. Bro J bailed on me too way to go man leave a bro hanging. He said he was going somewhere where the pit worked. When the people ate they left and of course it was just us and the preacher left behind with our families oh and Dale & his family stayed we had a blast though popping fireworks. We ended up leaving church about 11:30 pm still had to go drop of my nephew Toby then to the house I had to work the next day. Before J left I was telling him a story about fire, buy the way he is terrified of lighting what is it with these Yanez that they are scaredy cats j said at least I ain't afraid of roaches or tarantulas something like that WHATEVER do you mean J. We used to live out in the country when i was younger we were poor folk you here. We had an outhouse yuk and when we would throw the trash we would throw it in a big hole in the ground that my dad and uncles dug up the it would get filled and they would cover It up and dig another one. This is where I got started to make fire, because if you threw the trash you had to burn it. I would play with fire and gasoline not a good combination. The fire was going I poured out a bowl of Gasoline on it as i leaned forward to look into the hole where the fire was at my eyebrows were gone my forehead looked like I had been scalped. I started crying like a baby jumping around went inside to tell my mom first she spanked me of course for playing with gas. then she put manteca all over my face. Manteca is Lard for those that don't speak in Spanish. Thank the Lord I was not seriously burned. I hate to say it , but I got burned maybe 3 or 4 more times in my life burning trash. One time my cousin Javy was outside during a cookout and he had a cup of gas. He was dipping a stick into it and burning the tip my uncle saw him but didn't say anything(they were all drinking). He did this for a while until he dipped his stick in the gas, but his stick was still on fire my cuz was like 7 or 8 I was about 11 or 12 @ the time, we looked @ each in shock not knowing what to do. Yes he did he kicked the cup over and we had fire it was dark but it looked like day @ that moment. My Dad & uncles freaked out jumping everywhere thought something had exploded, they ran got the water hose and didn't work duh they started covering it with dirt that put it out my Cousin got beat I ran inside and felt sleepy all of a sudden. My uncle told my dad it was Javy if not I would have gotten A beating also. I also burned down the woods in back of my Grandma's house but I will tell you that story next time. Laters

Another Friday Night

Here is Mike with his motorcycle on another Friday night at my moms house. Man he has a motorcycle My wife or the LAW will not let me have one. She is a dream stealer from that commercial fromYamaha where it says don't let anyone steal your dream. I guess it is for the best.

Whats the weight Limit?

Whats the weight limit on these things? This in Louisiana at the Kart Ranch when we get to visit our friends. It's pretty fun they have bumper boats, miniature golf and batting cages. It's like a tradition or something to go there when we go up there. Me and David get on one car and my friend John get on the pink car it's funny but it was the fastest car out there. Notice we are in the fatty cars not the singles like the ones on the top left of the picture. John would ask for the extension on the seat belt he said he had to much junk in the hood that is why the seat belt wouldn't fit. "Man we had a time", to quote Bro Randy Sutherland. Laters

WOW

That's my boy LOL. My other son Mike came home from practice and left his bat bag in the living room so then David decides to put on Mikes equipment. His Batting shoes were to big for him his batting gloves were also to big for him. Then he tries on Mikes cup WOW he put it on sideways it was so funny my wife grabbed the camera and snapped some photos. And there you have it folks the story behind this picture. I showed it off at work emailed it to friends and family everyone got a kick out of it. This is one of those pictures you show his girlfriend.

Friday Nights

Friday nights have become a routine get together for us all. For me and my 3 sisters and younger brother Manny he is the one sitting one the Avalanche. David, Johnny, Nathaniel,Neivea, and Mike. My Boys really enjoy Friday nights @ grandpa's house. We eat of course a home cooked meal prepared by my mom. We bring drinks and ice can't forget the ice. My sister either help prepare or buy the food and bring dessert. We catch up on talking since we really don't see each other much or talk in between the week. Sometimes I may go about 3 weeks or a month without seeing them but lately is has been every Friday. We just talk and crack up laughing at stupid stuff. If we start seeing a movie we will leave after the movie if I have to work Saturday we will leave earlier. Good times. I have recently been talking to my dad about Jesus he has a lot of questions I just pray I can answer them so far I can. But he wont get saved he has not trusted Jesus as his Savior. He says he is not ready but I told him you never know when God is coming for you so you have to be ready. But he wont Just pray for him it breaks my heart knowing that my Family is on its way to a Devils Hell. They just don't want to accept but oh well I don't give up hope I will just continue praying. I tell my dad I did my job as a christian to tell him about Jesus as I am commanded to do. It was really hard to tell my dad about Christ he was my drinking buddy. Just Pray for him please.

Stuck in the mud

I had a driver get stuck @ a customers house. There was a driveway but they thought they could get closer to the house and look what happens when you don't do your job right. I had to get a wrecker out there to pull it out a big rig wrecker. This is on Dilworth st close to a friend of mines house. They had to load everything on a pick-up and haul it to the house double work.

Boys @ church

Here are the young boys of Grace Independent Baptist Church (L to R) Logan, Toby, Luke, Mike and @ the bottom David. Pray God may use all these boys for his Glory.

David Daniel Deleon #4

This is David Daniel Deleon he is the baby you got too see the baby. He is going to be 4 in august 22, 2007. He is now going to start t-ball that will be exciting. He is going to throw his fits i know but what can you do BEAT HIM. Nah just keep him in line I think I have the patience he gets his temper from his mama j/k. I think he gets it from me really bad. He was a blessing from the Lord Me and my wife were trying to have more children after Mike, but the Lord had other plans my wife had a couple of miscarriages. I tried not to get me down we prayed had the whole church praying then came the Baby You got too see the Baby. That is why there is such a gap between him and Mike. Then came our friends The Yanez Family My best friend Johns wife Melinda took him in like her own David was so attached to her it was terrible on him when they moved away to follow Gods will. It broke his little heart but he has grown now he asks about her and prays for all of them he still remembers them. He will tells me,"It would be wonderful if you take me to Louisiana". He used to call it loua. Well there is a little bit of David the Baby. I pray I can raise him right just as my other boys I pray they don't depart from what I have taught them when they grow old.
