Guess Who?

I thought I would post some "older" pictures of the "familia" to see if you can figure out who they all are. There are some from Knott's Berry Farm and another at Grandpa's house. I think these are great memories! Hope you enjoy!

Dad & Sisters

On Tuesday, May 12th, Paul and Margaret Saiz came to Stockton to visit the "Girls." Ramona, Stella, Ruth and Viola all met at Ramona's house to catch up on all that has been going on in the family. Debbie and I were the chauffeurs' so we enjoyed being with all of them. Ramona then took us to a Chinese Buffet that was very, very good. Aunt Ruth and Aunt Viola REALLY enjoyed the dessert as you can tell by the pictures! (ha!) We all went on to see Aunt Viola's house. Beautiful! In addition to the beautiful house, her back yard could be in a magazine. We went back to Ramona's and spent the night and then left for Merced to take Mom and Dad to see Margaret (aka Maretts) and the grand and greatgrand babies. We had a great time!

This is a picture of (left to right) Tio George Herrera, Tia Lotte, Grandma and Abuelito, Grandma's and Tia Lotte's Father. This is one of the very few pictures I have seen of Abuelito.

The Steve Saiz Family

Ok! I will be the first to post a current family picture! This is us....Steve, Debbie, Vanessa and Steve Jr. Vanessa just turned 26 and Stevo is 21. Vanessa lives in Corona, CA and Stevo is still here at home. We live in Carson, CA and I am the pastor of Bayside Apostolic Center in Torrance, CA. Debbie and I are involved full time in the ministry of the church. Vanessa works for Mckinsey Company and Steve is employed with Western Credit Union. They are also involved in church work.

Grandma & Kids

Here is another undated picture. It is Grandma Saiz with three of the kids. Starting from the left: Ruth, Gordo and Viola. My Dad thought this was taken at the church they used to attend. If you have any more information about this picture, please comment and share with us. (click on the pic to view large format)

Grandpa and Grandma Saiz

This is a picture of Grandpa (Elojio) and Grandma (Benera) Saiz. Not sure of the date when it was taken, but it is one of the earliest pictures I have ever seen of them.

First Post

This blog will be about the different Saiz siblings and their families. Ramona Roncale, Paul Saiz, Stella Montez, Ruth Hernandez and Viola (Aguirre) Saiz. We will post different pictures of the different families and events as they become available. We encourage all family members to participate and feel free to contribute any family event you wish. My goal is to keep all the "familia" in touch with what is going on with all of us.

I recently got to spend a few days in Stockton with my aunts, Ramona, Stella, Ruth and Viola and had a great time. We went to Dave Wong's for lunch and then went back to Ramona's and reminisced about old times and I tried to catch up on all that's going on with the family.

If you have any pictures, stories or videos, please feel free to let me know and I will post them. If you would like to be "Blog" contributor and place posts about your family please email me at stvsai@aol.com or call me at 310 707-3110. Also, if you have your own family blog and would like to link it to this blog, please let me know!

I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Love you all,

Steve Saiz
