Life in General

Lately life has dealt us a few blows. Some expected, some unexpected. One wonders
why? But all we can do is just pray for those that are hurting, and just move on.

CALIFORNIA 2006

well our vacation came and went in a flash it seemed.
Visiting Kim, Adaman and Ethan, flew by fast. We drove around 1200 miles once we hit our destination in California. We saw San Francisco, Bodega Bay, Monterey, Carmel area, Armstrong Forest, Napa Valley, and Russian River valley, the oceans and the humongous redwoods!!!
It was fabulous and rushed, but we squeezed a lot into a week.

Thanks so much kids for a wonderful time, Gracious hosts!!! and great navigator (ADAM!, with Kim's help, she actually does not need a GPS to get around hahhahhahah)

OUR WEEKEND WITH TYLER AND AVA

MIKEY AND RHOBIN WERE LONG OVERDUE FOR A WEEKEND AWAY FROM THE KIDS.
AND MIKEY'S SOON TO BE BIRTHDAY WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO CELEBRATE!

KURT AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH TYLER AND AVA. THOSE 2 ARE SO SMART, AND KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES..

SATURDAY, AFTER KURT GOT HOME FROM HIS MECHANIC FUN WITH EDDIE, HE TOOK US ALL FOR A WALK OVER TO JEAN AND BETTY'S (OLD FRIENDS OF HIS AND NEIGHBORS)
THEY HAVE 3 ACRES OF LUSH LANDSCAPE, PLANTS, KOI PONDS, AND THE KIDS LOVED IT
UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS GETTING DARK AND WE HAD TO GET BACK FOR PIZZA MAKING.
WE GOT BACK AND KURT AND TYLER AND AVA MADE SOME DELICIOUS PEPPERONI PIZZA.

AFTER PIZZA AND BATH CAME BEDTIME. OK I GOT THE BRILLIANT IDEA TO PUT BOTH OF THEM ON THE FUTON IN COMPUTER ROOM? WHY NOT ? RIGHT? WELLLLLLLLLLLLL LET ME TELL YOU WHY NOT. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, SMART, AND VERY TALKATIVE GRANDDAUGHTER THAT WOULD NOT LET HER BROTHER SLEEP. FINALLY AFTER 3 OR 4 TRIES OF "AVA BE QUIET"
"AVA GO TO SLEEP" "OK I AM TURNING OFF THE NIGHT LIGHT" AND TYLER NO NO I NEED LIGHT..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRANDMA DECIDED TO PUT TYLER IN THE OTHER BEDROOM.
OK .. SOUNDS EASY.. I TOOK THE NIGHT LIGHT IN THE OTHER BEDROOM PUT TYLER IN THERE, AND SITUATED HIM AND PUT AVA BACK IN THE FUTON, AND SHE WAS IN THE DARK LIKE SHE LIKES IT... SO I WENT OFF TO GO TO BED.. MYSELF... WELL ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER.
"GRANDMA AVA IS IN HERE TALKING TO ME AGAIN"... SO I TOOK HER ONE MORE TIME TO THE FUTON" AND WENT TO TAKE A SHOWER, WHEN I CAME OUT, SHE WAS IN BED WITH KURT.
HE LOOKS AT ME, LIKE OH COME ON LET HER SLEEP WITH US.... BUT I KNEW I WOULD NOT GET ANY SLEEP IF SHE SLEPT BETWEEN US... SO I TOOK HER BACK TO THE FUTON,
WELL, AFTER 2 STRIKES..SHE FINALLY SAID SHE HAD TO GO TO THE POTTY, SO WE DID THAT AND THANK GOD SHE FINALLY WENT TO SLEEP.. TOOK ME 1 1/2 HOURS TO GET HER TO BE QUIET AND SLEEP. IT SOUNDS EXHAUSTING, BUT IT WAS TOO FUNNY TO BE EXHAUSTING.
ESPECIALLY KURT'S FACE WHEN SHE WAS IN BED WITH HIM WATCHING TV.. HAHHAHAH
TOO CUTE.

THE NEXT DAY WE ALL WORKED IN THE YARD, AND HAD FUN JUST BEING AT HOME.
EXCEPT FOR KURT GETTING STUNG BY A HORNET...THAT WAS THE ONLY BAD
THING OF THE DAY..

AVA TOOK NAPS ON THE COUCH WHILE WATCHING WIZARD OF OZ, OR CARE BEARS.

TYLERS IMAGINATION IS WILD.. HE DECIDED OUR BACK YARD HAS A FREAKY FOREST IN THE BACK AND AN EVIL TREE. SO HE TOOK MIKEY BACK THERE TO SHOW HIM..
HE IS A GREAT STORY TELLER...

MIKEY AND RHOBIN SHOWED UP AND WE ALL WENT TO DINNER TOGETHER AT KATRINAS IN BULVERDE.. THAT IS ANOTHER ADVENTURE... GREAT FOOD, LOUSY SERVICE.. OH WELL
AND A BAR FIGHT IN THE BAR... (WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THE RESTAURANT, THANK GOD)
BUT KURT AND I WERE IN THERE GRABBING A BEER WHEN A GUY AND A GIRL WERE ARGUING OVER A 5 DOLLAR LOSS IN A POKER GAME... WE GOT OUT OF THERE QUICK!!
WELL IT WAS AN ADVENTURE!!

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THIS WEEKEND

AUNT GLORIA'S BIRTHDAY (93RD)

THIS PAST WEEKEND,KURT AND I TOOK A TRIP TO VISIT AUNT GLORIA IN MCALLEN. BILLY HAD PLANNED TO MEET UP WITH US AT THE BILTMORE HOME AND CELEBRATE HER 93RD BDAY. I WAS GETTING WORRIED AS 12:30 ROLLED AROUND, AND IT WAS JUST ME AND KURT THERE, BUT FINALLY BILLY AND JULIE AND KYLE SHOWED UP AND WE SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND CUT CAKE AND HAD SOME FUN.. WELL ABOUT 15 MINUTES PASSED AND WHO WALKS THRU THE DOOR, BUT NORA (WHO HAD WORKED FOR HER AND PURCHASED HER BUSINESS) AND SHE BROUGHT HER SON AND HIS FRIEND WHO PLAYED ACCORDION AND GUITAR, AND ALSO SOME OTHER FRIENDS OF MY AUNT'S. WE ENDED UP HAVING A DANCE ATHON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DINING AREA. KURT AND I DANCED BILLY AND JULIE AND EVERYBODY TWIRLED AUNT GLORIA AROUND IN HER WHEEL CHAIR. SHE LAUGHED AND SANG. AND ASKED FOR " LAS MANANITAS " OVER AND OVER. KURT AND I WERE BOTH IN TEARS, IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY FOR BOTH OF US. THANK YOU BILLY FOR YOUR
GREAT IDEA!!!! AND THANK YOU NORA AND HER FAMILY. CHRISTIAN AND ABEL PLAYED SOME WONDERFUL SONGS, THAT I AM SURE BROUGHT GOOD MEMORIES FOR AUNT GLORIA. SHE KEPT ASKING FOR MORE AND MORE... UNTIL WE HAD TO SAY OK, TIME TO GO!!!

MY AUNT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD, THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW HER BUT AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE TO GUIDE OUR FAMILY IS WHAT SHE WAS. TAUGHT ME ABOUT LOVE, AND ABOUT GIVING MOST OF ALL. SHE NEVER TIRED OF
HELPING THE POOR OR HELPING ANYBODY WHO NEEDED ASSISTANCE, AND GOD IN RETURN
GAVE HER MORE AND MORE. THE DAY SHE LEAVES THIS EARTH, IS THE DAY I WILL LOSE
PART OF MY HEART. BUT FOR NOW, WE WILL CONTINUE TO VISIT HER AND CELEBRATE
WITH HER EVERY CHANCE WE CAN.

WE LOVE YOU AUNT GLORIA
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD KEEP YOU AROUND FOR ANOTHER DECADE!!!!! OR MORE!
