I hope that everyone is doing well. Here is how my part of the family is doing.
Tyler—Tyler is now 5 years old. He will be going to kindergarten in the fall,
but for now is still going to preschool.
He loves wrestling, playing with his toys, and video games. He is a great brother to his little sister
and loves playing with her. He is also
just starting soccer and will be playing coach pitch baseball right after
soccer is over. Tyler got to go to
California and see Chelsea, Jason, his grandma and John. He also got to go to Disneyland and
Legoland. Life doesn’t get much better
for a five year old.
Ella—Ella is 2 years old.
She loves dancing and will dance to pretty much any kind of music. She also loves playing with her brother. She gets to participate a little in Tyler’s
gymnastics class that he goes to as a part of his school. She has become quite the little tumbler. She will talk at home all the time, but is
very shy still until she gets warmed up (then watch out). She is very independent and wants to do
everything herself with the big exception of getting potty-trained.
Jerri—Jerri is a great mom and wife for our family. She tries to make sure she that everyone is
taken care of. She has gotten into
cooking more and is always trying out new recipes with success, which is what
you say if you ever want her to cook again.
She loves taking the kids out on outside adventures when it is not
raining (which could stop any day now, by the way) or doing crafts with the
kids when we are inside. The kids love
spending time with her.
Curt—I started working for a new company in June after being
jobless for awhile. It sure wasn’t easy
out there and it was a huge relief to finally land a job. I am now working at Schnitzer Steel in the
credit department. I initially started
working 50-55 hours per week. That has
gotten much better, but I didn’t get to see my family much last summer. I got to accompany Tyler to California to see
everyone and the sites. It was so nice
to see everyone. It was an unforgettable
time and we appreciate Chelsea and Jason helping to make that happen for us. I have been listening a lot lately to the CD
that Newell made of some of my dad’s greatest hits and I must say old Kenny
Rogers doesn’t have anything on my dad on the song “Ruben James”. Thanks so much Newell for doing that. One more dad related thing here, but if you
haven’t seen his old videos on youtube you need to make sure to check that
out. I can’t wait to see everyone again,
but I am not sure when that will be so I will leave you with a story I just
couldn’t believe.
My friend told me a story about how he had just gotten a dog
from the shelter after he bought his new house.
He went to take it for a walk one day and left the dog in the garage,
while he ran back in the house to get a jacket.
He came back and saw the dog had tipped over a gas can and was licking
the gas off the floor. He ran to go
check on the dog, but the dog bolted. The
dog ran around the neighborhood, through his neighbor’s yards with my friend
chasing right behind. Finally right
before my friend caught the dog, he told me the dog just dropped. I said in shock “Did the dog die?” No he replied… he just ran out of gas.
Hopefully you haven’t heard that one.
Love
Curt, Jerri, Tyler, Ella
