Updating from Dallas

Been awhile since I have posted. The boys and I have been a little busy since my last posting on the 12th. The boys enjoyed their 5day visit from Godefrey- or Louis as we called him, who lives in France. We took him to Six Flags, the alamo, riverwalk, and of course they hung out at the house playing hours and hours of video games it seemed.
Then we went to Oklahoma for my family reunion. It was quite small this year but we made the best of it. The boys enjoyed going out on my cousins boat along with hanging out with their cousins who they only see once a year. The kids played games of tennis in the wee hours- while us adults watched them play from a distance while catching up on each others lives, and had some very interesting debates- over a few beers and other drinks of course! We all have decided to move the reunion back to Texas so we are scouting for new locations right now.
Sunday I dropped Marc off at his camp, which turned into a comedy of errors that day. I'll post about that later.
Monday we went out on Lake Grapevine on my aunt's boat with the boys and my mom. The boys had tons of fun that day and all the tubing they got to do.
Tuesday we went to Six Flags. Ricky braved it and rode all the rides/roller coasters that he was tall enough for. Didnt make it to the two really scary roller coasters. We may go back on Friday for a few hours once we pick up Marc.
Wednesday we went to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor- the waterpark. Very nice park! Lots and lots of rides. The boys had alot of fun- and had their moments too! They rode almost everything. The was a ride Ricky begged me to go on with him. Well I am now regretting it as once of the things you had to do was put your chin down when going down the first hill. Didnt do that step and I am paying the price now.. I think I got whiplash.
Today the boys want to go on my aunts boat again so we will do that around lunchtime. I will have to pass on tubing :( My neck is pretty sore..
The tile job that was started while I was in Mexico should be complete when I return home on Friday. It will be nice to get my house back in order and be able to cook real meals once again. Been eating sandwiches and fast food WAY too much since the job started. Even the boys have said they are sick of mcd's and other fast food places.
Marc is enjoying his baseball camp. I am heading out in a few minutes to catch one of his practices.
Much much more I want to post but I will save it for when I am back home this weekend. My next post will include pics. I have taken quite a few!
