The Crazy Garcia House: July 2009

I haven't kept up with this blog since May so I suppose I should update on the happenings in this crazy house! Since I last updated.. let's see..
The swine flu touched down here in our small city.. We made national news! hahaha.. The boys were out of school for almost two weeks. Ricardo went to Korea in May. I am hoping I can accompany him on one of his future visits there.
Ricardo and I went to a wine festival in Austin, which unfortunately got rained out. We had a great evening together anwyays, finding a new favorite restaurant.
The boys got out of school the first week of June. Justin and Ricky headed off to their camps; Justin to the University of Texas football camp and Ricky to Camp Cullen for a week. Marc had baseball all week.
I had the privilege to head off for almost two weeks to spend time with some wonderful friends and family. My sister got married June 22nd, part of my reason to travel. The wedding was beautiful! It was small and sweet just as her and Ryon wished. I am really happy for the two of them! I wish them both lots of happiness to last a lifetime. Maryann is expecting in December. Pretty exciting! I got to meet my little niece Abby, Steven and Anne's daughter. She's a real cuite and resembles Steven alot!
Ricardo celebrated his 36th bday.. What an old man! hahaha..
We've had lots of baseball games throughout the summer so far. Justin and Ricky had all-stars. Marc's league lasts throughout the summer. He plays on two teams right now so that keeps him busy. He starts back to work next week.
Big news- Marc got his licence on Wednesday. Ricardo was out of town so Marc happily took the truck cruising around town. We are car shopping this weekend.. Fun! Not sure exactly if this will be a car for Ricardo or Marc. He really wanted the truck- as it has the nice rims that he really likes.. We'll see..
Baby news- yep gotta add that in somwewhere. Adoption is still HEAVY on my mind as some of you know. I am still holding out some hope that god might bring a little princess into our lives.. This year would be nice! I am trying not to let it consume my thoughts, but that's hard to do sometimes.
more baby news- Ricardo's sister Ameli is nearing the end of her pregnancy. Little Henry Jackson will be here the beginning of August. We are all excited for her and Kevin. I believe they both will be awesome parents!
Ricardo and I took Ricky to the circus recently. It was the first time for Ricky and he's 10. Bad parents we are! LOL.. Every kid should go once in their life.
Summer trip- I am trying to come up with a little summer trip for the five of us. Thinking either the beach for a week- that would mean a road trip to maybe South Padre, Destin,Florida, or maybe Disney World. Of course I am looking into Mexico as the flights are very affordable right now.. We'll see! Need to make a decision quick as I am looking at the end of July/ first of August to travel.
My family reunion is quickly approaching. We are headed to OK next weekend. Looking for a good time at Lake Murray. That's about it for now. Hope you all are enjoying your summer! Pics will follow...
