Summer Thus Far...

Well here's a quick recap on the Garcia'a family happenings for summer 2010.. I did make a blog before summer started of what I  thought the boys had in mind.. Hey what do I know?! Marc figured out he didnt want to waste his whole summer working and Justin wanting to spend it training and playing football...
Soooo let's see...

Marc- He mainly "chilled out" for most of the summer... He went to Ohio for a week this summer. He's been wanting to visit there ever since we left so I am glad he finally had the chance..  I think Marc figured out that Texas "AINT" all that bad! He did finally manage to get a summer job.. Not sure if it was due to all the nagging, and nagging some more that I wouldn't be giving him gas money, but nevertheless he is out the door for a few hours a day doing something productive....He is still doing his MMA (mixed martial arts) which is good if you don't ask for details! I keep asking myself why did I ever pay to let him do this dangerous sport?! Who enjoys being punched until you see stars? Not me!
He's still pursuing Texas State, UTSA, and a few other local colleges. He is still considering UT.. which is good. Hey its top 10 for business schools in the U.S.

Justin-
He really did want to work at Schlitterbahn this summer but it just didnt pan out.. They finally call him when he is getting ready to take off for a 2 week vacation with his best friend! He had a wonderful time being away but was eager to come home and get to training.. He has some goals in mind I guess- to get big and buff and ready for the 2010 high school football year. Justin did a week at the University of Texas football camp and really enjoyed it. He most enjoyed the positive feedback he received from the coaches.. Now whether he goes to UT or not I know these camps have really helped my son grow as an athlete. He tells me so.
The other night we were talking about college and his possibilities.. He is going to explore other options besides UT.. I mean wherever he can pay football is where I think he will go.. He expressed to me in our little chat that U of H (University of Houston) is a big option for him.. and then majoring in Sports Medicine.. I have no doubt that "Jittle" as everyone calls him around here will go into something sports related..  He has a true passion for sports..

Little Ricky-
He started out his summer with attending an acting camp.. The theme was Harry Met Percy (Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson) Ricky landed the role of Harry Potter and did and awesome job! I am still working on uploading those videos..
He took off to Aunt Meli, Uncle Kevin and Cousin Henry the first week of July.. For a good while his highlight was seeing "Lil Henry." He loved seeing him at the Easter party and couldn't wait to see him again.. Ricky said he was the most fun baby to be around and "He was such a happy baby" So yeah Ameli and Kevin- I'll still come sit for you guys if you want to get away for the weekend.  Anyways.. Ricky came back from that trip and immediately headed off to his YMCA camp for two weeks.. He insisted on going two weeks.. He was having and awesome time there until one week and one day into the camp the dining hall burned to the ground :((( He only had 4 days left to go! While it was a sad way to end the camp I got to see my boy a lil early.. We missed each other soooooo much!!

We did have our family reunion just a few short weeks ago.. OMG it was the hottest it has been in all the summers in our attendance at Lake Murray.. I guess we forgot to put in our order of the breeze! Everyone missed Ricky and his dancing/Michael Jackson moves. He is sure a good source of entertainment! No doubt it will be there next year and if not it may be a sign to change our reunions to the a cooler time of the year.. Maybe fall?

Thats's about it for now.. I will update you all if anything exciting occurs in our life.. well anything that is worth sharing.. Love to all!
