Summe TIME!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've taken the time to blog. We've just been so busy this summer. I'm truly enjoying every minute of it though. To start our summer off, Reggie and I went to Cancun, MX the day after we got out of school. My wonderful mother and her fiance, AJ, watched our two kids for the week. It was such a relaxing retreat for Reggie and I to be able to relax, unwind, and reconnect after such a hectic year. After being home 5 days, we loaded the car, packed the kids up and left for Iowa for the next 12 days. We were able to see all of Reggie's family, including his parents, two brothers, his sister, sister-in-law, two nephews, grandparents, and a few aunts and uncles and cousins. The weather was extremely hot there but we did see rain, unlike San Antonio!

Next stop....Arkansas/Oklahoma! We visited my dad and grandparents in Arkansas and went to dad's lakehouse in Oklahoma. It was a fun and packed adventure for the 4 days we were there. We went out on the pontoon boat, dad pulled us on the new tube (Me, Reggie, and the two kids!), we swam at the pool, swam in the lake, ate at the floating restaurant, played bean bags, drove up to Fayetteville one day, ate at AQ chicken house, raced down the hill on the scooters, and had a wonderful grand-o time.

Finally - HOME! The train finally pulled home Friday morning, July 3rd at 5am! We drove through the night so the kids would sleep. Reggie and I were exhausted but glad to be back home and not living out of suitcases any more.

So, I feel like our summer just began. I've been taking the kids 3 times a week to the neighborhood pool and then at least once a week to Sea World. It's just too darn hot not to be in some type of water if you're going to be outside. The kids have been having a ball. I'll try and post some pics later.
