Our trip back to Oklahoma went great. It was uneventful as far as the suburban was concerned. We had a great time visiting with everyone. We had the chance to go and visit my grandma in Bonham where the boys were able to do some fishing with my Uncle Gary. We took them garage selling and to Trades Day. They each had a dollar and in the first few minutes of Trades Day had already spent it. The boys had lots of fun with their cousins and spent most of their time playing in the water, since it was so hot there. They were not ready to come home, but... all good things must come to an end.
The day after I got back my suburban broke down on us! I couldn't believe it. I was so thankful that it waited until my trip was over. It turned out to be the fuel pump, which is what happened with our other one. We are two for two now and doubt that our next vehicle will be a suburban.
My brother rode back with us and spent the next week with us. His girlfriend, who lives a few hours away, came up too. We had a great time. We hung out, went to the movies and went to Manitou Springs for the day. The boys really enjoyed having Matt around. He is like a big kid. He took Dylan for rides on the 4 wheeler anytime he asked. Once Dylan fell asleep on it, but of course woke right up when it stopped.
I decided to do some painting inside the house. I painted our room and then did an accent wall in the dining room. It turned out really good. Mike said he wasn't helping at all, which was fine. I only needed him to help move furniture anyway! He has spent a lot of time working out on the '56 wagon. He just about has it ready for sandblasting. I can tell he is getting very excited about it. Every weekend he goes out and takes pictures of the progress!
Last Friday, Mike and I had a date night. We went out to dinner with some friends and walked around downtown. We were going to go see the new Bourne movie, with Matt Damon, but it was all sold out. So we just came home. It was still nice because it was just Mike and I at the house, which hardly ever happens. On Saturday we went and picked the boys up around noon and took Tracy's kids for a while.
Mike left yesterday for San Jose California. He comes back tomorrow evening, so not too long of a trip.
I started back to watching Tracy's kids today. I can't believe the summer is over!! Where did it go? Kristian starts back to school on Monday. He had to go get two shots yesterday and did just fine. His arms are a little sore today, but not too bad. He now weighs 95 lbs and is half an inch away from being 5 foot! 5 more inches away from being as tall as I am! Yikes!
The pictures are of the rooms I painted. I had pictures of our trip home, but for some reason they aren't on my card. I figure Mike unloaded them somewhere on my computer to make room for his car pictures. I will find out and add them later.
Have a great week!
