July 4th Week/Weekend

This past week was great! Getting settled into our new home, spending time with people we love and just taking the time to enjoy life. I have almost finished emptying boxes and getting things where I want them. The kids are loving their "own" rooms and realizing how much they love each other and the funny thing?... They miss being together in the same room. They won't say it but you can tell, they are so funny. So far they have been super sweet to one another so I hope that keeps up. They extend courtesies to one another like if one goes to get a drink they ask the other if they would like one too... just too funny. Like I said Lee Roy has been working round the clock, one of they guys at his work has been out of the country and Lee Roy has had to pick up his shifts. Great $ but I miss my Papa Bear! Thursday was Kyle's birthday and the kids got him some great gifts. Jonathon got dad a gift card to BONE DADDY'S and Ashleigh got daddy an EXXON GIFT CARD. PETRO AND FOOD great birthday gifts....TIMES R ROUGH! Thursday night the kids called up my grandmother and asked to go spend the night. Well anyone who knows my grandma, knows that all my babies have to do is call and she is as good as there. I used to be the favorite and I was my grandma's princess...everyone knows it ask my sister and my other cousins...LOL! Anyway..I have been d-throned. Now it is Ashleigh who is Queen and this girl works it! I know, I used to do the same exact thing. "Mom can I go with you?" Oh Yes sweetie...give me 30 minutes and I will be there she would say! Ash is always ready to go ... ANYWHERE! She just wants to be on the go and busy, no matter our plans or schedule, she wants to be moving. Well since the kiddos were gone and Lee Roy was working I went to hang out with my mommy :). Dad, Mommy, Tina and I watched a movie together just spent some fun family time. We watched Meet the Brown's. That movie was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!! We love Tyler Perry movies. Friday the kids were still at mom's(what we call my g-ma)so my mom, Tina and I did some shopping then to the POOL we went. We went swimming and laid out for a couple of hours. Yes we're MEXICAN but we still need some sun...my legs were as WHITE as Lee Roy's..LOL! The cool thing about us tanning is that we burn a little but it turns BROWN not orange or something un-natural like a fake bake bed or tanning sprays. I'm a little lobster right now, but in a couple of days I will be toasted and get some of my "MEXICAN" look back...LOL! later on that evening the kids came back from g-ma's and we hung out at my mom's house until about 8:30. Then Tina, Henry, Gavin (Henry's son) Ash, Jonathon and I went to see fireworks at Grapevine Lake. We parked by the Gaylord and the Great Wolf Lodge and enjoyed the fireworks over the lake.
