Well, my computer is screwing up and that last post did not make it all the way! Grrrrrrrrr! Anyway,
Us adults enjoyed the bigger roller coasters. Tim isn't a huge fan so James and I rode some together and had a great time until James had an unfortunate accident with a toe. Without going into detail, James did not ride anymore that day, but he is fine. His toe will be fine in a couple of weeks but he is not in pain, so don't worry. He graciously watched the kids for awhile so Tim and I could ride a coaster together.
I probably had more to say, but I don't remember anymore. I'm trying to get pictures up. My computer does not want to load them but I'm still trying to check back again!

Six Flags Over Texas
Well, we just had a fabulous time yesterday at Six Flags in Arlington. James went with us and made the trip extra fun. We got up really early and got there with about an hour and a half to spare (we were the second car there!) so we hung out and walked around the outside for awhile. The kids loved the little roller coasters, although it took Bekah a few times around. The weather was perfect, cloudy and not too hot. And it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to get right up the rides without waiting most of the time.
Paul was adamant about wanting to ride the Judge Roy Scream, which is a bigger coaster. So, after we rode a few of the smaller ones, that's what we did. Paul quickly figured out that it wasn't all that he thought. The first hill was really big and Tim said his eyes were about out of his head by the time we got to the top. Bekah rode too and even though they didn't care for it, they were little troopers.
Bekah's favorite was the Wile E. Coyote coaster in the little kids section. Paul's favorite turned out to be the Mine Train, which is a more inbetween size. They also loved the teacups, the little Batman planes that went up and down while going around in a circle and the bumper cars. They were so good the whole time.

Whistling
Bekah has learned how to whistle and she is so proud of herself! It's so cute how she walks around whistling to herself. She is still trying to master snapping...we practiced that this morning.
I am really close to putting pictures up so stay tuned. I borrowed a digital camera and just need to get the software on my computer.
I've often wondered how Dana survives with five kids at the grocery store. I just took three today and I was thinking how I couldn't wait for school to start again so I can go by myself. I am weary!
Our new siding and windows are in the process of being installed, which makes for a loud day. They start at 7 am and somehow the kids sleep through the first 30 minutes or so. I was trying to read my Bible this morning but had to abandon the effort once the pounding started. But, I am grateful it is being done. We were going to paint the house ourselves but have thought better of it. Hopefully next week or the week after I can put up some pictures of our redone house. And then we start painting the inside. Woohoo!
James is here this week, attending an education conference in the area. He said the first day was good and he enjoyed it. Thursday he is going with us to Six Flags in Arlington Texas. We are excited for that fun day. Pictures, of course will be forthcoming!

Summer Has Begun!
Well, I started a post a couple days ago and never got it finished. So I will try again.
Summer is going well. We have had tons of rain, for which I praise the Lord constantly. Our area lakes were 20 to 40 feet below capacity and it was getting pretty scary. But they are now full and the fishing has been abundant, which, of course, makes Tim very happy.
We went to Lake Buchanan, about an hour north of our house, last weekend and had a wonderful time. We went looking for stripers but ended up catching white bass. The kids had a great time and each reeled in several fish. I just drive the boat and soak up sun. :) Just in case somebody hasn't heard, Tim caught a couple of lake records in Lake Travis in April. A 32 pound flathead catfish and a 43 pound blue catfish. (Just had to do a little bragging on my man!) Tim and Paul had their picture in the local paper and everything.
Paul is enjoying the time off of school. He did manage to pull off straight A's for his last report card of second grade, which is great! We are very proud of him. Bekah finished up her gymnastics class and really loved it. We'll have to try that again soon. I hope to have some pictures up soon so ya'll can see how cute she was.
We are expecting a visit from Uncle James in a couple of weeks and we look forward to that. We are trying to get down to the beach this summer so we may see him beyond that as well. Next week we start getting new windows and siding on the house, woohoo! It will be nice to have that done.
Next time I'll try for pictures! See Ya!
