Visitors!

This past Thursday my sister, her boyfriend Rob, and her son Trevin came to visit us in Texas.  Well actually not just us, Rob's parents live here in Fort Worth too so they were doing double duty:)  We had a great time.
I am slowly feeling better so the timing was perfect.  Had she came early last week her visit would have been a bust (see my blog post titled "Concussion 101" if you are in the dark here:)
I am still getting headaches and fatigue but I am MUCH better and was very happy to get to do some stuff while everyone was in town.
We did so much I don't even know where to start:/

We ate alot, alot of Mexican food actually, so besides the fact that everyone was getting sick of it after 4 days it was really good:)  You can't go wrong with chips and salsa!
Sunday after all of us went to church we headed to the Ballpark in Arlington to get a tour of the stadium.  Rob is a big baseball fan so Greg wanted to culture him a bit with the best team...the Rangers:)  hehe!
The tour was fun and our tour guide was a hoot!  She was probably 100 years old (give or take;) and she was all about the rules.  Which is funny because little did she know that one of the guys she was guiding had sneaked into Fenway Park in Boston, Mass (Greg:)  (That's another story for another day but lets just say I was super scared we would get caught!  We didn't!! We got down to the field!  Ha!  It was super cool:) )
We also went to our local waterpark for the day on Monday.  We got there at 9:45am and everyone but me:( made it until 5pm---that's a long day to be outside in 102 degree weather!)  Everyone had a blast though!
I had to leave about 2:30 because I was getting sick/headache being in the hot weather that long--boo!
Thanks Chris for letting the kids stay with you!
Today we went roller skating and everyone did great...thankfully:)
We had a few issues but once everyone got the right skates on and got the hang of skating we had a jolly ole time.   I love skating.  No, I did not fall and hit my head.  Probably not the best thing to do with the concussion and all but you gotta live a little right? :/ I don't fall when I skate anyway...:) promise!
tonight we made ice cream in a bag...it was a bust but it was fun;)
We all enjoyed a bag of cold soup...ha!

our sweet little tour guide...what a hoot!

where the magic happens!

Rangers batting cages.

The most tacky Rangers shirt I have ever seen!  Guess who wanted one?  Yep, Reese did...he's got issues;)

The kids recently started taking Karate and Trevin joined in on one of their classes while he was here

Craft time with Greg.  Here they are taking an old TV apart...the kids LOVED it! Now we have a bunch of little TV parts all over the house.... awesome;)

*if you look closely you can see that my "boo-boo" is getting better! (right above my right eyebrow)  Last night I took the bandage off and was shocked to see how much it had already healed!  So glad!

me and my sister....so what do you think, do we look alike?  Everyone always thought I was adopted:/

We rock:)

crazy eyes Reese...ha!

me and Rob tearing it up!

happy boys (if they weren't falling:/)

looks like Greg & the tour guide hit it off, I bet the two of them together were hilarious.

that skating rink is where our church used to meet, nothing beats the smell of sweaty feet and Communion Sunday :)
