Happy President's Day

The boys and I have been lucky enough to have a long weekend. There was no school on Friday, then today (Monday) is President's Day, and tomorrow is a short day (done at 11). Sadly, we haven't been able to do to much this weekend as the boys have both been sick. They are fighting a nasty cold, fever, and add to that, teething for Kaden. Thankfully Kaden has done a lot of sleeping but Nikolas hasn't slept much. I think he keeps waking up from not being able to breath (poor kiddo).

Along with having sick boys, Duane and I have made a big decision for our family. In roughly 5 months, the Cruz family will be moving to a new home in Port Orchard.

The development we will be living in is called McCormick Meadows. It is a Quadrant Home development. We start the process by picking out a lot. Since our realtor found out about this new development early enough, Duane and I were lucky enough to get the biggest lot. Usually they aren't very big lots but the one we are getting is almost exactly the same size that we have now. It's in a culdesac so the boys will be able to play without their mother freaking out all the time about cars. The fence in the background of this picture will be our fence. Obviously not the whole fence but a section of it will be. One of our neighbors will be Roxanne and Travis Bassett (our cousins). We are all very excited.

As of yesterday, we picked out our house plan that we like and now we get to start picking out everything that goes in the house to make it complete. We are hoping to "break ground" in about a month or so. Once we break ground, the house will be built in 57 working days (hoping that there are no issues that slows the process). So, mid July we should be moving into our new home. These are not the colors of our house, as we have not chosen colors yet.

We will be sure to keep everyone posted as this process get underway and complete.

Before I end this for the day, I would like to let everyone know how the boys are doing in swimming. Kaden....hmmm, how to put this...isn't a fan. HAHA!! He does not like to be held, so he screams the whole time. He would rather play in the kid pool and be able to walk and do his own thing.

Nikolas on the other hand, is doing AWESOME! I bought him some goggles a while ago and that has transformed him 100%. He will now put his head under water with no fear. He also jumps into the pool trusting that I will be there to pick him back up. Before he would only jump in if my hands were on him. Nikolas is doing so well and we are so proud of him. Duane couldn't believe how well he was doing when he saw him on Thursday. With them being as sick as they are still, we wont be going to swimming Tuesday. Hopefully we will make it on Thursday though. Only time will tell. And I would rather have them healthy, as we are going to Disney World on Sunday. :) No sick boys for that AMAZING trip!!!

Everyone have a wonderful Monday! Be ready for a lot of pictures from Disney World!
