SUMMER FUN

Time has been flying since I posted last! Our summer has been fun and full, and now a little quiet since the older kids have gone back to AL.

We were fortunate enough to get to see Devvin, Adiyana, and Abrielle for 2 weeks this summer. It was short but it was better than no time at all. The two weeks was great, busy, and full of laughter and fun. I know that Nikolas and Kaden miss them so much right now.

I should fill some of you in on the Cruz Family craziness :). While at Nikolas' 3 year doctor appointment, we were referred to ENT (Ears, nose, and throat) to check why he is snoring. After an x-ray, it was discovered that his adenoids are enlarged and blocking his ability to breath. He is now getting those removed at the end of June. I'm a little freaked out but I know that it will be much better when he can breath better and hopefully sleep and eat better as well.

Along with that, Kaden has a problem with ear infections. We go back to the doctor in August to check his ears again and if they aren't cleared, he will be referred to ENT as well. Once there, they will determine if the placing of tubes is necessary. I will keep you all informed with all of this as the time goes on.

Duane is training for the Tough Mudder here in Seattle in September. I should say he is training when he isn't injuring his back. :) Either way, I'm proud of him and can't wait for September to go and take pictures of him and his team to accomplish this.

The older kids, we just found out, are moving to TX. We don't know the whole story as of yet, but we are trying to get them up here instead. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed for us on that one. It would be a wonderful blessing if we could spend some extra time with the kids and see them in their activities and school.

Now, on to me. I broke my foot about 5 years ago and have been having issues with it again for the last year. I have been in and out of a boot with no results. I'm not currently in a boot and using a bone stimulator to try and heal the old fracture. The bone stimulator sends ultra-sound waves to the bone (or something like that). I will know more at the beginning of August about how my progress is.

So, since i obviously don't have enough on my plate right now, I decided to put Kaden in underwear today. I had a late start so he wasn't in them until the afternoon time but so far he is loving it. I'm going to bribe him with lots and lots of M&M's and hope for the best :). I'm tired of changing diapers and paying for them.

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. I will add a few pictures really quick so I have been horrible with that as well.

Love to all!!
