FINALLY A BLOG :) (woops let me translates in Manny smile) (:

So before I forget we went to buy you water shoes but your mom suggested we just put money in your account so you can buy them. There were super inexpensive, but the shipping was more than they are worth so we are putting $30 into your account. USE IT FOR THE WATER SHOES you need :)

Do you like the name of your website? Cute eh :)

Well I am going to basically send you what we have sent my little brother to catch you up.

Let me start by telling you that you wouldn't believe how much we miss you! Oh my gosh life is much better with you around :) But you are in the right place at the RIGHT time :) I'm proud of you (you're prob sick of hearing that!) Anyway we are doing great. Kyden is almost done teething (couldn't be happier! I miss my sleep ha) Mike finally had an MRI done and they said that he has a bulging disk. We are hoping it heals on his own. If not he will prob have to have surgery. He sees a specialist for that soon. I'm done with my bachelors degree! Yipeee! I have an interview type of thing with the principle at Kerns Jr High on Monday! I'm so nervous! I may have my first teaching position starting in August :) That would be a nice change in income! Mike and I would switch roles. He would go to school full time and be with the baby...toddler. Kyden is doing great. He knows so much, and understands most of what we say, ask, and tell him. He says please in sign language for everything :) It is so cute. The moment we get to my Dad's house he starts yelling "ampa", "ampa" until he sees my Dad. He adores him! 

Just after Mike had gotten sworn in to be a citizen. It meant a lot to us that your family was there :)

 Kyden's favorite thing to do at my Dads is watch the birds. That is also my Dad's favorite thing. I guess the grand-apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

These were more than a month ago. Kyden's 16 month appointment. We had to keep him down to a diaper so he could get his physical from Doc. He was cold and this was our solution. ha

 I just thought this was cute

Kyden spotted the balloons and that is all he cared about for the moment. 

After getting his balloon he was ready for the Firetruck. 

 This gem was just perfect timing

Mike and I took the babies (Mia and Ky) for a bike ride while we were waiting for your call on Mother's Day. It was fun. This was the best pic Mike got. haha. The babies LOVED it!

Kyden has been doing the water lessons. He finally floats on his back, but he will only do it for about 3 seconds. We will get him there though. He now sits on the edge and dives off with his hands above his head. It is so freakin cute! He likes the water but his passion now is basketball. The boy is obssessed. He watches it on TV and when we take him to his swim lessons (we have to pass the basketball courts) he just watches the people play basketball in awe. Seriously mesmerized. He cries and fights it for a bit when we pull him away to go swimming. He is definitely our son!

Mandze we love  you, and think about you EVERY single day. We pray for you every night. I hope things are going well, and that you are happy. This is such a great opportunity for you! I am making Shahny an admin for this blog so that she can add her updates as well. Fill free to add your own posts and pictures to the blog. That would be a great way for you to respond to us too.
