We are still alive!

How is it August 7th already? We have had a month of Surgery's..Braces...Birthday's....and lot's of pool time.

Hunter had his surgery on his knee...it ended up being worse than they thought when he re-injured his knee he also tore his meniscus..so he ended up having a torn ALC, torn meniscus, and then they took his hamstring. So needless to say he was in some serious pain the first few days. I wasn't sure he was gonna make it. But he pulled through...and is now doing physical therapy and walking quite well now. They say they can't clear him for any form of sports for at least 6 months. Very sad. Football has started and it's very strange not having Hunter going everyday. :(

This is what he would give me for a picture right before surgery....
But we did get these after...

Lovely huh...we are just so glad it's over and the healing has begun!


Then the same night Cooper fell in his basketball game...we had seriously just gotten home from the hospital with Hunter and had to go to ER for Cooper who had to have CAT scan and ended up having a concussion...

So then the next week my sister Rachel had to have surgery..she had a lump in her neck that ended up being Thyroid Cancer so they had to take her thyroid out. It was pretty scary...
I hope she doesn't kill me for posting this picture...but she was one tough cookie and I am so super proud of her! I am happy to say they got it all and she doesn't have to do any radiation. We were really worried about that.



So we had definatly had enough of hospital and Dr's for the year!

Coop got his braces on...it wasn't as fun as he thought it would be...lived on Smoothies and soup for about 3 days...it's finally getting better.
When he was getting his on there was a girl next to him getting hers off so I asked how long did you have them on for...she says 9 years...Cooper almost choked on the wires they were placing in his mouth. The Dr quickly reassured Cooper she had a lot of special circumstances. Let's hope so!




Sienna got the benefits of the braces too...with lots of Robeks smoothies....


Now on to happier times...Birthdays!
My cute cute nephew turned ONE! Happy Birthday Hudson!


He was not a fan of digging in the cake...it made us laugh. He just learned to walk and he is a crazy man! So stinking cute though. I sure love him.

Next we had Cooper's best friends Dylan's birthday and we felt sad he didn't have his mom this year so we made him cakes and he slept over at our house...he was so sweet talking till about 1:00 in the morning about his sweet mom and her last days. Made me soooooo sad.

Then we had The Big Coop's Birthday...14! Ahhhhh so sad! I don't want him to get any older!!!


Sienna did not understand why Cooper didn't want to wake up and open his presents...she was very confused.


Then she told him she would give him a back rub for his birthday and that got him up.


Then we were off to IHOP for breakfast....Coop still tired I think....




Then we were off to the water park which I didn't have my camera for but Coop brought some friends and they had a great time. He is having a friend party next weekend I am a bit nervous for...with Coop everything is huge...tons and tons of friends. Wish me luck! Looking over his invite list he has as many girls as there are boys this year. Am I ready for this?
Happy 14th Birthday Coop!

We had all the family over for desserts....it's always fun.

Wow! That's a lot of hospital time for one family! I'm glad to see everyone survived and that summer was able to continue. You have such a darling family, I am in awe of your cute kids and great parenting skills.
