Sad news today

I haven't posted in a while as Taryn does a better job than me. Today we got some very sad news concerning Kona. A couple months ago Kona had a growth removed from his eye lid as well as his side. We didn't think much of it since he had another skin tag removed from his eye lid in the past. A couple weeks later we noticed that Kona had more growths popping up. About two weeks ago two of the growths began to bleed which was concerning, so we decided to have them removed. Our general care vet had them sent to a pathologist as he was concerned with these growths. Yesterday we learned that they tested positive as being malignant and that Kona has hemangiosarcoma. Today we took him to the Oncologist where he spent most of the day. They found cancerous nodules on his spleen as well as throughout his chest cavity. Due to the severity of his cancer, we've decided not to treat. Our Oncologist agreed that at this point, that is probably the best decision due to the severity. We've also decided to cancel our vacation to the Cape for now as she's only given him 1-2 months and if we have to make that final decision, we would rather Kona be at home.

Father's Day

The day started with Emmi giving Jacob a boy Barbie, aka Ken, which she immediately brought downstairs to play with her Barbie. Then we cooked breakfast for him. Then it was on to our adventure. We took the Lynx Uptown to The Green and check out many of the water fountains. Here are some pics at the Green:


Checking out the many fountains but this one seemed to be the biggest hit:


Then pressing the music playing/ light up wall things while waiting on the Lynx:

Getting Fit

I have made a commitment to myself after watching the amazing progress that Jacob has made. In April I started working out in the garage doing CrossFit type workouts. Now we have a few friends that come over to work out with me. I am so thankful for them as it keeps me committed.
Here we are working out doing sideways jumping over boxes.
200ft walk holding weight over our heads.
All done.

Emmi likes to also workout sometimes with us too. Here she is doing assisted push-ups.
And deadlifts with her bar.

The kids have also been riding their bikes. Moo loves being pushed on the Kettler trike.
Here is Emmi riding her bike in the n'hood.

Priceless moment that doesn't happen that often anymore.
