Wichita Weekend

We enjoyed
some time in Wichita...
Golfing...(maybe in a few years ;)
ridin'


Fishin'






Trent has never
been one to sit still....
at all.
But fishing
has really taught him
patience.
I am so proud of him!
He has begun
to realize 
that 
sitting still
and
being quiet
does have some rewards!
After some rest
we got
all jazzed up...









And went to my
cousins wedding.


It ended up being
a beautiful evening
for an outdoor wedding.
Even the Penguin
pall ring!-bearer
(oops!! Don't worry, all he carried was a ring!)
would agree!



Fun at the reception!



"Dance with me Bubba!"
My cousin
is a firefighter,
his wife is a police officer....
and my aunt
is an amazing 
cake maker!

Trent decided
he 
"Wants a fire cake"
for his birthday.....
um, we will
see about that!
love, the rockinryans

Brothers


A couple months ago
I finally
talked Trent into
moving up to a twin bed.
He really loved his
toddler sized one
but was starting to hit
both ends!
(I think he would still be happy
in a crib...think its a comfort thing).
I had to bribe buy him new
Avengers bedding.
In that process
I realized
Sean was getting very heavy,
and hard to lift into the crib.
So,
he was excited to get the
"Big boy" toddler bed.
And they were both
excited to share a room.
We were nervous
they might play around and not sleep.
But, we found the opposite.
They are now having
a special bonding time.
After we tuck them in,
Sean crawls into bed
for a story
from big brother.
When they are done,
Trent turns off the light
and Sean goes back to his bed.
My heart was
full of Mama-happiness
when I saw this!
Brothers rock!
love, the rockinryans

Kuru Shoes

I never thought
I would be classified as
"A runner".
But, for a short time I was!
Until...my injury.
In January 
I strained my
arch in my Left foot
during sprints.
I have been battling
Plantar Fasciitis
since that time.
Me and my running buddy,
shortly before my injury.

It has been painful,
frustrating,
and depressing.
I had numerous
steroid injections,
tried every
over-the-counter
PF treatment I could find
and am now
getting adjustments
and
low-frequency shock treatments.
The adjustments have helped,
but I was getting set back
when I would go to work and
be on my feet
for 10-12 hours at a time.
I would leave
almost in tears due to the pain.
After yet another
Internet search,
I ran into the
Kuru website.
I took a chance on
these shoes.
I am glad that I did!
They are awesome!
The insole actually
molds itself  to fit your foot.
I  have been wearing them
at work and can honestly
say that after 10 hours
on my feet,
I remain pain free!
I finally feel
that I am on the road to recovery.
Hopefully my
running buddy and I
will be hitting
the streets again soon!
love, the rockinryans
