At the beginning of summer I had my kids write a list of things they wanted to do while out of school. We now only have 1 week left of summer break and we have not accomplished anything. makinley said the only thing we did this summer is go to doctor appointments and she is right. Makinley was diagnosed with Hashimotos (it is where your body builds up antibodies to kill off your thyroid)in April so she has been to Salt Lake for appointments and has had to have her blood taken several times. She also has a bad stomach and had a scope at primary childrens and spends alot of time in pain or at the doctor, we still don't know the cause. She has been taking 5 pills a day not good for an 8 year old. We blame it on the Moon genes. We took Kyson out of his research study but had his blood taken for another study which was fine because we also had him tested for Hashimotos since Makinley is so young with it they wanted all of us to be tested.He deos not have it thank goodness. We also started him on meds for add hoping they would help him concentrate so he can learn to read but we have gone through lots of kinds of meds and no such luck. Easton has also had his blood tested and he is fine but then he breaks his arm. So Makinley was right we have seen the doctors office alot this summer, hopefully with school starting things will calm down. Makinley is good now for 6 months then they will recheck to made sure her blood levels are still good, if not they will just up her medication so now she just needs to gain back all her muscle tone. 
Here are the things we did get to do this summer. I had one goal for the summer and I accomplished it, it was to get Kyson riding his bike without training wheels. Easton has been riding for over a year but Kyson had a hard time learning to balance but he finally did it!!!!
