Summer 2009 and Mike's Birthday




So funny, Mike asked how old he was when he woke up on his birthday (he's losing his memory LOL). I had told him that he had turned 39, but during his drive to work, he called his brother and his brother told him that he was 38. Mike instantly called me back and corrected me about his age. We laughed so hard!! I have to remember that I have a younger husband :) hehehe

Summer 2009 - Picking Veggies

We went to a farm in Palmer to pick veggies. It was a nice evening with the exception of those dang misquitos.

Fun Time Sledding

Our friend, Asta, let the kids use her boogie board. Can you tell from their smile that they are having fun!!

It's Been a Long Time!!!

Wow!! It's been a long time since we lasted posted anything on the blogger for the Cruz family. I will try in the next several days to load more pictures from June to present. We definitly had a busy summer so we had a hard time keeping up with the blog website. So stay tuned......exciting new pics coming soon.

Take care,
The Cruz family

Bristol, Zane and Sage

Bristol is ready to get the chainsaw out and cut some wood.
Zane and Sage collecting wood for the fire. Those two lived on the 4-wheeler that weekend. Burned up a lot of gas!


Eric (Mike's Cousin)

Eric BBQing some good ribs that he marinated the day before. He slowly BBQed them and the were awesome!! Eric is a very good chef. He learned "the ropes" from an Executive Chef in Guam. He has been cooking some awesome dinners ever since he got to Anchorage.
Eric is use to 80 degree weather so when we went camping to Deep Creek it was a little cold for him. Here he is warming up by the fire.


Dad and Kids

I bet this was the best nap ever....Dad sleeping next to the fire.
Bristol, Sage, Zane, Charlee (eating the rest of the fried rice) and Isabelle (poor her hat was covering her eyes).
