Baking some cookies!

Update
Well just thought I would do a short update real quick. We will be heading out to Vancouver, Washington on Friday for Chrsitmas vacation. Well Friday we will be going to Boise then flying out of Boise on Saturday morning. We are so excited to come home. Treven will be home from the 13th to the 18th and Melia, McKenzie, and I will be staying until the 29th. We can't wait to see everybody. Unfortunately Treven has to be home for Christmas because of Pepsi BUT we are moving into our new apartment on the 19th so Treven is going to slowly move everything into the new place since we don't need to be out of here until the 31st. Then I can clean it when I get home... I AM SO READY TO MOVE! There is SO much more room at the new apartment.
McKenzie got an ear infection this last week and is teething so she has been miserable. She had her 4 month check up today and had to get shots on top of it all! Well she is HUGE!!! She ended up being 19 1/2 lbs in weight and 28 1/2 inches long. She is 100th percentile in both! We couldn't believe it! We knew she was big, but not THAT big. Our infant car seat only goes up to 29 inches... so looks like we will be getting a new car seat for either Melia or McKenzie.
Melia is doing great and growing well. She is learning new words everyday. But she refuses to even try to say her name... she doesn't like to say things that have L's in it. Andrew and Melia had a blast at Thanksgiving together. They, of course, fought, but also gave each other plenty of hugs and kisses. They are a new Isaac and Jane!!
Treven got a raise a couple of weeks ago at work and now is earning 11 dollars an hour so that is definitely helpful. I am planning on being a substitute in the Winter which is like 65 dollars every day that I sub. I find out in like a week if I passed my PE Praxis so that I am certified in Physical Education. It is so weird to not be way busy and having something to do all the time. I love being able to spend time with my girls... it just is a lot less busy. Treven has an interview with Admissions at WSU Vancouver to talk about what credits transfer and what he needs to do to go there on Monday the 15th so we will see how that goes. I am looking everyday for teaching jobs in Washington and Idaho.
Well that is the update from us! I will add some pictures from Thanksgiving as well!

Running...
So I just started running again because I really enjoy it and I want to lose some inches and some weight! SO anyway, I started on Monday. Monday I ran 2.25 miles (I walked some), Tuesday I ran almost 2 miles ( I walked once), TODAY I ran 3 miles exactly and ran the entire time.... 10 minute mile pace BUT I did it! I am so happy about it and it is only my third day. I feel so good when I am exercising and now I have the time. Yes, it is cold outside but I am bundled up and I don't even feel the cold after about 1/2 a mile. I will write more updates soon.... 9 more days until we go back to Washington! We are pretty excited!

4 more days... basically
Well I should have a week left but I am able to miss up to 3 days so my supervisor said I don't have to go next week. My Cooperating teacher for PE told me I don't need to go on Friday since I can miss three days. My health cooperating teacher wants me to come on Friday so I have to go for that one class which we are just doing a party since I am leaving and they won a competition with the other health classes so they don't have to take the test for the unit.
I have my Work Sample on Wednesday night at 6:15 which is like my final for student teaching. I have to present a unit that I did with the students in Health. I chose the Substance Use and Abuse Unit that I did. I have to show my pre test and results, post-test and results, 3-5 lesson plans from the unit, a unit plan, the unit objectives and lesson objectives... I just have to review it all and make it look pretty in a binder. I am still a little nervous for it. It will be 15 minutes long then I will be done! Thursday morning he will come and watch one of my PE classes for like 15 minutes just to collect all the paperwork from my cooperating teachers then I will be officially done! I still have a D&C class to finish, but once I am done this week I am going to finish the class because I will have more time!
I am so excited to be done... but I will definitely miss teaching and the kids at the school. It is still weird to think I am teaching Isaac's age... anyway! I will be looking for teaching jobs between January and April because that is when they start posting them. Treven and I have been praying about what is the best thing for us to do and Treven would just take early classes so the girls are not at the babysitter too long. (We may get Heidi back!!! Some of you understand that excitement!) Anyway, it looks like it would be worth not having Treven working... of course this all wouldn't happen until next fall anyway and depends on if there are any openings! Another option we are looking at that somebody at the school mentioned is that Treven should declare his associates in General Studies next Summer and then he wouldn't lose the credits if he transfered somewhere in Boise or Washington. We will see how it all works out...
I am so excited to go to the midnight showing for Twilight on Thursday night then go to Boise on Friday night! The girls and I will be going alone since Treven could only go for just Thanksgiving so he said GO! and be with your sister! So I guess I am going! I have such a great husband who is willing to be alone for the holidays and let the girls and I be with our extended family. Then I am so excited to come home on December 13th! YAY! The girls and I will be there until the 29th. Treven will be there until the 18th. We get to move into our new apartment on the 18th and don't have to be out of this apartment until the 31st. SO OUR ADDRESS IS CHANGING AGAIN! Just to let you know! If you want the new address give me your e-mail so I can send it to you.
Sorry if this is random... I am a little tired and can't remember what I am writing.
just wanted to give you all an update... Love you!
