Pulling herself up!

McKenzie is a fast crawler and now pulls herself up on EVERYTHING! Even our pant legs when I am doing dishes or cooking. She knows when Melia is in the bathroom going potty and crawls as fast as she can through the kitchen to get there. She makes us laugh daily! Easter pictures to come... I am tired and need to sleep so I can pack all day tomorrow... 3 more days until we move!

Day at the park with our friends, Kaycee and Mea

It was actually a good temperature today so Kaycee and I decided to take the girls to the park. It is about a mile away so we just decided to walk there. Mea and Melia are about 10 days apart and it has been so much fun being able to have them play together. Melia loves having Mea over to play and screams everytime she sees Mea out the window. Let's just say that our family is going to miss the Montgomery's A LOT. Here are the pictures from the fun day at the park!

More crafts I have made lately

This is the frame for our niece Ellyn.


This was a birthday present for our niece Leia. I am making them for all the nieces this year.


This was for my friend Heather. She is having her baby boy any day now and I made this for her baby shower.


This is for Andrew and Beck's room, my nephews. Obviously a sports theme.

Another update on Treven...

MRI showed nothing except fluid in his knee. Doctor here in Rexburg wants to scope Treven's knee so he can look and see in the knee. He is sure there is something going on because of what happened, but the MRI is clear. The only two days that the doctor could do the surgery were on the 8th and the 15th, well Treven's finals are on the 8th and we move on the 16th so both are not going to work. We decided it is a blessing because we don't have to immediately get the surgery done. The doctor also said that if we could not do the surgery that Treven could just start exercising on a bike (NO SPORTS) to help his knee a little bit, but then if it pops again that we need to go to the doctor and get it looked at further. Since we are moving, we decided on option #2 and that we will just wait until we move to Washington especially because we just found out that the COBRA insurance is around 800 a month which is just AH! So we will wait. That is the update!

13 more days until we move. Treven's dad is coming out to drive the truck with Treven and Melia, Treven's sister, will be meeting us in Boise to drive the rest of the way with me! We are going to leave early on the 16th and drive the whole way in one day so we will be in Washington that night! We are pretty excited. I am working on getting my teaching license in Washington. I have everything done except my fingerprints will be done on April 20th in their office so it can be done digitally and processed within 48 hours. Then I can start substituting in either Battleground School District or Vancouver Public Schools District. I also have a job fair for Evergreen School District on April 18th so I will be handing out my resume and having interviews there. We will see, hopefully something works out for us! Treven starts school on May 11th and will be done with Summer semester by the end of June so that he can come with my family to the lake house that we are going to this summer!

Back to packing!

Quick update on Treven...

We went to the orthopedic surgeon today and he ordered an MRI for Monday morning then we have another appointment with the doctor on Thursday. So one more week until we really, for sure, know what is going on within that knee of his. The doctor is thinking it is a lateral meniscus tear and possibly a partial tear of his ACL because of the tests he did today. He said there definitely is something going on because the x-ray they took looked perfect and nothing was out of place, but when we went to the ER they did pop something back into place. Something is going on and we have to wait another week...

We're Twisted Pretzel was a little too expensive...

So tonight Treven and I decide to go to a Pretzel place here tonight with the girls. We wanted to be able to take them out of the house and get a little snack for FHE. Well we get there and Treven gets in the back of the car to get McKenzie out of her car seat while I was getting Melia. All of a sudden I hear this scream... sounds familiar to me. He has made the same scream when he has popped his knee out of socket, but this time he wasn't able to get it back into place. We sat there for about 5-10 minutes while he continued to try and push it back into place. Melia was laughing at him the whole time because she thought he was trying to scare her. We then decide, "Okay maybe we should go to the urgent care before it closes." We show up at 7:55 PM and I can see that they are locking the door. They close at 8. So I run up to see if maybe they can just let us in and just pop it back into place real quick. She informs me that they don't take patients after 7:50 so we need to go to the hospital. Well that is just wonderful! We are moving in three weeks and Treven's last day of Pepsi was this Friday so the insurance was going to be ending this Friday. We believe all of this came from when Treven first popped his knee out when we went snowboarding back in February of 2006! In the last 3 months he has popped his knee out probably 3 to 4 times. I called our friend Linzi to see if she can come grab the girls and she met us there. All this time Treven is still in the back seat, in A LOT of pain from whatever is happening. We are trying to decide what to do because we don't want to spend a bunch of money. But I kept getting a feeling that we did need to go since he definitely was not able to pop it back into place. Well we decide we do need to go to the ER and we will be able to work out the money part later. We get to the ER and Treven cannot get out of the car so I run in and the nurse comes out with wheelchair. Three guys helped him get out of the back seat. He could not straighten his knee at all! We get him admitted and they take him straight back and give him X-rays. Doctor comes in and tells us that it is not fractured, but that he thinks it is a buckle tear in the meniscus of his right leg. He proceeds to pop Treven's knee into place then give us some pain medicine for his knee. Treven has to wear a knee immobilizer so that he is not able to bend his knee at all. We now have to go see an orthopedic surgeon by the end of the week. We will see if he will have to get the surgery soon or after we move to Washington. We don't know what will happen, we are just trusting in the Lord that everything will work out. Treven is obviously not able to work his last 4 days of work. They said we can keep our insurance, but we will just have to pay a little more. I am so stressed out already with the move and now we have this... what did Treven do when we get home? Popped in Twilight to watch with me and help me forget about the stress. I love him!

Daddy and Melia making Milkshakes

I copied our friends Linzi and Sam! But it was such a fun idea that we had to do it. Melia absolutely loved it. When she says milk shake she shakes her whole body! It is hilarious! Here are the pictures from Treven and Melia making strawberry milkshakes and yes we are making them in the food processor. Melia misplaced the rubber ring for the blender... only piece we are missing...oh two year olds!
