Moving Back to Pocatello

This is a happy post for us.  We are so excited that Scott got a job at Portneuf as a Nurse Practitioner in the Pre-Surgical Department.  We had been looking for a job in Poky for awhile because we wanted to get back closer to our families.  We are really excited about this.  The only bad part about this is Scott has to be to work on June 2nd and Rachel has her last couple of days of class, her dance recital, and her preschool graduation.  So Rachel and I will be staying here in Boise while Scott starts working at the hospital.  He will be able to stay with his grandparents for a few weeks until we are able to get moved over there.

New Wreath

As we were over in Idaho Falls for conference Kristi and I had a craft weekend.  We ended up making the letters Joy and then a wreath.  I was excited for the wreath until it came time to work on it.  Kristi started it for me and then I had to attempt to finish it.  We kept having to go to the store several times because what we thought we had wasn't enough for what we were doing.  I eventually got ticked and just handed it back to Kristi and was like you do the burlap part and then I could do the rest.  Here is our final product. It turned out pretty cute.

New Doll Bunk Bed

We headed to Kristi's house over conference weekend.  Kristi waited until we came over to give Rachel her birthday present.  It is such a COOL gift.  I ended up helping Kristi make the pillows and the blankets.  It was fun to help.  This is her reaction to her new gift.

Here are the pictures of her playing with her new bunk bed.

 She's got her stuffed animals.

"Mom rub my foot it is wrinkling, oh it hurts oh".  This is when it goes to sleep on her.

At the church:  They asked what is Crucifixion?  She yelled out, "When you get hung on a cross!" 

Came into our room one morning not feeling well.  She said her stomach hurt.  So Scott did an assessment on her to make sure her appendix wasn't having issues. These were some of the following conversations with her.
S:  Where does it hurt?
R shows him where it is hurt.  Scott then moved to a different area and asked:
S:  So does this hurt?
R:  Ignoring him
Scott moved to another spot and asked:  Does this hurt?
She turned to look at him and said, "I told you where it hurts."
Trying another assessment he pounded on her foot.
S:  Does that hurt?
R:  Yes that hurts!
S:  Where does it hurt?
R:  On my foot where you hit me.
Oh my heck she kills me while trying to figure out why she isn't feeling good.

Her new saying this month is:  Focus!


At Montessori her jobs have been: Line Leader, Caboose, fish feeder, Substitute(was able to do the Theme for someone who was absent), the Patriot(Meaning she starts them for the pledge of allegiance), Theme Expert.

Went to her 1st real basketball game.  It was a high school game but it was still her 1st.  She was so funny because she kept asking, How do you cheer at a basketball game?  Eventually she just screamed and yelled until we told her that was enough.  Most of the time she was cheering for the opposite team than I was.
