Knee Surgery

Well after a fall from my horse two weeks after getting her. Saddle difficulties, a tip always buy a new saddle. Anyways, after 3 months of rehab to build up the muscles again I finally had knee surgery to replace my ACL (one of the four ligaments in a knee). He did some clean up on my cartilage on the knee cap and some other minor thing than went for the gusto and took out my old ACL and replaced it with a cadavar Achilles tendon and a bone piece from the heel. I know it sound weired but using my own patella tendon was not an option for me wayyyy to much recovery time for that. The Dr said 2 week off the leg with only partial weight bearing with a brace and crutches. Well needless to say I could handle only 3 days of the brace and only about a week of the crutches. So today I went to Scotts Valley and only used the crutches a bit and even drove. I get to see the Dr on tuesday so I will see how things are going.

Kelty's 2nd Birthday

The Big Birthday girl and her Dad

It just amazes me that it took 6 kids to get one with Kirk's eyes

She sure is her Daddy's little girl

Kelty's yummy cake!

Kelty love her cake so much, she had a little trouble blowing out the candles but she got plenty of help from her sisters and brother.

Kelty got new shoes for her presents. Even though we have plenty of shoes from her sisters I could not resist these pretty ones to play in ( psst Gail guess where they are made)



Here are her new church shoes. Kelty liked both of her new pairs and wanted to were them all the time.
