15 weeks!
4 More Days!!

14 weeks

So I don't hide my pregnancy very well. There are some days
I feel PREGNANT PREGNANT and some days...Chubby!
I can start feeling the stretching and today my ribs are sore.
It's getting harder to sleep because I'm a stomach sleeper!
I find out the sex of the baby at the end of the month and we
CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!
We have a boy name that has been with us for 7 years!
If it's a girl, I will laugh, cry and laugh some more!
And then start looking at girl names.

Open House

(right before the open house Emma wasn't feeling well, so that's
the reason for the "no" smiling Emma)

Leah was SOOO excited to go to "class"
She did not want to leave!

This was right before Natalie started crying...
It was bed time so Ryan took her out to the car.

Tuesday night the girls had
Open House at school.
Emma's class was decorated like a sea. The kids made a lot of fun crafts.
Alison had a lot of fun showing us her class.
She sits RIGHT IN FRONT of the teacher and loves it.
She colors pictures for her teacher almost every weekend
and Mrs. Cox desk was covered with her pictures!

I haven't forgotten about my blog...
I just forget to take pictures!

So a quick update

Alison and Emma are ALMOST done
with school and they are EXCITED!!!
I am too but a little nervous on how I'm going to keep them occupied!
(I have been working on some charts and I'll post those later! When I'm finished)

Leah and Natalie are becoming friends....
not that they're not friends but they are wanting to be around each other more often.
And of course that is nice for mommy!

Daddy is busy busy at work doing overtime and swaps and just
plain work!

I'm doing good. Getting over a cold that came out of nowhere!
My Kia is doing better but still needs a little work.
Spark plugs and ignition coils and their mother board
(have no idea what it is called)
has been replaced. It's so nice to have my car back!
The two weeks it wasn't working felt like
F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!

So until I have more time and pictures
WALA!

Spark Plugs

Ryan trying to figure out how to take this all apart!
Pain in the BUTT!!!!

You see that Big Metal Piece?
The other 3 spark plugs are under That!!!

So Where do I begin!
Last week I received Brent's Graduation announcement and
noticed it's when my girls have their Spring Break so...Duh why
aren't I driving up to Utah so I can attend the graduation and
be with my family for Easter!
I talked it over with Ryan and he was ok with it and of course my
mom was ok with us staying with them so it was on the calendar!
A mini vacation for me and the girls!
We were all excited!
Then....that feeling came!
Something wasn't right!
I tossed and turned over it for a couple days then sent my mom a
text that we might not come up. Of course we're all sad and I'm going a little
crazy trying to figure out "why can't I go!" But the decision was made
I was staying home!
So Tuesday night we were driving out to my in laws and
I lose engine power!
It happened a couple more times while I turned around heading back home.
Ryan wanted to drive it so we drove to his sisters house
to ask Marlon her husband for some help.
All comes down to we need to change our spark plugs
and we're HOPING that's our problem.
Cheri and her family came to visit me on Thursday so Kelby changed one
of them and showed me how to do it!
Super EASY on the front three!
If you go up to the pictures you can see where the other 3 are located!
That whole metal piece has to come out! GRRRR!

So I've learned 2 things on this whole experience!
Very thankful I listened to the spirit and my gut and didn't take that 10 hour drive to Utah.
(which I probably would have been stuck in the desert cause my car wouldn't have made it)
And
When I'm looking at my next car! I will definitely look at the engine and see
where the spark plugs are at!!!!!!

Mommy and Leah had some alone time and we had fun
playing on the computer!
Alison and Emma are at a birthday party and Natalie is
taking a nap!
~GOOD TIMES~

Yes I know it's almost April and I haven't posted or written anything
about our March!
Well here's a quick run down of our March!

March 2 2011
Ryan's Grandpa Ball
passed away.
He was an amazing man and Ryan was able to go and see Grandpa Ball
March 1 which was an AWESOME experience for him!
While he was saying his goodbye's Ryan was holding his hand and Ryan
was thanking him for joining the gospel and how thankful
he is for Eternal Families and Ryan said Grandpa squeezed his hand
very tight! How Awesome is that!
Grandpa Ball funeral was held March 7
and also, a very great family experience and great stories were told!
Ryan looks SOOOO much like his grandpa when he was probably
Ryan's age. A lot of people said something about how much
they look alike!

That week of the funeral was Ryan's week vacation.
It was nice having Ryan home to help out around the house and
the girls had a lot of fun having him home!
I think he enjoyed his time off but looked forward to going back to work!
9 days off with 5 girls!!!!

Our big exciting news from March is
WE'RE EXPECTING!!!!!
We found out in March we are expecting our baby #5!
We're excited nervous and thinking of all the craziness
