Our BIG News!
So after my brush with Manazumma's Revenge. I took what seemed to be forever to get back to normal. I kept wanting to take 2 naps a day. Well I hadn't had my period yet, and thought It was because I was soo sick. And my sister's all have had early pre-menopaus symptoms. I thought that's what it was for sure. Yeah, no more periods!! Until just a week before Mike had to have his final surgery. I started feeling nauseous late at night. And then it hit me!!! Ahhhhhhh, I might be expecting. I kinda felt real stupid, We were so set on us being done. I never would have even considered the fact I might be Prego. So it's official we are expecting baby #4 in January!! Which means December (for those who know how my pregnancies are anything but normal.) So here is my GOOD excuse for not updating my blog since may. Oh yeah and there is nothing like a 7 yr. gap between kids. Oh and better yet we gave everything away!! We have no baby items at all. Heavenly Father must be L.O.L.
It's been way too long!!!
So it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. I'll start off with our Memorial weekend.
4 out of 5 of my siblings all spent the weekend down in Baja (where else?) Most of us has a great weekend, with the exception of Rob and I. We both came down with what we call Manazumma's Revenge. We were down the whole weekend!!! (and longer!) All in all everyone else had a great time. My three kiddos had a blast playing with all their cousins. Whitney and Chad we missed you!. Maybe next year eh?

Spring Break
SierraDawn after a fun makeover with the Tuttle Girls. Ahh so pretty!
Yes , there are 10 kids in that Jeep! Can you find my 3!
Brother Tuttle was a very busy man all week, driving the Harper's Jeep around. with at least 4 screaming girl's, standing up in the backseat holding on to the roll bar!
(sound familiar to anyone??)
Siesta time! Mike always finds time for a nap in Baja!
The whole gang is here! Even Crash made an appearance in the photo.
This is long over due, but I just got the photos off my moms camera. Can you believe I forgot to take mine down to Baja.(that has never happened before)
We spent our spring break down at Grandpa Ragle's house in Baja. (what a surprise) The kids just love spending time down in there just running wild. That is was I love about it now.
When I was a kid everyone had the same spring break in Cali. (always around Easter) and the beach was always busy (but not California beach busy...) most of you know what I'm talking about. Baja beach busy means there is someone else on the beach, how dare they encroach on our 1/2 a mile of beach... they are way too close. No seriously it can get a little busy on holiday weekends, with vehicles going up and down the beach all hours of the day, and you have to keep an eye on your kids. Now it's completely different. We were there the week after Easter, which meant it was soo quiet. I think we were the only Quads and Jeep on the beach all week. Ahhh so nice. To have miles and miles of beach to our selves. Upon our arrival to the house we were surprised to find out that a Family from our stake was staying at The Harper's beach house next door. So much to my delight and my daughter's the Tuttle's were there all week too. The Tuttle's have 11 children, 8 were there. 5 of the 8 are GIRL's, SierraDawn was in heaven all week. The best part is Krii (mom Tuttle) is so used to having a ton of kids my 3 just blended right in. But my kid's are also finally to the age that they can go off down the hill all by themselves and stay out of trouble. They have been so many times they know the rules, (Stay away from any reptile!!!). It is nice to have that freedom, from constantly having to entertain them. All though the constant quad rides does get a little old after a while. (who am I kidding I love it and so does Grandpa Ragle) It was a nice relaxing week, of soaking up the sun, swimming, 4x4 rides, quad rides, campfires, and smores... who can ask for anything more? Oh and after 30 years of spending evey Spring Break in Baja I finally found Starfish. Yay for me, I had to leave them there to dry out in the sun. So everyone, (Family) hands off at Memorial weekend. Just kidding there is plenty to go around we found at least 20. For all of my siblings see you all at Memorial weekend I can't wait.

It's not Rocket Science!
For those of you who didn't already know our oldest son Britton (10) was diagnosed last year with Aspergers Syndrome. A.S. is on the Autism Spectrum, and is affectionately called the "little professor" syndrome. So needless to say a child with A.S. is quite smart, but not very coordinated. (Family think of our cousin Sione!!!)oh how we tortured him:(
Last week I picked the boys up from school and Britton insisted we go to the park. "Mom I want to show you something" ...I'm thinking I have already seen every rock in the park! "MOM I have a surprise for you!" "OK"
We get out of the van and I'm expecting him to show me something he saw on the ground through the school fence. I'm not kidding!! To my delight he jumped up on the swing and away he went. I asked him where did you learn to swing, who was finally able to get you to move your body the right way? (if you have seen my sweet boy try any type of movement which requires coordination before, you know what I mean) he proceeds to tell me in his best Rocket Science Language ( believe me I was lost) of how he figured it out by watching other kids. I was so lost I can't even come close to repeating it.
Then on Friday he mastered his BIKE. (I didn't get so lost in the Rocket Science Language this time . Yeah me!) Mom is so proud of her sweet boy! These are huge steps for him. and As SierraDawn put it "It's about time now we can ALL now go on a bike ride!!!"
Now if we could only get him to catch a ball?

SomeBUNNY came...
We came home after church and there was an egg sitting on our porch. And when we opened
the front door our dog was in the house, how weird we left him outside!? Who do you think let him in? The kids quickly ran out back and soon realized that the Easter Bunny came.
How did he know we were at Church mom? The Easter Bunny just always knows!

Pre Easter Egg Hunt
This year we were home to enjoy the Easter egg hunt at our aunt Janet's house the day before EASTER. The kids swam all afternoon and then went to Chad's Baseball game and finally just before dark got to hunt for 139 hidden eggs. And then some more swimming until 9PM. They look forward to this every year, and so does mom she loves hiding those eggs. The kid's love spending time with there 2nd cousins.
