We've been constantly on the go. It's a good thing, because if I wasn't constantly going, I would lay down and go to sleep. Ash is back at ILC after two weeks off. I can't wait tell summer vacation, NO more arguments about homework. She loves homework, but doesn't want to do it until its "dark" (meaning night).
Mondays and Wednesdays are dedicated to Ash's baseball games. There are the ever present Dr's appointment (It seems all I've done since Ash was born is go to Dr's appointments. During my spring break, Ash had a double ear infection. And as of tommorow, I will have had 5 appointments in the last three weeks, myself.
Yesterday I had my 4th ultrasound, the third to make sure the baby had all its vital organs, and that the were working. I ended up having to have it done at the hospital for the third one, and yet again the baby was still being uncooperative. Thats why the MIGHT be a girl came into play. Brennen still says its a boy.
Well, it's time to get going to a baseball game. I'll get some pictures of that up soon.
I'm glad you made it to Germany safely Katie.
Love to all

Go Rivercats
Ashlynn-Marie is a Rivercat this year. She is one of two girls on the team. Where she was one of the best on the t-ball team, on this team I think her skills are towards the bottom of the pack. The parents of this team are going to be very competitive, even some of the boys are. It was really cute the very first day of practice, they were out taking batting practice, and one of the boys just smashed it into the outfield (they play on regular sized Babe Ruth fields now), and one of the boys fielding said "We're going to have a very good season!" It was so funny. Ash has been so excited to play, so I hope she has fun and doesn't get discouraged. I also think that her vision is going to be a little bit of a problem this season, especially while she's batting. We'll see...
Paul has made a lateral move at the travel agency. He now is going to be working at the help desk. He has been training for it the last week during the hours that I've been at school, so Brennen has gone to Grandma Shirley's for the week.(Thanks Shirley, it been a big help you keeping Brennen this week.) Brennen has had lots of fun playing with Luke (the little boy Shirley nannies), going to the park, going to the nature park, and helping to bake a cake for Great-Grandma Pat's birthday.(Happy Birthday Grandma!!!)
It's Spring Break and I'm so excited to have a week off. The kids have just been crazy at school, or just plain sick and still coming to school. I told them if they got me sick, and I was sick during Spring Break, I was going to hunt them down and cough on them.:)
My friend Katie, is going to Germany to play Professional Softball. Good Luck Katie, I'll miss you.
Hope everyone has a great week.
Love to All!!!

Ultrasounds
On Wednesday, I had my second Ultrasound. One of the cruelest things, I think that you can do to a pregnant women, is to tell her to drink at least 32 oz. of water an hour before her Ultrasound. The pain from having to go to the bathroom was excruciating. The Dr. was only able to get three of the measurements that he need to make sure the baby was OK. We couldn't get any good pictures, because the baby is sitting breach down in my pelvis (Let's just say that it has been very painful to walk the last couple of days. And the baby is constantly kicking me...Because I sure its very uncomfortable down there too). So my next Ultrasound is on April Fool's Day... The receptionist thought that was pretty funny.
Brennen is getting really excited about the baby. Now that he has "seen" it, he is sure that it is a boy. He points out babies when we are in public, and talks in an exaggerated whisper when he talks about them.
Ash got to go on her first plane ride yesterday. She's been begging her daddy to take he on a plane She has also been asking to go see Easton and Emily) so he planed this trip a month ago, for both of them to go to Vegas.
Brennen and I went on a Papa date yesterday. We went to a Bronco Basketball game. He liked watching the score boards and reader boards change. He was pretty good, he got a little antsy, but all in all he did a good job. He got a little basketball that was thrown into the stands.
That's it for another week.

Time Flies
It seems like yesterday, when I did my last blog. Since then everyday stuff has happended.
On the 10th, Ash had surgery to take out the rod that was in her arm. They told me we needed to be there at 6:15 am. Well the news the night before called for fog. So, mom and I decided we probably needed to leave by 5:30am, because it was clear down town Boise where we needed to be. We wake up, no fog...so we get there about 5 after 6. We get to the doors, and they are still locked. They don't even open until 6:15am. We sit, and sit, and sit about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes later, they call us back for preop. The surgery is suposed to be at "7:15". But, no its nearly 8 before it starts. The surgen was late again!!! It only took about 20 minutes total. They must of believed me that she has a hard time coming of the meds, becuase it didn't take her very long to come off of it, and she was pretty with it within 30 min. It was funny watching her come off the Meds. She opted to save the rod. When she was looking at in her med coded fog, she said "Mom it looks like one of your sewing neddles." It does too. It looks like a thin crochet hook the size of her arm. We were eating breakfast at Shari's by 9 am in Meridian. I have never seen her pack away so much food before. We then had a "relaxing" (ha,ha...does Ash ever relax, and stay still) day watching movies at granilani's. The Aunties (we missed you Em) came over to watch too. We then had a yummy family dinner at the parent's that night.
Brennen's been up to his same old tricks. Got to watch this kid like a hawk... If you don't your house gets redecorated. But all in all, he's had a few good weeks.
For Valentine's day, Paul and I did a session at the Temple, and then went out for lunch at the Olive Garden. The kids went over to the Tampas grandparents for a visit.
Last week I had a bought, and couldn't be very far from the bathroom.:( Yuck, Yuck!!
Paul went skiing, and did some over Time.
That's been pretty much it for the last 16 days. School, Church stuff, and everyday activities that are routine.

CraZZZy Week
The week started out just fine, until Tuesday, when I start to get a migraine. Paul went to the Pharmacy to pick up a RX that my OB/GYN prescribed for my headaches, and brought it to school to me. We'll my head was getting worse, and the script was for something similar I had had before, but the generic version. I have not had a medicine metabolize so fast in my life. About 30 minutes later I was feeling very dizzy, and one of more co-workers said "Man Lara, your eyes are going crazy." I went into the classroom next door to lay down, but then I couldn't breath. I stood up for a minute and that relaxed my lungs. Another co-worker came in with a question for me so I went to sit back at our desk we share. While trying to call dad to see if he could pick up Ash, I had about two seconds warning that I was going to be sick. Luckily I have a bathroom about 10 feet from my desk. Let's just say it wasn't pretty!!! And then I really couldn't breath. Paul came to pick me up, and I went home and laid down. I shook for two hours,and was dizzy for another eight. After that my migraine had switched sides and was much worse. I made it through two hours of school the next day, before I had to go home again. The Dr. prescribed me with a new RX. I was apprehensive to try it, but all is well.
Thursday, while Ash and I were doing homework upstairs, Brennen decided he wanted to paint. Needless to say my ledge was dripping with black and maroon paint. The walls were streaked, spots on the carpet, two bathrooms covered, and white Brennen painted black.
Friday, Ash had school early because a local radio station came to visit her school. They won a Valentine's for the Troops contest. Her school that has less then 100 students K-6 made over 4005 valentine's. I'm sure there was a lot of help from the Preschoolers. The announcers played games with the kids, and let some of the older kids do the weather. Ashlynn won one of the spots in red light green light. They also had all of the kids give a complement about their school. They all had a great time.
The Winter Special Olympics are in Idaho this week. We watched the opening ceremonies on TV. Since it was at the Idaho center, only so many people could go, because the had fit all the athletes in.
Well, that's the last week in a nut shell.
Love to All,
Lara
