Update

I was lucky enough to get a very understanding woman on the phone yesterday. They are going to cover both service calls and the part. Thank goodness!! Now I just have to wait 2.5 weeks to get the stupid thing fixed again! Oh well at least I don't have to dish out the money.

Does it ever end???

We went away this weekend back to Wyoming. I even fessed up to my husband on the way home that I actually miss living there. Can you believe that? I don't personally miss Worland, but take me to Powell and Cody and I miss everything! We were able to see so many friends, new babies and Grandma Mona! The kids favorite was of course Grandma, who wouldn't! The main reason for the trip was a wedding reception for one of Dans oldest friends Jared and his new bride Amanda! We are so happy for them and are excited to meet the new little addition to their family coming in August.

On another note....great things must always come to and end! If you remember the last time we went to Wyoming we came home to a fridge that someone turned off. It sat for 2 days in the nice and hot August heat! How nice was that!!! This time I come home to a stove with a flashing clock. I thought of great power went off check the fridge it was good. So I put it to the back of my mind until today. I went to make Kayla and I lunch and I have NO oven!! So after a few choice thoughts I did what the repair man told me last time this happened ( 3.5 months ago) and turned off the breaker for 5 minutes. I tried it again and no such luck. I call my handy dandy repair man at Norby repair, and he knows whats wrong again as do I. We were thinking the last time he fixed it was the end of November or first of December so we were cutting it close to the 90 day warranty on the part. We were wrong and it was fixed the 3rd of November! Which means now I have to pay the $164+ for just the part and his service call!! UGGHHHH!!!!!!!! Screw that!!! We have ONLY had this piece of crap Whirlpool stove for 14 months, it shouldn't need to be fixed twice already for the same freaking problem!! So he told me to call them and explain the situation and maybe they will send the part and still cover it. I hope so or so help the person on the other line!! Wish me luck!

Oh yeah and another rant....I dropped my wedding set off at Samules in Billings to get fixed once again. Only to be told that they no longer have our records and that I need to fax our paper work to them so they can make sure the warranty is still valid. Now I only need to find the paperwork from 5 years ago!

Baby #4!!

As most of you may know we are expecting #4 finally! And to those out in blogger land sorry,I just haven't had the energy to post about it yet. We are expecting our little miracle baby #4 sometime in September. I would love to give the actual due date, but seeing as every time we look at baby it gains a week so it chages all the time. If the doctor gets his wish of 39 weeks baby will be here September 7-10 sometime. He has VERY high hopes!! I laughed at him and said that was almost impossible given my history, my nurse agreed and said it was very unlikely he could get me that far. So we shall see who wins in the end. As long as its healthy and doesn't come to early we will be happy.

The kids are excited, actually that's an understatement! The girls are wanting another brother. William on the other hand changes his mind daily. Although he has been wanting another sister for a week now!

And it I can figure out how to scan a picture I'll share them from our NT scan at 12 weeks.

Hello my people!!

Okay since I'm feeling better and everyone is down for naps it's time to finish off our vacation! Its only 2 months later, so its going to be quick so I can get everyone up to speed.
We did so many fun things every day its hard to pick which ones so lets just do day 3 & 4. Day 3 was spent in Modesto at Johns Pizza and Boomers. They both were as Dan would say a "parents nightmare" or like Chuck e Cheese. They played there little hearts out! Boomers had both indoor and outdoor areas. Dan and Madison both climbed a rock wall, and played on the bumper boats. And lets not forget the go-carts! Dan was upset because he never one, poor poor baby! Day 4 was spent shopping for the girls! Wahoo! And the boys went golfing and to an outside plane museum, we had actually went to on Day 2 but I thought that it would be more enjoyable for Dan and Will to go with my Dad than me and my mom who could honestly care less about them. Boy was I right! While us girls were out and about we finally got Kayla's' ears pierced! Yep daddy finally caved!! She had been begging for months and months. I was ready for full out hysteria and she took it like a champ! The girls who were doing the piercing asked her how old she was and Kayla proudly told them she was "FOURTEEN" it was way to cute.

Days 5-8

On day 5 we started our trip up to LA so we could go to Disney Land! Once getting all settled in to our hotel everyone else started to show up. Uncle Derek, Auntie Angie and "baby" Caden, Mary Jo, Jade and Grant, the kids were so excited to see them all again. And after a quick trip to Target, I somehow lost Kaylas swimsuit, they all went swimming! In the cold water! Then we all had dinner, nothing to exciting that day. Day 6 & 7 were spent at Disney. And so the non stop walking started! Seriously we walked for 10 hours straight the first day at Disney and 12 the next day. Between both days we went on every ride we could, except somehow we missed the teapots! Oh well, better luck next time. MaKayla was a little, OK alot, freaked out on some of the rides, but the other two had a complete blast! And we won't forget the "kids at heart" Dan and Uncle Derek went on some big kid rides with Jade and Grant over on the California Adventure side. So did Aunt Angie, but after the Tower of Terror, I think she was all done! I didn't blame her one bit!! They were able to a bunch of different Disney characters through out their days, but nothing beats seeing them meet Micky for the first time! Will was kinda a stinker when it came to getting pictures with most of them, but we did get some. He really liked Pocahontas alot! He wouldn't let go of her!

On day 8 we all packed up and started back home. Since Dan and the kids have never seen the ocean my dad drove the coast line home, just for them. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins jumping. We also stopped at Pismo Beach and picked seashells. The kids had a blast running on the sand and getting chased by the waves. It was a super long drive so we got in kinda late.

Day 9 was spent resting and going to a few other spots mom wanted to show us before we left.
Day 10 we all cam home. Boy William was so happy to see some snow when we arrived back in Billings! I personally could of done with out the snow and cold weather!

Ok that's all the rest of the vacation. Sorry it took so long to finish it but I've been sick!

For the "Normal Family"

So since i can't find my camera cord yet I went on to find the link to my smaller stroller. Here it is: http://s.sears.com/is/image/Sears/04988720000?qlt=90,0&resMode=sharp&op_usm=0.9,0.5,0,0 . Ours is exactly the same minus the hanging bag on the side.

Talk to you later
