Well on Friday I went to pick Chad up from work because we were going to surprise him and take him on a picnic at the park. There was a funny smeel and the radiator fan melted and the motor died. That a nightmare. We made it to the dealership and had to catch a bus with all of our things and get home with the two kids that way. The car will not be completed until Monday which stinks for us.
We talked to the Relief Society President and they are going to try to get someone to help us pick up the kids if Chad can't pick up the car at lunch. Needless to say this adds to the already high stress level and the kids are feeling the effect too. It will be so nice at the end of this week when I can just stay home and take care of the kids and not have to worry about the stress of work.

hmmmm
More details will come soon. I am counting down as I will be quitting my job next week. Then I can spend lots of time with my kids and build my prepaid legal business. Things have been really stressful. I am not sleeping well and with the added stress I am nauseated every morning and have bad stress signs. I can't wait for it to be over.

Bad Week
More details will be coming but there are some issues with work and I am compiling some things and will be resigning and becoming a stay at home mom. I have been under so much stress this week that I am lucky to keep one meal a day down and I am getting very little sleep. This is really taking a toll on me and so even though we will be able to qualify for WIC, I am planning on staying home with the kids.
We will not have a car but hey that is ok because it will only be for a little while. Right now my kids are more important. I will be working on building my prepaid legal business so that I can bring in some extra income and still work less hours. That will be nice and it is nice to have a lawyer in my back pocket for when ever I need one.

This weekend
Today I cut Brexten and Chad's hair and Cambria and I got ours cut at the salon. Now will all stay cool in the summer sun. It is easy to use the clippers on the guys but it is too hard to cut my own hair and Cambria doesn't still still enough for me to cut hers as much as it was cut due to a scissor episode so now it is fixed.
Yesterday we enjoyed some time at a park having a BBQ with some friends from our ward that we had been invited to. We all had a lot of fun. The kids just took off for the play ground and were more interested in that than eating.
This morning Cambria and I dressed up as pioneers and went to the primary activity. There were games. stories, and music. She had a lot of fun learning about pioneers while I helped out with one since I am a teacher in the primary.

Crazy
We took Brexten to the movies on Tuesday. We get to the car and all of the people that went to the Reel soccer game were getting into their cars. We wait in a line for about 20 minutes and then this Mexican guy gets in his car with this young girl and they sit there for about 2 minutes. He then decides to back out and turn around so that he can be let in. I have nothing against Mexicans as I am part Mexican but this guy was the reason to a T that Mexicans get a bad reputation.
The jerk pulls up and has his windows down and is blaring some teeny bopper hip hop music. He then proceeds to almost hit me and the car in front of me. He was only 1-2 inches away. Chad starts chewing him out and the guy is just being a jerk. I was about ready to drag him out of his car and set him straight right in front of his trashy girlfriend. I held my tongue but I wanted to tell him to get his butt back across the border.
He then gets in front of me and I let him so that I would not have to deal with a new car seat and all and being even more pissed to be in an accident and then he keeps bumping the breaks to try and get me to hit him so I honked my horn at him. He is so lucky I held back as he really pissed me off. It takes a lot to get me mad but when my child's safety is in jeopardy the cobra snake comes out and watch out because you might get bit.

Crazy
So yesterday we went to the Cheesecake Factory for Aunt Camille's birthday. It was a lot of fun and it was the first time I had ever been. The servings were huge. I tried their low carb cheesecake and it was really yummy. I also ordered a Godiva Chocolate one to bring home for the next day. Needless to say Chad left it in the car and so now there goes my chocolate cheesecake. I am so bummed.
Cambria is spending the next 2 nights with Nanna Ali. She is so excited to go and have some nanna time since she was sick last time we got together. Brexten is enjoying one on one time with mommy and daddy but I think he is missing Cambria not being here as they share a room.
This week will be kind of busy so we will see what happens. Work has been a little crazy too with the changes that have been going on and so it has been interresting adjusting to the changes.
Brexten has been driving us a little crazy as he is being a little bit agressive with other people and he bit Chad the other night. He is also having a hard time focusing on things for more than a minute which he should be able to do. Hopefully he will calm down a little with this one on one time and the redirection he has gotten lately. I think as soon as he is old enough he will need to go and be tested for ADD/ ADHD.

New Chapter
Today I decided I need to start doing better with this blog so I think I will catch every one up!!!!
We moved to Murray Utah in February of 2010. We really enjoy being in the city and being closer to family. We have been able to get together with our families and see them after being away for about 6 years. We are so blessed that I am able to work from home and still get to spend time with Cambria and Brexten. The only time they are gone durring the day is when they go to preschool and see their friends in the morning.
We have enjoyed the family reunions that we have been to this year and for the time our children have been able to get to know their cousins. It has been so much fun. Cambria will be turning 5 this year and is so excited for her birthday.
We are excited to be getting ready for a wedding for Stan and Melisa in January on the 15th. I will finally not be out the only girl with all brothers andit will be so nice to get a new sister. I can't wait. It has been a lot of fun skyping and getting to know Melisa even though she is in Oregon.
More updates will come as things happen in our lives so stay tuned
