Ya Ya Ya!

Dude, seriously it has been too blasted long! LOL! BUT, things are beyond crazy and we have been all over and that is my family...me? Yeah around the world and back! But that is another post. So, the things to catch up on are: Disneyland (waiting for pictures), student of the month and other shiz.

So, since I have pictures of Student of the Month that is what we are going to discuss. This is Brileigh being honored at the Queen Creek Town Council meetings. Brileigh is in first grade at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, she was student of the month in October and was chosen by her principal to be the representative for her school at the town meetings. The crazy face man is Dalton. He is a ham.

More to come...sooner than later, I promise.

YO!

So - waaassssuuupppp! Funny and crazy, things have been busy and kept me to far gone in my posts! I have pictures and I have new and exciting funny stories, but we recently found out that #4 is on the way! DUDE! WOOOHOOOO! Definatley a pleasant suprise, and Charai has been soooo sick so - it has kept me away from the computer at night. We have medication but this has by far been the sickest Charai has felt - it is no fun for her. BUT! We are close to the 2nd Trimester and that is usually when her sickness takes a hike. More to come and I will get some cool pictures soon.

Checking in

So, I am going to add a couple of pictures so you can see the kids and how they are growing. Look at bitty - he has been eating well!

Hello!?!?!

So, I got an email from Lindsay about how I have not been posting lately. It has been crazy and that is my excuse.

I recently - or not so recently (Feb) - started to get contacted by a head hunter. i have been in the flooring industry and outside sales for 7 years and i have been contacted a lot lately. BUT, with the stuff that was happening with "bitty" (Davis) I have been reluctant to make a move - just messy with insurance and pre-existing conditions and whatever else could possibly go wrong. Anyway, there was something different about this company and the weird thing is that this new opportunity was outside of my flooring industry - I met the boss and he was extremely cool. The company is solid - Stanley Works (the parent company to the tool company) - Global and fortune 100. The commission structure is extremely good. So, I bounced - i have been in and out of town and all over the place. I loved my last company - the product and the people - but just not the job for me.

I have a car and a gas card and a huge expense account (golf for FREE!!!!) - but the best thing is the people I work with and for. I am out racing the streets to appointments and out!

The REAL best part is I have seen my kids more! That is the reason and I feel soo good about that.

BY the way - Davis - or as we have been calling him lately Bitty (like the Alan Jackson song) has made it back to the charts and is still as happy as ever!

We have some very good friends in our ward - they have a little guy who has been diagnosed with Leukemia - I have the blog spot for him. We are doing a ward fast for him BUT feel free to join us in this fast on Thursday.

WHEW!!!

So, this week was crazy - a lot of interesting things happening or as I sometimes snappening! Well - our little Davis is doing very good. He is such a great guy - he just got tested for Cystic Fibrosus. Came back that he is normal. This has been such a relief...you have no idea. It was my Abraham moment - thinking about my little guy and having CF...crazy. I will write more on this later but my thoughts are soooo jumbled with elation and exhaustion. Thanks for the prayers, support and love...it meant the world.

Brileigh had a dance workshop on Monday, these people from CA came out set up a workshop for hip hop...it was the cutest thing ever. Lock and Pop and work it white grrrl! She is a crack up - something that I forgot to post last week - on St. Patty's day. We went to McDonald's - Daddy wanted Matta's but Dalty and Brileigh outnumbered me - so, at Micky Dee's there was a Father and Son that had put the spray in hair color green - Brileigh looked back and looked at me with HUGE eyes and said "Dad, that is very very very very very very very creative!" Loved it and lover her.

Dalton is always a crack up - poor guy is the third wheel to most of his sisters stuff, but he is a trooper and does good. He is all about an iPod - he wants an iPod and a Phone - so he can call everyone he knows. We went to a reception for my cousin and I brought him with me - we went in and he walked in and gave Aunt Candy a HUGE hug and as she was hugging him she asked if he knew who she was - he said no and smile his crooked little smile - melts your heart I swear.

Charai is good. Feeling much better after yesterdays results. She is a trooper and a hard worker...and she's really hot too!

Love ya!

Bri

What a week?

Soooo, the dealio with the other job wasn't as cool as it sounded - honestly. I want out and bad but not to where I am out of town 4 days out of the week. I love my family and would miss them way to much for that to be an option.

BUT, I do feel better and somehow feel renewed - even in the current position that I have. It is a great company - great product - great people. I just hate my drive and the fact that I have way to much to do in a day that my hours are usually 6am to 6pm. Makes the money that i make a little less - $2 an hour plus tips - bleh.

So - my littlest has been below the charts - dropped off - not gaining enough weight. We have been having tests like crazy on him and Charai took him in yesterday and in one week he has gained 1 full lb and an ounce. The DR. didn't say anything but we are stoked.

Love ya - BA

SUP Peeps?

Soooo - here is my attempt @ a blog. I love checking out my sisters and figured it would be a great way to keep a journal of crazy and fun things - also keep in touch. I wrote in my journal for my entire mission - if I missed a day it was just a day, since I have been home...not at all! So here we go!

I missed Daltons Soccer game and Brileighs dance recital - for work - my Dad never missed ANYTHING for work and he owned his own business. Made me think and reflect and re-evaluate what I am doing. I like to work and I work hard, but this is getting bad - stressing to the point of sickness. I have options and will probably exercise them shortly. We have been praying hard and will have an answer soon. I will keep you posted! LOL.

It is late and I have to wake up early - love ya and good night - BA
