This whole week Brad had to go to work and I had to stay home. I needed something to occupy my time. So I cleaned up the yard. Ya I clean the house all the time but sometimes you need a change of scenery, plus it was nice most of the week. Bridget and I have been trying to clean up the yard since we have moved in. We had 8 months of work to do to the yard. The person that was supposed to take care of the ward mowed up dog toys so there where parts of dog toys to clean up, plus TONS of leaves that were never raked. We have so many trees around they should have cleaned them up to show the house. We took out 12, 32 gallon bags out of the front yard 2 months ago and there are still more leaves in the front yard. We also took 20, 32 gallon bags of leaves out of the back yard yesterday and we still have more leaves to rake up. Yesterday we finally put up our outdoor bar together. The movers where supposed to do it along with Ron and Bridget's desk. They kept complaining because movers that loaded the truck didn't put numbers on it or directions to put it together. Then they saw the bar and started complaining again so we told them that we would put it together. So we FINALLY put it together yesterday. It was a pain in the butt. We also put our tent thing over it. Trey loves it. He has his own little tent tough. It is only tall enough for him tom stand up and wide enough for both of us to sit in there. He loves to crawl in and out of it all the time.
Today we cleaned up the shed and raked most of the yard. We haven't bagged them yet so we don't know how many we are going to add to the collection.
This is random but I have been wanting to put pictures of Trey's room on here. I painted it but I still have a few touch ups here and there. But I will put pictures on here. I am going to redo his closet in a couple of months. I hate his closet right now because the are two tiny little shelves above his curtain rod. I can't put anything on them at all. I am going to make it VERY nice.
Also today we went to Wal-Mart to get Trey's WIC vultures and he started trowing a fit and when he did I saw a molar on the right side of his mouth. I was so excited. He hasn't even got the second set of teeth on the bottom yet. I knew they would be coming in soon because it was getting flat and he was chewing on his finger on both sides. Brad told my mom that we planned on trying to conceive. She didn't say much she kept agreeing with everything Brad said about wanting another one and and how we want them 2 years apart and so on.

Walking Master
For the past month Trey has been walking backwards and walking in circles backwards. I showed him one day I could walk backward. I didn't think he would pick if up now. I guess he thinks since he has "mastered" walking forward he can walk backward. I have also been skipping around the house every once in a while so he can see what that is. I know he wont be doing that for a while, but I didn't think he would walk backward now either. He is so funny, he is a really fast learner. If you show him something he usually picks it up the first time. He learned how to work the CD play but now he takes DVDs out of the DVD player on us now. He also LOVES turning off the TV because when the TV is on the button is green and he loves buttons. Especially if the light up.

Finally
On Brad's lunch I got a worried call. He was moved from the Harris Charleston building to the Harris Culver building. He didn't know what was going on or why they were moving him. They didn't tell him anything. They just told him that he was going to be in the Culver building starting Monday. He didn't know if he was doing a bad job, a good job or anything. He still doesn't quite know. He was really worried that we where going to be in separate buildings and so was I. We had told the recruiter that we wanted to work in the same building and the same hours so we can drive together. We where for sure we where going to split up. Then Brad called our recruiter and told her what was going on and she was just as confused. About an hour later my recruiter called me and told me that I was going to be going to work in the Culver building on Monday. I was so excited and relieved at the same time because I have not yet started and I wanted to get to work soon because we need money to pay bills. They don't pay themselves. Ya we got paid during training but when you have to buy diapers, wipes, soup, shampoo and conditioner, gas, and whatever else household item you need that adds up. I didn't even add in car payments, insurance, phone bill, and miscellanies bills. You can't pay all that with 1 weeks check. We can with this weeks check though. We where getting paid $7.50 during training. Not enough to live on right now. I can't wait until we both start bringing in money. Then we will have tons of money left over and we can "afford" another baby.
I can't wait to have another one.... I love being a mom, although it isn't always easy. I want to get my tubes tied after the next one but Brad keeps telling me that that isn't a good idea. He said what if we decide to have another. I said the only way I will have another child after I have the next one is if we have twins. I want to have an even amount of kids to eliminate the middle child. Plus I want an even amount of kids. If I end up only having Trey I would be just as happy. He is my world. I would give my up my life if it meant to keep him safe. But I need to but this tired little but to bed.

Babies
I have know for a LONG time I have wanted two kids. One boy and One girl... The thing is I think four years is a little to far apart. Some of my friends are having there second child. I know you shouldn't do what everyone else is doing and so on, blah blah blah. The other thing people say are you aren't ready yet... WHEN ARE YOU READY??? No one is really ready when you have a child, you need to expect the unexpected... I have Medicaid right now. They will cover me for a year. If I get pregnant they will extend it to six weeks after the baby is born. I will be fully covered and everything will be taken care of. Bridget is all for it because She thinks it would be better if we where on Medicaid while I had the baby. She also said we are already in baby mode. We don't want to get out of it and have to try to get back in it. The last thing she said was that she is getting older. She said that it a workout keeping up with Trey and she would rather have a baby now while she still has the energy to play with them. I also think it is a good idea that way we can get rid off all the baby stuff at once. Right now we are saving everything for the next baby but if we have the next one now we can have a garage sale next summer or whatever. I am looking forward to having another baby though... I miss how little Trey was and I can't wait to have a little one again. I am hoping for a girl but if I have a boy I have everything for him so I don't care either way.... If I'm not supposed to have another one now god won't let it happen but hopefully he will give me my girl.... He gave me my boy first... I am not looking forward to being sick all the time though...

Twilight
I have been wanting to watch Twilight for a while. When we went to Blockbuster last week when we checked out they asked if we wanted to put a $5 deposit on Twilight for the 21st. I said no I will get it when I get it. When we went to Blockbuster the Thursday before the 21st, which was a Saturday all the cardboard movies placer were there. On 4 of them there were a movie case that said rent Saturday. I was kinda upset because I knew I wasn't going to be able to see it for a while. I also thought that it would be sold out and people probably waited in line for the movie at Wal-Mart. Then on Saturday Brad had mentioned going to see if there were any left. I told him there was no use. That is when he said we can rent it off the TV. I said if they have it on there. IT WAS I WAS SO EXCITED!! Brad has good ideas that work sometimes. lol. Just kidding. I LOVED the movie. It was as good as they ramp and rave about. I would buy the movie. I would watch it again. I wish that a couple of things were different in the movie such as the ending...

Professional Hair Care
In Rochester there is no Malay's. I don't like sally's for hair color. I doesn't turnout the way Redken does. I have been searching forever for a place that sells professional products. When Brad and I went to fill out paper work to start working our recruiter told me her roots aren't usually that bad. She also told me that her stylist had canceled on her twice. I told her that I had been looking for a place that sold professional products. That is when she told me about a professional place in Henrietta. Henrietta in part of Rochester like Greece, which is where we live.
We met this girl in class that has never had steak in her life but once, five months ago. She said that it want that good. We asked her where she had the steak she said Red Lobster. I said that's the problem. Then I told her that she needed to come over this weekend and have a real steak cooked on the grill!! I have been wanting to finish cleaning the yard for the past week but I didn't feel like doing it after I get out of class. So I hopefully get it done today.

Easter
Today Brad and I got paid and we needed a few things for the store so of course we go to Wal-Mart. When you go to Wal-Mart they purposely put all the seasonal item right in front of the door. Brad knew I had been wanting to get Trey an Easter basket. We didn't get him one last year but I felt bad because I saw a my first Easter bib. I was sad. I am a sucker for that stuff. I wanted my first Valentine stuff this year too. I was upset. Anyway. Brad didn't want me to go over there because he thinks it is too early. Plus he didn't want to spend the time looking for something. I was going to get a basket that had a little lamb and bunny in a basket with a little candy but I saw something better. I saw this little bunny that sang, blushed, flopped its ears, AND wagged his fluffy tail. SOLD!!! Trey loved it. I know it is supposed to be a surprise but I like to know if he is going to really like it or not. I also wanted him to have a basket and a chick. We got him a blue basket to go with his blue bunny and chick with Happy Easter on its tummy holding an egg. In cant wait until I can get him the sports basket, that's what I got, and have him find eggs in the back yard. I think I am going to try it though because he till pick up his balls and put them back in the playpen where they go. I think if we show him to put them in the basket that is what he will do after walking around with the first few. I also got him the greatest card you could ever get your kid. It says on the front "For the One I Love at Easter". Open next flap "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8 (NIV) ). On the inside "God's love never changes... neither will mine. Happy Easter". It was the second card I read and I loved it. It was SO perfect!!! I can't wait until he can read and know meaning.... He will love it when he gets older. He might use that line someday... lol!!

Past Week
Last weekend was great!! Trey got to spend Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday out in the yard. Bridget and I worked out in the yard all weekend. She got sunburned but I didn't. She sat out before we started raking leaves and picking up trash that had blown around and into our neighbor's yard. We also cleaned a little patch of the neighbor's yard that was right on the other side of our fence. Our fence isn't that tall.
In the neighbors yard there are grape vines that grow on two old tree trunks in between two tall trees. That is where most of the garbage blew. There were also leaves piled up under the tree and on the base of the grape vines. When Bridget and I stared picking up large lims, sticks and logs, we realizes that there was more trash and debris under the leaves. We found TONS of wood that had rusted nails in them. We also found pretty much a gate with nails sticking out. The people that lived in our house before us had a dog and we found a few balls and a Frisbee. The Frisbee didn't have any damage but sun damage. We also found a fisher price skillet and a foam airplane. I am so glad to get that all out of there because if one of us stepped on one of those board it would not be a fun day. We didn't ask to do it we just did it but he saw us do it and he didn't say anything. I was just hoping he would be happy. I would if someone cleaned up my yard. We have a gate on the side fence that opens to his yard where the grapes are. We are the ones that have to look at it. He is about an acre away from our house. He can't see that. We also did some work on our yard. We kept some of the stick from his yard. He did say that was ok. We use the sticks for starter wood in the winter. We are going to collect them throughout the summer so we will have enough this winter. We bought the starter stick but it is just as easy starting it with twigs. We went out in the winter when the snow would melt a little and get stick to keep some for the next fire we started.
Trey got to play outside for a while but he kept running to the little creek/ stream we have on the side of our yard. Duck and geese go there along with the neighbors pond. Brad was giving the duck stail bread, while trey wanted to see the water and walk around by himself. He didn't like the fact that he can't play in the water because he LOVES water. I want to find a YMCA around here and get him swimming lessons. I wanted to do it in Lafayette but we were planning on moving and I couldn't make the whole class. I want to get him into something when he gets a little older. I think I want to get him singing lessons, because he likes to try to sing/ mumble with songs already. He loves to watch music videos on yahoo all the time. His two favorite songs are, first Chicken Fried, then Online. I have sowed him all kinds of music. He will dance to anything but he will only try to sing with certain songs like Chicken Fried. He is a character, I am telling you what. I thing he might sing before he talks. lol... Anyway, we ended up having to put him in the gate.
The same day I met some of the neighborhood kids. Some of the younger ones a couple houses down. I was wearing a cowgirl had while I was working and I was taking bags of leave out to the trash and a little girl stops in my driveway and looks at me and says "Your wearing a cowboy hat." I looked at her and smiled and said" no, it's a cowGIRL hat because I am a girl." She was quiet for a second and said "ya." Kids always play in our driveway our on the sidewalk in front of our house. Kids are so funny. The little girl kept talking and then asked where my backyard was and I told her that we had a big dog and she couldn't go back there. Her eyes got big and she took a big step back. That was when a 14 year old came out and was yelling at them. There are a few kids I would like to talk to because the think that the neighbor's house it a campground. There were two kids that actually said that. Then the next day there were two kids around 14 started walking over there and saw Bridget and I raking and stuff. They look at me for a few minutes while I stared them down and they turned around. They obviously know better. They also had been chasing deer the day before and that is where Brad hunts. That kind of stuff pisses me off and they will know it this summer. Let me tell you. People also have done donuts in the coda sac. Which is where we live. There are kids down here and MY son will be playing down here.
Brad and I started the training class through Yoh last Thursday. Which lasts until the next Friday. Brad and I were doing great in the class on Monday. On our written test Brad and I both got 100% on the first two. The third one I got a 90% and Brad got 100%. I missed two questions and when she showed me which ones I felt like an idiot. I knew them but I had shaded in the wrong box, yes I mean box, not circle. On Tuesday Brad and I both got an 88% on our test. The funny thing is when we went through them I got one right that everyone miss because it was a trick question. I read through the others and knew those answers too after she said them it hits you what the answer is. Thursday Brad got 100% and I got 98%. Then today on our final test which is to build a circuit board I got 100% on surface mounting and 96% through-hole mounting and 96% overall. Brad wont let me post what his score is because he is a baby. Just because it is a little lower than mine. He passed just to tell everyone. We don't have to go in tomorrow because we got our test board on today. Now we go to Yoh and sign a one year contract and set up our direct deposit.
We start on Monday. Yay!! I am so excited!! I am so sick an tired of not having a job. Plus I won't be doing the same thing everyday. I also won't have customers to come up to me and piss me off. I get to sit and do whatever I need to do. It all depends on what they need built. Like I said before it is fun and it is like having art class all day!! We will be working from 6am to 2:30 pm Monday through Friday. I like having set schedules. You can plan things better.
I feel really bad for Trey because for the past week he hasn't slept the same. He has been getting up more but I think that is because he hasn't been taking naps. That may sound funny but when he is over tired during the day he doesn't sleep well during the night. He has been confused about Bridget getting him up in the morning instead of mom or dad. He is so excited when we get home though. He slept good last night and today so hopefully he will sleep well tonight. I am going to bed now because I worked all day and have been up since 5:30am.

Class
Class started yesterday but I was way to tired to write about it. Yesterday was kind of boring because all we did was watch videos, worksheets, and a quiz, I got a 92, (I missed 2) and Brad missed 3. I don't know what percentage that is I am not going to figure that out. I thought it was going to be a problem that I had no experience doing any thing she was teaching. When classed started we went around the room saying what experience we had and only two people had any experience. That made me fill tons better.
Today we soldered for the first time. I REALLY like it. It is like a piece of art that will be in every military personnel's hand. lol... just kidding, but it is true. It is kind of like art. You are the one solders it a certain way. It is like fingerprints. There are no two alike. You will solder different than anyone else. We soldered wires to parts, which is pretty hard. You have to have it tight enough, can't get the rubber up by the metal, and can't use to much solder. What I really like today was working on circuit board. Which is extremely hard. You have you know the parts, which a lot of them look the same. You also have to know which side is negative which side is positive, and put it in the right way. When you make a circuit board you have to fallow a certain guideline or it will not work. For instance, when you put the wire through one of the hole you bend it flat to the board and cut it to 1 mm in length. It can not go over 1 and 1/2 mm or it will not meat standards. Then you solder it. We had to work with the smallest parts anyone has ever seen. There was one part that looked like an eraser but it was only 1 mm long. There were parts smaller than that. We had to use a scope to put then on along with thing that looked like little chips. We had to solder all of the little legs that were less than 1 mm wide. It was hard to get it perfect too. When you are working on a circuit board you have to be grounded. You have to wear this strap on your wrist so you don't shock the board and burn the circuit. We have to put one together for a test next week and we have a test Monday. I hope it all goes well. In the beginning of the class today I was getting done so fast. I was all go, go, go, this morning. I hated having to sit and wait for everyone to be done because I wanted to do something else. I the work place I won't have to wait on anyone because there is always something to do. You just go to the next circuit board after you finish one. There were a few people that needed a little help but they have never solder before. That is what the class was for. There are 8 people in the class with up and there is a boy that is 19, same age as me, and his Birthday is June 28TH and mine is June 21ST. There is also a girl that is 20 but the others are 30 and older. There is a girl named Amy and a guy named Paul in my class and reminds me of my Amy and Paul in Lafayette. I miss them!! But I can't wait to start actually working on my own. I am too excited!!!

Great Weather
Well we are gaining a little hope that the winter will end. We have had the worse weather in year throughout the whole United States. Virginia even got three inches of snow last week and they never get snow. This year in Rochester alone we have gotten feet of snow at a time. That hasn't happened in years. But this week has been great. we have had 50 degree weather and we got to take our little nature bug out to play for a while. He has loved being outside since the day he was born. When it was worn of course... But if he was getting fussy we would take one step out on the back porch and he would shut up. He loved looking at the trees and swinging in the patio swing.
The other day we took Trey out in the front and let him run around for the first time. He loved it he fell a few times but didn't get hurt... What do you expect from someone who has never walked on unlevel grounds. My little sister's mom Josie got him a bike that had a handle bar on it like a stroller. That way Trey can learn how to ride and stay with us on a walk or something. Well we got it out and I wouldn't push him in it yet because he isn't ready but I let him sit on it. He was trying to figure it out before he even got on it. He was checking the tires and pushing it all over the driveway. Which is an 8 car driveway so he has no reason to go near the road later on. I finally put him on it because it looked like he was trying to get on it himself. It was not going to happen, his legs where to short. He sat on there and turned the handle bars, laughed and screamed as loud as he could. Brad vacuuming out his truck and stopped to ask if that was Trey screaming. He is nuts about being outside. He was playing in the grass and every time he fell on his butt he would point at me to pick him up because he didn't Wat to put his hands in the damp soil. He would pick at it and give me sticks and other stuff on the ground. He just didn't want to put his whole hand in the mud.
Later that day we ended up cooking out. We have a two level deck. One level is right outside the kitchen and Bridget's bedroom. The other in outside the garage. Trey was playing one the lover level outside the garage and he wanted to climb the stairs. I sat on them so he couldn't climb them hoping he didn't see the stair that lead down to the basement door. He didn't, he saw the ones that lead out to the yard. Which was fine because I was going to walk him out there anyway. He stopped at this little tree we have in a flower pot thing attached to our deck. He saw a little stick and held it out to me then tried to put it back on the tree... lol... He makes me laugh. He didn't want to go in that day either. He had so much fun. He also slept so good that night. I bet he will sleep great this summer. We are planning on going to Virginia this summer and visiting Brad's aunt, uncle, and the beach... lol!! I am also getting a car when we go. I am going to trade in my car for a 2009 Honda Pilot. I was going to get a 2009 Trail Blazer but Brad's uncle works for Honda. Plus this is more of a luxury SUV anyway. There are more seat and more room. We are going to start traveling in my beauty to IN and where ever else we go.... I can't wait!!
Brad and I start class on Thursday at Yoh. We will be in class on Thursday, Friday, and the whole next week. Then we will be placed in a job depending on what we are best at. We kinda got a leg up because Ron knows the supervisor that we will be working for and he gave up pre-test to work on and study. I can't wait to be making my own money again.
We got back on WIC. Which really helps. We get fruit and veggies on the vouchers in NY. I don't know it they do in IN because we never got that far. I have never heard of it being on there though. I thought that was weird. They also give you a sippy cup, regular cup, portion plate, and a container that you can put snacks in that sits in a diaper bag.... I though that was cool..

My Whole Day!!
I spent my whole day on the computer pretty much. Everyone has been sick the past few weeks yet it has been busy. I needed to catch up. I caught up on myspace and here. When we 1st got home we had to go to the doctors fro Trey. I do laundry but I didn't feel like doing all that laundry form going to Lafayette. Then all of Trey's clothes and toys had to be put away, I didn't want to do that either. WE also had to go to the Licence Branch to get plates and our license. That was fun. Brad was building a toy box/ hope chest for Trey. I had to wait for that to be done so I could straighten up his room. While he did that I hung shelf in his room for his Noah's Ark, which is glass, that I LOVE. I bought it at the Feast of the Hunter's Moon. I have been waiting to put that up. I had to wait until I painted it. I have to put pictures on here because I am very proud of myself!! I did it all by myself!! Brad got the box/chest done, but we are keeping it in the living room right now because there is no room in his room until we get rid of the changing table. I think that will be soon though.
I am trying to get Trey completely off the bottle. I want to do it by 15 months. He takes a sippy during the day but I still rock him to sleep with a bottle. I tried to rock him to sleep with a sippy but he kept screaming. I eventually gave in after 15 minutes of him screaming and not wanting his sippy. He will also refuse his sippy when he is tired and wants to go to bed so you know when it is time for bed. Like I said before he wants it his way or no way.
Trey also does this headbanging thing. He hits his head on EVERYTHING on PURPOSE. Why!!??? He hits his mouth on everything too. I have NEVER see anyone ever do that. He thinks it's funny. I think he is going to hurt himself but you can't stop him. You tell him no he will look at you and keep doing it. He is crazy. He also likes to bite any kind of fabric. Mostly blankets. He doesn't care if your toes are under there either.
I am also worried about how Trey doesn't talk like other kids his age. Ya he says mom, dad, baba, and pawpaw. He makes sound like "f", "g", and a few others but my friends daughter is a few months older and she says tons of things. Like when she saw Trey at his birthday party she called Trey a baby. But Trey started walking about 10 and1/2 months and she took her 1st step at 1. I know your not supposed to compare your child to someone else's but everyone does it. Trey is very advanced physically but like I said he doesn't talk (words that is).He does babble stuff. I guess that's ok for now. As long as he responds, makes noises, and cries when he is hurt then he is alright. I know he is ok I just worry like every other mom. The worst thing is when a mother finds out that there is something wrong with there child and mom's try to prevent, or catch it before it becomes something terrible. That's what mother's do, worry.

1st Haircut!!
I made his Mohawk a little wider so that if we didn't want to spike it, it would look like a normal haircut!! I also trimmed the top down a little...
Work
Brad and I have been looking for jobs since we have moved to NY. We have applied everywhere but the fast food places. We finally get a callback at a place call Yoh, which works for Harris. Harris is a Company that works for the Military. The make circuit boards and what not. Well anyways we got the call after I had already made plans for Trey's Birthday. I had to call or Text everyone I invited to change it. We went in on the 18TH of February, the date that was scheduled, for paperwork and a drug test. Our recruiter told us when we got there that she had moved the paperwork and drug testing date back and she had forgotten to call. Which didn't bother me that much because she got us in and we where heading out afterwards. Then while we were filling out paperwork she told us that the classes were pushed back from the 23RD February to the 26TH of February. Which kinda made me mad because I sent out invitations and everyone knew when it was but then I had to reschedule and call, text, and E-mail everyone that the party has been changed. I was going to spend a week in Lafayette and a day in Ohio with my grandma. Which only ended up being a night in Ohio and a few days in Lafayette. Which was fine I guess because Trey got sick, but that's not the point. We also got a call while we were in Lafayette from the recruiter that the class was pushed back once again!! This time it would be in the beginning of March. She told us before we lest to call when we got back in NY. We did tons of times no answer and no call back. Brad's dad asked if we were going to be in the call on the 2ND, which was the next morning. We told him no because our recruiter hasn't gotten back with us yet. On the 2ND in the afternoon she calls us and tells us that the next call will most likely be on the 12TH. She said she would call the next day. There was no call so we called and the front desk said she was out of the office that day. Which upset me. Then she called today and we missed the call and she left a message saying the class was next week. We called her back and we got her voicemail so hopefully she calls back before next week rolls around. I feel so lazy without a job. I have never gone more than a couple of weeks without a job!! I am glad Trey and I got to spent more time together though because all I did the first 8-9 months of his life was work and go to school. I was gone pretty much from 6am to 11pm everyday until I graduated from McCutcheon. Then I was gone from 7:30am to 11pm until I graduated form Christina and CO.. Then I was with him all day and then dad was gone. I am very thankful for all the family time that we all got to have, but we have to pay bills somehow!!
