exercise works dang it

well i have to write this down because it may never happen again in my whole life. yesterday i bought a skirt that was a size--6! ok that may not seem like a big deal to those who have been blessed to be little but let me tell you from my neck of the skeletal structure woods this is major. the best part is, all i'm really doing is exercising, and not even a crazy amount. i mean that is big! anyway, its exciting to see that all those weights and all that time on the tred mill is actually doing something...wow.

the real life of a brady housewife


those are pics of Jade getting into the flour, getting into my make up, finding pads and making an art project....alana getting into everything. our house is a mess for a reason, kids...and i hate cleaning up after them every moment of my life. thought you would all enjoy seeing the normal days in our house.

updates

wow. since i got my new phone that has the internet on it i dont even come by the comp anymore....so i haven't posted for a while. lets see...the girls are great. Jade is learning more phrases everyday her new one lately is 'come help me out'. i think its darling. she found a jar of nail polish brought it over to me and stuck out her hands and feet, 'mommy, help me out.' She loves everything with wheels. Thank heavens for cameron. She loves when the car goes fast even. Everytime our neighbors come out with something with wheels- tricycle, car, bike- she MUST get on it. so we went to toys r us and got her trike...we got her a princess one that she rode all over the store, she loved it. granted not as much as the battery operated Jeep that costs $300 ... We get the bike home, she is jumping with glee, she is riding it all over the house. we take it outside and....no intrest. seriously none. She loves to pick out her own clothes, so if she see her wearing something really funny that may have been a day when she was insistant on her clothing choices- either that or her daddy dressed her. kidding cameron. She is super fiesty though. i honestly feel like i'm raising a teenage that has the vocab of a two year old. when we talk to her, if she doesn't want to hear you then she will just stand there, maybe even turn around, staring...the eyes may glance sideways at you, but otherwise you do no exsist. when she does something wrong either she goes as fast as she can to keep being naughty or she breaks down into an emotional mess. sometimes i want to give her away. never seriously but sometimes...
Alana, alana, alana. my keep baby. she is so much more brave than Jade is. i mean when we put her in the bath her sticks her face right in the water! over and over! she climbs onto everything. she is already climbing up the stairs- she cant walk. she loves to be with her sister. even when jade is mean to her- which is often. about two weeks ago i was in the bathroom putting things away. alana was standing up holding onto the toilet and jade was standing on top of the toilet. suddenly a scream, i turn around and scoop up alana- thinking that jade kicked her or something, i dont even look at alana, just start talking to jade...alana wont stop crying. i turn around and blood is pouring down her face. obviously i start freaking out. and that is the moment that jade wants all my attention. anyway lots of tears later and three dentist visits- Alana fractured the bone that encased her tooth. thankfully she didn't damage the actually tooth at all which is a miracle. The doctor set the tooth no pain killers, nothing, he set it and held it as i held my screaming child) the next two times that alana saw that doctor she starting crying immediately, poor thing. anyway there was only a 10% chance this was going to work- if it didn't the tooth would have to be pulled. Cameron gave her two blessings and her tooth is fine! i mean really! it is sticking out a little so she looks a little like that shark in finding nemo. we are so happy! Yesterday for the first time she let go while of me while standing up and just stood unassisted for a while! she will walk before summer! that is really all i need, because then her knees and hands wont be disgusting. she is kind of a momma girl, which is a good balance with jade who doesn't like me.
so the kids are good, growing and good.
cam and i have started a new exercise program in the mornings, it is great. the only problem is that we want to go running and only have a single jogging stroller. so if you have a single jogging stroller or even a double jogging stroller you would like to part with, please let me know. we have new plans about what cam is going to do for the next couple of years in his life but i wont divulge in case we once more change them as that seems to be our favorite past time. cameron will graduate in aug. amazing. then maybe i can go back to school and finish, wouldn't tha be amazing. anyway i would continue in the updates but alana is crying now.
