Camping & Chomper& P90x

I hope everyone is doing well. Life seems to be getting much more busy these day's. It has been a couple of weeks since I last wrote, so I am not sure were to begin. Finally Ashley is starting to get extra work at the hospital, which like I have said many times God has a plan, and it is him that unfolds it at the right time. We have been super busy working around the house cleaning things up and getting things in order. It is funny how stuff just accumulates in doubles. I keep threatning to put up a sign saying basement sale everything must go, but then come to my senses and realize that's probably not the best idea. I really do have plans for a yard sale coming soon, and what I don't sale I am giving to good will I am sure someone out there can use the stuff we no longer can or don't use. We are in the process of refinancing our home, to get in on the lower intrest rate so we had an appraiser come out on the 19 and now we are just waiting.

Ive been so preoccupied with getting my P90x workouts in I have neglected my blog, so sorry guys. On March 05 Bryant began sitting up on his own, he has become such a big boy, I just can't get over how fast he is growing he can't bring himself to a seated position but he can sit up if he is placed in that position. He has a pretty good language so far, he says mom,dad,bay,no-no-no that is his newest little thing, it was cute at first then it came to me that he probably is being told no more than anything.

Brayden has become obsessed with holding Bryant he wants to hold him feed him carryhim he will even wake him up just to talk to him. One day while I was busy working on cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen Brayden decided to gather all of his monster trucks for Bryant to play with him. That is a big accomplishment since those are his favorite trucks. I took a couple of pictures from them playing.
The days have started to be longer and the weather has been so wonderful that during the day me and the boys are staying outside for the most part. I took of pictures of the boys doing some of there favorite things we do outside






Brayden & Bryant ready for a walk

March 21 Brayden made his own pizza he was so excited, It was all homemade, he absolutly loved it so much that he ate the whole thing but one piece. I included a couple of picture of him putting the spots on the pizza he never says pepperoni, just calls them spots and cheese. I am so glad that he enjoys cooking with me I love having him help me in the kitchen we always have a good time.

me & the boys went to the park a few weekends ago I took a bunch of picture.

This is not the greatest picture of the boys, but wanted something to have for this super fun occasion. Bryant got to ride on the swings for his first time well he was in my lap so I don't know if you really could count that as his first time, but I did he didn't appear to be having a whole lot of fun.

On March 23 Ashley came home from work and we headed to Bear Creek to take the boys on there very first camping trip needless to say we were all full of excitement. I made sure I took alot of pictures to remember this occasion. We brought the boat with us to fish and that was Bryant's first real boat ride.I think he enjoyed the ride somewhat but he seriously didn't like the life jacket. Ashley caught two fish 1 crappie and 1 bass we didn't keep either one. Ashley was so proud of Brayden he ask Ashley to hold the fish, and he did with no complaint. He even threw it back in the water when Ashley explained to him that it was too small. Bryant feel asleep on the boat while we were fishing. Bryant was being very fussy because he was cutting teeth actually it all started on March 20 but the whole time things had been getting worse poor guy. After about an hour of fishing we decided to go back to the campground. Ashley got the camp stove set up and made us all some Hot chocolate, then some hot dogs, and made Brayden a grilled cheese. After we all finished our lunch early dinner we looked for firewood. Not long after our search Ashley decided to go ahead and chop down a tree that was already broken and certain to die. Ashley let Brayden use a hax saw to cut the tree up and he did a pretty try but it was hard to cut this tree. Ashley worked a while with the Ax and then I insisted that I wanted to help since Ashley's back had been bothering him. I have no plans to ever become a lumber jack wow that is seriously hard work. We finally got some fire wood together and Brayden decided to ride his tricycle until it got dark, he would go to the top of the hill and go quickly down it. When the sun started to set Ashley began to build the fire. Brayden helped as much as he could and ended up burning his little finger(I have pictures of the event) which put him in Ashley's lap to go to sleep and Ashley got up and put him in the seat to sleep for a little bit. Brayden was awaken to roast marshmallows I think he ate one and fed me the rest, wow it has been a long time since I had eaten sugar. We then decided to do some fishing off the back of the boat,with no luck, so back to the camp fire only to determine we need to go to bed.

Bryant was not happy about having to wear a life jacket...

Brayden eating his longjohn for breakfast while Bryant watching on wanting a little piece...Our camping trip was a big success it ended up being a little too windy and we left earlier than we had planned the next day.

While I was getting ready to take the boys to the store, Bryant was playing in the floor and ended up falling asleep this was the first time he has ever put himself to sleep on his own.

On April 4 I took the boys to the Air show in Northport, it was an awesome experiance. It was such a beautiful day, and that made the drive wonderful. It was very crowded, but everyone was so nice, that it wasn't bad at all. We had to park a long distance from the airport and I was wise enough to bring my stroller so that wasn't a big deal so we walk till we found a spot in the grass outside the fence and watched the planes fly. Bryant got upset and seemed like there was nothing I could do to make him happyr guy. Brayden decided he was hot and thirsty and hungry I should have planned more according but just didn't think to bring a cooler or even stop someplace and get food before we got there, needless to say Brayden didn't want to stick around he was ready to leave. Brayden insisted that he wanted to eat soup and crackers from the chinesse place near our house. He just didn't understand that it would take to long to get there that we had to eat some place else. We ended up at Zaxby's one of his favorite places to eat, but of course he is a very opinionated three year old he said I not like this place. After a few minutes of disagreing I ordered his usual once he got it he said oh I like this place, I said thats what I told you and of course another disaggrement arose he said no that's what i told you. I hope you all enjoy the pictures I took from the show. I wish I could have seen the whole thing.

Such a serious look, he just wasn't a happy little camper, poor guy I can't believe he has three teeth coming in at the same time, it was just last week his other two starting coming in.

On March 27 Bryant decided to stop rolling every place he wanted to go and now he pulls his body around on the floor its the cutest thing, I just can't believe how fast time is flying I am cherishing every moment that I get to spend with both boys.

I don't know how many of you are following my weight loss but as of today I am on day 30 of the P90x and this program is serious bussiness.For those who may not know about this system it is a series of videos that really make you work. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until I started this program I am ashamed looking at my before pictures. I don't seem to be dropping the pounds like I was at the begining of January but I have started to fit into my clothes much better. I must warn you guys the pictures are very rough,I am in my swimsuit, and unfortunantly there is no way to conceal my more to love me!!!
