Look who's 5 months old today...
Big Brady's almost completely potty trained. Almost three years old, but hes almost there. NO MORE DIAPERS!! Max told him if he goes a whole week without going in his underpants than he will buy him a fishing pole. He's has three more days to go.
Daddy's just working all the time and Mommy's staying up way too late on myspace. Tonight's moving night, High School Musical 2!! Have a good weekend!

House of Bugs
The other night I was shutting all the lights and I saw something on the floor so, I turned the light back on and it was a HUGE, MONSTEROUS, GIANT, BROWN, HAIRY SPIDER!!!!! And I had to crush! It was so big, like the size of a half dollar including the legs. The next day Jake and Brady were playing outside and Jake came running in and he said there was a whole bunch of wasps flying around. I went outside to see and this is what I found.
The exterminator, aka me, went and got the bug spray and I told the kids to stay inside and had Jake stay at the door so if the wasps started chasing me he could shut the door behind me. I made it, unstung! Then, were getting ready to leave and I find this little guy by the front door! So I sprayed around the whole house for bugs.
But today when I came home from work J&B showed me the new little friend they found. A darned CRICKET!
To many bugs. I think Brentwood might be the bug capital of the world. Anyhow, on to better things, look at some of the cute things I found over the weekend.
Cute shows from Kohl's only $5.99. Whata bargain for me.
New lotion from the Gap it'd called Islandhop. I figured since a flight to the Bahamas is to long with three kids this will have to be the next best thing.
Pretty Martha Stewart flowers from Michaels. I'm making these for Claire's room. And I got these huge balls to hand from the ceiling. It's going to be so pretty.
I also got my new Sugar Shop purse. It's so cute and the inside has all kinds of pockets for cell phones and toys and whatever junk I might have in my purse.
One last funny little thing, we were driving home and the conversation went:
Jake: "Mom, can I have a new nickname?
Mom: "Sure, like what?
Jake: "Mom I want to change my name to ROCK YOUR WORLD"
Mom: "Oh, okay."
Jake: "Wait Mom, I want it to be COOL HANDSOME MOTORCYCLEMAN!"
Brady: "But why, Jakey?"
Jake: "Since."
So, that is how Jake refers to himeself, as cool handsome motorcycle man. I kind of preferred the blue eyed handsome guy. Where does he come up with these things? My crazy kids! Okay, I'm outta here!

One more camping story
Max had taken the kids to the store to pick out a toy and Brady picked silly putty. When Brady gets a new toy he carries it around for a couple of days. Nobody else can play with it or touch it. So, on Friday night Claire, Jake and I went to bed first and than Max and Brady went later. WELL, Saturday morning I wake up and come out of the tent and Brady's playing and I see what looks like a big bald spot on the back of his head!! The first thing I thought was Max had woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally stepped on Brady's hair and pulled a big chunk out. But than I thought Brady would have for sure woken us up if that happened. So, I get closer and it is a huge chunk of SILLY PUTTY stuck in his great long hair AND I WAS NOT cutting it out. I tried to get it out and it was hurting him and he didn't want to sit still so I gave him a little break. Than I came back with the hand soap! It worked pretty good, most of the putty came out. He still has a little bit left in his hair and it's Wednesday and I don't even care because I'm not cutting his hair. He just wouldn't be our little Brady with short hair.

Happy Monday!!!
We also told spooky ghost stories. Big Jake wasn't afraid though. He kept saying "Daddy, that's not scary. Tell a REEEALY scary story!" We had a great time, were going again in September.

Happy Saturday!
Claire had her four month check up. She weighs a big 17.5 lbs and she's 26 inches. We've got a big girl! She just started rolling over. She can't turn herself back the other way yet! She's a really sweet, mellow baby. We really need that with other two crazy guys!
Jake's starting preschool on Tuesday (that's why we got shoes). He gets to go on Monday and meet his teachers and pick out his cubby. He's feeling a little nervous so we'll see how that goes.
Oh, and I was furniture shopping for Claire's room and I came across the best little scrapbook store in Fremont, it's called Picture Me Perfect. Great store!! So much fun!
Have a great weekend!
P.S. Thanks Jimmy, I turned the shoe pic!

Back for more
and we've got pictures!!!!
mom's hunka-hunka of burning love!
Jake the little dare-devil
OK, I can't figure out how to straighten the pics! But hey, they're there!
Aunt Kenny and the kids are gone. We had a good time while they were here. Jake and Brady miss Ally and Gavin. While they were here they went waterskiing and they jump off the rocks. They also went to see Transformers. Mom took some family pics. I started a myspace page also. I'm becoming so computer savvy. Scary, isn't it?
More to follow.......

Very First Blog!!!
This is so exciting!! Now all the fam can keep up with us! Soon I'll learn how to post pictures and we'll be in business. Darn if I'm not just sitting here wondering what to write and I just remembered I forgot Cole's b-day again! What a bad sister! I forgot Grandma Smith's also! Too many kids! Aunt Kenny's coming from Indy this weekend. That should be fun! Claire's four months old now. She can roll over like a pro. The blue-eyed-handsome-guy, as Jake calls himself, loves her more than ever and Brady's just hanging out as usual. That's all for now.
