Long Picture Post of Bradley

So here it goes. I know there is a lot of pictures and a few explanations.

We didn't give Bradley his Easter treats until he was good. It took a few days to earn his loot, but he eventually did and when he gets ahold of chocolate some times he likes to smear it all over, this time I caught him before it got on anything but him.

Bradley got to get his first ever treat from the ice cream man one night. Bradley aslways asked what the music is at night and Bryan told him he could go get one. He decided on a green ninja turtle ice cream pop. Of course he picked the one with bubblegum in it. Needless to say, he was a mess and got a bath afterwards.

Bradley invited Mya over to play one day and I made them lunch and Bradley decided he needed to feed Mya Cheetos. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but it was very cute.

I made dinner and dessert for the missionaries one night and let Bradley lick the bowl, beaters and spoon. He loved it until it got taken away because he threw it across the kitchen.

Bradley got into our office and a hold of a new roll of tape and thought he would tape himself up. It was really funny and he was so proud of himself. He had so much of it around his stomach I had to cut it off.

When we were in Bakersfield my dad was putting together a big wheel for Bradley and Bradley decided he needed to help hammer the wood. My dad is so good to just show Bradley how everything works and be patient and help him and even let him do it. Everything takes 10 times longer but my dad loves it and so does Bradley.

Real Estate Craziness

The house we had planned on buying, starting packing, got an inspection, etc etc etc has fell through. We ended up just figuring this as a learning experience and will keep looking, but for now we are still going to be in our house. One major thing we learned is never trust a real estate agent and don't do anything on a verbal commitment.

On the brighter side, we did find an amazing mortgage lender to work with. He is based out of Houston, but is licensed to work in a ll 50 states. Is upfront, honest and willing to answer questions anytime. He is really awesome, so if anyone needs a real estate loan or a refinance, let me know and I will send his name and number over.

New pictures of Bradley coming soon. I am not sure if anyone even still looks at this but I will keep posting just so I will have a scrapbook, sorta!!

Some things I would like to learn...

Since I am done with my school work and only have 1 state test and 2 finals left to take, I have been thinking what I should do with all my spare time. Just joking, I don't really have any spare time, but it's fun to think I do. So here is a list I came up with of things I would like to learn to do. I figure if I put it here the list won't get lost.

In no particular order...

Make cool hair bows (I can do the basic ones, but I want big and bold)
Make blog backgrounds
Sew much better
Make burp cloths (the cute ones out of diapers with stuff on them)
Get good at using my bread machine
Start to make dinner menus (stick to them)
Try new recipes

I am sure there is much much more I would like to learn to do, but in the meantime I think that is a good start. I have a cousin that makes amazing hair bows, so I am going to hit her up when I am in Cali this summer and see if she will teach me.

If anyone knows how to make blog backgrounds, please share.

Happy Easter

Here are some pictures of Bradley before we went to church on Easter, he wouldn't give me a good smile. He still hasn't gotten his Easter basket yet because it is full of candy of and we told him that if he wasn't good he doesn't get it and he hasn't been good long enough to earn it. Since Bryan is home today we will probably give it to him after his nap.

My parents were here for a week and I didn't get any pictures. Bradley loves having his Grandma Karen and Papa Nick here and the day the left he kept weeping and saying "I want them back." My mom and I did way to much shopping, Alex will definitely have plenty of clothes to wear. My dad was able to fix a few things in our house so it is ready to rent and we even have an offer on a house that we think may go through.

Another Dr's Apt

So today I had my Dr's apt and everything looks great. The baby has a good strong heart beat and extremely long legs. Her legs are so long it was funny to see them on the screen. My mom was there with me and we both made comments on how long they looked and the ultra sound tech even commented that they are very long. She apparently already has some personality because as soon as the tech would try to get a good picture of her face she would stick her hand up in front of it. She is currently head down and feet straight up. It must be why I don't feel her much. We did get to see her teeth sockets and all four chambers of her heart and everything looks great.

Cookies for GGMA

So Bradley was outside yesterday and I went out and asked him what he was doing because he just had little piles of mud on the concrete. He looked at me and said "I made cookies for GGMA." I didn't get a picture but it was so sweet. GGMA is Bryan's Grandma, who we call GMA, so when Bradley was born we started calling her GGMA. Bradley loves his GGMA and GGPA. They are amazing people and love Bradley just as much as he loves them.
