I Love These Kids!

These pictures are taken from my phone, but it's better than nothing. Calvin is so stinkin cute. Growing way too fast, beautiful blue eyes, precious smiles, the most adorable face, and the stinkiest toots!

Calvin is looks so cute on game days. Thank you Bamma.

The other night Bradley accidentally ripped his tag off his blanket. This was a pretty big deal since he takes his tag all day and rubs it on his face (particularly his nose) and rubs it in between his fingers.
His quotes throughout the night:
"tag go?"
"oh no!"
"tag off"
"tag dirty" -then he washed it in the sink
He then carried it around, put it in is pocket, and continued to rub it on his nose. This may be a good thing. Maybe he will be satisfied with just the tag instead of needing his whole blanket. Think of the possibilities... he can take it to school, work, mission, wedding. Way better then dragging his blanket around the rest of his life (David, I love you!).
Good thing we have a back up blanket until I reattach it.

Curly mohawk. It's gonna be the new craze.

Bradley loves Calvin's toys. This is how I found him when he was suppose to be taking a nap on his bed. The next day he wanted to sleep in Calvin's crib for his nap. I love it.

I think a dinosaur for halloween will be perfect. He roars so cute.

If it's not evident from this picture, Bradley loves the Markham's apple trees. He also eats all their canned peaches, pears, apple sauce, cherry and grape jam. Did I mention how much I love having such amazing neighbors? Bradley will hate us if we ever move.

July...

4th of July was awesome! Garrett's parents got us 2nd row seats (on the grass) to the Stadium of Fire! That's right. Carrie Underwood performed. I was in heaven... and so was Garrett. We couldn't believe how beautiful she was and how great of a singer she was live.
We also watched the parade. It was so hot! But Bradley loved every minuet of it. Especially the balloons.

This picture was just too cute not to post.

Who would have thought a laundry basket and balloon could make a kid so happy? I hope he is always this entertained.

June...

Garrett turned 26!
He got everything (i hope) he wanted... lots of camping gear. Then we went on our first camp out as a family. It was a lot of fun. Bradley loved it. I am lame and don't have any pictures of our sweet outing, but there will be plenty more camping trips to come.
Garrett also got a ukulele from his sister Taylor. Now Calvin Kawika will have some Hawaiian music to fall asleep too:)

This was the last night Bradley slept in is crib. He grew up way too fast!

Me and Bradley flew to Vegas, then drove to California with my family to attend our cousin Brock's wedding. It was beautiful! I wish Garrett could have been there, but we had a fun little vacation. I miss the beach and so does Brad. He was running into the ocean, getting knocked down by the waves, and eating all the sand. I'm so glad my sister and brother were there playing with Brad and letting him have so much fun.

We then drove back to Vegas and hung out with the family until Garrett met us there for our Day Family Reunion.
Lots of swimming, playing with cousins, jumping on the tramp, and bowling for the first time.
And we all loved the reunion. We played minute to win it games and spent the day in the mountains. Can't get any better than that.

Pre Easter Festivities...

While Garrett was watching players being "cradled" by their coach, Taylor and I slaved in the kitchen.

Taylor made the chocolate covered strawberries... so good! And I made some rice krispie eggs that we all decorated. Garrett was pretty creative, putting peach rings on his.
And since that wasn't enough food, we tie dyed eggs after Bradley went to bed.
We had so much fun this Easter and are so grateful to be living close to family again.

I think it's safe to say that Brad loved the pre-Easter festivities.

Easter...

Happy Easter Bradley!
This picture was taken Easter morning. Snow. Are you kidding me? At least Grandpa Day wasn't there, cuz he said it would have been perfect; just hide the white eggs on the lawn. I hope he was kidding:) Bradley would have given up once he realized the white stuff made his hands hurt.
Beside that, we had a great Easter.

The Easter Bunny made a trail of eggs to help Bradley find his basket.

We probably should have let him play with the eggs the week of because they turned out to be more of a distraction. He was so distracted he almost fell down the stairs a few times. Whoops.

He wasn't sure he should let go of the eggs to go after his basket. But once he saw the cars the Easter Bunny left he thought it was worth it. So cute.

Then, after playing with the cars for a few minuets, he grabbed the basket and started putting the eggs in it. It was the cutest thing. So for the rest of the week that was his favorite game.
Now that Bradley has mastered one holiday, he can show Calvin how it's done.

Once we decided Taylor had slept enough, we woke her up to start looking for her basket.
Don't worry Tay; I wont say how long it took you or how many clues you needed:)
Lets just say that Garrett thinks you still owe his 5 bucks.
Serves you right for taunting the Bunny the night before!

It was so much fun to be able to spend Easter with you Tay.
And if it weren't for you, we would have never gotten addicted to Glee!
We love you.
