So so far behind...

So I think about how far behind I am on this blog EVERYDAY. I don't even know if people still even look at it, but I like to keep it going for my own personal record, if nothing else. So much has happened, and I have so many pictures that the task of getting all caught up is overwhelming! And since it's overwhelming it keeps getting put off longer and longer, which is exactly what I don't want to do - SO I think I might have to very quickly sum up the last 10 months!!! :( Once I get back on track I am VERY hopeful that I will be able to stay up to date. We just got a laptop which will make it SO much easier to find time to blog - so I'm excited for that! So... here we go :)

What?

Seriously - my last post was July 1st?!?! Where has the time gone? So much to catch up on... I'm workin' on it :) To be continued... SOON!

What on earth?!

What could Bradley be looking at with such utter confusion and horror on his face?! Naked Saunder running through the sprinklers!!I think he thought this was wrong in SO many ways! We've never been naked outside - whenever someone is naked Bradley automatically says they are taking a bath, because that IS the only time people are naked (in our world :)). So the fact that Saunder was naked was COMPLETELY throwing Bradly off. And, sadly, we'd never run through the sprinklers before, so he really didn't understand the whole concept. I was trying to get him all excited and told him he could run in his clothes and go get wet, like in the pool, but he just was not having it. I finally got him to crack a smile and seem somewhat interested, so he took off (bat in hand of course!) - being very careful to keep his distance from naked Saunder :) - but he would barely touch the water with his little toe as he ran around. We'll have to practice this some more before he realizes that sprinklers can be fun :)

ACTUALLY DATE: Even though I'm posting this now this actually happened back in May 2010! Urgh! Am I really almost a year behind?!?! How did that happen?

Nothing out of the ordinary...

just Gracie being cute :)

Good exercise!

Dad and Jan got Bradley this cute interactive video game for Christmas - you jump and run on the mat (kind of like we used to do with nintendo - which was SO much fun!!) and learn shapes and colors - it's really cute and Bradley just LOVES the racing part! He's so good at it too and he'll do it for hours - I wish I still had that kind of energy!!!

Balls everywhere!

We've been working on decorating Bradley's Big Boy Room and it's so easy to do - anything that has to do with balls and sports he loves. I am a BIG fan of Hobby Lobby and we found the cutest things there - a lamp, clock, wall decals, shelves, posters (Kevin threw in the Transformers poster just for him I think :) ) and I found these foam shapes in soccer, football, baseball and basketball - I didn't know what I was going to do with them but I thought they were cute and I could figure something out so we got them. Bradley started playing with them and would rub them back and forth on the wall until the static electricity built up and it would stick - SMART BOY! I would have NEVER thought of that. What a creative little mind :) So he loves putting them up, taking them down and doing it all over again in a new spot. Since this video I got him a sport bed set that I just love so now everything is set for the move - I just have to bite the bullet and do it! Especially since Gracie barely fits in the bassinet anymore!

Jumpin

First time in the jumpy. She was sure smiley but she wasn't jumping much, I think she was just happy she was upright and could see Bradley better :)
