Bradford's 1st Day of School


Here is our big boy on his first day of school!  The only way we could get him to smile was by getting to hold the XS, so hence the can in his hand!  Mommy wanted one with her big boy too:)

That evening Gracie came over to play!  They were sitting in the chair cracking each other up so I got some funny pictures of these two little friends!

Bradford's 2!!!


On August 30, our lives changed forever when God gave us a precious baby boy!  It is hard to believe he is 2 now!!!  We enjoyed the day by playing outside, going to Chick-fil-a for dinner (Bradford's favorite) and wrapped up the evening with a fun play date at the park with mommy and daddy!
Excited to be 2!

Bradford's 2nd Birthday


We celebrated Bradford's 2nd birthday at Still Water Farm where I give horseback riding lessons.  It was the perfect place to have his party!  They have a big western themed community room with sliding barn doors that opens the entire room up to the outside and a large front porch.  There are a variety of animals for the kids to see and pet around the farm.  Right outside were cars for the kids to ride and a playground that was put to good use!  A friend of mine had made bandanna banners that I used so we went with a red and blue western theme.  We had pizza and cake with juice boxes for the kids.  I made a cake that was supposed to look like a horse but Andrew thought it looked like a bear.   It is the same cake pan that my mom used for my 6th birthday which was a My Little Pony cake.  My mom did a better job, haha!  I really tried but at least it tasted good!  Each child got a cowboy hat and bandanna to play dress up with!

This is Bradford's shirt that I made him for his party. It was my first sewing project and took me a day and a half (that is a long time)!  It was a fun experience, and time will improve my skills.  He was crying because he didn't want to try the shirt on at the time!

After everyone arrived we took a tour around the farm seeing all the different animals and then opened gifts.  He got some cute clothes and lots of fun new toys to play with!

Grandma's 91st Birthday


Bradford and I went to Virginia for the weekend to celebrate Grandma Kinzie's 91st birthday in August!  He really enjoyed jumping in the pool, hanging out with his aunts and playing with his cousins.  We had a dinner celebration at Gary and Sandra's house with the entire family and then the kids went on a wagon ride!

Happy Birthday Grandma Kinzie!
