A Mini Surprise!

Well, My Mom has a new baby Mini-horse! Her name is Dakota, or Kota as we call her. She was a total surprise! We didn't even know that the Mom, Sweetie, was pregnant. You see, Sweetie hasn't been able to breed since we got her and Shadow (The Daddy) 5 years ago. She lost alot of weight a few years ago because of teeth problems, so we had her on a high protein diet to help her gain weight. Well she apparently got pregnant shortly after she started gaining her weight back. You couldn't even tell because she didn't look any fatter than the male! By the way did you know horses are pregnant for 11 months! Wowzers! anyway

See how Tiny!

Kota weighs a bit more than Bradley, but she is about the same height as him!

She is kinda shy here, but she is really friendly and loving with people!

Easter Pictures!

Hey Everyone! it has been too long! Life has been so crazy and full of adventure with little Bradley! He is growing like a weed, he has teeth poppin' up all over! He is just such a great boy! Here are some pictures of our easter egg hunt with Jon, Cassie, and little KJ!

Two little Cute boys!

Happy Easter Bradley!

KJ is checkin' out his Dad's funny eyes!

While hunting eggs, we found a little frog (it's on Jon's hand) KJ loved to look at it, but he did not want to touch it!

Our Idaho Trip

It was fun to go and see the Olympics but it was such a LONG LONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Trip!! Bradley hates the car seat anyways so I was worried about him being happy in the truck for such a long time. By the end of the trip he seemed to do better in the car than he ever had before. So I guess the long hours in the car and the screaming child some of the time was worth it because he doesnt seem to mind being in the car to bad...now it is just getting him to like getting in the carseat and getting out of the car seat.

While we were traveling up to Idaho we found a town with my maiden name Holden!!

Bradley really liked to drive the car. He was so happy to get out of the carseat and start driving the car.

after Chrissy won the Gold.

We went to see "Paul Blart, Mall Cop" while we were in Boise and there was a trailer for the next Harry Potter movie and Bradley was totally amazed with the commercial. I think that we have to take him to that movie because Bradley loved the trailer.

Here is Bradley with his cousins William (Liam) and Alex and his Grandpa Wiley. Liam is a little less than a year older than Bradley and is only like 2 inches longer and 4 lbs. heavier than Bradley. It was so fun to see those two kids playing with eachother.

This is Todd (a figure skate) who came and wanted to hold Bradley.

He was such a great and funny guy.

Lee, Bradley and Todd

Bradley trying to drink the Diet Coke. He seems to be trying to eat everything now a days.

Bradley after the Closing Ceremonies looking like a Homie. He was so tired because he couldnt sleep in the ceremony (it was too loud) as soon as we got in the car he crashed and had his own sleeping mask.

I told you he was starting to chew on everything. I did wipe it down with a wet one and then a diaper wipe so I wasnt letting him just eat the table without cleaning it!! This was at the Red Iguana in Salt Lake. It was DELICIOUS!!

Our sweet little girls (our adopted nieces) that we got to see while in Idaho. This was the first time that they got to meet Bradley and oh how they loved him.

Special Olympics World Winter Games

We were able to go to the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise Idaho. We got to see Lee's sister Chrissy compete in the Figure Skating. She won Gold in her division and we were so excited to see her and her competition. It was the first time that I get to see her perform! It was such a fun time that we had with all of our family!

Look his Teeth!

Here is a great pic of Bradley's two little teeth that have popped up!

It seems that you can only see them when he screams, hehe!

Bradley's Teething Saga

SOOOOO... I though that one tooth coming in was a nightmare...but since I posted the last post he has yet another tooth in his tiny mouth. He has both bottom front teeth now and man are they crooked!! They are just like his daddy's teeth. Once I get a picture of them I will post them but for now I can only see them when he is screaming because when I try to look in his mouth his tongue comes sticking out so we cant see them. I hope that his top teeth wait at least a month so that Lee and I can recouperate from this teething session before the next comes. But I still love being a mom and no matter how cranky or how loud his screams get (which is pretty loud...my ears ring sometimes) I still wouldnt trade that kid for anything in the world!! I LOVE BEING A MOMMY!!!!!!

Bradley Rolling Even More

Bradley's main mode of transportation for the time being is rolling around. He always seems to get into places that he cant move any farther. Here he is underneath his swing after he spent about 2 minutes swinging his swing with his feet. I guess he knew what that thing did and enjoyed playing with the underside of his swing.
