Christmas

There are way too many pictures to put on right now, but I had to put a couple. More to come...
Kyler LOVES this!!! Thanks mom and dad Bradshaw!

A Christmas walk in California is just a bit different than in UTAH.

Cute brothers!

Kyler loved spending time reading with Grandpa!

Jaden loved his new scooter!

Shenna made the most adorable hats for all 3 grandsons! LOVE them! More pics of those to come...

While Jaden was napping Kyler would try out Jaden's new toy! Thanks mom and dad Mealey!

Sweet Batman learning laptop and a musical Elmo book! Thanks Eric and Nat! They love them!

Getting up at 4:00 in the morning to get to the airport in time!...No Fun!
Thanks for a great Christmas mom and dad! We really do miss you already. Thanks for being so great! Hopefully we'll see you sooner than later!

Kangaroo Zoo 12-16-2008

Pretty much the funnest place we've found! This is the easiest way to show and share lots of pics. Thanks f0r playing ladies.

Don't know why it plays music with the slide show. I never added any.

Trying to figure that one out...sorry if it's bugging you...just turn your sound off! :)

SNOW

Kyler's favorite word to say lately..... Ma ma!!


Jaden loved helping me shovel the foot of snow off our driveway! (Yes folks...at least a foot!)



Jaden really got into the excitement of the snow this year. Everything from shoveling, throwing snowballs (watch out...he's got a great throw) and even tasting it! Kyler on the other hand didn't really like it at all. He was pretty content to stay in the garage and just watch, and that seemed to make him a little nervous too.

























So you can understand his frustration when I made him join us out of the garage for a quick picture! Sorry Kyler. :(


I am so sore from shoveling. But at least I get a bit of a workout while the kids "play".... I think that Kyler really just hates the whole outfit, because when we went out yesterday with no snow pants and coat (just boots and a hat) he was much happier. Sorry I don't have a picture to prove it! Bring on the snow! He'll get used to it....eventually...

Christmas Decor

So I am finally getting around to posting our Christmas decorations. (Sorry this has taken me so long Jennie :) ) Still LOVE LOVE LOVE the tree. Thanks mom and dad Mealey and Eric and Nat!


No one else has stocking like these! Thanks mom Mealey!










This week we hung out with my brother Michael. He and Steph had Christian and I for Christmas this year. So while we were up there they gave us our gift and told us to open it! BEAUTIFUL!!!! LOVE it so much! Thanks guys!


Didn't want to waste any time with this gorgeous painting on the ground. So this weekend we hung some stuff. I think that both walls turned out great! After 2 years...we are finally really starting to fill up the walls! It's nice to finally have my cross stitch of Christ hung as well!

FINALLY

I got a calling in our new ward! Drum roll please.... :) I will be an assistant for the Wolf and Bears Cub scouts! That's the 8-9 year old boys. I'm really excited about this calling. We'll have Den meetings once and week and pack meetings once a month! Bring on the playtime!...When is the pinewood derby?....can't wait for it all!

Is it really December?

These picture were taken several weeks ago when I thought that snow was right around the corner. Yes we still go to the park, even if we have to bundle up, even if it is raining, even if we are the only ones there...we still have a great time. My boys sure love to be outside.
Today you would not have known it was Winter, let alone December! Loving the long Fall this year!
