New Years with the Bradley's

A few days after Christmas my family came in town. They were here for 5 days and got to spend New Years with us. We all saved some presents so that we could have a "second Christmas" together. 

Eryn got all new snowboard gear

Trey liked her goggles

 I was so excited to open my toms from Elan :)

Jason got his Tebow jersey

My parents both got homemade gifts this year. Elan made my Mom's apron, and together we made my Dad a quilt.

I love how the quilting looks like waves, so appropriate for my Dad.

We had a little something special hidden in the quilting. Our family has a little phrase that we say anytime we close a conversation called "sly". It means sure love you and started back when my parents were dating :)

During the opening of presents, Eric was working hard on his puzzle...the most impossible puzzle ever!

Elan and Jason played a trick on Tatum...hilarious!

The kids love their Grandparents!

On New Years Eve we spent the night playing Just Dance. We even got my Dad and Jason dancing!

Before my family left town we got a day of Skiing in. I didn't take any pictures due to the injury that I sustained. It was not fun, but I think I am finally recovering :) Everyone had so much fun which is all that matters. Can't wait for our next trip together!

A day out with Grandpa

During the week after Christmas Grandpa Scott had a slow day at work and decided to take all the grand kids to the Church History Museum. The kids loved it and had so much fun with Grandpa. Afterwards he took everyone out to lunch. Such a fun memory!

I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to sit on these...but a lady walked by and said I'd better take a picture, so I did!

All of this kids had a turn giving talks from the pulpit.

Trey loved to see all of the prophets. He would just run from one pic to the next and yell "Ho-Ho". He thinks that anyone with a white beard is Santa :)

Upstairs they have a huge area for kids. They all had so much fun dancing, building forts, and fishing from the boat.

Thanks Grandpa for such a fun day!

Christmas 2011

Wow I think this is the longest I have gone without blogging! My computer got a HUGE virus on it and I couldnt upload pictures or even get online. But all is well now so its time for some mass updating. 

This year we had a lot going on around the Holidays that it made our Christmas a bit crazy. We still had an amazing Christmas and were so blessed to spend time with both sides of the family.

Our Christmas started out with our ward party. Santa came to visit the kids and Tatum was first in line to see him. Trey wasnt very happy about sitting on his lap, he preffered to look at him from a safe distance.

We actually got some snow for a day, not much, but enough for the kids to play for a bit. You can see in this picture Trey's top lip is super swollen from his tooth infection...more on that later!

Elfie came to visit again. Trey is in LOVE with this elf. Every morning he would search the house with Tatum and yell "Elfie" everytime he would see him. He still is obsessed with him and watches the movie at least twice a day!

Christmas Eve was spent at the Wilson's for dinner and the nativity. Poor Tatum had gotten pink eye a few days before.

Christmas morning was nice. The kids had a blast and it was so nice to spend the morning with just us.

 

Before church we sneaked in a few pics all dressed up.

After church we opened presents. I started a new hobby...quilting! I love making quilts! I made Eric a "BYU" quilt with a soft minky back. I'm pretty sure he loves it because he sleeps with it every night :)

We then went up to Eric's parent's house for dinner, presents and games.

It was the perfect Christmas...minus the lack of snow :)

Sad Mommy Moment

My poor little Trey had a tough weekend. For some reason he was a bit off balance and fell time after time. Saturday night he probably face planted 3 times and Sunday at church he fell and got a bloody nose. Well that night we were at Eric's parents house and Eric's Mom noticed his front tooth was chipped. I looked and sure enough a huge chunk was missing! I was so sad I almost cried. I called the dentist first thing in the morning and they set him up for an apt the next morning. The wanted to do x rays but children under 2 wont sit still for them. So instead they had to pin him down and put a laser on it while he was screaming. This office is the only office in Utah County that offers Laser Technology. Its pretty amazing...instead of drilling, they use a laser to fill cavities. Well they put the laser on it to help promote healing and stop infection. Yup this poor little guy got his tooth pretty good. The chip went all the way to the nerve and could result in removing the tooth!! I cried just thinking about my poor baby without his front tooth. If things go well they can get away with doing a route canal and a crown on the tooth. We just wont know for a few weeks what will happen. I am praying for the best but we will see. For now he will just have a piece missing from his front tooth.

This was the best picture I could get of his tooth. He still is pretty happy and doesn't seem fazed by it all. In fact he didn't even cry when it happened! He still eats and sleeps well which the dentist says is a good sign. 

I can tell that this boy is going to keep us on our toes!

Two Monkeys in the Tub

Well we had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We spent it with family, eating A LOT, playing games, putting up Christmas and shopping :) Although we did a lot of fun things I actually didn't break my camera out ONCE! I am completely shocked at myself...its so unlike me! 

Instead I will post a few pics from my kids bath time the other night. These two are getting to be so much fun. They are playing together better and better everyday! They had so much fun in the tub that I had to snap a few pics.

Tatum got out his vampire teeth from Halloween and had some fun with them.

and he had to try them on Trey...

I just love these faces...I'm so lucky I get to call them mine :)

Such silly boys!

Halloween

I know I am late but oh well....

My Halloween started great with a trip to Gardner Village for Witch's Night Out with the girls! It was super crowded but still so much fun!

The next week we had a couples Halloween party and a ward party. I forgot to take pictures at the couples party but we dressed up as Napoleon Dynamite and Deb...classic! For the ward party Eric put his costume together in 15 min! Our neighbor is the Lone Peak Highschool football coach and Eric coordinated with his wife to dress up just like him! He had no clue about it until Eric walked right up to him...I think he was a bit surprised! It was hilarious and ended up winning him best costume!

This year for Halloween Tatum was so undecided about what he wanted to be. Finally he was set on a ninja once he saw all of his friends were going to be ninja's too!

Trey had the best costume ever! My friend and I switched costumes this year and she let me borrow this monster costume for Trey...it was perfect! He was nice and warm all night and it even suited him nicely, since he is indeed a monster! Here is my little Trey Monster.

He didn't like it very much at first...

It had 3 eyeballs on top of his head...so cute!

 

 

Once again we had the whole gang over for trick-or-treating. Jake and Katie had the cutest costume...the old couple from "Up".

Eric is the guy in the scream mask. He had so much fun scaring all of the kids when they came to the door.

Of course we all got loaded up on sugar, which made for an extra late night getting Tatum to bed :)
