Bradley and sports






So we just got done with soccer, thank God! Bradley always says he wants to play but then he doesn't want to go to practice and most of the time doesn't even want to play in the game. When he does play he will do something good and everyone will cheer for him and then he comes off the field because he is soooo tired. Silly boy can run up and down the hill 50 times but during the game thinks he is tired after running down the field once or twice. SO...we are sitting out the summer. He says he wants to play t-ball but I decided that we will sit this year out and if he still says he wants to play next year we will sign him up. Plus...I hate giving up my Saturday garage sales to go to a game :)
Anyway...he found a football in the house and so we started playing catch outside. Next thing I knew he had to run inside...I thought to go to the bathroom. Nope...he came back out in full Chiefs gear....including the helmet and the shoulder pads! Sometimes I think he just plays sports to wear the outfits! It was really cute. When Bradley gets into costume he goes all out. All of a sudden he was falling onto the ball and had grass stains within the first 5 minutes! He is too funny.

Birthday parties





Bradley has been invited to a few really fun Birthday parties in the last couple of weeks. The first one was his good friend Isabelle. She had a camping theme and the kids made butterflies and their own cookies. It was really cute. The 2nd one was his good friend Cayton's. He had his at the skating rink and they let the kids bring their bikes. It was a super cute idea and the kids had a blast. here are some pictures

Big Wheel Day






Every year at the end of the year Bradley's school, Little Angels, has their Big Wheel day. It is a cute event and the kids get so excited for it. They transform the parking lot into a mini city for the kids. They have a racetrack, lemonade stand, car wash, gas station, drive thru, repair shop and more. Bradley had a ball. Here are some pictures from the day.

David Cook




So this town is going crazy over David Cook so I jumped on the bandwagon as well since he is from my home town. My niece, Abbey has been a fan since the start of the show and it is so fun to watch her get so excited. David went to her elementary school and says he is in this because of his music teacher who is still the music teacher at her school. So when he was home for his day trip he stopped by her school and gave the music teacher flowers and sand the school song. Abbey was tickled pink. My mom then took all the kids to the parade and then we went to the Royals game to watch him throw the first pitch and sing Take me out to the ballgame. It was so fun. Bradley however does not like him. He pouts every time we talk about him. Last night Angie and the girls and I went up to side pockets for the watch party and Bradley cried real tears because he didn't want to go. mom was going to bunko so luckily Pop saved the day and agreed to watch him. He is so funny. Here are some of the pictures we took from the Royals game. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks we can talk Bradley into being a fan....until then we will just keep voting for him anyway!

Spring Break Disnleyland!!!

For spring break we were lucky enough to go to Disneyland with our good friends Angela, Isabelle and Sabrina. We have another friend (Tara) that lives out there so we met her and her two little kids out there. We spent 5 days at Disney and went to Newport beach. We were able to hang out with my cousin Chari and my boss Debbie and her family. It our first real vacation without my parents so it was interesting. I was so excited for it, however Bradley got really sick and didn't enjoy the trip much at all. He was a trooper and went to the parks but really wanted to just be home. I was so excited for the trip because he was really into Alice in Wonderland at the time and they were having a special Alice in Wonderland brunch on Easter. I thought for sure this would be the best surprise ever for him. He was just so sick that he couldn't really enjoy it at all. When we finally got home he told Grandmama that he "Never ever EVER wanted to go on vacation again!" Poor kid was at what is supposed to be the happiest place on earth and he couldn't even enjoy it. I had a lot of fun though and Ang and I plan on taking the kids to Disneyworld soon. We both agreed Disneyworld is much better than Disneyland. But we are also going to take at least one grandma with us to help us out. It would have been nice to have someone to stay at the hotel when the kids tuckered out. Disneyland doesn't have double strollers so one kid had to always walk which is never fun. Isabelle was usually the one and she was quite the trooper about it. Bradley wasn't such a fan and wouldn't do it very often. Looking back he was probably already starting to feel sick so it was too much for him....but it was a little embarassing that he wouldn't do it and I feel bad now that I didn't MAKE him do it more than I did, but I guess they aren't too mad since they want to go back with us! It was fun I just feel bad that Bradley felt so sick. I finally felt like a single mom and I was proud that I had come up with the money to make this happen for him....now I just hope I can talk him into another vacation soon!
