Chalket :)

Carsen takes after his mommy and LOVES chocolate or "Chalket" as Carsen says :) Ahhh a boy after my own heart!! We have so much fun together and he cracks me up! These pics are not very good quality but he was being so silly and was such a mess from his chocolate that I gave him that I couldn't help but take a pic or 2 to document how dang cute he is :) I crack up every time I see these pics!! Love you bug a boo!

Summer snippets...

This summer we were over at a friends house for a BBQ and their little girl was out on the lawn playing tea party with her little friend. Carsen has no problem crashing a party :) She was so sweet to him and he just loves her! Who wouldn't want a little boy to come to your tea party right ?!?!? He was having a blast and I think he loved going over to the faucet and playing in the water just as much as anything! what a silly little boy :)

We finally got Carsen to start liking sandwiches!! Yay! We have tried and tried and finally got him to like peanut butter and honey sanwiches. Which he calles "a honey samwich." I love it and this funny little man!!
We also got to go to Toads fun center with Miss and the kids and we had a blast! Carsen LOVES his cousin Korbin and thinks he is just the coolest!! This picture is of a cute little ride that made them feel like they were on a roller coaster! they would have sat there forever if we would have let them! These two are so silly and have so much fun together! I hope they can always be best buddies!!!
And last but certainly not least!.......BASEBALL!!! Our stake has a softball league every summer and Carsen LOVED it this year! He would watch and cheer everyone on saying "hey batter batter" (so cute!!) We are so lucky to have such a fun and sweet ward that they would let him come out and hit the ball and run the bases!! He was in heaven! Thank you to our wonderful ward and bishop!!! You are seriously the BEST!!!!

Just like Daddy!!

With Keith training to do part of the Lotoja this last summer his bike was left out in our living room a lot! Carsen has seen Keith get ready for a ride so many times that he knows just where daddy puts his water bottles! So......Carsen decided that was the best place to put his water bottles! He was SOOO proud of himself!! So dang cute!! He loves his daddy and wants to do everything just like him!!!

Mischeif

Carsen is such a good boy most of the time but he is still very much a 2 year old :) He sees me putting on lip stuff and when he finds some, he knows just what to do....he also LOVES to unravel the toilet paper! (what 2 yr old doesn't right?!?) silly boy!! we love you!!

It's a................

We found out on Friday (Nov 18th) that it is a...........................GIRL!!!
We are so excited and can't wait to have this little miss be a part of our family!!!

I am feeling much better the last couple of weeks and pretty much feel normal except for the fact that I have a quickly expanding belly!!

Carsen is having fun going around saying "baby sister" but other than that I don't think he really gets any of it yet :)

thanks for all the comments! I love them! keep them coming!!

Baby Bradford #2 :)

We are excited to announce that we will be adding to our little family in April! Only a few more days till we find out what it will be!!! yay!

We are getting more and more excited, especially as the holidays get closer! I don't think Carsen really understands what is going on yet :) what a funny boy!

I have been sick with this one and didn't really have much sickness at all with Carsen so I am anxious to find out what it is :)

I will post again when we find out.......................any guesses??????

Thanks for all the love and support!

Camping

The 3rd weekend in July we had our Ward camp out just up green canyon. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed everyones company....Carsen especially!! He loves to be the center of attention and with our ward there are not very many little kids his age so there are plenty of adults to play with and be spoiled by! He loves every minute of it.... He went around the entire camp giving knuckles to everyone and loving everyone that would throw him a ball! He also has this sweet friend that was a nursery teacher to him that took him to throw rocks in the stream... he loves her!!! He thought is was pretty cool to make a basket with his ball into the fire pit...that is until the ball started to melt!! oh well :) Carsen was filthy the entire time but had so much fun so I guess that is the whole point right?!?!?
We all had a great time even though I don't think we will be tent camping again for a while! None of us slept well since Carsen didn't sleep well :( he woke up at like 2 saying "les go" I didn't want to pack everything up in the dark so we stuck it out but Carsen and Keith stole the bed and the pillows which meant that I pretty much slept on the floor! at least it was only one night :) Better luck next time I guess :)
Thanks Turleys for letting us borrow the tent!
This was Carsen's nursery teacher (miss Heather) she is so sweet with him and he just loves her!!

Fun in the fountains

Carsen was so proud of himself getting the golf ball to stay in the water just like his cousins did! what a fun and entertaining day!!
He thought these tubes were just the coolest thing and a little seat just for him :)

Too funny! he was trying to get a drink like the big kids!!

you have to get a little closer buddy :)


so happy...food in his mouth and all :)






It took him a little while to get brave enough to really play in them. Love that face :)




Lots of pics again... :) I just can't help it!!

Colorado has the coolest malls, we went to this outdoor mall that has a spash pad and fountains right in the middle! The kids loved it and we did too!! I need one of these in my back yard!!

Denver Zoo

At the first part of July we were able to go for a visit over to Colorado to see my brother, sis-in-law and their kids. We had such a great time! Thanks guys for having us!! We got to do so many fun things, minus the major car problems, we loved being there!! On the way over our car decided to die about 30 miles away from their house, we felt really lucky to only have it have been that far away and not in the middle of nowhere!! We broke down on the freeway and managed to coast into the parking lot of the budweiser plant :) ha ha, go figure! anyway... we just hung out for a while til the tow truck came and Jeff came and picked us up. Thanks for rescuing us Jeff!! LONG story short we got it fixed and it still broke down on us then we got a new battery...thank goodness for warranties on batteries and for Jeff and Tiff driving us everywhere...it broke on us one last time and then we figured that out and fixed it for good!! yay! No thanks to the repair guys that forgot to plug in the dang plug to the alternator! good thing keith figured it out! silly people.

I couldn't leave out this picture of Carsen's favorite pat time.....Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before bed :) too dang cute!

Anyway, some of the fun things we got to do were: Going to the Denver Zoo, Going to the splash park, Swimming a bunch, seeing their new house, Lots and lots of playing outside and going to parks. Movies when it would rain every night. Enjoying fun time with cousins! Carsen loves his cousins and we enjoyed every minute! Thanks again for having us and we can't wait to see you guys again soon!!

Here are some of the pictures form the zoo. There are a bunch so I will do the fountain ones on another post:)
He had to have the pop corn :)
