Four!

It's fun to have the celebration of the holidays linger just a little longer and we had one special four-year-old birthday to celebrate!!!
I was surprised at how sad I was when everyone headed back to school; we had a really nice time together!

Bradley and I kept busy by putting a little friend party together with just a couple of boys he plays with regularly from church. Paige was a special exception; Bradley wanted her to be the "one girl." We did a few fun games and had lunch and cake with none other than a Toy Story theme!



Bradley has a lot of things he says that we call "Bradleyisms." I want to remember these so here are a few examples:
One day while in the car, Bradley was not happy about me telling him he needed to act nice and have good manners when talking to friends and playing with friends. (He has a lot of trouble sharing when friends come to our house to play). After the mini-lecture he said, "MOM! The world is not about you!"

I wanted to get him to hurry and get going (probably because I was running late somewhere) and I told him if he didn't hurry he was going to have to be left at home. He replied, "You can't leave me! I know your phone number!"

He pretty much tells me we have a "game" meaning baseball, basketball or football during the day, what the name of my team is, how to play the game and when the game is over due to his team winning.

One day Bradley told me he had finished his breakfast and when I checked, he hadn't really touched it. I explained to him that he was lying and I asked him, "Do you know what happens when you lie?" He said, "you get in trouble." I said, it also mommy and daddy sad and it really makes Heavenly Father and Jesus sad. His response was, "Well, don't tell them!"

He is such a busy guy and these examples illustrate the fiery side of his personality but he is also very sweet and loving. We love him so much and he has every single person in this family wrapped around his fingers.

Happy 4th birthday Bradley! We love you!
