Our weekend started off with Bradley doing his "own birthday shopping." He got money from his grandmas and had lots of fun picking things out. He still has enough to pay tithing and put some in his piggy bank. **********************************************
Friday:
Friday morning we got to sleep in/snuggle with Dad!
It was really more of a wrestling match than snuggling after a little while, which is why I am not in bed, but taking a picture of the wild things who kicked me out of bed!************************************************
We played in the back yard a LOT! It was funny because every time Andy tried to come in to get a drink or talk to me Bradley and Daniel would follow him in and say, "Dad we aren't done with you yet!" I just had to laugh!! It made Andy's day though. The boys are definitely his weak spot! :)
Check out the chalk foot prints!
Bradley is getting pretty good at hitting the ball after practicing so much with Dad. This was taken just before that ball hit me and came bouncing into the house.
The boys love the get water on the cement and "make tracks!" They can do that for hours.*************************************************
The boys washed both cars this weekend. It has been a long time since we washed them last and they both really needed it!
The boys had more fun with the bubbles than they did actually washing the car, but they did stick with it the whole time!
While they were washing the car I was baking the cookies Bradley and I mixed earlier in the day. Bradley really has become my very best helper!!
Daniel loves to do anything Bradley or Daddy are doing. I think he will turn out to be a great big helper too. 
Daniel helped Bradley get a few too many bubbles this time.
They did a great job with the cars. Now we just need another day to do the inside of the cars.***********************************************
Saturday:
Bradley got the blue truck last year for his birthday, the red truck this year from his cousins, and the orange one with his birthday money. While we were looking at the toys to see what he wanted to buy he said, "Mom, I have that blue one. I have the red on too...but I don't have that one!" Now he has three of the four trucks in the set! He loves his trucks and trailers.***********************************************
We got invited to help our primary mascot celebrate her 1st birthday! They had all kinds of fun things for us to do. The boys loved the bouncy house.
Ben, Daniel, Andrew, Bradley and Logan.
Ben really enjoyed the cupcakes!
Anna did too!
They also had little bottles of bubbles! Daniel was so excited to be able to blow the bubbles all by himself. Then he spilled them on the bounce house. I tried to wash it off a little with my water bottle, but it didn't work very well.
The air blowing out of the seams made lots of bubbles. It was kind of fun to watch!
Daniel was a little bit sad that his bubbles were all gone.
Bradley also got in on the water balloons. He was caring it around like it was the most precious thing he had ever held. It didn't take him long to catch on to the whole throwing it to get others wet.**********************************************
Andy occasionally plays Age of Empires III. It has been a long time since he played, but Bradley remembered and asked him a couple times if they could play it. Finally he gave in and the boys loved it! Bradley caught on fast and I would often hear him say, "Dad, Dad! The bad guys are attacking!"
************************************************
It occurred to me that I didn't ever get a picture of Bradley in his new church clothes with his belt, so I wanted to get a picture before we headed out to church. Daniel immediately wanted to get in on the photo shoot. These are my favorite ones!
*******************************************
We decided that for our Labor Day we would have a picnic in the park with our Jensen friends. We went to Lagoon Valley Park. It turned out to be a great day for a picnic and the boys enjoyed playing Frisbee.
Daniel and Andrew playing catch with our Dad.
Andrew going for the catch.
Dad cookin' the hot dogs!
We felt bad that we didn't take anything for the ducks and geese...maybe next time.
I thought this was so cute!

Their dad is in the oral surgery program here at the base, so he couldn't come with us. We are glad they were able to come play with us today!

Daniel, Josh, Bradley & DadAndy asked them if they thought they could count all the ducks. The boys didn't think they could, so they settled on counting the white ones.

THANK YOU for letting us come and play today. We had a great time! The boys really enjoyed being with Andy for some adoptive "dad" time. It was so much fun and perfect weather. :)
