Bradley's Birthday

Aug. 21, 2014

Bradley had another birthday!  He is now 9 years old.  I can't believe how quickly he is growing up.  It seems like yesterday we were having his first birthday and he was burning his finger on the candles. :0)  We are so grateful he is part of our family.

Bradley got to open one present before school.

He got a hot wheels track.  It can make 10 different designs.

The boys have had a lot of fun making tracks.

After school we made towers to keep us busy until dad got home to do the rest of the presents.

Bradley was proud of how high he got his tower.

Daniel didn't want to be left out.

Once dad got home we did the rest of the presents.

Crab nets!  He was super excited to try them out!!

He also got some weights and a new swim suit.

After dinner we went down to the marina to try out the crab traps.

The dock goes out quite a ways.  Nathan had a lot of fun just running!

Daniel trying to help keep track of him.

There are always birds in the shallows looking for frogs, fish and crabs.

We saw crabs in the water on the rocks, but we didn't catch any.

We were lucky enough to see a couple big planes fly over head.  The lighting wasn't good so the pictures are kind of blurry.  Nathan gets the most excited about the air planes.

We also saw a few helicopters.

In a last effort to catch some crabs we moved closer to some rocks.  We saw several crabs, but went home without catching any.  It was a fun trip though.

Time for the ice cream cake!!

Bradley wanted to light his own candles this year.

Happy Birthday Bradley!!

Dad had to hold Nathan up so he could see, but couldn't touch.
