A Double Digit

Aug. 21, 2015

Bradley is officially a double digit!  Sometimes it is hard to believe he is already a decade old.  He has been such a good kid.  We have had some hard times, but through it all he has remained a sweet, tender boy.  He has a good heart and just wants to help everyone around him.  He has made a lot of progress the last couple years in school.  We are so proud of him and how responsible he is becoming.  Happy 10th Birthday Bradley!

Bradley was excited to open his presents.

He got a new reading lamp.  He loves to read at night and his other one died!

He also got...an Angelcare monitor?!

(I ordered a new baby monitor at the same time as his presents.  Andy thought it would be funny to give it to him as a gag gift.  When Bradley opened it he looked at it and said, "What is it?"  After Andy explained what it was Bradley told me I could have it if I wanted it.  "Not that I don't except it.  You can have it if you want it though."  He is such a sweet boy!)

Last but not least...

A remote controlled car/airplane!  This little guy is a LOT of fun.  The kids love flying and chasing it.  Bradley was most excited about this one.

For Bradley's birthday party we invited a couple friends to go swimming with us at the Kroc center.  I forgot my good camera, so I had to make do with my cell phone.

Josh was excited to hang pool side with his mom.

Eliza and Nathan ran and ran in the wade pool.

Hi Mom!

This little slide was their very favorite!

Nathan and Eliza couldn't go in the lazy river without Andy.

They took turns riding his back around the river.

Cooper, our neighbor, joined them.

Carter kept himself entertained with this basketball.

After swimming we headed home for some ice cream cake.

Bradley wanted to light his own candles this year.

Kaleb was there too...somewhere.

It was some pretty good cake.  Happy Birthday Bradley!!!
