Addy's Spring Sing and Last Day of Preschool

In April Addy's preschool had their annual Spring Sing. The kids did great and Addy was very into it this year. Addy's last day of school was May 23. They had a little graduation program, handed out "diplomas" and then had an ice cream social. We love Little Lambs and Addy will greatly miss this program.

Catching Up

The last few months have been busy in the Bradford house. February was spent pretty much inside and going nowhere because Drew was sick with ear infections and croup (horrible illness), but after he had tubes put in his ears the end of February we have been sickness free (knock on wood!). In March the kids and I (and my dad) drove to Oklahoma to visit my grandmother and my dad's sisters. We had a lot of fun visiting, fishing and taking lots of golf cart rides. Since Spring Break, we've been to the zoo a couple of times, played at the splash pad, celebrated Easter with my family, gone to birthday parties, registered Addy for kindergarten and this last Saturday Addy got to go to Disney on Ice. It's been a fun few months.

Drew's 1st Birthday

Cannot believe my baby is one. It has been a crazy, wonderful year and Drew has definately been the highlight of the year. He has turned into a sweet, funny, incredibly smart and strong little boy.

He loves to cuddle

He is very independent. He can play by himself for hours.

He started walking at 11 months old.

He loves playing with his sister and cousins.

He says baba, dada, papa and Addy.

He has 3 teeth (one bottom and two top)

He wears size 18 month clothes (12 month pants sometimes bc his legs are short) and size 3 diaper

He weighs about 20 pounds.

He has started rejecting baby food - he wants to eat what we are eating. So far, he loves Chicken and Noodles, lasagna, stew and taco soup. For lunch he eats cheese, lunch meat and a banana or carrots.

He is drinking some out of a cup, but still prefers to drink out of a bottle.

We have started weaning him off formula and onto whole milk.

For his birthday we decided on a sock monkey theme. I found a cute idea for cupcakes on Pinterest and they turned out really cute and were really easy to make. Andrea was able to come down and celebrate with us along with my parents and Mindy and the boys. He loved his cupcake and got really messy, which the the big kids loved seeing him all dirty. We had a fun evening celebrating Drew.

Christmas 2011

After flying home on Christmas eve, we headed to my parents where we opened family gifts. The next morning, we spent a nice quiet Christmas at home. Although it was a little rushed and hectic due to Christmas being on a Sunday morning this year. We woke early, put breakfast in the oven and got the kids up so we could open gifts, eat breakfast and get ready to go to church and still give the kids a little time to play. After church we ate lunch with my family at Mindy's house and hung out there watching the kids play and playing the new Disneyland Kinect game. It was a good day.

Steamboat Springs 2011

On December 17th, we all headed out to Steamboat for a week of relaxing, skiing, and playing in the snow. We spent our days playing pool and games, watching movies, playing in the snow and relaxing. We were a little disappointed in the snow this year as there wasn't really all that much. The skiing was okay - as a result of their not being much snow it was a little icy. Addy spent two days in ski lessons with Brady and really improved over last year. She moved up to the 2nd bunny hill on her last day. I think she enjoyed skiing a lot more this year than last. We flew home Christmas eve just in time for to celebrate Drew's 1st Christmas at home.
