Spring

 We've been loving this sunny weather recently. I cleaned off the outside toys and let the kids run around. Logan was busy playing with the neighbor kids, but I got a couple of sweet shots of my little babe.

I love her look of concentration trying to walk down a little hill.

Happy Spring!

St. Patty's Day

 I didn't do anything special for St. Patrick's Day. Some moms (and dads) are so creative and I just wasn't feeling it this year. Maybe its because Easter is early?

I tried to get a shot of the kids wearing green but they weren't the most willing models.

For a FHE treat this week we made green rice krispie treats. Logan was a good helper and taster in the kitchen, as always. 

And since the holiday fell on a Sunday, here's Logan looking dapper in his bowtie.

Such a handsome little man. He was excited to wear it.

Maybe next year I'll put in a little more effort!

Just who does she think she is?

I'm in trouble with this one.

Bump

First official baby bump photo! Today marks 3 months!

At 3 Months:

-my clothes are starting to get a little tight

-a couple people have been brave enough to ask me if I'm expecting instead of speculating

-I have a little more energy

-I'm hungry ALL THE TIME

-weird pregnancy dreams have begun

Cooped Up

This winter was rough (I say "was" hoping that spring is officially here to stay). Here are a few things we did to keep ourselves busy:

art projects

 playing in new snow boots (mostly inside)

going out to fun places like the aquarium

playing with new toys

 

and when there was any sign of sunshine, going for walks.

Fortunately the snow has melted and we've been enjoying more and more sunshine! Hooray for spring!

We Have an Annoucement . . .

Couldn't be happier to bring another Bradshaw into our family!

Valentine's Day

 Wow, I haven't been good at posting lately, or taking pictures for that matter. Spring needs to come quick.

 I did take a few photos of our Valentine's Day this year. 

The kids and I had fun decorating the house (those conversation hearts slowly dwindled).

At the beginning of February I started leaving little things in the mailbox for Logan. Norah was a little too young this year to get the concept. 

Logan loved "checking the mail".

This day we got to play a heart sorting game. Logan really knows his colors. 

Another day we made sugar cookies. By the way, I think we've been on a sugar high for at least a month.

He was so excited to make these cereal valentines for his classmates at preschool. 

This is what they looked like (thank you Pinterest)!

 We made a few other Valentines . . .

and got some in the mail too (thanks grandmas)!

 You can see on his face how excited he was.

 Norah looked especially cute in her heart shirt. This was after her nap so her hair is another story.

I made a special breakfast complete with chocolate cupcakes muffins, yogurt and granola, and strawberry milk. Nothing like a sugar rush first thing in the morning!

Honey surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses. 

The kids and I met Benj at his work and took him to lunch at Olive Garden. Later we had a nice dinner at home and a trip to Orange Leaf to round out the day. 

There was a lot of love in the Bradshaw home today. Couldn't have asked for anything better!
