Brunch at the Club

We had a lovely time at the annual Bradshaw family Easter brunch.

We got visited by the Easter Bunny (Logan wasn't a fan this year).

I had fun coordinating all of our outfits (just couldn't help myself).My little doll loved posing for the camera.

Logan, however, was acting the typical almost-three-year-old and trying to run away from the camera.The cutest daddy-daughter duo EVER.

Stopping for half a second . . .

A rare moment - love those lashes.The two people who made this all possible.Norah with her aunt and Grandma.My man looking dapper as always.Fun with cousins.

Beautiful view of the golf course.And of course taking in the beautiful blossoms. They smelled divine.

Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs

This year was so fun watching Logan. Hunting for eggs has become one of his favorite activities! I think this kiddo had 3 official hunts, plus looking for his Easter basket.

Pictured below is the hunt he and his playgroup participated in a few days before Easter. We went to a nearby park. I think the kids had a lot of fun.

Doesn't it look like they had fun? Haha.

Logan enjoying his yummy finds.On Saturday we did a neighborhood hunt. It was so much more relaxed than the big community ones. Perfect for young kids.

Norah, a little too young, enjoyed the view from her car seat.Waiting patiently for the hunt to start. We were at a beautiful park right by the mountains.And they're off!Logan saw the soccer ball eggs and threw it. At least he didn't kick it!

Most of the pictures are of the top of his head, since he was too busy admiring his candy to look at me.Caught a smile!

Benj's mom joined us too. After the hunt, we enjoyed a yummy breakfast, including Skittles for dessert (Its once a year - don't judge me)!Easter Brunch coming up next!

New Member of the Family

Meet Baby M, first baby girl for my brother and sister-in-law!

We had to make sure these two cousins met as soon as possible. :)

Both weren't too sure about each other at first . . .
but became good friends in no time. M is such a petite little thing -weighing a little over 6 lbs. It'll be kind of hard to catch up to her chubby cousin.

My little bro and proud new papa.

Sweet little family. This picture makes my heart want to burst.

We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Idaho. On the way there our Jeep overheated and caught fire. We were within yards of a gas station. The kiddos were fast asleep in the car and luckily it wasn't a very cold night. Benj walked to the gas station and I was alone with the kids in a car when a friendly policeman showed up. Since we were near a construction zone, he piled us in his car (imagine me and the 2 kids in the back seat like criminals) and took us to the gas station. Logan was awake and thought it was pretty darn cool. There we waited for an hour until my sweet dad came to pick us up. The jeep was towed to a nearby "town" by a guy named Solly. It was about 1 in the morning by the time we got to bed that night.

I keep telling myself it could've been worse. Thankfully the family is safe and the car is able to be repaired (for a pretty penny). Its still in Inkom as I type this - a little town with a single car repair service, gas station, and grocery store.

However, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at my parents' house. My kids got tons of attention.

Because of a snow storm, we held a little egg hunt indoors for Logan. He thought it was the funnest thing ever.

He got his very own room and slept in a queen-size bed. Lucky kid.

We hope to see lots more of baby M. Hopefully the next trip won't include car troubles. Thanks mom for driving us home. We owe ya big time.

Norah at 4 Months

Well Miss Norah is almost 5 months, so this post is kinda late. I still feel like I haven't found my "rhythm" being a mom of two. We're lucky to be dressed by lunch and I have had no energy to make dinner. I cannot seem to find the right time to exercise. It seems the kids know when I'm up early and decide to ruin my plans. That's right - I blame my lack of exercise on my children. ;) Computer time is a luxury.

Norah is: learning how to grab things and put them in her mouth. She loves to look at her hands and lift her legs so she can see her toes. She rolls onto her tummy but can't roll the other way. She loves patty-cake and 5 Little Monkeys.

She's still a little chub and has THE cutest rolls I've ever seen. As Benj says, her chubby calfs and skinny feet are to blame for her socks always falling off.
At her doctor's appointment, she weighed 15 lbs 2 oz (90%) and is 26.5 inches (95%)

She sure has changed a lot.

Norah is a great sleeper. She takes 2 long naps a day and is sleeping through the night. I'm a very blessed momma.

She is a little drool machine so I'm thinking some teeth may show up soon.

Several people have said when she smiles, she smiles with her whole body. She is such a happy girl. However, she lets me know when she's not happy (usually when she's hungry or frustrated on her tummy). Her hair has been falling out, as is mine, and it looks like it may be coming back in. So far it's pretty dark still.

Although a little blurry, this last picture is my favorite.

So grateful for this little babe. Happy 4 months!
