No, No, Bad

They say toddlers repeat what they hear as they are starting to talk. Evidently with Bradley he has picked up, "No, No, Bad." I didn't realize that I use this phrase that often, but he has been saying it to the cars and stuffed animals he has been playing with lately. I have yet to figure out the context of the reprimand the toys are receiving, I don't see that they are doing anything wrong. But it is kind of funny to hear Bradley playing and then suddenly say, "No, No, Bad." I just wish he would have picked up on a more positive statement.

My growing boy

We recently had our family pictures taken. It went pretty well, Bradley wasn't the most cooperative, but we did get a couple of really cute shots of him. This is my favorite. He is such a stud. I love how he put his hand in his pocket.

Cabin Family Reunion

The Ekstrom's had our first family reunion with my immediate family.

We have decided to do it each September.

It was fun and the weather was excellent.

We were able to go on a hike with Bradley. Our map wasn't correct but we were able to find an ATV trail that we could follow making the hike easier.

Cabin

Bradley, Grandma and Grandpa Ekstrom, and I (Brian) went up to the cabin for a few hours to do a few things for my Grandparents. Bradley had a lot of fun.

The determined hiker.


Moose! Bradley kept Meowing at it!

Peek A Boo

Bradley likes to play peek a boo in the curtains. I was lucky enough to have the camera take a picture when I wanted it so I thought I would share them.

Bowling

Friday night we wanted to go bowling, but after calling around the prices seemed a little too much. So we decided to make our own bowling alley. Bradley seemed to have a really good time. He now says, "bowl" and likes to throw the ball.







He likes to cheer after he hits the "pins"!

Happy Birthday Brayden

I went to Logan today for Brayden's birthday party.
By all the smiles it looks like it was a success!
