Jump Drawing

Brian uses large prints at works with electrical drawings on them. We thought Bradley might like them to draw on. He has not done much drawing with his markers, that is until he discovered he can "Jump Draw".

Hiking

With the good weather we have been having lately we decided to go on a hike. We let Bradley lead the way. It was a pretty long hike and Bradley walked most of it.


Bradley stopped to check out our progress, looking back toward Ogden below.

Bradley kept wanting to go higher and higher. He enjoys the up hill climb but doesn't like going down.

Choices, which way will he choose?

I guess we go left.

On our way down.

Happy?

Happy? As in, are you happy? Now, just imagine being asked this question by a two-year-old at the exact moment you're not really sure you're happy with that two-year-old. What do you say to that? It's classic and makes you melt, of course you can't say anything but, Yes, I'm happy, how are you?

Yep, that's Bradley these days. Definitely a two-year-old, sometimes absolutely irrational, but always there when you least expect it to say, "Happy?"

Catching Up

I intended to just make a post about Valentine's day, but when I went to pull the pictures off of the camera, I realized I had a lot of catch up to do. Keep scrolling down to catch up on our recent adventures.

Before you do too much scrolling though, check out my stubborn boy. I'm not sure what he's thinking, except that he's tired of being stuck inside and really wants to spend more time outside, but here he is hanging out just outside our screen door. He has started to do this every time we come home from any errand or outing. He's really stubborn about coming in too. Most of the time I have to pick him up and bring him in and then listen to him throw a tantrum. Oh my two-year-old, trying so hard to be able to make all the decisions for himself.

Heavy Reader

Bradley likes to climb onto and play on our bed. He usually ends up grabbing the books on my side of the bed. This day he decided to sit back and read a little. It's no easy reading for my boy, he went right for the hard stuff. Here he is reading "Jesus The Christ".

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a snowy day on Valentine's Day so we spent most of our time hanging out at home. Bradley opened some of his Valentines in the morning and was very excited about all of the candy. Here he is working on a sucker and drawing a picture with the stickers he got from Grandma Kim and Grandpa Dave.



And here is the picture. He put the stickers on the paper and then colored with his markers. Just as a side note, I am a huge fan of Crayola's washable markers.



In the afternoon we decided to make a snow man. This is the first snow man we've made with Bradley. He wasn't very excited to help make it, but he does like to look out his window to make sure it's still there. He also loved just playing out in the snow.

Snow Shoeing

After being stuck in the house with colds and infections for most of January, we decided to get out of the house and above the inversion and try snow shoeing. The day turned out to be rainy, so we didn't spend as much time outside as we would have liked, but we still had a lot of fun. Here we are after our trek in the snow.
