Bradley Baby Pusher

Bradley decided that if Mom could push a baby in a stroller then he could do it too!

More Trains!

There was an old steam engine coming through Ogden for the annual reenactment of the Golden Spike Ceremony on Sunday.


We took Bradley and Daniel to see it. Well, we didn't expect Daniel to even wake up and he didn't disappoint us in that.

"Bradley was absolutely fascinated with the size of them in real life!"

Bradley loved it and we spent quite a bit of time looking at all the other trains the Union Station has on display. Bradley kept saying, "more trains, more trains".

Bradley on the way to meet his new brother




Bradley wasn't sure about this new addition at first.

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.
