Bradley family pictures

This is most of my family. My parents, siblings, spouses and nieces and nephews. There were a few that couldn't be there but it is sure the most updated picture of us! It is a HUGE, FUN group!

This is a picture taken at my grandpa's funeral, Feb. 2008. My parents in the middle front, surrounded by all of my siblings and most of the spouses. It isn't often that we are all together so we had to document it!

Random Pictures

The boys in front of a monster truck at the cruise-in. The three babies born in the Bradley family this year. Kynli (left) was laughing at Bradley (center), who was crying and Maddie (right) just gave him dirty looks. It was hilarious. Colton at one of his baseball games. Paul and Lisa watching the baseball game in the hot sun. Colton showing Grandma Munk how to stack cups (speed stacking). He is pretty good. He can do a round in about 15 seconds.

Aquarium Pictures

We were in Salt Lake for my nephews baptism so we went to the aquarium while we were there. Here is a picture of Paul and the boys by one of the tanks. Here is Colton petting the stingrays. Hayden petting the stingrays...the stingers have been removed. The boys looking at one of the tanks. The pictures are kind of dark because the lights are low and I had to put the camera on a special setting. (No flash allowed.) Cameron was reaching into some boxes with various fish in them.

Bradley Family Reunion

We had the Bradley family reunion a couple of weeks ago and had a great time in Bear Lake! Almost everyone was there and that is an accomplishment with my family! Colton was gone to scout camp and joined us Saturday! My batteries were dead so I didn't get any pictures of him but Cameron and Hayden got in to a few! Cameron is a magnet for some of the cousins.......Here he is getting dog-piled by some of the girls.

Cameron with his notorious pose! We were just getting ready to eat dinner and Cameron had to pose for the camera!

Bradley Family Reunion II

We had the Bradley family reunion a couple of weeks ago and the theme was the Olympics. My sister Linette put a lot of work into the weekend and we had a great time! During the opening ceremonies, each family was in charge of a performance so of course I asked Hayden to take care of our portion of the program. He sang part of Jim Brickman's " Love of My Life." It was a fun weekend!

Hayden's Performance

Hayden has been at choir camp all week long at USU. They did a musical theater program yesterday and he was Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. They learned some spiritual music, Disney songs, and some various other music. He had a great time and learned a lot. They have a great music program here and he was excited to learn from some great conductors.

Wedding cake

I did a wedding cake for Amber's brother last week and I think it turned out pretty well. She is from Russia and wanted something simple so we did a two-tier cake with ribbon and flowers. I was quite pleased. It has been a year since I have done any cakes. It is harder to want to do them since I got married....no time and too many hands around to accidentally touch them. I used to do quite a few of them. It is fun to see how pretty they turn out though. So, here's the latest addition to the creations. Jaxson, my nephew just had to get in the picture too!

New pictures

Our friend DeeDee came over the other day so we convinced her to snap some family pictures in our neighbor's front yard. I can't believe how much the boys have grown!!!

Stuff

Well, life has been crazy the past few weeks! Between family reunions, work, wedding cakes, girls camp and gardening/canning, I haven't had any free time to do anything! But life is good and we have jobs and food to eat so I can't complain, right? My mind has been focused on being grateful for life and health. My brother Larry told me today about a friend of ours that was in a bad car accident over the weekend and I have been thinking about how unpredictable life is and it was a good reminder to be grateful for every minute. Sometimes life can get hard and it is so easy to get caught up in the trials of life that I sometimes forget to live life. There have been a lot of changes in our lives, especially mine, during the past year and I have had to learn to have a positive attitude, no matter what! It has been a challenge and I have some good days and some bad days but I think I am adjusting alright. Luckily I have a wonderful husband who helps so much! He is constantly making me laugh and helping me around the house so my stress level stays somewhat low! Hayden has been living with us this summer and it has been fun to have him in our home. He is always laughing and creating some excitement. These boys have definitely blessed my life! Who knew that it would be so easy to love? Well, those are my thoughts for the day! Hopefully soon I can get this blog updated again!
