2012 Grad!

Bradley graduated from preschool on Thursday, May 24th, 2012.  So thankful for everything that led him to this special point and so happy for what’s next in this little man’s life.  He may be getting big but he will always be our baby.  Here our the pictures of our PROUD night with Bradley the 2012 Graduate!

     

They all walked in to the commencement song.

 

They performed a small song from each month of the year.

Bradley is last because of his name so while he was waiting, he and another “W” were getting a little stir crazy and silly.  Thankfully it was quiet and wasn’t obnoxious or anything.  It was cute not anything bad.

It went from silly to “when is this going to be over!” The parents were laughing.  This is only 20 kids, imagine how he will feel after waiting for 100 plus when in high school.

His long drawn out theatrical performance ended with a standing and clapping ovation.  Since no one clapped in-between each child being held their diploma everyone clapped after his name was called and Miss Nina said “And finally Bradley Woodward!” he ran to her and she picked him up and hugged him. It was the sweetest thing.

Mommy with her graduate. Unfortunately Daddy was out of town working and he would have loved to be there.  I made sure to give him undivided attention and dropped the other two munchkins off to play and be watched.

 

 

The two friends celebrating a great year together.  A great two years together!

They made autograph books for each child, had a cake with each child’s name on it and we got some memento's to take home.

 

In his little cap and gown.

He really does his name correctly.  He does this when he is lazy or in a hurry or maybe even a little over/bored of schoolwork.  Very frustrating.  He also only started doing it towards the end of the year.  He went through being “burnt out” with preschool I think.  Obviously, since one of the star corners says he likes school because they have the best toys! Huh, Really?!!!!!

It was a great night and everything was done to make it a special moment for them. It definitely was.  We are sad to say goodbye to friends we have made since the class will be split up to several different schools but we are ready for kindergarten!  Most of all we are glad you had this outlet to have fun while learning. Great Job Bradley Bear!

 

Kisses from Mommy & Daddy

Bradley’s Spring Program

Another year, another school program.  It never seems to get old though when it is about your kids and being proud of them! On March 29th Bradley and his preschool class took the stage. They worked very hard learning words and skits to six different songs that they showed off for their Animal Antics performance.  This night was a good night for Bradley but not so much for mommy.

I forgot to dress him in a white shirt like stated on this paper that I just found today and read.  I also forgot my camera since I was rushing (as always) out the door.  All the pictures are compliments of Liz.  Thanks so much! Bradley I am glad you did not notice your clothes against all your friends and I hope you are getting used to this because I am sure I will drop the figurative ball on many other things in your lifetime.

Bradley had a part in song four. Teasing Mr. Alligator.  He was Mr. Alligator himself! He did really good being a mean serious alligator who “snapped those monkeys right out of that tree.”

That will teach them to tease! ;)

 

 

Daddy, Easton and Gavin watching the show! Gavin will be up on stage in the two year old class next year.  He was already practicing doing the motions and repeating the words and clapping for himself.

  

The Alligator and The Mouse! Normally not seen together in the wild as friends but for tonight they were!

Since I forgot the camera.  I handled the video taking with the ever trusty iPhone!

Rewind Valentine

Between our Anniversary and Bradley’s Birthday was Valentine’s Day and it was a heart filled day enough to not forget about it.  How could I not report on my four Valentine’s I am lucky enough to have.  They are each my world!

  

My Valentine’s gift from Brad.  And he did not forget the dessert either.  White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake (WCRC) I eat is so much I needed to do that, give it its own acronym.

 

A little Valentine for the boys. 

    

 

Thankful Liz watched the boys for me so I could go to school to be party mom. 

Prayer time gets my heart every time! <3

 

Giving me my Valentine gift.  I am totally loving my bling necklace.  

The photos I sent to Grandparents. 

 

That night Bradley went and switched his pajamas to Toy Story once he saw Easton had a pair from Chase.  He had to take a picture.  This kid is funny about matching pajamas.  I love it while it lasts. 

A lot of February parties.  Here is one at his friend Matthew’s.

 

Team Party.  I am thankful we have not moved away from all these wonderful people. 

Boozing it up by the bonfire singing their blues away.  Brad was on drums! No really…Brian brought drums for him to play!

I think I will see if I fit Daddy’s hats yet?

 

Waking up Daddy by horseback ride. 

When Bradley was away they were left to figure out how to play together.  The biggest thing I noticed having “one child gone” for the weekend was the house was SO SO much quieter.  I still had to be on my toes with these two roaming about but there wasn't as much talking, complaining, screaming and loud running going on.

Yesterday Brad gave Bradley his first ever BB gun for his birthday.  We have had so much fun shooting at cans in the backyard! We all know Daddy wishes we had property we could shoot all guns on so this has sufficed since it is still a gun!

Yesterday we met our friend who moved to Georgia at the park.  She was here visiting.  Ashlyn is my friend below but above Gavin thought this red headed women was his mommy or something.  He was totally smitten and he was her little shadow.  I should consider dying my hair red but Brad would never go for it!

   

We ended the day with cupcakes and as the saying goes “If the answer is cupcakes, the question is irrelevant!”

There you have it.  The missing pieces from Valentines Day to yesterday.
