I know forever right?.....

I know it has been forever. I thought I would just put a few pics of what we have been up to. Not a lot but some. My 3 younger girls have been in dance. They have loved it. Even though I struggle a little bit with dance, it has been fun to watch them.

Kyle wasn't lucky enough to have any boys but at least he has Sydney...she is just as good. She loves to go riding with him. See who needs any boys anyways:) Sydney isn't into dance. She is her too much like her mother. She loves all sports, horses, and anything that is competitive. It has been so much fun watching her play basketball. What makes it so fun is that she loves it as much as I do.

Tell it how it really is!

On Sunday I was substituting in Kamry's primary class so Courtney was sitting on my lap. During sharing time the teacher said, "You girls and boys are sweet and innocent." As she continued Courtney leaded over to me and said, "Mom boys are NOT sweet!!!" She totally thought the teacher was lying. I have 5 little boys in my home that I watch and I think they are totally sweet but apparently Courtney doesn't think so. It was so funny. Leave it to Courtney to tell it how it really is.

New Addition to our family!!!

It's not what you are thinking. This house is done having babies. I would like to introduce you to Charlie. He is our pet muskrat.

This is the big bush by our house that he has moved into. At first he fell down into the window well and scarred Kamry to death. But Kyle scooped him out and we thought we would never see him again. But I guess he liked us.

We have been feeding him gold fish crackers and he seems to like them. The girls have fun watching for him out the window. We didn't know what he was for sure so we had to google what a muskrat looked like. And sure enough that is what he is. I know he still is a rat. But I like to think of him as a large outside hamster. Okay yes I have cabin fever already. Bare with me I'm sure it will soon pass.

New Years Resolution #5..........

.............become a better blogger. I hope this isn't like my last years resolutions because I actually want to work on this. I enjoy reading other people's blogs so I thought I need to do better on my own. So along with 10 other resolutions I will really try to work on this. Here are some cute pics of our girls that our amazing photographer (aka my sister Penny) took over the holidays.

Happy Halloween

After a lot of spray painting hair, hairspray, candy, parties, trunk or treat, carnival, dinner, sticky hands, spills, fish ponds, spook alleys, cake walks, mom complaining about dressing up too many times, babies crying cuz of scary masks, and lots of fun,

Halloween at the Bradshaw house has come and gone. Though it is a lot of work to get through this crazy day, the kids sure had a lot of fun. It's a good thing we only have to do this once a year.

Some summer pictures, not a lot, my bad!!!

I will be the first to admit that I really sucked it up on pictures this summer. I don't know if I was just so busy to remember or I might just be a loser. Here are some and I vow to try to do better.

Daddy's Little Cowgirl!!

Sydney was in a horse 4H this summer and loved it. She definitely has more Bradshaw in her than Hymas. They had a little competition at the end of the class. Sydney did so good. She won 3 ribbons and was almost the youngest in her class. Her dad was so proud.
