Looks like they are deep in a serious conversation.

Some shots from Bradley’s 3rd birthday parties.  We had one at home, one at Nonna’s and one at Aunt Catherine’s – it was a bit hectic and we probably won’t be doing that again.

Here you are at home getting ready to tear into your presents inside your new sandbox.

Here you are at Nonno’s house.

And finally at Aunt Catherine’s.

We went out the first day of trout, for panfish at Loyalhanna – didn’t do very well, but had a blast at the beach and a nice picnic in the truck afterward.

As you can see on our walls, Bradley is quite the artist and is very proud of his work.  We go to the museum a lot to see all the different animals and this time we decided to expose him to a little art to see what his reaction was – needless to say, we’ll be going back quite soon.

Our wall of fame…

A lady was watching you look around and gave you some paper and a clipboard so that you could sketch the paintings that you liked best – what a hit, we’ll be bringing a notebook with us from now on.  Complete strangers were coming up and saying how impressed they were with how seriously you were concentrating on the art pieces.

You took a minute to pose with who brought you.

Outside the exhibits, they had a station where you could color and trace leaves to take home – this was a hit too.

Loved watching your feet dangle here while you worked away.

What a blast we had here!  We hid the eggs outside without you knowing and then had you look out the window at something and you noticed one we had just sitting on top of the sand box.  You completely flipped out and started screaming, we barely got clothes on you before you bolted out the door.

Bradley had his little heart set on going on a picnic Easter Sunday, so we packed up lunch and headed for the hills.  I’m sure it looks and sounds silly, but it is probably the best Easter meal that I’ve ever had.  Thanks Buddy!

Need we say more?

Daddy happened to be shooting the camera at the perfect time to catch a cup falling over during the egg coloring festivities.

We let Bradley run completely wild in the mud on occasion, in fact we’ve had to strip him down on the porch several times.  Here he is just getting into first gear.  We have an old stroller that he likes to get into and get sloshed through the mud with.  Good practice for when he gets his first 4X4.
