Grandma came to visit!

I just wanted to post some pictures from our fun visit with Grandma!! We had such a great time. I'll admit, I can't wait to come back home to Utah, even though we've loved it here! It will be great to be with family again. Anyway, here is our trip.

Grandma and Bradley at the Albuquerque Temple

Also at the Temple

These next pictures are all on top of Sandia Peak. We took the tram up there and ate lunch at the restaurant on top. Yummy.

This is us on the tram back down.

Shopping. Grandma spoiled us while she was here.

Titan waiting for his meal...he'll be waiting awhile if he sits in Bradley's chair though!

Brad walking with Dad

Bradley being on his best behavior for Grandma.

I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Alright, I finally have some footage of Bradley walking. I cannot believe how fast he went from his first few steps to a lot more. I think he'll be walking for real by the end of this week, but what do I know. But here is some video. I just couldn't cut any of it out, so I apologize for the length. But it just made me happy. (Well, all of it except the part where he dodges mom to go to Grandma...) I'm really glad my mom has been down this weekend. What a perfect time for her to be here. It has been a great weekend. Anyway, lights, camera, action...

Bradley started walking today!!

Yes, you read it right. Bradley took his first steps today! It was one of those awesome mom moments and I was so proud of my little boy. Sorry, no pictures yet. He took me off guard. I was about to get him ready for bed, so I had his jammies out and was getting him over to me to put them on. So I held out my hands and had him walk towards me and then I let go of his hands (at which point, he usually sits down) and he took a step! Mike was sitting right there, so I was like, "Mike, Brad took a step by himself!" So Mike looks and I was positive that I had imagined it and that he wouldn't do it once Mike was watching. But no, Mike looked, I did it again, only this time I let go sooner and he took 3 consecutive steps all by himself! Anyway, I know I'm being a mom, but it really was the coolest thing. Man, it was awesome. After that, we tried again, but he was done for the night. It's been a great day.

Pictures

This is Bradley's drawer. He loves to put stuff in it. I'm always excited to open it because I find the most random stuff. Diapers, toys, pens, cat collars, books, you name it. If something is lost, he has probably put it in this drawer. This is the first time, however, that he has put himself in it. And it cracked me up.

This picture is just more proof that my husband is the greatest. I go to workout; I come home just to find out that he took Bradley on a walk to the nearby Smith's just to buy me flowers. What a great guy.

Okay, this picture just cracks me up because Brad has started posing for the camera. But, the funny part about it is that he knows that it will flash, so he'll give this great big smile, but close his eyes. It makes me laugh.

Getting Bradley dressed and undressed is like taking part in a Rodeo. What else can I say?

And, last but not least, these three pictures are of Bradley talking to his Grandma and Grandpa. He loves to touch their faces. (and his own!) And he is always so perplexed when he can't find them behind the computer screen. He does the same with his other Grandparents as well, but unfortunately, I have not as yet caught that on camera.

Pictures of Bradley and Titan

Nothing like a good bare-bottomed picture once in a while. Dressing the little guy is an adventure every day. Titan continues to be his usual adorable self, helping with laundry, snuggling with Kim and making camp in my shorts.

Family 2010 Trailer

So, I finally finished our Family Movie. However, I deemed it unwise to put the whole thing up here for your enjoyment, so here is an out-of-the-box trailer for your viewing pleasure.



Now, who doesn't want to watch our family video in its entirety. I mean, seriously.
