The Bradley Family

Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa had a fun craft project planned for our visit. They made Christmas ornaments like the ones my Dad made when he was little.

I was impressed with her ability to put the tiny beads onto the needle to string onto the ornament all by herself.

Ta-dah!

What special moments we shared!

We thought Minnie would enjoy some Halloweentime fun at Disneyland.

One of Lena's favorites is the tea cups! Good thing Auntie Heather was there to take her.

Of course we had to visit Mickey!

We joined my parents' block party for a bit.

Then, took Lena for her first trick-or-treat experience. After each house she ran to the driveway saying, "Daddy, look what I got!" and had to sit and find the new treat in her bag.

Could there be a cuter Minnie Mouse?

This is the one.

My mom made this costume for Jen. I'm so glad she held on to it because Lena was beyond excited to wear it.

We took a big family trip to San Francisco over Jen's birthday weekend. This is the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the parking lot for Coit Tower.

Waiting for the trolley. What a treat to have Aunt Christie & Uncle Bill with us too!

This was my second year participating in the CHOC Walk Through The Park at Disneyland (thanks to those of you who helped me raise donations!) Again, it was a successful event and a blessing to be a part of through raising money and praying for the staff and the families who they care for.

The Green Army Men (from Toy Story) told us to "Move! Move! Move!" to the starting line for the 5k walk. Heather/Minnie and I/Daisy decided our costumes from the Disney 5k in September should return for another event.

Fireworks are a great way to start an event!

It's fun to see Mickey and all his friends along the route. Here we are with Boo from Monsters, Inc.

It was a great time for a great cause! I'm so thankful the Lord has kept my sweet Lena healthy!!

Matt went on a guys hiking trip to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon. The hike was easier than expected, the weather was great, & the scenery was spectacular.

After getting a few Mary Blair prints and considering "It's a Small World" is Lena's favorite ride at Disneyland, we decided it would make a fun theme for her new room. Lena is sooo excited about the room and her big girl bed in "her condo." She just wants to be playing in her room all day. I can't believe this is my baby!

Every year we go on a trip with our good friends from college. This year the destination was Cayucos. It's fun to see all the kids enjoying each other.

We had some fun down on the beach.

Lena is checking out the elephant seals.

The Lord has chosen to bless our family with another baby! Baby #2 is due April 25th. Lena is so sweet...wanting to hug & kiss my tummy and talk to the baby. I even heard her (when she was supposed to be taking a nap) praying and thanking Jesus for "the baby in mommy's tummy."

Mimi & Papa planned a fun day at the Zoo for Lena and her cousins.

Day 1

Day 8 - Ready to move up to level 2!

Such an entertainer!

Back in July, Lena & I went down to Vista to visit Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Allen. We had fun at the beach and at the park!
