WOW!!!! Eight years later and I forgot I had this blog!!!

Well, life is much different now eight years later!  We have added two little girls to our family and the boys are all grown up!  I stumbled on this blog today and decided it's time to update!  I'm sure no one reads these anymore, but I'll use it like a journal! Adeline Mae Page was born July 4, 2010 in Logan, Utah and we moved to Idaho a year later.  Mariah Anne Page was born September 15, 2012 in Rigby, Idaho.  We live in Moreland, Idaho and life is still as crazy as ever! I'll probably start with recent events and then try to catch up a little at a time.

Cabin again....

We went to the cabin again over Labor Day for a relaxing weekend and ended up getting sick with the flu instead. It was a fun time even though we all shared the bathroom a little too much! I didn't take too many pictures though. Here's a picture of Hayden and his friend Patrick hanging out in front of the gold dredge.
We stopped at the fish hatchery and Maddie loved looking at the salmon! She got so excited every time she saw one.
Grandma and Grandpa played Chinese Checkers with the kids and learned that kids like to cheat while playing games!
We rented a paddle boat at Red Fish Lake and the kids had a blast!!

Bradley Family Reunion

We had our Bradley family reunion a few weeks ago. The theme was "The Amazing Race!" It was a lot of fun! We were divided into eight teams and did several different competitions throughout the day. It was lots of fun! Colton was on the red team. He had changed into different clothes by this time of the day. We were having a water relay with sponges and buckets.
Paul was on the brown team and I was on the blue team (the winners!!!!).
Hayden was in charge of the camara for the yellow team. He loves to take pictures!
I just had to include this one cause I thought it was so cute! My dad was on the orange team and participated until the end! He won the sportsmanship award I think!
Here is a group photo of most of the family. We were only missing about ten people that day so it was well attended! We had a great time!!!!

Cabin 2009

We spent a little over a week at Paul's parent's cabin in Idaho about a month ago. The cabin in halfway between Challis and Stanley. It is the most relaxing and peaceful place in the world! And, it's absolutely beautiful! We did lots of fun things and had a great time. The following pictures are just a sample of our amazing week! We went to the fish hatchery in Stanley. We were there during the salmon run so it was incredible! I was salivating just watching the salmon come in!!! It was really very fascinating and incredible to see the salmon swim upstream. They were HUGE! This picture is actually of one of the employees taking the trout out of the hatchery to take them to the river.
We went to Red Fish lake and rented a couple of paddle boats for an hour. It was really fun but hard on the calf muscles!
Our cabin is on the other side of the river and the road in to the cabin is not a great one. So we parked our cars on the highway and took the trolley car across most of the time. The kids loved it!
We stopped at EBR1 in Arco to see the museam for the first nuclear power plant. It was an interesting tour.
This is the Salmon River in the backyard of the cabin! We saw many floaters going down the river during the week but I didn't have the camara out.
We played games during our down time. Here is a picture of some of the crew having a great time!
We went to Custer one day and toured the ghost town. We actually didn't see much of the ghost town because almost everyone became fascinated with panning for gold. Some of the boys got gold fever and spent most of the week panning!
We got a flat tire at the gold dredge. Paul had to get a little dirty to take care of it.
We went swimming at a natural hot spring pool in Challis. The water was being cooled down by an inlet of cold water so it was only 98 degrees the day we were there. It was a little too warm for me but it was fun. I think we would have enjoyed it a little more if we had gone later afternoon! Here, Colton was preparing to dive for a ball coming his way!
One night, the guys all started wrestling so Paul got down with them and showed his stuff.
It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back! That is the way to vacation! Thanks to the Oswalds and the Browns for the great memories!!!!

Airshow

We went to the airshow at Hill Air Force Base last week and had a great time. The Oswalds invited us to go with them so we left early that morning and looked around at all of the exhibits during the morning. They started the airshow with the model planes showing off. It was fun to watch them. Throughout the day, there were several different planes/pilots showing off. It was fun to watch their tricks and admire their courage. The sun was hiding behind the clouds part of the day but it was bright enough that it hurt my eyes. I was filming it all so sometimes, I didn't do a great job since I couldn't see. These are definitely NOT professional videos. We had a great time though. The Thunderbirds came out in the afternoon and showed off quite a bit. In the last video, you can't really tell what happened. I was standing on our cooler so I could get a better shot and I was filming 4 of the Thunderbirds. One of them came out of nowhere and did a fly-by and scared the crap out me! I fell off the cooler and didn't get a very good shot of what happened. It was pretty funny.

Our friends, the Oswalds.

Just Because It's Tuesday....

So, last week was not a fun one for me. Tuesday was an especially hard day so when I got to the office that afternoon, my sweet husband dropped by with a beautiful vase full of daisies. The card said, "Just because it's Tuesday...." I, of course, started crying and everyone was jealous! (Well, maybe not jealous but I like to believe they were.) Just another sign that I have the most thoughtful husband in the world! He takes good care of me!
