Thanksgiving 2010 - California

This year we went to California for Thanks giving. We had a lot of fun! One day we went down to Laguna Beach to play in the water. It was pretty cold!

We stayed until sunset.



The kids had a blast!



We took some great pictures!


Here are all the Bradford kids (with the exception of Aimee's husband Chris)



We celebrated Thanksgiving in Upland, CA at Linda's sister Marilyn's house. It was very nice.

This photo is of all of Grandma Rose's family.

It's a girl

When we found out we were having a girl, my sweet friend Jodie showed up on my door step with a bouquet of balloons! She is such a sweetheart. Thanks Jodie!

Halloween 2010

So it's been a whole since I posted anything. Here is our family picture on Halloween.

Adam had 2 costumes this year. He was a moto-cross racer and Deadly Nator from How to train a dragon. I only got a picture of the moto-cross

Since our sweet friend Amy seemed so disappointed with my "No Leather Trouser post", here you go! You asked for it. You got it. Unfortunately, it was the only one I had.

KISS "Hottest Show on Earth" tour 09/10

Last Wednesday, Trevor & I went to the"Hottest Show on Earth" KISS concert at Rio Tinto. We had a blast! . Our seats were great!. I really didn't know the music, but they put on a great show!

This is Trevor's 3rd Kiss Concert!

Top songs include:

God Gave Rock N Roll to You

Rock N Roll All Night and Party Every Day

Love Gun

Detroit Rock City

Love it Loud

Lick it up

They played a lot of stuff from their new album: Sonic Boom.

Paul Stanley rode a zip line into the middle of the crowd and played, while Gene Simons took it to the lights and played about 50 feet off the ground.

Trevor is so funny! He sent a email out to some of his friends that said:

2 tickets to the KISS concert = $110

1 concert tee = $40

Attending the “Hottest Show on Earth” with

my sweetheart = priceless.

P.S. “God gave Rock N’ Roll to you . . . “ Paul Stanley

Crazy Moose

In August, Trevor, I and the kids went with David Eric, Amy, and their children to Wasatch National Forest. We were having a little picnic and riding the ATV when 3 moose came into the area. There was a bull and 2 cows.

It was pretty exciting to see the moose and I was excited to use my new lens to take some close up pictures. Pretty soon the excitement wore off and we went back to what we were doing when I realized I had lost my sunglasses. I decided to walk back to where I was taking pictures. As I looked at the ground, I heard a man yelling run! I looked up and one of the cow moose were coming cross the pond toward me. I ran back to the road and decided I just wasn't going to find my glasses. I talked to the man for a few minutes and started to walk down the road to where Trevor, Amy and the kids were. David had taken Jacqueline to ride the ATV.

As I started to walk, I hear the man yell at me " RUN! RUN FAST! SHE'S COMING AFTER YOU!" At this point I look over my shoulder to see the female moose running full speed at me. I ran as fast as I could and yelled to Trevor and Amy "GET THE KIDS IN THE TRUCK!" I was panicked. I just knew the moose was going to trample me and then maybe one of the kids. As I made it to the truck, the moose was less then a car length behind me. Trev, and Amy had managed to got all the kids safe . I threw myself in the truck and that stupid moose stopped in front of us and just stared at me. Thank heavens for the row of trees the block the moose from the road, if they were not there she would have got me. I think she just wanted to scare me and she for sure did that! Then she went into the area where we has set up our picnic and then wandered into the trees. I was shaking. I have had several nightmares over this experience. Needless to say I am not a fan of Moose anymore.

The Moose above is the one that chased me. Stupid Moose!

Our BIG 1st grader

Here are pictures of Adam's first day of the 1st grade. His teacher is Mrs. Jeppson this year. She a little older, and will be really good for Adam. He loves school! His favorite parts are Recess and Lunch!

Jacqueline's first day of school

It's been a while since I last posted anything. I'll try and do better. Below are pictures of Jacqueline's first day of school. She started the 7th grade this year, which means she is in Junior High. She was pretty excited and nervous.

I will post some of Adam's first day of school and hopefully some of our summer activities soon.

I thought this was a fun picture of Adam peeking through the fence.
(David & Linda gave me a new lens for my camera for my birthday and I am loving it!)
Here are the Dodgers. This will be a fun season. Good Luck Adam!

Adam's Birthday

Today was Adam's "6th" birthday. He is growing up to quick. This is the birthday cake I make for him. Nothing fancy, but kind of fun!
We had him go on a little scavenger hunt to find his birthday present.
He was pretty surprised!
Yes, we got him a motorcycle - a for real one, just like his Dad's as Adam said.
After a little instruction from Dad on how the brakes work.....
He was off!

Then off to the Bee's game with Papa & Angela and her kids.
What a fun night! Trevor even had them put it was Adam's birthday on the score board.
Happy birthday Adam, We Love you!
