Birthday Boys


Aren't my boys handsome??!!

All the kids wanted to read Bradock's new Peter Pan book from Great-Grandma Flaherty.

The perfect gift for a 1 year old...wrapping paper and boxes.


Bath time was needed after the green frosting from the birthday cake got everywhere. My nephew, Kasen, licked Grandma's couch with his tongue and turned it green...reminder avoid bright colored frosting.


Bradock looks so bummed that he had to stop the festivities to take a pic with mom and dad. Can't I get back to my cake already?



Bradock loves to give kisses...open mouth and sometimes with a little tongue. We are going to need to break that before his first date.



The other day we were all playing outside and the next thing I know I turn around and Bradock is chillin with Maggie in her dog house. Yuck! Why do little boys like such gross things?

This has been a fun and busy week. Brett turned 28 on Tues. April 15th and Bradock turned 1 on April 17th. I cannot believe my baby is one and I now have a toddler (well, I guess he's not really a baby anymore). My mom was in town this week to help my sis re-coop after surgery, so she watched Bradock Wed-Fri. He had so much hanging out with Grandma and Aunt Sarah. Yesterday we got Bradock's one year pics, which I will post when I get them back. We decided to celebrate birthdays on Sunday with all the Flaherty clan. We had so much fun eating Terri's fabulous mexican food and eating icecream cake, thanks to Dairy Queen. Bradock was so facsinated with the candle and instead of blowing it out he wanted to touch it. We decided we didn't want any burnt little fingers, so we quickly tossed that idea. Bradock had fun with all the cousins opening presents and just hanging out. Can anyone tell me where the time has gone?? Bradock now loves to give high fives and kisses and I think he's really close to walking. It's amazing to think that just a year ago I was a nervous wreck hoping that this little miracle of mine was really going to happen. I can't imagine my life without him and Brett and thank my Heavenly Father for sending me such wonderful boys.

Donnie,
Go to hear your comment. About two or so years ago I saw Brett at our Stake Conf. and he saw my boys and was quizzing me on adoption. At the time I wondered why but then I hear that you guys had adopted too. Congrats, your little guy is so cute! We should share stories sometime. Maybe we will see you at the FSA temple night in May. Anyway... Megan Hess (aka Price) does my hair. She lives in Long Beach but comes here every 6 weeks to do hair at Hair Do. If you would like her number leave your e-mail and I will send it on over! By the way thanks for the complement... I am growing it out and it's been a rough road but Megan has really helped my sanity.

I am still laughing over Brett's pedro mustache & the word "hawaiian haystacks".... gross I hate facial hair on Layne.

I can't believe Braddock is 1!! He is so cute...I love that he gives open mouth kisses...I hope Sarah is doing okay....that is so nice your mom watched Braddock for those days. I would LOVE to go shopping with you...if you don't mind going with a whale! lol
