1st Day of Kindergarten!!!!!!!

Since I was very sick with pregnancy, I couldn't go out to the bus so these pictures will have to make do. I can't believe that he is old enough to be in school or that I am old enough to have a school-age child. His teacher's name is Mrs. Parr and she is really nice. We like her alot.

What a big boy he is!!!!!

Ready to go get on the bus and start his school career!!!!! I cried my eyes out after he was gone!!!!!!!

Finally writing his name, YEAH!!!!!!!!

I cannot tell you how LONG I have fought with him to write his name and do it all by himself without any help and he finally did!!!!!!

And we worked on his middle and last name and he did that too!!!!!

I was so proud of him!!!!!

Bryson feeling a little left out with all this school stuff!!!!!!

Can I just say how much I LOVE this kid!!!!!! He is definitely my comic relief, that is for sure!!!! He was feeling so left out b/c of all the pictures we were taking of Christopher, he wanted in on the action too!!!!!!!

What a great dollar store find and, boy, have we gotten our moneys worth out of it!!!!!

Another one of his silly looks!!!!!!

I love this picture, he looks so grown-up in it!!!!!!

Christopher's 1st day of Summer School!!!!!!!

Our county offers a summer school class for rising kindergarteners to prepare them for school in the fall and since he had no formal preschool, I thought this would be just perfect for him and it was!!!!! He loved it! It was only 5 weeks long and half a day.

Here he is all ready for school like a big boy!!!!

Getting ready to go to school!!!!!! Love the great smile!!!!!!!

Christopher turns 5!!!!!

Christopher's birthday was July 1st and we had a very fun birthday party for him, even though I was sick!!!! We had it at the local fire department and boy was it fun!!!!! The firefighters were so sweet and kind and loved having us there as much as we loved being there!!!!!!

This is of Christopher, Tyson, and his cousin Mollie, and of course the firefighter. They let them get on the fire trucks and look around and boy, did they have fun!!!!

Mollie & Christopher posing for a picture!!!!!

Bryson & Christopher-Best Buddies forever!!!!!

Todd the firefighter & Christopher! He put on all his equipment to show the kids.

Back in the kitchen, opening presents!!! YEAH for birthdays!!!!

Daddy made this cake for him and did a GREAT job!!!!!

Blowing out his candles!!!!

I love that smile, I can't believe my baby is 5 years old already, where has all the time gone?!?!?!?

I must of NOT pushed my easy button!!!!!!

Well, I want to apologize for not posting anything for months on end first off!!!!! Secondly, I wanted to say that most of you already know but we are expecting and I have been VERY VERY sick to say the least. In early pregnancy, in a 5 week time period, I had lost 21 pounds. Overall, I have been hospitalized 3 times and have been to the ER about 14 times or so. I have had to 2 picc lines, the first one got infected so they had to put a new one in. All this b/c I had for the 2nd time, a disease that some pregnant women can get that is called Hypermemosis, basically in a nut shell it is SEVERE nausea and vomiting with no relief in sight!!!!!! There are many days that you feel like you are going to DIE!!!!!! So b/c of this, this will be our last child!!!! When I have my c-section, Dr. Smith will tie my tubes!!!!!! I am VERY okay with that though b/c we are having a GIRL and I know my family will be complete then. Plus, I am 33 and I just don't see myself having kids after I am 35. Her name will be Ava Grace which I just love!!!!

My Great Grandma's name was Ada and I have a cousin on that same side of the family whos name is Eva, so I am mushing the names together to come up with Ava. And as for Grace, my Great Aunt Lady's real name is Eleanor Grace, so Grace will be her middle name after her. I decided to kept it all in the Bradshaw family. Aunt Lady is Great Grandma Ada's daughter and Eva is her granddaughter. Plus, she will have to have an "A" name b/c Christopher is "C" and Bryson is "B", so it was only fitting for my last child to have an "A" name for C, B, A.

This is little Ava Grace on 4D Ultrasound back on October 12th. It just amazes me the technology that we have this day and age. My sister said that she has "Angelina Jolie" lips, I would have to agree with her!!!!!! I can't wait to kiss them when she is born. As for when she will be here well that day is soon approaching. January 11th, 2010, she will make her appearance into this world. So her birthday will be 01-11-10, so cool, I think!!!!!
