Sister Time

Emsleigh and Kesed are finally to the age where they play together all the time. It is fun to watch them develop a relationship by taking care of each other and enjoying each others company. Emsleigh is very concerned about Kesed's safety, making sure she doesn't run off or always has a hand while walking. Kesed is very concerned about Emsleigh's health. If Emsleigh even lets out the slightest sneeze, cough, yawn, Kesed says "you ok?" On the other hand, it is not so fun to constantly be talking about sharing and treating others how you want to be treated and dealing with fights. But all part of sisterhood and parenthood and learning to be more like Jesus. I pray they continue to become the best of friends.

(Window markers...don't ever buy them....a terrible thing to clean. I refuse to thoroughly clean my door until they are dried out or I get so annoyed that I just throw them away!) 

We remember

and thank you to those who always remember with us.

Emsleigh Ruth is 4!!

On March 18th, Ems turned 4! The night before we had two special families over for pizza and cake to celebrate. 

I should have tried to take a group picture at the beginning of the night instead of past bed time.

On her actual birthday we headed up to Phoenix to eat a cinnamon roll for breakfast, play and have chinese for lunch. Some of her favorite things!

Jeremiah and Kesed crossed this bridge dozens of times. It was Kesed's favorite part of the park. Of course, Emsleigh would not walk on it once. I love the differences. 

Emsleigh's birthday is always this breath of fresh air in the midst of a difficult week. I praise God He has given me such a tender-hearted, loving daughter. On her birthday she received some money. When she opened it, she looked at the money and walked back to her room. When she came back I asked her what she did. We have a piggy bank that looks like a world. It is our missionary bank. We put money in there all year for missionaries and then give it at Christmas time. She said, "I put the money in the missionary bank, I know the missionaries need the money more than I do." What a precious girl to give her birthday money away without any hesitation.

Baby Boy Bradford Shower

My dear friends threw us the most amazing baby shower. Every part of the morning was thoughtfully detailed. The decor was amazing, the food was delicious and the fellowship was special. And thanks to my talented friend Jennifer at

all of it was beautifully captured on camera! 

Here is to celebrating the 6th member of the Bradford family!

I am so thankful for each of these ladies! I could not thank them enough for all they did to make the shower special. 

I am so blessed by each of these women!

Emsleigh had her own special seat with a big sister ballon.

My helpers :), so glad my mom was able to come and celebrate with us! 

We got a little excited about this sweet knitted baseball hat! 

To top off the shower, Reiner sent me a special gift. 

Not only Reiner, but my dearest Mimi, too.

Emsleigh was super excited about her new big sister ballerina bunny from Mimi.

Some great shots of good friends!
