Just Kidding… More like the Bradley Dad’s : )

 

 

Seriously, how cute are these boys?! This was the best shot we got with just about every mom and dad working to get their attention.

 

Jack winning

 

These boys have sure come a long way.

11 months old

 

YAY! Someone is excited to be 11 months old and learning to clap!

Right now I am obsessed with his pj’s! He won’t be fitting into them much longer and just looks so darn cute that I seriously keep him in them as long as possible. Naturally I couldn’t decide which pair I liked best… Thus, this month we had three different photo shoots!

We aren’t exactly sure what he is weighing in at these days…

18ish lbs and 30ish inches…. maybe?

What has this little guy been up to this last month?

 

Well, when he is not sleeping in those cute pajamas

He cracks us up with all the “situations” he seems to get himself into!

He truly has a knack for finding tight spaces these days.

His favorite toys lately…

Other fun things he/we like to play : )

Where is it?

He is just SO talented ; )

 

Some other fun happenings this month involved his first visit to the Bremer county fair.

His first friend bday party… we really should have gotten a picture WITH the bday boy, Jack!

Now to end with a few of our newest favorite photos!

 

{Definitely missing this sight now that school has started back up. He is such a good nap-er and so happy to see us when he wakes up!}

One last trip to Wisconsin

 

 

Our last Wisconsin visit of the summer gave us one last beautiful summer night on the farm!

 

Henry and Lydia

Haley, Keilah and little Liam

And now for FIVE photos of Henry with his Godfather! Why so many of Uncle Bill holding the little guy… of that’s right, he wouldn’t let anyone else hold him!!!

The next morning Henry got lots of cousin love and plenty of time outside! Haley and Nolan didn’t want him to miss a thing : )

Nolan is getting better and better at holding Henry! He can even WALK with him : )

IMG_3444

Cousin Isaac was over to enjoy the day as well.

IMG_3443

 

Sorry to say Isaac but this one picture of me and my “hot seat” is the only documentation I have of our hours of card playing!

IMG_3422

 

Two more favorite farm spots of mine!

~ Our apple tree ~

IMG_3431

 

~ Momma’s marigolds and Da’s sweet corn ~

Now to the real reason for our midweek visit!

Grandpa Steve’s brothers and sisters were all in town for a little time together.

 

Aunt Jo and Uncle Mark were huge Henry fans and vice versa!

IMG_3437

 

Somehow I just knew Henry wouldn’t have a problem with Uncle Mark holding him : )

IMG_3486

 

Aunt Monica getting her squeezes in!

IMG_3451

 

Some much overdue time together.

Liam meeting the Aunts!

Getting ready for the siblings photo…

IMG_3462

 

No doubt, Uncle Mark giving a sweet compliment to sweet Aunt Ruth!

IMG_3463

 

IMG_3464

 

 

Keep in mind with this many people (siblings no less) it takes a while to get the perfect shot!

Especially when you have brothers that like to poke fun!

IMG_3467

IMG_3469

 

I really liked this one but it didn’t get full approval. I’m a total amateur at this picture taking gig and didn’t have perfect placement of all the subjects! 

IMG_3474

 

Not the greatest picture but I love this moment because my Dad and Aunt Marcia suddenly realize they have something in common. I can’t even remember what that exactly was… cold hands, poor circulation?… It was just so cute how the were both like “You have that too?!”

IMG_3475

 

One more placement with the boys as bookends!

IMG_3477

 

 

And of course we couldn’t stop without getting a youngest to oldest shot!

** Another image or two to come once I get some time in photoshop : )
