thought I was in a Dream

So this is how it all started. The Chic-fil-a at The District is the BOMB. They totally rock, the manager there is so creative and does the best things to bring business in to his restaurant. There were advertising a Daddy-Daughter Luau. Scott signed up to take Whitney. So that day Whitney went to work with me and he calls and asked her if she wanted to go on a date with him tonight she thought it was so awesome.  She wondered all day what they were going to do. Anyways when they got home this is what she said. Mom I got to ride in a Limo and dad took pictures cause I knew no one would believe me. It was so fun Mom and we both got Leas, and I made us bracelets and I got this real flower and we had dinner and Ice cream. It was so awesome Mom, I almost "thought I was in a Dream." They had questions there that I could ask Dad, but I knew them already I got them all right. Thanks Dad!! I know I will  remember this for along time. So SWEET I just Love her.

Fathers Day 2010!

Happy Father's Day Scott! Well we have had a great day together. Started by going to church then we watched a movie "When in Rome" it was cute. Then Scott took a nap and we headed to Aprils for Dinner. It was wonderful food and we played croquet and loved the beautiful weather. We all missed Whitney of course she is in Beaver this week. To sum up the last two hours, Scott has been showing the Boys card tricks. The kids gave Scott some home made cards and some candy and drinks that he likes. So over all I think it was a good day.
So why I Love you so? Several million reasons.. Most of them aren't huge things, but all the little things you do. Huge like you PROVIDE for are family. You have a testimony of Jesus Christ. The Best DAD to our FOUR children. Hardworker. Your family comes FIRST. Your my Best friend. UNSELFISH, You teach by EXAMPLE. Little things like when you fix dinner. You always make us LAUGH. There isn't anything you can't FIX. You never GIVE up. You never complain about how many fish we all catch. Helping with the Kids Homework, You can take a JOKE! You spend so much time with us and I am so grateful for the Father you are. There is never a dull moment when you are around. Thank you Hun! You Make our home a place of laughter and FUN.

I am also very blessed to have a great DAD. He has taught me so much, from very early in life. I knew he was the Worlds Greatest Dad! I also knew I needed to marry someone like him. He always put his childrens needs before his own. He taught us all how to work hard, and to be responsible. He also showed me how to find joy and peace in my life and that is thru obeying the commandments, and serving the LORD. I am so grateful for his example and the way he lives his life. I love you Dad.

I also married into a great family of Fathers. Scott's Dad is an amazing father. He has always treated me with respect and kindness. He has showed me LOVE in many ways. Scott has some big shoes to fill. He is a hard worker and would do anything for his family.  He and Scott love to spend time together. I appreciate him very much for teaching and raising Scott the way he did. Scott also has great memories of working with his GRANDPA Cox. He loved him very much. I know by the example of these great men, my own two boys will be great fathers someday.

Another project DONE...:)

                 
Yeah another thing to cross off my LIST!!  So I got this old window about 6 months ago. I have been saving it for Payton's room. And YES she is still in her own room! It has been about a month. HOORAY for goodnight sleeps, they are feeling really good!!

YW stuff, Monthly Card Exchange, etc.

I am in the YW in my ward, I teach the Beehives they are 12 and 13. They are a bunch of the sweetest and loudest girls I know. But they do particate in all our activities and I enjoy getting to know them.
Our Relief Society this year has started a Card Exchange it is monthly, and there are 12 woman who come. You make 13 of the same cards and then when you meet you exchange them and you come home with 12 different cards and of course you make1extra so you can keep one of your own.  It is fun and I love doing it!! It makes me SMILE:)

Busy Time of Year..

We have had a busy couple of weeks. Whitney had a Piano Recital she played two songs. She did a very good job and we are very proud of her. I hope she will continue to work and practice.  She does get the summer off. Also, she had her Dance review. They performed two numbers, both to Miley Cyrus songs. She is a very good dancer and loves to make up her own steps. But probably loved putting on the make-up and costume the most!!

It also was the Dedications to the new Elementary School Silver Crest. Gavin got picked by this teacher to be an Usher He was excited. We also found out that next year we will be having a Traditional School schedule instead of Year round. This means they will get the Summer off and will not be going back until Aug. 23rd! Both boys went to Lake Powell with Scott. Gavin was totally excited when Scott asked him if he wanted to go. Cuz usually the rule is you need to be 12. I was worried about the weather but they said it turned out GREAT. They caught alot of BIG fish. They all three said they had a very wonderful time together. I was glad for the fish fry we had when they got home.

Well, Tristin did a great job speaking on Mother's day in church. I was very pleased with his talk and he did a very good job. I hope I never forget how appreciative he is for me. He is a very good boy and helps me so much. I am thankful for the example he is to his younger brother and sisters. I did have a Wonderful Mother's Day, I am so grateful to be there Mommy. They teach me so much, at times it is so demanding and crazy but really I wouldn't change it for anything.  

Payton is so busy, she is trying to talk like crazy! I am pleased to say she is in her own room now... Yeah it about time! Agian Scott to the rescue he finished her room and it looks awesome. She is also eating by herself and climbing everywhere, loves outside and going for walks in the stroller. Loves to mimic her siblings and when they laugh at her she does it over and over agian!

Next to the Angels

Well, now that it is Mothers Day tomorrow and Tristin has to speak in Sacrament, he has been writing his talk and asking me questions about my own Mother. It has gotten me thinking so I need to write my thoughts down.
Deep Breath----Sigh Where do I begin? What have I learned from my Mom? ALOT
As far back has I can remember my Mom has been teaching stuff. Like, cooking, cleaning, talking, how to hard work, never give up, Trust in the Lord, Pray Always, How to listen, and really just to BE THERE. I guess she was teaching me how to be a MOM, a WIFE, a FRIEND. I am the person I am today because of the roots she planted long ago. I am sure it wasn't an easy task either.  But I am truley GRATEFUL for her. She is an example to all who meet her. She has a STRONG testimony of Jesus Christ. She is also to Thank for the WONDERFUL Brothers and Sisters I have. We are always there for one another and will be together FOREVER. I love you MOM and Happy Mothers Day!!

I also have been BLESSED with a GREAT 2nd Mom, Allyson and Wonderful Sisters! They are such a Blessing to me and my Family. Scott is a GREAT Husband and Father because of the example of his parents. They taught him how to be a Hard worker, set your GOALS high, Became anything you want, unconditional LOVE, and how to SERVE others just to name a few. They also showed him how important FAMILY time is and how to teach by example. You might of thought he wasn't listening......well it was because he was to busy watching.  I thank YOU for raising him the way you did. I love you and Happy Mothers Day!

Quote from the First Presidency in April Confernce 1999 is "Motherhood, is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service NEXT TO THE ANGELS."

Making Memories one Moment at a Time

My time is just flying by... This month we starting out with a great weekend in Beaver and Oak City for EASTER and also getting inspiration and insight listening to General Conference. It was awesome to see our family and spend time with them. The kids had a great time playing with there cousins. The day at Oak City was cold and windy but that doesn't affect the BRADSHAW'S. Playing in the sand, riding 4 wheelers, finding eggs, it was a good day.

Gavin spend a week with Spencer in California and Las Vegas while he was off track. His favorite thing was the Beach, and Las Vegas also riding the Desporato Roller Coaster in Primm NV. I am glad he was able to go with them, but was even happier when he got home. Boy was he missed!! Plus it just happens to be the beginning of the NBA finals and he is the # FAN, he doesn't want to miss a thing when it comes to Basketball!!


Since the weather has been good and the kids have been off track we have enjoyed going swimming and Mcdonalds with April and her kids. Payton and Mya loved it. We went to the Park with Marisa and her kids, there are getting so big and enjoy playing with each other. We are so glad we still keep in touch with them. I took Whitney to Wheeler farm to see the animals and to take a walk. I loved spending that time together and the kids said they love familty time the BEST.  Scott has been busy painting and doing Whitney's new room, which she thinks is Paytons. It is a suprise. I am so excited and pleased with it and so grateful to Scott for doing it. What a great DAD he is! Also very talented, way to go honey she is going to so so HAPPY. Our anniversay today it has been 16 years. Which seems really hard to believe. I am so blessed to have him has my husband and Love him very much.
