Happy 4th!!!!

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday!! I just love everything about it! I love being with family, eating outside on the grass, wakeboarding, skiing, and tubeing, horse-back riding, fireworks and playing in the sun! This year we were able to do all these things! Rachelle, Melissa and their families came up which was so much fun! Danielle and Parker went on a 50 mile hike and they got back Saturday night!
Here are some highlights of the week!


So here's Parker and Dani on their hike


While we are back at home.... giving the pigs shots!!


Meg and Sydney made a delicious 4th of July dessert!!


Dad grilling burgers!! Yes I did eat one juicy red meat burger after 3 years of no red meat!

I dont have any pictures of our illegal fireworks (yes they are illegal in our county because of fire hazard) but we sure had fun with fireworks this year! We lit off sparklers and these ones that you light and then throw! So I got 4 fireworks and tied them together... had dad light them all at once and then i threw them in the air! Well they weren't all tied together very well because one flew off and landed on my shirt burning a hole through it! yesss.... i love holes in my shirt from fireworks.


Boating!


So me, meg and Bailey all kneeboarded and we tried to get us all on the same board! Here is Bailey jumping onto the back of mine.. but when meg tried to get on the front we totally nose dived!


Damian wanted a try at the kneeboard!


water skiing


So dad says, "Bailey I will give you $100 bucks if you catch one of those baby ducks in the water..." Well Bailey jumped right in the water and caught one! I did contribute to this catch because I was luring the ducks in by throwing some pieces of a banana that I was eating to them!


A little biking adventure!


SLIP AND SLIDE!!! okay so our family had way too much fun with this thing!















Little baby Leatham!










Outside dinners are the best!

A little FUN SHMUN!!

June has been such a fun month!!! The pictures are in the wrong order but I have had so much fun with family and friends! Danielle came to visit us and we were able to go hiking and boating with her! And then we went over to Everett to celebrate Melissa's baby, Leatham's, blessing! He is adorable and getting so big! He is smiling and laughing and such a good baby! And then one of my High School BFF's, Addie, got MARRIed!!! It was so much fun to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! She was beautiful and I am so happy for her!

Bradshaw happenings...

So i just couldn't do a post without a picture to go with it... so here ya go!! these pants used to be my mothers!! wowsers... i could barely fit into them and she said she wore these after she had me.. the fifth child!!! skinny minny!

so anyway.. just an update here in good ol Winthrop... well right now we are all sitting in the living room with the lights off looking across the river on the West Chewuch because there is a fire. Mom called 911 and now we are watching the firetrucks drive to it. In the meantime Dad saw a coyote so he and Parker ran upstairs and he shot it from the bedroom window! He and Parks are now on their way to find it in the field. What an exciting night at the Bradshaws! :)

sooo I got a job at Sun Mountain! Megan and I are waitressing the morning shift. We have to be there at 6:30 a.m. which means leaving here at 6:00 a.m.! Kinda early, but we get done around 1:00 p.m. everday so thats nice! Other than that I have just been working on my tan while weeding our ginormous yard! It never ends! But life is good! Rachelles kids have been staying with us for a week and they are so much fun! I have had a blast with them and they are too cute! They keep me entertained by the things they say.. like yesterday Syd asked me how much dog food she had to eat to turn into a dog! Or we will be watching a movie and.. I kid you not... syd will ask a question about EVERY thing.. everytime they talk or the camera changes or the people move! haha she is cute!

Dani and I registered for the NYC but it is a lottery and we didn't get in.. darn it! So maybe we will do the Top of Utah in the fall! I am getting excited for hoopfest too! Rachelle, Melissa, Megan and I are all on a team.. "Don't Dis on my SIS" is our name!! yess cant wait girls!
