Happy Mothers Day!

This post is dedicated to my amazing mother. Mom, you are my best friend. You are always there when I need you, and always know when to call. I can't count the times you have dropped your busy life to be there for me. You have been there for me as I struggle with being a mom and I don't know what I would have done without you at the birth of Scotlyn and Ethan. You are an awesome Grandma, Scotlyn loves her Grandma and asks every day about you. We wish we lived closer so we could see you more often. I love you Mom!

What we've been up to

April 17th I ran the Salt Lake City Half Marathon with my sister and some friends. Everyone did great! It was so much fun to have so many people running the race. I was not as prepared as I would like to have been, but I am glad I did it. I love the adreniline rush and just being able to take off and run. I love the course, minus the big hill at mile 11, and the weather is perfect. I ran the full last year and hope to run the full next year.

Easter and Fair

In April there is always the Clark County Fair in Logandale. It has been a long time since I have gone. This year all the girls wanted to get together at the fair. Scotlyn loves animals so I figured I would bring the kids, she had a blast. It was great to see everyone again, it's been too long. Everyone looks great and are doing good. It was fun to catch up.





Easter morning always starts early for me. I was up at 3:45 in order to make it to the Easter Sunrise Program at Palm Mortuary. We have to be there at 5:30 to practice. The Program is a great way to start Easter Morning. It was nice to come home and enjoy General Conference. I always feel like the talks are exactly what I need to hear. After Conference we headed to Mark's Grandpa's house for dinner. We hid eggs in Grandpa greats backyard, Scotlyn loved it. We enjoyed dinner and games with Mark's family.
I am so thankful for my Savior and the sacrifice he made for me. I am thankful that my beautiful family can be together forever. I love Mark so much and my 2 sweet little kids. They are the best!

Ethan Daniel Bradley was born at 9:27 am on 2/10/10. He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Ethan's delivery was easier than Scotlyns , I was more prepared and knew what to expect. I was able to have another Natural delivery. I was induced Wednesday morning and thanks to my mom labor went smooth, my mom knew exactly what to say and was an excellent coach. When it came time to push Ethan's heartrate was dropping and the doctor siad that if I didn't get him out fast we would need to have a cesarean., my biggest fear. Thankfully I was able to push him out in time. The cord was wrapped around him twice, he came out blue and needed a little help crying. Thanks to a great doctor and awesome nurses Ethan is home and healthy. I am so thankful for wonderful support from Mark and my Mom. We love our cute little man.

New words

I love the age Scotlyn is at. She is starting to talk and I love when she says a new word. She loves words with P in them. Puppy, Grandpa, Hippo. Marks favorite is when she says "bye, see ya". My new favorite is when she Says " I love you" The video is not the best, but you can hear it good.

Christmas

This year for Christmas we stayed home. It was wierd not haveing tons of family around, but it was good. On Christmas Eve we went to the Strip and Walked around City Center. It was fun to see where Mark worked and all that he did. We had Enchiladas for dinner and then opened our traditional pajamas. Christmas day we opened presents then Caleb came over for breakfast. We then headed over to Marks Grandpa's and Had dinner with Marks Mom and family.
