This weekend was full of more family time before Isabel and I leave on a jetplane Tuesday morning for a little vaca to the southland! It all started with garage sales Saturday morning till Isabel couldn’t handle it anymore! She will be a pro one day

That afternoon, I was honored to do my first ever photo session (but praying not my last)! My sis-in-law and bro-in-law are expecting their first in just a few weeks and asked me to take some special pictures of that beautiful bump… and of them too!

Here is just a preview of one of the many favorites

I will share the rest later on this week!

Today, we went to my in-laws church to hear my father-in-law preach a passionate and loving sermon about fatherhood. So proud to have him as my father-in-law! We made it back to go to Cornerstone as well and the Little Miss did great with the busyness of this morning!

I am so thankful for my Little Miss who goes with the flow 95% of the time and with a smile and a ‘hi’ along the way!

Texas and Louisiana here we come…. after laundry, packing and some special daddy cuddles!

Enjoy your Sunday!

In Him,
Emma

In all my years, I never thought I would see my dad walking with a toy purse in hand! O, the things we will do for that Little Miss!

Love.

{A Night at Ledges}

Posted on May 15, 2013 by emmabbradley

Like I mentioned yesterday, my parents came to stay with us for about a week to be here for Isabel’s Baby Dedication. When I say stay here, I mean in the area. Wherever they go lately, so does their Winnebago RV! Let me say this, you can see it coming a mile away!

With that being said, my parents couldn’t park the RV at our house or in our driveway. So, they took it out to Ledges State Park about 15 minutes away! It is a nice little park and pretty unoccupied at the moment…. since there was snow the week before last, I wouldn’t think many peeps are camping. We made our way out there to spend some time at the State Park which I have never been to as well as grill out!

Of course, we ended the night with the summer first S’mores…. mmmmmm!!!

In Him,
Emma

Hello. We are still here. I didn’t have extra time last week between by parents visit and a crazy busy weekend full of garage sales, baby shower, Baby Dedication and Mother’s Day lunch! Phew. It makes me more tired just typing it out!

It was a great! and the time off even from sitting here and typing, editing pics, and posting was needed! Sorry, to you all! There will be many posts coming this week with all the pics from this past week! So, then you may get an overload. I hope you enjoy!

And just to tide you over, here is our Litt Miss playing after Baby Dedication this past Sunday:

The outdoors will be our best friend this summer!

Happy Tuesday!

No post on the weekend means it was a crazy busy weekend here at the Bradley house! Friday was the most laid back. Then, Saturday morning brought a ton of garage sales in a little town north of here and we did good!

Check out our loot:

We got everything from clothes and shoes to weights and a power washer! And all for around $40! That’s right, we scored big!

These two items brand new would be $35 together! We paid $1.50 and they were maybe used once… Maybe!

O how we love deals!

Sunday brought church, and a birthday party that involved swimming, homemade pizza and lots of cupcakes… Don’t worry they were mini

How about some hellos for this week!

Hello to a clean house!

Hello to a baby shower for my sister-in- law this Saturday!

Hello to some warm/ hot weather!

Hello to lots of expected outside time!

Hello to baby dedication this coming Sunday!

And a special Hello to the arrival of my parents! We are so excited they are here for a visit!!

Which is also why my house is clean

Enjoy!
In Him,
Emma

Pictures from this week! It’s been a crazy weather week up here and we have been enjoying the outdoors and indoors!

$1 rain boots…. Yes please!

Love these flowers on our walk!

Out little helper!

Best 50 cents we have spent this far at a garage sale for that shopping cart she takes everywhere!

Love.

Moved pavers and black weed sheet barriers with my little helper!

Morning Art…. She made sure it color on every single inch of the notepad!

O Iowa, will I ever understand your weather?? Snow in May

She loves avocado! And needs a bath and new outfit after eating an entire one!

Watching ‘Tangled’ for the first time! It’s a winner!

Bring it on weekend full of garage sales, melting snow, and a date night for the mister and me! Yay!
Enjoy!
In Him,
Emma

{Kisses}

Posted on May 1, 2013 by emmabbradley

Isabel loves to give kisses (especially when she does something naughty and is making up for her wrongdoing)! We love getting sweet little kisses from the Little Miss as well! Now that she doesn’t use her whole tongue when she kisses, they are a little more enjoyable!

Here is Isabel giving her Teyze some kisses!

Kisses for Teyze

Lots of love my Little Miss gives!

In Him,
Emma

The warm weather has come to stay for a bit! It’s been in the 70s at the hottest the past couple days and it is glorious!

This wonderful weather helped the garage sale be a HUGE success for all the families involved and made sitting outside most of Friday and Saturday more enjoyable! Love.

Isabel LOVES the warm weather and loves exploring outside! She is always getting her shoes asking to go outside at any chance possible!
