Top Ten--September 2008

Top ten things said, done, or noticed at the B’s

Ahhhhh, September. The month of autumn colors spilling down the mountains, beautiful late summer weather, Labor and Patriot’s Day, our Primary Presentation, and BYU football. We can thank Kye and Isaac for most of our top ten this month. What can I say? They are at the funniest stages right now.

10—Kye and Isaac cannot overcome the brotherly magnetism they share. If only this were are pleasant thing, but it’s really not. They cannot be in the same room without gravitating toward each other to kick, hit, roll on, wrestle with or beat on each other. Kind of reminds me of the magnetic pull Kye’s head once had on every wall within a 5 foot radius of his body when he was 3. It makes for a lot of bruises.

9—Adam’s improved dive-bombing skills. Whenever he sees a blanket similar to his own, he slams his face into it. He’s getting better at judging the distance correctly—he hits the floor much less often these days, and the world is a happier place for the Bradshaws as a result.

8—Isaac’s strategy for surviving the big bad world of the dinner table: divide and conquer. Every particle of food must be broken into teeny, tiny pieces before he eats any of it. Dinner is a very, VERY long process at our house.

7—Kye’s new obsession with punching:
“What if someone punched you in the back of the head and your eyeballs popped out?”
“Dinner smells so good that I want to punch someone. Eeeeee-yah!”

6—Lucy literary masterpiece, created while playing with a friend one day:
“Animals rule everything (club).
Were animals and we like to rock.
Were out of this world animals.
Puppy’s are just so cute!
Kittins are just soo playful
Animals love to rock (and we do to)
Dolphins love to swim and so do we.”

5—Introspective questions raised by Isaac this month:
“Mom, when is Jesus’ pwan going to be done?”
“Mom, when I bweed, does Jesus bweed, too?”
“Mom, can I send Captain Mowoni an email for his birthday? And also a tweat?”

4—Little man Adam turned 1. I feel like I had a lot of soul growth this past year. He has brought so much to our lives.

3—Isaac=technogenius. He managed to lock the IPOD with a 4 digit code one day while AC/DC’s Back in Black was playing (ahem, Zach). When asked what number he pushed, he replied, “Ummm, I fink eight.” After trying 8888 and 8000, Zach started the laborious process of trying to find the right code, starting with 0001. Fortunately, he unlocked it at 0008. (BTW, if your 3 year old genius figures out how to lock your IPOD, just hook it up to your computer and ITUNES will unlock it for you. You’re welcome.)

2—Lucy’s “Ten Things I do Best” from school: monkey bars, gymnastics, swimming, playing, handling animals, riding my bike, remembering stuff, helping my mom, being nice to my brothers, and jump rope.

1—M: Tell me 3 things you want to be for Halloween (Just giving myself options, you know.)
K: Hot Wheels car, a TMNT, or a ninja.
I: Captain Moroni, a minja, or Jesus.
M: Isaac, even though we try to be like Jesus, we don’t dress up like Him for Halloween. (Ensuing talk on reverence, etc.)
I (after a thoughtful pause): Kye, guess what my last costume will be? YOU!! I will be a K-Y-E for Halloween.

I love it all! Especially Isaac's desire to send Captain Moroni a treat for his birthday....if only we knew his birthdate.
