the Education of Grandma

The last week in March, Grandma went to tend Remy & Tate, while Darrin & Mandy celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary and what an education it was with the boys! They wanted to go to McDonald's to eat. Remy told Grandma what to order, nuggets, hambuger, fries, apple slices, and chocolate milk. While I was ordering they knew where they wanted to sit and eat. It was by the fireplace, in two overstuffed chairs and a small table.(Grandma, pulled a chair up next to them) They were so excited to sit in the chairs next to the fireplace. Well we ate, then Remy took the trash away, "I'll get it Grandma", he says. Then came the education of the trash bin. It talks back to you! "Thanks for depositing your trash", it says. So every little piece of trash was thrown away. We were ready to go and Tate had to make his deposits into the talking trash bin. Then no trash and just the trash bin with a thank you, over rand over again between the two. Needless to say, a talking trash bin at McDonald's is always a hit!!! Grandma got an education!

The Best Feeling Ever!

The best feeling ever was when we saw Kyle bring our daughter into the Celestial room of the Salt Lake Temple! Knowing that the next week they would be sealed together, and knowing that your last child was now endowed for eternity, well, we just held each other and cried. We had a glimpse of what it might be like on the other side. Our lives have really been blessed this year! Thanks to all our family for your help at these great times!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!
Ma & Pa Bradshaw

SNOW!!! SNOW!!! SNOW!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Yes! Lots and lots of snow. We got some big storms, but it never got to melt in between.

This little electric snowblower was perfect for Grandpa and Grandma's roof! Notice the ice dam above the ice cycles!

Thursday, Feb 13, Utah County got a blast of
wind that wreaked havoc on traffic with drifts.
This is what we woke up to on Valentine's!
The snow is drifted beyond the roof-line!






Yes, lots of snow, but we are anxiously awaiting spring!

2nd Try

Well, here we are doing a new blog for our FHE.
Some newsy items are:

• Saturday night Ruth, being her graceful self, did a face-plant on the sidewalk at the Stake Center. She didn't look too "cool" when she came home with a bloody face, broken nose, scratched glasses (new), and a facefull of Kleenex. This photo shows her swelling and skinned nose.

• Angie has her old phone number back!

• Ruth's new school- Bruin Point Elementary- is open. Here are some appropriate photos

Brady had some baptisms the last week of September 2007.
His companion is next to him (on the left!), Elder Kaneko from the Marshall Islands. Elder Kaneko Kaneko taught Jamore (on far right) before his mission while on splits while living in the islands.











And just a cute picture of Cindy peering out around Kyle's feet!
OK, guess that is all. Tchau!
