Happy Birthday Uncle Bradley!

Today is Uncle Bradley's birthday. Uncle Bradley is Bryan's youngest brother who is so stinking cute it's sick. You may notice he's not in any of these pictures. Well, that's because he's on a mission in Calgary, Canada. He gets home in 23 days. It's actually more like 22 and a half because he gets home at noon on the 25th. We're so excited for him to come home and meet Addilyn. Carter was Addi's age exactly when B-Rad left so it's quite a change. One I think he's not quite as ready for as he thinks.
So, today we went to Grammie's house and yelled, "Surprise!" when she answered the door. She knew we were coming but Carter wanted to "surprise" her. She was so sweet to let us bonbard her day. She even fed us lunch. Addilyn had her entire sandwhich gone before Carter had finished 1/3 of his.
Before we went to Grammie's we went to the store and got the cupcakes that Carter picked out. (I wouldn't get that nasty icing!) After the cupcakes we went to the baking isle to get some candles. Even though I told him that Uncle Bradley is turning 21 and NOT 3, he still insisted on getting the 3 for the candle... oh well. Whatever makes him happy, right?

Grammie helped Addi blow out her candle. She just wanted to touch the flame.
Carter had to get ALL the icing off the 3. Then he took a big bite of it. It was great! He quickly spit it out realizing that it doesn't taste quite as good as the cupcake.
This is how she eats sweets. Again, hers was gone before Carter even had the icing licked off his. (In her defense though, I took the icing off hers before I gave it to her.)


Happy Birthday, Bradley!! We seriously can't wait for you to come home and play with us again. It's not the same without all the banging on he table and coming from downstairs!!

**Worth noting: Bradley is very good looking (runs in the family!) and single. So, as soon as he's home and no longer weird from being on a mission, we will be taking applications. Who knows any cute girls worthy of a great guy? Lets get a line going!!**

LOL Jen! I pulled up your blog and Brooklyn goes, "HEY! I know that guy, I played at his house and he is my cousin!" Not quite, but we can definitely arrange a marriage in about 20 years! I'd for sure take Carter as a son-in-law!
