I forgot to mention that Jack already has the Baseball Player persona down. At his first game I watched him scuff the dirt with his shoe and spit into the dirt at least twice! It was hilarious! I asked him where he learned that and he said, "I didn't learn it Mommy. That's just what I do!" Very cute!!
On deck and warming up with Coach Daddy
He already looks like a pro!
His first score!!
Pep talk with Coach Cret after the game...which we won by the way :)

The Season Has Officially Started
We have had a couple of fun weeks. Jack and I were both off for Spring Break so I had a full week of me and all 4 kids at home with an open schedule. Luckily the weather was fantastic and we spent all days outside. We would usually eat lunch and then go out for a walk with the girls in the stroller and Jack and Molly in the Escalade (yeah they got A LOT of exercise didn't they ;) ) We stayed out most days well into the evenings with the neighbors and their kids. Molly had developed quite a crush on our neighbor Mr. Don and he let her drive his golf cart which she thought was GREAT!!
The next week after two rain-outs Jack had his first t-ball game! He got his uniform and looked sooooo cute. He had 2 great hits and got on base and scored each time. He loved it and it was so much fun to watch. John did a great job as assistant coach!! I missed the Saturday game because I came down with a fun case of strep throat which is absolutely awful as a grown-up! Swimming lessons start soon and warm weather fun!
Ready for a ride!!

The Clouds Have Parted
After about 2 weeks of nonstop rain and/or cold temperatures, we had a beautiful day yesterday. We were able to all go outside and enjoy the afternoon. Jack ran wild and rode his scooter or drove his Escalade while Molly pranced around in her princess skirt and high heels coloring with sidewalk chalk. Usually I plant the girls in the stroller with a snack but yesterday they were not very content with that. So, I got a blanket and plopped them down thinking they wouldn't really like the feel of the grass and stay on the blanket. Sophie was having none of that and I ended up chasing her all over the yard. They had a great time and it was a beautiful day of play!
Other Bradford tidbits: Sophie is pulling up again after a brief delay, Sophie has cut both top teeth now (she is caught up with Macy and now I really will get them mixed up), Macy is clapping her hands, Macy is waving AND saying "bye-bye," Molly's latest sayings are "Oh my gosh!" and "Okaaay?" (in a very sweet valley girl tone), and Jack has been obsessed with wearing his apron like Daddy and helping Daddy make fried fish, grits, and sweet tea for dinner. Every night when asked what he wants for dinner this is what he requests. He is our sweet southern boy!! Oh yeah...the biggest news...Sophie and Macy are officially OFF the bottle! I never have to wash bottles again!! I am not sad about this ;)!!!!!
Sophie is on the move!
I promise that they do really wear entire outfits sometimes :)
This was actually taken several weeks ago but I forgot to post it and it is SO sweet. They really do like each other in secret. Jack has actually taken to sleeping with Molly because he says he has bad dreams in his room. He says that he will sleep in his bed again when he is in the 5th grade ;) He has specific ages for everything he is going to do. Apparently though he is going to stop growing at age 11 because he said the he does not want to be 12. He says that at age 12 "my boice will change and I don't want my boice to change!" Where do they learn this stuff so early!?!?!?!?

1st Haircuts!!
Today I took all 4 kids to see Ms. Jessie to get haircuts. For the girls it was their first cut. I decided it was time to cut off the rat tails and mullets and get them cute little bobs. They both did really well and even got pretty little ribbons in their hair. Jack and Molly always do great and ate as many lollipops as they could!!
Sophie says "You're gonna do what?"
Macy was happy as long as she had some food in her hand!
Aren't they cute!!!!!

Weekend Fun
This weekend was another fun one! Our great friends from Memphis, "Uncle" Brian and "Auntie" Lynn came to see us for the weekend with Baby Jack. It's always fun to see them. Lynn and Jack also joined Jack, Molly, and me at Jack's little girlfriend Merritt's birthday party. It was a "Fancy Nancy" themed party and Jack was the only boy invited. Needless to say he had to dress fancy as well as Molly. Molly decided that there was nothing fancier than Snow White so that is how she dressed. Jack wore his seersucker pants, Topsiders, and his "kite" like Daddy's (AKA a tie:) ) They has a great time and it is hard for me to believe that our babies are 5 already. Jack and Merritt were friends before they were born a week apart, and have been buddies ever since. It was a fun weekend and now Jack is off again this week for Spring Break. I'll be trying to think of was to keep him occupied!! Have a great week!!

Jack and Molly have started turning the girls around while they're eating and they all sit and look at the ducks in the lake.
