So the summer has ended and it only my second blog post !!! I have a lot of catching up to do!
I feel like it rained a lot this summer, so Blake did crafts. He loves to paint, color and put stickers everywhere!! I hope Max loves to do these things as well in a few months!




























Beach, WOO HOO!!! Was what I heard for a week leading up to our vacation. Blake was so excited about going to the ocean! I believe I heard, “I wanna go beach” or “I wanna go on a cart ride” several dozen times a day!!! We have been home for a few days and Blake is still asking for the beach and golf cart!!! On our first day there Carly and Jay brought over their beautiful girls!! Olivia and Preston were all about the the girls, but who wouldn’t be! We had such a good time and look forwad to the next trip!!











Here are a few more shots at the beach!
I can not believe how fast these months pass me by! My boys are changing every day and it breaks my heart to watch them grow before my eyes, I would love to freeze them right now! Blake is speaking so much and his vocabulary is growing by the second! He amazes me on how much he retains and understands. Max is rolling, scooting, sitting and up and all fours moving all over the place! He wants to be where Blake is at and now he can get there before Blake does! He is becoming more vocal and over the past few days he will get upset if he drops something he was playing with. I did not think my “chill” baby could have such attitude!
Here are a few photos of the boys at play!




J and I took the kiddos to the Zoo for some shots in the Tulips, we really struggled to get one of all 5, but some of the individual turned out great!




For Easter we covered the backyards in eggs for the kids. Blake, Livie, Preston and Starlynn really enjoyed the easter egg hunt! I am still finding eggs in the backyard!!!



Pickle just chilled in the Jeep…hunting eggs was not his thing!

Blake loved coloring his Easter Eggs! Watching the water change colors and dropping the eggs down into the die could not have been more fun. I enjoyed watching his face and the true excitment that this brought him. He was such and big guy and really did a great job, meaning NO MESS!!! Max, aka the Golden Child, sat in his highchair and watch the entire time! I was truly surprised by how relaxed and easy this whole process was!





I have been a bad blogger……I feel like I missed an entire month! We have been very busy and have been having so much fun! Mom and Dad took ALL of us (minus Max) to the Circus! (click on link for more pictures) The boys did GREAT! Ringling Brother’s had it all planned out and most of the time the boys were really interested. I think the adults had a better time than the kids!


A good friend of mine has a very talented Mother! I can not believe the adorable outfits, diaper bags, totes…the list goes on and on that she can put together. This past summer she made me a “ZOO” carrier, it is made from a lime green giraffe print fabric. I had this “little” bump, AKA Max, all summer and was unable to carry Blake on our MANY trips to the zoo. So I broke it in at the Festival of Lights this year. The first of many trips this beautiful carrier will make through a zoo!
This was one of the warmer nights this past winter and there were so many people out, it made it so easy to navigate through the crowd and Shakers was able to see everything! I even talked my brother, Ryan, into carrying Preston.
Thank You Mrs. Chalk!!!!!


The Perez family came in town this New Years and Brad and I were so excited when Lissa and the kids came over for a visit. ** A little background** I started watching Luke when he was a few months old, he was the ring bearer in our wedding, and Lukey and his family have been like family to me over the past 9 years** I wish that they never left Cincy, but I am grateful that we are still in contact!


I know I am a little late with the Holiday Greetings, but I have 2 young kiddos! The end of 2008 has been wonderful in the Woolridge house. We welcomed a new baby, ate way to much at Thanksgiving…and Christmas, visited several train AKA choo-choos exhibits, and spent time with our family and friends.
Even though the past few weeks have been a lot of work, Brad and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Blake has a new obsession with trains and Max is growing like a weed. We are so very excited to see what 2009 will bring us.
Maddox “Max” Bradley is here!!! He was 8 lbs and 3 ozs, 21 inches long and as cute as they come! We are adjusting to having two babies so I will soon be able to call everyone back or return an email! It is not as “exhausting” as I thought it would be, it is just busy! I LOVE being a mommy of these two wonderful boys!!!
Also, here is one of my little tiger from Halloween…..
