Bradley's big day came and went!! What an exciting day! I can't believe he's 12! I've got to stop blinking, seriously! I am SO excited for him to get the Priesthood! This is just too cool. I think he's excited too. Maybe a little nervous about how to pass the sacrament :), but he's ready! Young Mens will be really fun with his Dad there too. Cool stuff! So birthday morning was pretty normal. His sign (that I wrote, "Happy 12th Birthday, Birthday") was hanging up. Don't worry I fixed it later on. He got the chocolate chip muffins he wanted for breakfast and then headed off to school with his Dad for his big field trip! I worked on his cake all morning. It was actually a pretty easy one- only took a couple hours which was nice and even nicer that Molly slept through the WHOLE THING! WOW!! I had Will and Jack's help with determining what things were and how they tasted. They were hilarious. Then we took Bradley's birthday treat to his class and came home to get things ready for his "party". He had chosen to go to the Dart Side so we all went up there and played for an hour and a half (I think they miscounted or something because we started at 4:10ish, but were still going at 5:40.) I kept Molly company while everyone played. Nate and I were going to trade places halfway through, but he just looked like he was having too much fun to make him stop and come wrestle Molly. So I let him play :). But I totally missed out! It looked like a lot of fun! It was fun to see how good Erika was :). Bradley got to have one of the special guns and he rocked that thing! He had a great time! I was glad. After that we went over to Chik-fil-a and had some dinner, Brad's choice.
We came home and Grandpa Hatch and Dawn and then Grandma Hatch and Simon came over to help us celebrate! It was a nice relaxing evening. Bradley was really polite and grateful for all the gifts and sat and visited with everyone. I was proud of him. He even politely reminded me what time it was (about 10 times :) ), "It's 8 o'clock, Mom!" Like I was supposed to care or something :). Haha. I had been doing the 12 hours of his birthday for him- giving him a little gift each hour for 12 hours on his day. He was anxious for the next gift :). Made me laugh. I'm glad he liked it. He got a new fishing pole and lures and a date with me as his really big gifts. I think he had a good day. I just love that kid. He's one of my favorite people. He has always been so sweet to me and such a good friend to his family. I love who he is in this world and the influence I think he has. He really is going to do big things. I can't wait to see what. 10-7-16

Aren't 12 year olds supposed to be awkward? Brad is such an awesome kid and he just seems so confident in his own skin, not awkward at all. Happy Birthday Brad!
