For Bradley
(B.J) with all of our love
 When you
were conceived you were 
 Old Guest Book
 a suprise,I didn't 
even know I
was carring you. I went to Texas
 and you had to be
the youngest baby to ride 
a roller coster,and the
deamondrop. 
When I got back from vacation I was
 starting to
feel tired, I thought maybe I
 caught a flu bug in Texas.
But when I went to the
 doctor I got the best suprise I
could have 
dreamed of, the doctor told me I was 
expecting
you. We were so happy,
 and then we decided to move
 to
Flordia. As you grow you decided to
 take a large spert
all at one time. All 
of a sudden I looked like I had
 ate a
basket ball, but I didn't mind but
 further along I did when I couldn't sit down or get up or
 do anything really. You were quit a 
jokester even before you were born. On
 April 1st bout 5 am you desided to show you 
could joke and do an April fools 
day joke, you made me think you
were comeing into this
 world we got all the way to the
hospital(an hour away) and you went back to
 sleep.But
you did come into this world alittle
 over 2 weeks later.
While you were being
 born,you gave us a real scare.
But then
 you came into this world, and from that
 day
forward you have let us know you are
 here. You crawled by
the time you 
were 4 months old, and you were pulling
yourself
 up to a standing postion by the time you
 were 6
months old. You have been 
swimming since you were 3
months old and
 have never been afraid of water, you
use
 to be so funny at the beach, when
 we would goto
the beach, you would
 goto the edge of the waters but
when 
a wave would come in you would run away,the
longer
 we were there the braver you would get, until
finally you would go into the water.
 And ever today you keep
getting braver, when
 we went back to Flordia you kept
going deeper
 and deeper, I warned you that it was
 getting
to deep, but you didn't
 listen, until a wave got you and
turned 
you upside down. You didn't like that,so
 you
came back closer to shore.
 You have gotten so big in
the 11 years
 you have been on this earth, you 
now think
its funny because you get to
 goto the mens department
to get clothing, 
while daddy has to goto the boys
department
 to get his clothing. Not to mention
 the fact that
your feet are bigger 
then mine, and make sure that
everyone 
knows your foot is bigger then me. You
 are now so
independent that you don't
 want any help. You think
that you can
 do anything and everthing which really
scares
 me sometimes, but I know I have to let you grow
 up and
make your own choise's even
 if I think or know that
they are mistakes.
 Now as your mother the only thing I
can do 
is be there when you need me, and try to
 point
you in the right direction and
 hope that you don't do
anything that will
 hurt yourself. But knowing how we have
raised
 you. Eases that worry. You know right from
wrong and when you need help, so I am confident
that you are doing fine. Just always
 remeber we are here
for you when you
 need us. Even when we are not
right
 by your side you can always close your eyes
 and you
will see us. We love you and 
miss you very much, and we
are working
 on getting you home where you belong.
Love 
mom and dad!!!
