Hello Friends!!!
Today I am 7! We’ve spent the last couple weeks celebrating. While we’re taking things day by day around here, we have been having fun with a full house. The whole family is here and I’ve continued to work hard on my artwork. My Aunt Kat and I are making a movie right now based on a book I wrote called “The 3 Spies”. Stay tuned, we might do a screening.
We had an awesome family party on Sunday, some cool animals came to the house, including a hedgehog, chinchilla and some guinea pigs. My friends at school had a party for me today too … We had pizza and cake and I got in a little trouble shooting cake at my favorite teachers – I’m a pretty good shot with a plastic spoon!
Today was a good day … Love you guys.

Think John Bradley 
A late happy birthday John! I’m glad it was a good one. I loved the pictures – particularly the one of you holding Irene!
I’m in Washington D.C. this week and it’s snowing! Someone didn’t get the spring message.
Andrew and Kat sent me a picture of something that’s almost finished, but I think it might be a surprise, so I won’t say anything more except that you did an awesome job! I can’t wait to get the print and cards I ordered from your art sale. I was so disappointed not to be there!
lots of love,
Andrew’s mom Anne
Happy Birthday from the Philpots! We think about you every day.

Love Jack Jack, Taryn, Jess and John

A pretty good shot with a plastic spoon?! According to Kyle, your cake and ice cream shooting skills are sort of legendary. “One time, he hit his Dad right on his bum with some ice cream! It was sooooo awesome!” Happy, happy birthday buddy. Thanks for a FUN party at school today! xoxo

Happy Birthday John!!! Thanks for sharing some of your pictures from your weekend! I was pretty jealous when I saw you holding a chinchilla and a hedgehog! Aren’t they soooo cute?? I thought it was weird when I learned that chinchillas need to “bathe” in a powdery substance! Animals are funny! I loved your pirate cake! Clara did a great job helping! Glad to hear you had a great birthday!!! We’re always thinking of you over here! Happy Birthday! xoxo
Well, it certainly sounds as if you had a warm birthday with your wonderful family. We think of you and your family every day, John . Thank you so sharing your photos with all of us.
I just received your art and note cards in the mail today! I did misplace the email regarding it, so will be in touch with someone tomorrow. I LOVE the note cards, and the pic I chose was the yellow sun and animals. Just looking at it makes me happy 😄
Happy birthday, John! It sure looks like you’ve been having fun! You know, 7 is a big milestone, and I just know you’re going to love being seven — 7 is a wonderful age to be. 🙂
And you keep up on your art now…I am so impressed with how good you are at it, and I just love so many of your pieces! You can go far with art, li’l buddy. And good luck with the movie; I can hardly wait to see it. 🙂
Much love,
David

I’m so happy to hear you had a great birthday!! But your Mommy didn’t steal the little hedgehog did she?! 😉 It sorta makes me wonder who that party was for! Ha!

Happy belated Birthday, John. Loved seeing all the pictures!
Love, Shirley, Nicole and Lochlan!!
I love you too, John.❤️
Dear John, I met you a couple years ago at a Christmas Eve party at your Aunt Becky and Uncle Pete’s house. I thought you were an amazing kid then, when you spent hours working on a sticker number picture. You explained to me how you knew where to put each tiny colored sticker to create a piece of art. Now you are creating your own original art work. I chose the tin man with a heart to frame and hang in my kitchen because the colors go so well on the yellow walls and because I think having a big heart is so important.. Thank you so much for sharing your works of art. I will send the note cards to my most special friends!
Hugs, from your Uncle Pete’s Mom.
P.S. You are now the most awesome 7 year old that I know!!!!!!
Happy Birthday John! It looks like a really fun party!
Love from the Bourgeois family xoxo
Happy Birthday, John, though I’m a little late! My daughter Sophie and I are sending you a birthday card. I’m very glad you had such a wonderful birthday; congratulations on 7 times around the Sun!!!
Much love,
