Thanksgiving!

A very happy Thanksgiving as we gave thanks to ALL we are thankful for. We sure do have a lot! We celebrated the holiday with Uncle Steve, Auntie Buffy and our cousins from Nebraska. We enjoyed every minute of it. Once all the festivities were over, we decorated our Christmas tree with Mom and Dad. Here we are before placing the star on top of the tree.

We went to the park with cousins' Maris & Tiffany. It's our very first time to be in a swing. We did enjoy it for a bit, but it was pretty cold and windy so it's hard to smile.

Dinner time at the Zoo with Auntie Buffy and cousins Maris & Tiffany

Kian is helping Mom & Dad hang the outdoor Christmas lights...with cousin Maris...or are we organizing and reorganizing the clips??...either way- we are GREAT helpers!

Just us...hanging out, looking like big boys!!

Giving thanks for all we have!

We heard a rumor?????

We heard a rumor that Santa Claus may be coming to town here in a few weeks? Of course, we're on our best behavior so we can get on the nice list. Here we are practicing for the audition for Santa's elves. Pretty cute, aren't we?

The sounds of little squeals...

The sound of little squeals has never been such a welcomed sound in our house. It's been a long 2 weeks of really ill children which resulted in worry, long days and nights, multiple doctors appointments and even a trip to the ER for dehydration. But, we think this illness is finally leaving us and Kian is slowly returning to his normal hyper self. Mom even enjoyed seeing him steal a toy away from Ethan this morning. It meant her Kiki was back!!

The boys playing with each other- growling and squealing!

Thank the lord for our health back! Now we have to let Mom & Dad catch up on A LOT of missed sleep!

Here's a boring short video of them moving and making sounds for the grandparents!

11 months old!

Yes, we've hit 11months old already. We're all ready for the big O-N-E! We've been pretty ill the past 2 weeks and have been back and forth to the doctor's office multiple times. But, we're both now on antibiotics, probiotics and Mom & Dad's last nerve, but hopefully we're on the mend and will be back to healthy for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's kinda been fun...we've had "boys day" on several occasions because Dad has had to stay home with sick boys but we'd rather spend time with Daddy on better terms. Maybe next time he'll take us to the zoo??!!

Here's a Daddy day where he tried to do Ethan's hair!

Here's Kian acting cool for the camera in his high chair. Did we mention his 2 new favorite foods?? Whole grain toast and cheerios!

Ethan excited for his next meal!

Kian playing with the magnets on the fridge

We're praying to be back to healthy soon. No more fevers, runny noses, ear infections, tonsilitis or other stuff...until then...

Kian's 1st hairs cut

Mom attempted to give me my 1st haircut because people had been commenting on my poofy-hair. Yes, it's a good thing mommy is more into science than arts because my haircut takes some imagination when trying to see her style. But, she cut and styled with some gel all while I was shaking my head back and forth eating some yummy Cheerios. Of course, this picture was taken just before she took her first cut...

And Ethan looked on a laughed...just wait until she takes the scissors to your hair, brother!!

Getting some extra Vitamin D

Here we are enjoying the beautiful November weather. Mom took us outside and we played on the blanket in the grass. We had so much fun! More great weather to come...maybe another football game in our near future??

A very happy Halloween!

Halloween day we went to Mommy & Daddy's alma mater- TU - for their homecoming. We had a great time. We got to see a live band, a football game, and meet lots of new people. We were dressed from head to toe in TU gear. It was a beautiful day in the 70's so a great day to be out and about.

Ms. Lonnie (mommy's RN friend) gave us cute Halloween outfits which we sported the day before Halloween. A pumpkin and a ghost.

And finally, our Halloween costumes that we went trick-or-treating in. We had so much fun. Mom & Dad didn't allow us to collect any candy but they promised us we could next year!

Always rewarding to come home from work and be greeted by her beautiful boys. It can put a smile on any body's face to have this much love in their lives!

We can't believe it's already November...we're getting closer to the 1 year mark!
