Videos

These videos are pretty self-explanatory. The first one we are jumping around like monkeys on a new toy Mom's friend so graciously sent for our birthday. She definetly wasn't thinking about Mommy's piece of mind when she sent it!!

This is our 1st annual Christmas program at our daycare. Notice who's in the front and who is standing in the back ready to start crying!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, KIAN & ETHAN!

It's true!! Two wonderful years ago, Mommy and Daddy welcomed us into the world. Scared to death, not knowing what their premature little 2lb boys would look like and the quality of life they would live. Amazing growth, amazing boys. 2 of the BEST years of their lives. You would never imagine what we really looked like 2 years ago!
Here we are eating our Elmo cookies for our birthday lunch
After visiting Santa, we stopped with our cousin's, Maris and Tiffany, to play at an indoor play land and run off some steam!
Pics from our birthday party where we celebrated with our friends! Thanks everybody for coming!!




Amazing life, amazing boys! Thank God for another blessed year!

We had an extraordinary holiday weekend with family and friends. We learned a lot about four 2year olds under the same roof for 4 days straight. A lot of fun, a lot of 'time-outs', a lot of 'NOs', some crying, lots of laughing, and A LOT of play time. So much fun...can we do it again next weekend???


Sharing our latest and greatest toy with our cousins. It was so unseasonable cold on Thanksgiving we had to bundle up and were only allowed to be out for 15-20 minutes max. Mommy and Daddy got cold before we were so we had to go inside...wimps???
A much needed bubble bath after a hard day of play!

Winding down with Uncle Steve watching some Einstein videos. Bed time is arriving soon....

Reading time with Uncle Steve


A much warmer day allowed Mom and Dad to get Christmas lights up on the house. Of course, being the helpers we are, we were able to pull some strands of lights out of the box and 'detangle' them. Great helpers we are!



I'm headed to my secret spot for 'detangling'

Wait...me too!! I'm coming, brother!


Sunday afternoon helping Mommy and Daddy put the finishing touches on the start of the Christmas season. Putting the star on the top of our new Christmas tree! Thanks, Daddy!

Too much work makes us hungry and thirsty. We're hiding our snacks from Mommy and Daddy so we get our full 20 minute break. Do you think they will find us in our hiding spot under the table near the window?

Now....I'm fully ready for Christmas! Bring it on!!

Some of our more favorite candid shots from our photo shoot. Ethan decided to have a major attitude problem and a melt down during the entire shot, however, our photographer managed to get some spectacular shots!







One of our new favorite activities is playing on the "Weeeee" (No, Mommy didn't mispell it for the 'Wii'). With every swing back and forth, one of us yells..."WEEEEEE!" It's so much fun and something we can do together without fighting. Although, we do get upset when it slows down or stops moving.

Fall fun in the leaves. Beautiful fall weather. Can't ask for anything better!

Throwing leaves in the air and watching them fall!

We're enjoying our new Christmas present early. Thanks to 'Uncle' Bret and Daddy for taking a couple days out of their busy schedules to construct our latest toy. It's much needed entertainment in the back yard.
We've each only taken a few spills off the top! But, we're resilient little buggers and we hop right up. We heard Mommy saying to Daddy that she bets we won't even make a month before ending up in the ER for broken bones. We hope to prove her wrong!! But...we are ALL BOY!! The more danger, the better!
Stopping for a 'cheeze' on my way up to the top!

Hanging off the top!

Thanks for our awesome Christmas present!

An unfortunate event led to Mommy taking a brief trip to Fargo, ND. It was wonderful to see extended family that its been 5-10+years since seeing, however circumstances were not ideal. We'll miss you, Great Grandma Ann! RIP

Mommy's favorite nieces!

Yay...we get to see cousins' Maris and Tiffany in 1 week for Thanksgiving!

A quick picture with my nephew!

We're headed in to the busy holiday season! Yay!

Trick or Treat?!

We had so much fun for the spooky holiday! Not only did we get to spend the weekend alone with Grandma, but Mom and Dad let us go out and trick or treat!! Grandma didn't make us go to school, but she did, however, take us to school for our Halloween party and then bring us home. We got away with a lot of stuff. After all... GRANDMAs are way better than Mommys and Daddys. They always say yes!
Our first house we stopped at 'uncle' Bret and 'auntie' Nikki's house. We got lots of surprises for our buckets! A quick pose with Grandma before we hit the streets to collect all that candy!
Sesame Street... better watch out! Cookie and Elmo!


What a great night! Headed home with Daddy!



Mommy and Daddy's first weekend alone since our birth day! They sure did have a great time. Especially seeing TU beat Notre Dame! Go TU! Thanks, Grandma, for everything! We appreciate the offer to babysit for the weekend!

Can't wait to collect all those sugar treats and scare everyone!

Pumpkin hunting!

Our neighbors, 'Uncle' Bret and 'Auntie' Nikki, asked us if we wanted to go find the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. We were ecstatic to go around and pick up those orange balls with handles! It was sooo much fun!

Bret giving me a ride!

Kiki showing Mommy some cool straw scarecrow!

Scarecrow Kiki???


I found one!!! I found one!!! The perfect pumpkin! Look at me!


On the hunt for the perfect pumpkin. So many to choose from, I better get myself a wheelbarrow to carry them around.

School Pics!

We are finally all healed from surgery and WOW... it's been amazing to see the changes. After we recovered, Mom & Dad have noticed a tremendous increase in the number of words we say and better enunciation of all our words. Our latest new word is "MOON". Mom took us outside to look at the 'lights' tonight and the MOON was the brightest light of all! We are 100% sure we made the right decision to go ahead with the ear tubes and adnoidectomy. It has made a world of difference.

Daddy played 'single Daddy' for almost an entire week while Mom traveled to Philadelphia for a work trip. Boy...was he exhausted by the time Mommy got home! We kept him running! It was 'boys day' for a few days in a row!

Now its Mommy's turn to play 'single Mommy' while Daddy is out of town for a week in Kansas City. So far, we have behaved ourselves, but its only the beginning of the week! I think Mom and Dad have a new appreciation for the amount of work each does raising us cute little boys!

We took school pictures a few weeks ago and we sure do look handsome!! We even have a few snapshots grinning! If you'd like to see more poses, just let Mommy know. She has the website information and passwords to check us out.

We almost forgot to mention...we were the 'STAR HELPERS' today at school. A++ for the Madjid boys!

Here's a snapshot of us having some dinner outside, enjoying the weather and watching the birds and airplanes fly overhead. Pizza and peaches are the perfect combo! We love having a picnic in this beautiful weather!

Fair and Surgery Day!

We took some time out of our busy Saturday to go to the fair. We had so much fun!! Our favorite was the petting zoo (as you can see our hands in cage) and we actually saw a real cow MOOOOOOing. We giggled forever at that silly cow getting all pretty-ed up to be shown at the fair and mooing the whole time.


We're still at the fair in the toddler play area

Still playing...

In our stroller riding through the fair...

Surgery Day for the Madjid boys. Hoping this will end all those ear infections and help with our speech. We got ear tubes and our adenoids removed.

Daddy helped waste some time and pulled us in the wagon




Kiki being big brother pulling Ethan after Ethan took his "chill medicine" and hung out in the back of the wagon. Ethan's surgery was up first!




Kiki's turn to be 'zooted' with his chill medicine!

Finishing the surgery day at home with Mommy & Daddy watching our favorite movie...ELMO!!

Thank you for all your prayers during surgery time. Everything went great and our surgeon said he thought it should really make a huge difference. Now on to recovery!!
