uhh ohh....

Uhhh ohhh is RIGHT!! Sunday afternoon, helping Daddy put away groceries and I (Ethan) decided I needed crackers NOW!!

No waiting for Daddy or Mommy's help! So, I helped myself to the open bag of Doritos and instead of grabbing one chip at a time, I grabbed the bottom of the bag and started waving the bag in the air. Nobody paid attention to me until they saw the chips on the ground and then everyone ran towards me. Silly Mommy and Daddy...I just wanted some chips!! Good thing Mom is not a germ-o-phobe- she let us eat all the crumbs off the floor until we were stuffed!! No more Doritos for us for a while!

Mom bought us some cool new bath time finger paints. We had a blast splish splashin' once again. Could bath time get anymore fun??

Fun times with friends!

A mom's morning!! Nice enough to sit outside and relax with friends and fabulous enough for all the kids to play together. 6 kids 3 and under can be a bit intimidating, but fun was had by all! Here we are enjoying our friends' toys. We are so thankful we were invited to the gathering!!

When we weren't fighting for the power wheels, we were sharing and giving each other whip-lash...I mean...rides!!

Jumping maniacs!!

Taking a break watching the other kids fight over the power wheels!

Sunday funday at the lake!

A quiet Sunday morning out at the lake shore. We got there before anybody else did to beat the heat and the summer sun!

Mommy and Kian stopping to take a cracker and milk break for brunch!

Daddy and his boys during milk break!

Filling up his bucket and drinking...I mean dumping the water out. Good time!

Making dry sand castles in the sand

FANTASTIC family day. Much needed before a long stretch without family day for another couple weeks. Bring on the work week!!

Summer Saturday!

Mom should know by now that when I'm quiet, I'm probably getting in to trouble. I'm that quiet one that you would never expect to be a trouble maker but can get into mischief very easily. I found the "ish crackers" in our diaper bag and decided I would rip apart the bag and Zio and I would have ourselves a snack on the floor. You see in the picture that all that is left are our crumbs on the floor. Guilty face?? I think not!

Riding on my new truck from great-aunt Bernie! Thanks for the belated Christmas present!!

Those that know us will be able to tell from whom each got their dancing skills and rhythm from...Mommy or Daddy??

Learning new things!

Summer months are coming to a close but its still hotter then ever here. We're exploring new things and learning to do new things too!

Our first experience with a real sprinkler...both were super excited to see what it was all about!

Learning to share our toys, our space and our fun times together. The space part didn't last long (as you can see Ethan getting ansy) but we can do it for a few seconds at least!!

Eating popsicles outside and sharing it with Daddy! Yay for us!!

Learning to eat cereal with a spoon before dumping the milk all over the floor! That is still our favorite activity to watch Mommy get soooo mad at us!!

Sharing our fish snacks at the pool with our friends...not a "MINE" in our vocabulary. At least not yet!!

We've even got down the 2 step commands like - go get your shoes and bring them to Mom!

Before you know it, we'll be smart enough to go to kindergarten!!

A fun morning outside with Daddy while Mommy cleans the house. Kian's Dora the Explorer 'cool dudes'

Ethan playing with his 'new building blocks' (aka expired old formula)

Kian and Daddy having a pillow fight. Yes, its a little one sided!!

August in OK!

The August sun is heating us up here at the Madjid household. We've been stuck indoors most days because its too hot to go outside. Even the pools here feel like hot tubs so those aren't even fun. The boys have so much energy to burn Mom and Dad have taken them to McDonald's just to burn energy on their indoor play land.






Daddy has gotten the boys interested in "cool dudes" which are sun glasses and hats. Here's Ethan trying on Mommy's "cool dudes" and smirking for the camera!!




One of the rare cloudy days when its only 90 degrees at 8AM we've been outside playing in the back yard!

We're learning a lot of new skills. Drinking out of cup has been a new adventure as we soak ourselves with each tilt of the cup but we are getting to be so big we won't need sippys for long! We're learning how to drink out of a straw too!

This morning's quick trip to the park. Even at 9am you can tell we're sweaty and hot. Great fun to be out doors, just wish Daddy could be with us. Instead, he's working Saturdays. We sure do miss Daddy! But most Sundays are BOYS days cause Mommy works on Sundays so it evens out in the end!

During the week, we as a family decided to enroll the kids in a Christian school. I guess you could call it a daycare, but we are choosing to think of it differently. We will start at the end of the month. We sure will miss Ms. Natascha but decisions had to be made and this was one Mommy and Daddy debated for hours. Mommy will hopefully be quitting her second job soon. She has enrolled in school herself. Its a short study but she will be able to go in to the operating room with her boss on every surgery AND get paid for it after she's done. She LOVES the OR so she is super excited about it. With that being said, her Thursdays off will be spent studying for a few months!

Daddy's job is going well. They have been super busy which is good for the business, bad for the family. But, with the economy the way it is, we accept Daddy working long hours/weeks and very thankful he has a great job that he thoroughly enjoys.

Until next time...stay cool!
