A blessed day!

Our beautiful miracle baby was baptized today. It's official! He has great Godparents too! 'Auntie' Nikki and 'Uncle' Bret have promised to guide him spiritually for the rest of his life!

Our great friend, Natascha, was there to witness the baptism. She's been great support and wonderful help to Mommy and Daddy. She LOVES the boys and will babysit every once in a while to help Mom and Dad stay sane.

Holding on to Nikki for dear life...as if he knew he was about to get dunked in the water!
And the official baptism...not a tear was shed. Just giggled with the water splashing on his head.
Our candle...
A quick family photo
Kamran and his delicious cake...too bad he couldn't taste it! We ate enough for him so we could be sure to tell him all about it!
He's truly a blessing and our little miracle baby. Can't believe he hit 5 months old. 1 year ago Mommy was in the hospital with a life threatening condition and baby 'Rito', AKA Kamran, was no bigger than a peanut. Today, he's hit 20lbs and laughs non stop. We are very blessed with all 3 boys. We couldn't imagine life any other way!

March and April!

The weather has beautiful here in Oklahoma and we've been out and about enjoying the heat. We are a bit afraid of what the summer has in store for us, but unlikely it can be hotter than last year...and Mom is not pregnant so it can't be worse!

We spend the majority of the hours outside from digging in the dirt to eating snacks.
A quick 'cheese' with our cheeze-its and water
Kamran is outside enjoying the weather as well.
Our first organized athletic event. Soccer at the YMCA. Yes, Daddy was roped into assistant coaching. Although he will tell you he didn't want to, we secretly think he LOVES it.
Kian and Ethan on the other hand, are not always so crazy about it. Kian spent the first game following the ref around trying to blow her whistle...
And he actually got out on the field, and accidentally scored a goal. He happened to be at the right place at the right time...and kicked!!
And this is where Ethan preferred to spend his time during the soccer game.
Kamran is still the most content, quiet baby ever. He only cries when he's tired and hungry and most of the time, we know when that's coming so we are able to head that off.
Easter holiday brought great treats and wonderful events. We made Easter cookies with Mom on Friday afternoon. Best part about making the cookies was eating them right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk...yummmm!!
Saturday morning we spent some time coloring our Easter eggs. We enjoyed every minute of it.
The Easter bunny hid so many eggs that Daddy had to help us find them. We LOVED it!
Uncle Bret and Auntie Nikki came over for Easter brunch and they bought us fishing poles! We've been begging Mom and Dad to take us fishing and now we don't have any excuses...Uncle Bret promises to take us to the pond.
Every spare minute we have we've spent it landscaping and getting the yard in shape. We let it go last year do to the recent move, the heat, and Mommy's pregnancy so we have a lot of catching up to do. So far, they have torn out the front and the back and planted bulbs off the patio. There is a lot more to do, however it takes many days when all you have is nap time to get work done!
We are looking forward to a wonderful rest of the spring and summer. No big plans, just spending time at home as a family. We are still at home with the Nanny, whom we really love and enjoy but we are getting a little stir crazy at times.
