And off to the races...

Kamran has officially started walking!  He started much earlier than his big brothers.  His drive to try and keep up with his brothers, we believe, is the reason he is walking so well.  Every day he takes one more step than the day before. 

 

We had so many great plans to camp out and enjoy the beautiful fall days before it got cold.  We have even borrowed a tent from a friend.  But instead, it was rainy and cold the two weekends we tried to tent out, so Daddy made an impromptu campfire in the grill and we roasted our weenies like that instead of over a big campfire.  We even made s'mores too!

 Playing with my brother.  Doesn't he look good...he is 2 days out of his tonsillectomy!

 

 

 Brothers...we sure do love each other!!

The second half of our trip to Cali!

We spent an early morning bug hunting in California and Daddy helped us catch a praying mantis. 

We kept it in a little jar and watched it for a few days.

Mommy and Daddy then left us with Grammie and BabaJun and went to a wedding of a good friend in New Port Beach.  Mommy met up with some close friends/teammates from college.  She had so much fun! 

 

 A shot of Mommy and Daddy at the beach at the wedding.  A fun night out and so great to get dressed up!

 Back at the house, we play with Grammie and her iPad piano and games.

 And when Mommy and Daddy came home for NewPort Beach, they took us to the beach.  This is our favorite memory from our trip.  We played for endless hours at the beach and had some quality family time. 

 Since we were told that buckets and shovels were "out of season", Mommy settled on cups and bowls for our digging equipment in the sand.

 Daddy and Mommy showed us how to build sand castles

and Daddy was adventurous enough to take us into the ocean.

 Kamran and Ethan dug in the sand together for hours!

 A quick pic of Daddy and Kamran

 Mommy and her big boys!

 Cheese from Kian.  He was so excited being on the beach.

 And a grin from Kamran...he couldn't be happier!

 Ethan being the fabulous big brother that he is, he is always willing to play with his little brother and keep him entertained.  They have so much fun together, especially wrestling.

 

 Kian riding the wave.  Daddy was teaching him how to boogie board and he actually caught the wave!

The first half of our trip to California!

We had a blast on our trip to California.  It was so nice to get away as a family and spend some quality time together.  This was Kian and Ethan's first plane ride (that they can remember) and they behaved beautifully.  Mom and Dad were amazed at how well they listened.  We had some funny incidences in the airport (like Kian's pants falling down around his ankles in the middle of the people mover as we were running to our connecting flight) and some not so funny moments (like Kamran's multiple bowel movements that didn't stay in his diaper) but in the end, it was amazing how much quality time can really make you appreciate each other.  Kamran was like a yo-yo being passed back and forth between Mom and Dad, but in the big picture, he behaved wonderfully as well.

 

We spent our first day at Grammie and Baba Jun', after being picked up in style by a limo bus, relaxing around the pool, jumping in and out of the cold pool with Baba Jun and playing cars.  It was so good to see them!

 The next day, Mommy and Daddy took us to DisneyLand.  Kamran stayed home with Grammie and Baba Jun and Kian and Ethan got more quality time with Mom and Dad.  Again, the boys were so well behaved we spent over 8 hours at the theme parks. 

A quick family shot before we entered.  Can you tell we are super excited?!

 Daddy and the boys walking in to the park...

 On one of the spinning teacup rides all together!

 Our first character photo...we LOVE Pluto!

 We walked around the park forever trying to find Mickey...and we found him!

 

 After a long morning in Disneyland we went to California Adventure land to see Bugs Life and Cars theme parks and rides. It was soooo much fun!!

 

Maybe a little scared of Flick??

 And the moment we've waited for...we got to meet Lightening McQueen!!

 Hugs with Donald!



A great long awaited trip to Disneyland.  More California adventures to come!!
