As we prepare to go back to school, we think back of the fun we have had this summer. We started another season of basketball and have made MAJOR improvements. In fact, we are the only two that score baskets for our team. We've become aggressive (in a good way) and we go after the ball. We've even started understanding the concept of dribbling and running at the same time.
Its hard to get action shots of the boys without other teammates in the shots and keep one eye on Kamran as he runs around the gym. But, here's an action shot Ethan dribbling.
We took a midsummer relaxing get-a-way to the lakes of Minnesota. We had so much fun experiencing new things. Fishing, wiener roasts, swimming, tubing, camping out, tractor rides and much more. Here's a snapshot of our week trip that was a much needed vacation for everybody.
Daddy is 'manning' this dock with all the cousins fishing, along with a little help from Grandma, while Mommy was in charge of the other dock.
Daddy riding with Kian on his first trip around the lake behind the boat
Our first official wiener roast with our cousins. More roasting was done than eating that night and a few burnt hot dogs hit the fire as well!
Kamran enjoying the end results of his brother's hard roasting!
Boat rides were a must for the 5 musketeers! Watching the wake behind the boat and planning their next adventures and trouble making!
Digging worms with Poppa. We had to find the bait in order to feed the fish!
Kamran is wondering what those wiggly pink things are in the bucket...duh????
Our first big catch with the worms we found. Ethan is sooo proud of his catch!
One of Kian's proudest moments. He asks all the time when we can go fishing again.
While Kian and Ethan fished, Kamran took over the duties of driving the boat to the hot fishing spots. After all, he has to be involved with EVERYTHING his big brothers do. So, if not with a fishing rod, he was going after the 'big ones' somehow!
Kian and Ethan brave enough to ride together without Mom or Dad
Ethan 'skiing' on the ski trainer. A little bit scared at first, but he ended up LOVING it!
Kian liking skiing as well
Even Kamran got his turn behind the boat! Not sure who had more fun, Mommy or Kamran?!
Grandpa giving tractor rides and letting the boys drive the tractor
A couple of weekends after returning home, we went to a water park with friends.
Kian and Kamran enjoying some quiet time on the couch. Not a likely scene at our house. Kian usually is too busy to sit down so Kamran gravitates to Ethan.
Enjoying our bubble machine. Yay for bubbles and cheap thrills!
Kian and Ethan start their "big boy" school. Elementary school pre-k. They are super excited. Kamran with go to a church 2 year old program part time. And yes, our nanny will be busy driving back and forth and enjoying a few hours of quiet time every week.
Daddy is doing well. Loving his job, and Mommy loves his job even more now that he is able to spend a little more time at home. Mommy is well too!
