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!

Summer Splashin'

We had so much fun today at the splash pad in our city. We knew nothing about it until Mom took us to a playdate with friends and they were talking about it. Sooo much fun! Mom and Dad both had off today so it was family day at the Madjid household. Nothing like spending it outdoors sweating and getting wet! Good times!




Playing in the pool a few days ago at home.


Hoses are sooo much fun!

Although most of you reading this blog think that we are NEVER bad enough to need a time out, Mom and Dad beg to differ! Mom bought this new chair so we know that when we've been sent to the naughty chair, we have some explaining to do!


Our brains are like sponges. We are soaking up everything! We have taken a liking to kitty cats and at the same time, we have learned how to kiss. So, here's a video of crazy Kian doing both!

Summer time!

Summer is in full swing at the Madjid household. We love it. It's been too hot the last few days, but we sure do love getting outside and playing in the pool.

We are growing bigger and stronger and developing. We are long and lean and weigh 28lbs! Some of us a little longer than others (Ethan is an inch shorter than brother). We have a few new words on our list. We currently say: ball, puppy, dog, mama, dada, grandpa, grandma, light, bye-bye, bravo, banana, and probably some more that Mom and Dad can't quite understand yet.

Kian held hands with his first girl the other day. We were out shopping with Mom at a uniform shop and a little girl who was 2 years old came up and tried to hold Kian's hand. Kian wanted NOTHING to do with the little girl and pushed her away! Very funny to watch!

Ethan is trying to help...these clothes were folded about 15seconds before this picture was snapped. Not so much anymore but, nonetheless, he was having fun in his pile of clothes!


Showing our support...GO DODGERS!!

Daddy introducing the boys to a bug...and yes, that is Daddy squealing at the end of the video!

Vacation to the cabin!

We took a long vacation to the cabin in MN. The drive was long, but the boys did wonderful in the car. We stopped at McDonalds on the way there for a quick snack. Kian went to visit Ronald!

At the cabin in the pool with cousins.

At the pool!

Another summer day at the pool! We spent some time there on father's day and almost every other day since. It's been pretty hot outside so we can't spend too long there. We're 18months old. Can you believe it??

No news is good news!

Not much of an update. Boys are doing well. Mom and Dad are doing well. We're enjoying the summer and being out. Our favorite activity is being in the pool. Our next favorite activity is going to the park with our nanny. Couldn't ask for a better start to summer! Lots of splish splashin' going on!

A very busy but very fun Memorial Day weekend with family. We went to Omaha to visit Auntie Buffy, Uncle Steve and cousins Maris and Tiffany.
We went to the Tulsa zoo on Thursday before we left but this zoo in Omaha doesn't even compare. It's AWESOME!! We spent some time petting the goats and LOVING it!
