July trip to MN

We took a speed trip to Minnesota for the 4th of July. We had a great time, but it was way too short. We spent 2 full days of watching videos in the car to only be in MN for 3 days. But, it was way too much fun! We spent some quick quality time with Grandma and Poppa and cousin Jason and Auntie Lauren and Uncle Jeremy.

Jason and I are sharing cars nicely on Grandma's road. Jason was so nice to bring some cars for us to play with. Thank you, Jason!

Jason even brought his Gator to take us on rides. They were bumpy rides followed by a few crashes into some trees, but we laughed all the way around the cabin!


Kiki wasn't so sure about Jason's driving skills...

Poppa taught us how and took us fishing. We caught lots of sun fish. 'Auntie' Shelly helped take Kiki's fish off and Poppa took Ethan's fish off.

Patiently waiting.......

WE CAUGHT ONE!!

CHEESE!!! with the latest, greatestcatch!

We even roasted marshmallows for S'mores with Grandma, 'Auntie Shelly' and Great Aunt Benitia! Yummy, yummy!!!!

And a splash party in the back yard. Of course, we got in the lake, but the pool was more fun because we could see the bottom.

And the evening before we left, Poppa took us on a tractor/wagon ride around the front yard!

Thank you, Grandma and Poppa for letting us come to visit and especially Grandma who flew down just to drive up with Mommy and us.

And on a different note....we must announce....

WE'RE GONNA BE BIG BROTHERS IN NOVEMBER!!! stay tuned!!

April and May for the Madjids

Months have past, and Mommy has still been really bad about blogging. So much has gone on that it's hard to recall all of our events. Mom and Dad sold our old house and moved in April. Uncle cAndy came and stayed with us for a short bit. Thank goodness for uncle Andy, he helped Daddy pack and move boxes. He also got to spend some quality time with us so that made it special. We spent a lot of time playing on our swing set.

Easter came and Auntie Buffy and Uncle Steve came to celebrate the Easter Bunny's arrival. We spent an entire weekend playing with our cousins, Maris and Tiffany. We went on an egg hunt and we got to ride on a school bus. School buses are our FAVORITE. We pick out every school bus we see every morning on our way to daycare/school.

Here we are walking with our cuz's getting ready to go on our egg hunt.

We got home from the egg drop and Mom had made us some eggs so we had the chance to dye some eggs to hide for the Easter bunny in the morning. We had more fun dying our fingers than we did dying the eggs.

Our new neighborhood has a pond with a park at the entrance. We LOVE going to the park to feed the ducks. Here we are on our way to meet the ducks. Mommy couldn't help but take this picture...don't we look like our father's son's. That's cute...huh??

While Mom was away on 'cation with Auntie Amber' for her wedding in San Diego, we came up with a new game with Daddy. We had so much fun over the week, we didn't even notice that Mommy was gone until she came home on Sunday.

Here's one of our new games...bucking bronco... on Daddy!!

A picture of the four besties on Mommy's 'cation'. She had so much fun!!

The adjustment to the new home went well for all. Thank goodness we had help for the move as Mommy was in the hospital for an emergency surgery. She is better now, but she's still trying to get the house organized to her liking! 2 days ago, we also became really BIG boys as we moved to BIG BOY BEDS! The transition has been amazing. No falling out of bed, no getting out, no stalling and game playing. We love our new beds!

Until next time, hopefully we'll be updating you on our successful potting training!

A little vacation from blogging never hurt anyone, but Mommy promises to be back and keep everyone up to speed with the latest events as best as possible!

It's finally spring time in Oklahoma and we are trying to get out of the house to enjoy the weather. We've had to be out of the house more than normal lately because Mom and Dad decided to put the house on the market and move. They're not sure where we are all going yet, but they better hurry because our house was sold last night!!

Ethan is not so excited about playing outdoors. He's one that likes to stay indoors, loves his Cars Movie, his Woody Buzz movie, and playing by himself with his toy cars and trucks. His language is very understandable, but his 'bull-headedness' makes him very hard to handle at times. Guess where he gets that from??

Kian, on the other hand, LOVES being outside, exploring and getting dirty. He follows directions quite well and is starting to jabber a lot, but it's difficult to understand him. Kian is our guy that just 'goes with the flow'.
A day at the zoo, Ethan is inside the petting zoo. He's loving being surrounded by all those sheep and goats.

If you can' find Kian, he's probably outside swinging on his 'weeeee'. He has figured out how to move it himself and will sit on it for minutes at a time. He LOVES it!

Many changes in the Madjid household, including once again, a change in daycare situations. Hoping we know our kids best, we have decided to take them out of our current daycare. As plans continue to evolve, we will keep you updated on where we're at!!

Until then....Happy Spring!

Saturday Snowday!

So, we've been out of school since last Tuesday, buried in at least 20 inches of snow with another 3-6 inches left to drop. There is no sight of school re-opening in the near future. So, for now, we are at home, stuck inside, and nowhere to go. We've been having a lot of fun, however we're getting on each other's nerves!!

We've enjoyed our yummy meals of 'snow on a plate'. 'Auntie Nikki' from next door told us not to eat the yellow flavored snow over in her yard so we stay over on ours!

Kiki's usual after bath parade in his towel. Don't worry, he does have a diaper on! Kiki had his first successful 'peepee in the potty' the other night. He was super excited about his accomplishment and even asked to call grandma to tell her right after it happened! Since then, Ethan has had one successful bathroom trip but Mommy and Daddy are sure not pushing us. When we're ready, we tell them. We do have a lot of fun just sitting on the potty!

We're outside playing in our snow castle.

Making snow angels with Daddy!

Zio playing in the snow...can you see him??

CHEESE!!!!

Mommy and Kiki playing in the snow!

OUR BOYS ARE BACK!!

We know, this is a long awaited posting. Life has been crazy busy since our last post and Mommy is so sorry that this wasn't done sooner!

We had an extraordinary Christmas. It was complete with Grammie, Baba Jun and Uncle cAndy coming to visit. Santa was very nice to us...too nice. So nice we've had to get rid of some of our other toys because Mom says her house has just run out of room!!

January started off great. An uneventful New Year until RSV combined with horrible ear infections took us down. The past 2 years we've received RSV shots to combat that horrible illness because we were preemies, but this year, we had to fight it off on our own. Unfortunately, RSV won...but just for a week. We're still recovering, but we did go back to school on Tuesday of this week.

Mommy knew her boys were back when they spent the majority of the day in 'time-out' and getting in to trouble.

To be off school for a week at home recovering, we got back to school and then we got a SNOW day! Yay for snow!!

Mommy and Daddy weren't too excited about it but we were pumped. We were able to hang out with Daddy and 'Uncle' Bret in the snow and throw snowballs and make snowman and angels. So much fun!

Yay for our health! Yay for snow! Now its time to warm up so we can get outside and play!

Videos

These videos are pretty self-explanatory. The first one we are jumping around like monkeys on a new toy Mom's friend so graciously sent for our birthday. She definetly wasn't thinking about Mommy's piece of mind when she sent it!!

This is our 1st annual Christmas program at our daycare. Notice who's in the front and who is standing in the back ready to start crying!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, KIAN & ETHAN!

It's true!! Two wonderful years ago, Mommy and Daddy welcomed us into the world. Scared to death, not knowing what their premature little 2lb boys would look like and the quality of life they would live. Amazing growth, amazing boys. 2 of the BEST years of their lives. You would never imagine what we really looked like 2 years ago!

Here we are eating our Elmo cookies for our birthday lunch

After visiting Santa, we stopped with our cousin's, Maris and Tiffany, to play at an indoor play land and run off some steam!

Pics from our birthday party where we celebrated with our friends! Thanks everybody for coming!!

Amazing life, amazing boys! Thank God for another blessed year!
