It's a ZOO around here!

Sailors like Uncle Matt! We love you!
Trying to get them both to stay and look at the camera is a challenge!

We love Halloween!

We went to the Russell's Halloween Carnival. The boys had a lot of fun!

Flying High

Jeff and Blade took a helicopter ride, "like Mater", at the Plains Fair in September. They loved it!

Go Griz! Blade 4, Tarek 18 month, Cousin "Nethan" 5 month.

"Nethan" is what Blade calls Ethan.

Newest Developments in the last week: Blade is able to say the Pledge of Allegiance, flawlessly. Tarek is jumping and so proud of himself.

I tried to upload more pictures but this is the only one that I could get. It's one of my favorites.

First Posting! Blade 4, Tarek 18 months

The boys are doing great! They are growing fast and changing daily. Blade is now recognizing his letter B and Tarek's letter T, on signs, billboards and books. He is also doing a good job writing them too. He loves pre-school. They have been talking about hiberating and migrating and he is telling me, "A bear hibernates", "Birds migrate,... to Mexico". He is also quite fascinated with Mexico, because we are going to Cozumel in December. This will be the boys first time on a plane.
Tarek is starting to talk. He has several words- water, bear, dear, more, dog, moose and a few others. He signs please, thank you and more. He is climbing out of his crib (AARRRGGHHH!). Most of the time if Blade is in the room in bed he will stay there, but if not he will crawl out. Also in the morning he will crawl out if he is the first away and go and snuggle Blade, so sweet. He loves to give Blade hugs in the morning.
