this kid is amazing...

i hope our kids are this cool someday, minus the Notre Dame sweatshirt...

Star of the Month

Hunter is the "Star of the Month" at daycare. Until about two weeks ago, the days of doing crafts for my kids to bring to school seemed like they were far, far away. I stayed up working on his poster for about 2 hours, proud of my work and my little man. It was all worth it the next morning when he saw it.....big smile, a thank you mama, and i realized all he cared about was the car stickers i put on the poster.....so much for the pictures!!!

Pirate life for me

Hunter is growing so fast and with this growth spurt are many new "loves." One of them is pirates....He loves the "pirates" ride at Disneyland and his new mickey mouse pirate hat we bought him for his birthday. A few weeks ago we were at the mall and Hunter got this sweet pirate hat in his happy meal....needless to say he loves it!


The best part of this pirate phase is him randomly singing the pirate song (in his own way)....yo, yo, yo, yo, a pirate life me. It is getting better everyday and i am sure that by the start of the summer he will have it down with all the words! What a ham!

Baseball Anyone?

So baseball season started not to long ago, which means, with the three boys (nadim included) DODGER craziness erupts. Although i dont mind watching the game and i must admit nadim has turned me into a fan, baseball season makes me question whether i will be ready to be thrown into the political mess of little league someday. For now, we will enjoy our nights on the couch watching the game as a family and remembering times like the one below. Are you kidding me? He is SO cute:) Dodger fans beware!!

chuck e. cheese

every day, literally everyday, hunter asks to go to chuck e. cheese. so tonight, we went! here are a few pics after hunter ran around and worked up an appetite...

pizza slice #1










demolishing pizza slice #2 (i can't explain why he eats so much, but is still a twig)










proof that he left no scrap behind (well, almost)










ethan had to settle for a bottle. hunter was okay with that though... more for him!

dinner time

saving the best for last...

mmmm... bananas...

ethan and his friend brayden

ethan finally got to meet his buddy brayden (our friends tyler and keri's little boy) yesterday! they were born just 4 days apart (ethan is the older one), but brayden beats him out in every major measurement category, specifically height, weight, and girth.

based on the pictures below, it looks like these guys are going to be good buddies!
