Goodbye 2008......Hello 2009

Wishing you and your family a very happy and safe 2009. We have been so blessed this past year and pray that the coming year will be even better. We have two amazing kids and each other...nothing else seems to matter yet we continually get to enjoy so many of the things that life offers. We pray that you would experience happiness and good health in the year to come. HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE NAJM FAMILY: Nadim, Brandi , Hunter (33 months) and Ethan (14 months)

Auntie Mary's Party

On Saturday, we took the boys to Nadim's Aunt and Uncle's house to celebrate her 75th birthday! It was such a blast...there were so many kids running around and it was really nice for the boys to see some of their family that they rarely get to see....here are a few shots of the day.....how cute are they?

Donuts in the Morning

This morning after a great breakfast, i decided to give the boys some hostess powdered donuts.To say that Hunter loves donuts is an understatement so naturally he was bouncing off the walls before one bite! Ethan on the other hand has NEVER had one of these donuts.....needless to say he went to town....had to take a picture and share! What a great way to start off the day!

Merry Christmas from the Najms!

christmas cookies!

fun pics from this christmas season

hunter learns about the difference between boys and girls

hunter grew up a little bit this weekend. he wanted to spend the night at his nana's house on friday, and little did we know that when we picked up on saturday, that he would gain an important bit of knowledge. here's a loose, but similar dialogue of what happened.

HUNTER: (grabbing a doll that used to be brandi's, which nana still has at her house) nana, i be the daddy and you be the mommy!

NANA: okay hunter, who's this (referring to the doll)?

HUNTER: this is baby sawah. she needs a diaper change. i change baby sawah!

NANA: okay hunter.

HUNTER: nana, where's her penis?

NANA: (laughing hysterically at this point) hunter, girls don't have a penis. only boys have a penis.

HUNTER: (totally serious and intense about the conversation) then what do girls have nana?

NANA: (still laughing) girls have a vagina.

HUNTER: a bagina?

and so the conversation continued. luckily, hunter hasn't been totally fixated on this fact the past day, so hopefully, he's taken this piece of information and locked it away for now. i'm hoping the "where do babies come from" question is still a few years down the rode. nobody tells you about these things when you become parents!

disneyland at christmas time

if you know our family, you know that one of things we love to do most is to go to disneyland. and what better time to go than at christmas time! we had a chance to head up there a few days back, and although the fireworks were barely visible because of the fog, it didn't stop us from having a good time!

USC - Notre Dame game pictures

thanks to some of our gracious friends, we had the opportunity to take in the USC - Notre Dame game over thanksgiving weekend. it wasn't much of a game, but the time before and during the game was unreal! i can't wait till we can actually take the boys! here are some pics that we managed to take during the game..

i love saturday mornings. the boys and i have started a little ritual that we go through every saturday morning. here's a little peak at what goes on... just one more reason why my boys are the best!
