Family Pics 08

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! We love you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!

Brunch with Santa

We were lucky to get an invite from Kim and Lee to join them for brunch at the county club with Santa. The kids had so much fun telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Adarius asked for a marshmallow gun and a candy cane! (how easy is that) and Tavian was just in awe that he was actually sitting on his lap! I asked Santa to have a talk with Adarius and let him know just how important it is to be good! (I have to milk it for what it is worth only 9 more days to use that as a threat!) The food was great and so was the company! Thanks guys!

Thanks Nana!!

We spent Thanksgiving in Colorado and had such a great time! (thanks Mimi and Uncle John) Nana decided to give Adarius his Christmas present early as you can see it was quite a present! He is so excited to get out and learn to snowboard! I can't get over the fact how cute he looks all geared up. Elan took him down the 10 foot hill behind Mimi's (Shirani's) house and of course he was a natural! I guess that benefits you when your only 4 learning to snowboard -NO FEAR!

"How to get a 2 yr old to stop crying"

So Elan figured something out so amazing- how to get a 2 yr old to stop crying. Pull out your camera and start snapping away!

During his meltdown he noticed the baby paparazzi and decided to say "CHEESE" and then said "I-ana see" No more crying...genuise!!!!

Early Thanksgiving 08

Last weekend we had our early Wogksch thanksgiving at the cabin! It was a lot of fun. No big fights police didn't even need to be called. We all got along great. The kids had so much fun together the only time I saw Adarius and Tavian was when they needed a drink of water or it was time for bed. It was a good thing to, because I myself was busy playing Rock Band. We had our annual talent show for the kids Adarius did karate and Tavian counted to 10. Next year the adults will be participating! Uncle Ken brought up some little 4 wheelers for the kids, but the adults might of just had more fun on them! We even got my mom on one! It was such a nice and relaxing weekend and I had so much fun with all the family!

Halloween 2008!

This year Adarius chose to be Batman!! I figured this is probably the last year that Tavian will be Adarius's side kick. Last year it was Mickey Mouse and Pluto. Next year I'm sure Taye will be very vocal about who he wants to be. It was a great day. Adarius had a little parade and presentation at pre-school. He sang songs and all the kids wore there costumes. Then we headed to grandma's to show off there costumes, came home and Elan took them around the neighborhood. I love Halloween! There's so much to chose for breakfast, lunch and dinner- kit-kats, snickers, m&ms, and resess peanut butter cups. (and that's just the chocolate) lol

Yellow Belt!

"Ai-Ya!" Adarius has been taking Karate 2x a week for the last two months. He loves it and so do we! There is nothing cuter than a bunch of four year olds acting like ninjas. He just promoted to a Yellow Belt on Friday the 24th. Requirements to get the Yellow Belt: obey parents, clean room, do good in school, and attend all Karate classes. (Are these not the BEST requirements in the WORLD!!) He might just be in Karate until he is 18! - even if it is dorky to be "the Karate guy." We are soooo proud of him and all of his family was there to support him on his big day. Way to go Adarius!
"I'm going to kick your ass dude!"
"Attention!" "Yes Sir!" I love this picture just for the fact that he is standing still. That never happens.
Parent's proud moment!
