The boys turn TWO!

Hi everyone. It has been too long since we posted last. And, Ethan, Zayne, and Tristan turned TWO on 2/13! Amazing.

It has been an interesting few months recently. All three of the boys are enamored with their big brother Brenden. And, they are very very talkative. They run through the house like three little tornadoes. Ethan, Zayne, and Tristan all have invented their own language that only they can understand. Tanya, Brenden, and Jeff recognize a few words but even tonight Tanya heard Zayne and Ethan carry on a three minute conversation about toys in a language that was absolutely not english.

Quick trip down memory lane

  • During the summer of 2009 we took Brenden, Ethan, Zayne, and Tristan to the Outer Banks of NC twice along with lots of cousins and even some family from Oklahoma City! Each trip we stayed for one week and all of the kids loved it.

  • The first trip to OBX was the week of July 4. We took all four boys plus cousins Megan, John, Mason, and Jordan - that's eight kids!

  • The second trip to OBX was in late August around MP 5 and we went with with Tanya's family from OKC and Richmond including Tanya's aunts, uncle, cousin, second cousin, all of our kids cousins, the four boys - it was awesome.

                Happy 4th Birthday Brenden!
                • In the Fall Brenden had some outpatient surgery to help repair the scar on his neck; it's looking so much better.

                • This winter we've had tons of snow. Take a look at all these cool shots. Brenden, Ethan, Zayne, and Tristan had so much fun that season

                • Tristan had a outpatient surgery in Feb 2010 because of a bad splinter in his left heel. He's doing great now.

                We're planning a trip to Oklahoma City later this year. That will be our big adventure for 2010. Plus, you all know we'll be at the beach too this summer; that goes without saying. We promise to keep this blog alive with more frequent.

                Jeff, Tanya, Brenden, Ethan, Zayne, and Tristan.
