Bijan's School Pic

Bijan wanted to include his Little Sister in his school picture- love it!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in the Bay Area and despite the fact that Emma and Sophia were very sick and we ended up in the ER with the baby for an ear infection, we all managed to have some fun. Bijan loves his cousins so much and couldn't get enough of them.

My poor baby wasn't feeling too good...

Summer

Hanging with Cousin Sophia on the swings in our backyard
Strawberry picking (and eating)

The first day Sophia arrived we dragged her to Bijan's buddy Brandon's bday party- at least she got cake. Bijan was so happy she was here...

Hiking with friends which required lots of snack breaks!

Point Mugu Airshow

Taking a break from all the house work we headed to the Point Mugu airshow- So Fun!

Here is Bijan during the finale show by the Thunderbirds.

Smiling Ayli

Her "what's going on here?" look
Ayli began smiling and cooing at about 3 1/2 weeks and she has become such a smiley, happy girl...

Okay, so I haven't added any pictures in over a year and a lot has happened... So I will try my best to keep the blog current starting now.

Ayli Meredith Moghaddam was born June 20th and we are so happy she is here! She weighed
8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 21 inches long and absolutely beautiful.

Family Campout

Bijan and I do a "Mommy and me Class" at the school where he will be starting preschool in the fall. They have an annual family campout event with great activities- many families bring tents and spend the night. We decided to go and enjoy the festivities and opt out of the sleepover (maybe next year). We had so much fun we really didn't want to leave. Bijan especially loved seeing his teacher and getting to play on the big playground which will be part of his classroom next year.

Here is Bijan playing in the "River" an awesome water play area on the big playground.
The river winds around and has a bridge and a waterfall. Bijan did lots of "work" in the river and ran around and splashed- I imagine he will spend a lot of time here next year.

And in the end the clothes came off...

Playing the banana shaker and enjoying the live music.

Trying to slide down the steep hill with the big kids.

Bijan spent a lot of time trying to swing across the monkey bars and eventually he was able to swing across two rungs- he was so proud of himself.

Roasting marshmellows for smores- yum!

In this picture you can see Bijan is wearing his mesh backpack that he got at the beginning of the campout to put all his treasures in- he wore it most of the afternoon and night. He also has on the glowstick armbands his teacher's daughter gave to him.

Packing up and heading home.

Strawberries!

I know I have "overposted" farm pictures- but I just love these. We went strawberry picking with our Mommy and Me class and you can see that Bijan has really got the hang of the farm life.

This smile tells it all- we are always so happy out on the farm.
Picking strawberries

There were big, beautiful strawberries ready for picking...

and eating.
