The wildlife at Angelo Drive

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to experience nature at its best. It happened to be mating season and two bucks came out to our backyard to duke it out. As you may know, Arman loves when he sees "Ahoos" (deer in farsi) so he was more than excited.

Arman shouting "ahoo" into the phone - I think he is calling Papa (grandpa Klar) to tell him about the big ahoo!

Arman cannot contain his excitement as he looks out to see the deer.
During the buck fight, a bunch of geese gathered by our pond.
Check out his rack!
Hey - shouldn't you be somewhere where the hunters can get you and not in our backyard???

Day Trip to Eau Claire, WI

Arman and Mommy took a road trip to Eau Claire, WI today to see Aunt Lisa and Grandma Klar. Uncle Darin and Grandpa Klar were both hunting, so the ladies (and Arman) decided to get together. We met in the mall....and pretty much shopped the entire day! It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but it seemed like Christmas in the mall. Below is a HUGE rotating Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Arman wanted to pose in front of the Christmas Tree (which is his new favorite word).
Some of you may not know that Arman has a fear of "mall cars" after a not so fun incident and Chuck E Cheese. He surprised us all today by running into this helicopter and reaching out his hand to Aunt Lisa and asked "monies".....Oh, boy.....the "terrible two's" have begun!

The Family Birthday Party

I'm finally getting around to updating the blog with pictures of Arman's birthday party with the family. Yep - he had two birthday parties in the same day! (That means TWO birthday cakes!)

"Papa" Klar, mommy and Arman blow out the candles.
Arman thanks Great Grandpa Chuck for his gift.
Grandpa and Grandma Vedadi gave Arman his first bike!
Opening gifts can be so much fun!

Happy Birthday, Arman!!

Arman is turning two years old on November 14th. He had two parties last Saturday to help celebrate the big event. The first party was for all of his little friends. They ate pizza, made art with stickers and ate yummy cake! In the evening, we had a party for the family. I will post those pictures in a future blog.

Below, Dori and Arman enjoy some delicious pizza!

It's sticker art time! Laura is helping Dori and Kennedy pick out just the right stickers to make their art beautiful.
Nicole is helping Arman and Calvin with their sticker art.
Arman gave his pal, Ethan, a big hug after opening his birthday gift. Vikings PJ's and Arman's favorite - a Nemo coloring book!
Did somebody say "Cake"?? Mmmmmm!

Halloween!!

Right before we headed out for Trick or Treating, Arman became a little bit apprehensive and decided he would take off the M&M gloves and just hang out on the sofa.

This picture was taken after we returned from Trick or Treating and this time, he was nervous about where his candy went! He is pictured below with Calvin (Darth Vader) and Ryan (A Zoologist).
Arman decided to play a few tricks of his own - here he is trying to scare us!
How could a face this cute be scary??
