8 months old

Tylor is 8 months old. 

He's getting cuter and cuter everyday and Jaydon is a great big brother. 

We love these matching big brother little brother outfits - only problem is little brother grows out of them way too quick :)  Tylor loves to play with toys and his favorite person in the world is still Jaydon. 

Jaydon's good friend Lina also had a birthday and they had a face painter there.  I didn't get any pictures of the party (must have forgot the camera). 

Jaydon got painted up as a tiger and for the next 2 months, every time we go to nursery he climbs up the stairs on all fours telling everyone that he's a tiger.  Mom had to join in on the fun too :) 

1st Hair Cut

Jaydon was getting a bit shaggy so I decided to take him to get a haircut. 

When I arrived I realized that the one who really needed a snip was actually Tylor. 

He kept rubbing his eyes from the hair tickling him, his ears were no where to be seen and (even though I dress him in boy clothes like camo) he regularly gets addressed as a little girl - but that's just because he's so cute. 

Jaydon went off to get his hair cut all by himself like a big boy and we settled Tylor down on my lap for his very first haircut. 

Fortunately our friends the Fenn's had the same plans that morning and showed up just in time to take some pictures of us before and during the snipping. 

Tylor was very curious about the whole ordeal and was very well behaved. 

Jaydon did a great job being on his own and after the hair cuts we joined the Fenns at the malls play area to jump on the trampolines and ride in the cars.

Emir Interview

This is fairly old news but in case you didn't see it when it first aired here's an interview with the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar.  Very interesting...60 Minutes: Qatar

Happy Birthday Steve

For Steve's birthday I got tickets to the ExxonMobil Doha Open (so getting the tickets wasn't very tricky). 

Last year Steve and I went to several games over the week but missed the finals and were kind of disappointed about that.  This year, since I wasn't around when they were handing out the tickets, I only got 2 to the finals. 

We headed out for the evening after putting the boys to bed figuring we'd arrive 1 hour late in time to see things start to get good.  Well they hadn't even started yet when we arrived - delayed due to fog. 

They finally decided to start about 2 hours late only to be delayed again because  the players were slipping on the white paint on the court due to the moisture in the fog that was still rolling in.  We watched as guys with suits ran out on the court scrubbing the paint to make it less slippery. 

Finally, the guys in suits got relieved by the guys in track suits.  In it's own Doha way is was mildly entertaining.  They finally started the 2nd round and it was 10:00 and we were late for dinner reservations so we called it a night at the tennis and went to an Italian restaurant that had just opened at the new Renaissance hotel. 

The food was mediocre but service was nice and they did their best to make Steve's night memorable. 

Jaydon, of course, loves birthdays.  He sometime pretends play that it's someone (or things) birthday and sings them the song and cuts up playdoh cake so we had to be sure to do a celebration with the boys. 

We had some frozen strawberry cheesecake and Jaydon made sure that Steve got all his candle blown out. 

Happy Birthday Daddy.
