The Zhao Family

As I am catching up with posting these photos, I hope you enjoy them. They are just some photoshoots from our neighborhood behind the school. Brennan is little more cooperative but Clayton has some really nice shots too.


Me reading this? I am too old for this.


I can pretend I like this book....


I can pretend I don't like this book.






















OK that's end of the show. You all are not allowed anymore.

Oh yeah..we forgot to post the photos of Brennan's 2nd year of Pre-school. This was 2 weeks ago.


Instead of posing with a smile and somewhat anxiety face for the boy...he makes some in




I am ready for school man!


His own little locker / cubby hole







First day of school, learn to write you own name. It's down to serious business already.


While older bro's learning in school already, Clayton found a way to keep himself entertained !

Here are some photos that are past overdue...





When the boys help to wash the cars I think they end up with more water in them than on the car...but its fun to see them help out.




Who's poking out?



Peek-a-boo !







It's me too!!



Clayton's Bday treat (yes its last month)

It's a girl!! Yeah! Mama will now finally have somewhat equality in the family with her. She is very well and everything is normal, though she moves a lot more than the previous two babies. We will keep you posted. Thank you all for your participation and guesses. It was great!




Now the next step is choosing her name from the poll on the right.

.....the gender of our baby!! So what we need you to do is give us your input by writing your comments with your name and what the sex you think the baby from the poll on the right. (If you have already taken the poll, just comment on what you've selected) Once we get the results, hopefully we can post the ultrasound that day.

WE WILL FIND OUT ON SEPTEMBER 11 !!

Here are the final results from the poll for the baby's gender

You know, what you going to do when you leave the boys all by themselves in a room full of laundry? You just never know what you going to get.


This is probably one of the funniest/craziest pictures that I just had to grab the camera out and start snapping...(you might want to look inside the basket)


His favorite towel. I think it was a gift for Brennan but seems like Clayton enjoys it more than his sibling.


A little cop-n-robber action here. I guess the captive is going into isolation.


Guilty as charged and key thrown away with no chance of probation for life.


Peek-a-boo? Guess who's hiding from us?

It was a beautiful day to go to the Visitor's Center next to the Temple. We took a friend there to visit her friend's wedding, so we semi-dressed up the boys to visit the place.



"Someday I will go to the Temple" Its actually a reflection of the Temple but the boys are looking into the Visitor's Center.


It's like a city brother and a country brother just met up.


Just adorable


It's always interesting what we take for granted but yet when we look at what our children gaze from the smallest to the most mundane or the most apparent objects, they are almost always mesmerized by its unique characteristics as the case here. Abbey and I have seem this Christus several dozen times and really know it well but yet when we look at this photo we rethink of its significance and how it has reflected in our family and personal lives and the influence upon them as they grow.
