joined by the heart and knit together by God. Monday, March 4, 2013. Unfortunately I am shutting down my blog. I am tired of having to guard my family from those that choose to do harm. I am actually decent at it too! Look at this kid! .

Saturday, August 20, 2011. I once loved posting our comings and goings. As I stopped writing faithfully, I did not know where to start back up. Margarita, from the Ukraine, lived at UM and spent time with us on weekends. Valentine, from France, lived with us for almost a month this summer. What an amazing experience to welcome new family members, however brief. We were lucky to get the great kids we did and it was fun to view Montana through their eyes.

This site is dedicated to our son Isaac Takiso, our daughter Tenaye Abigail and our family. Monday, August 16, 2010. Tenaye is a school girl! Monday, July 19, 2010. On one hand it has gone by so quickly and on the other it feels like she has always been with us. Thursday, July 1, 2010. Monday, June 14, 2010. Happy 5th Birthday Tenaye! .

More hugs and kisses, more laundry, more dishes! Saturday, February 6, 2010. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Brad and Stephanies Kazakh Blog. My blog was stylized at Blogs for a Cause.

Saturday, December 18, 2010. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Happy 13th Birthday Ryan! Ryan turned 13 on October 19! We have had a very busy fall so far. Grandma and Grandpa have visited and one of the things we did was go to our neighborhood fall festival. We all had a great time and Gracie ended up winning the pumpkin painting contest for her age group! Hope you enjoy the pictures! Wednesday, July 21, 2010. View on the way to Church.
