Here is Grayson and his bestest buddy Mason they are a few months apart and make for perfect monkeys on Halloween!! It cracked us parents up with the queries - "are they twins??" - nope, but they sure look cute together dressed the same huh??
Grayson peeking out of monkeydom purty curious about the world at the time... I was amazed that neither of the boys cried and basically had a good time running about in the dark, with other scary kids doing the same and what not. They're tough kiddos!
Grayson is the one minus a sock, we COULD NOT keep those on!!! And he ALMOST got into the KitKat, but - it was mostly avoided. Mason on the other hand scored with his Nerds and promptly shared like a good friend should right?? Enjoy the sugar rush!
YES!!! I'll take that pleassssssssseeeeeeee!!!
Final pic kinda SPOOKY huh?? I didn't think digital cameras could double expose, but yet - here it tis!! Maybe we had someone "with" us on our tour of the town in our quest for chocolates and sweets?!?! Who knows??
Us... November 2008

Almost used for Xmas Card...

Playing around with Photofiltre, which I think you can google and find for free... Its a neat program and we've had fun playing with Grayson's pictures. This is "old photo" I think!!

Japanese Gardens, Fresno CA





Postings are slowing down a bit and may stay a bit slow for a time! Just started my 4th semester of Nursing School, so may be really really busy! We will see! Doing a pediatric rotation AND a OB/Delivery rotation so it should be pretty neat!! Will do our best to keep everyone posted on our lives!! Curt meanwhile just celebrated his first year with his company ACRT and all is going good there too! He loves it! Baby Grayson right now at 8 months!! He weighs over 21 pounds and is 30 inches or so tall - OFF THE CHARTS! EEK! What do we feed him you ask?? Mama's milk, fruits & veggies, weird new three stage foods - you have to look at these at the store to believe some of them (read the contents on BEEF DINNER!!) AND all the love that this kid could possibly handle happens too I think! Anyhow! Love to all! T, C & G! ! !

Grayson at SIX MONTHS!!!

I gotta say, these monkeys keep me in shape!!
WAIT!?!?! Don't you touch MY monkeys!!!

This curvy position just looked impossible for him to be holding but he did for like five minutes, he has like a baby 6-pack that Mama and Papa alike are envious of!! Definitely out little Monkey Boy, very very active, totally limber and so much happiness in a bundle! ENJOY!!

Kleinknights at Grant's Grove!!

Grayson decided today was a day he was going to give it to us in angry speak... It was HILARIOUS!! I was mostly catching his looks in the camera that kept being passed back and forth, ergo the laughter and only half my head in the picture... I have many more pics of this look and am wondering if I can bind them all together to do like a flip book with the PC. I think it would be hilarious... Reminded me of a really angry squirrel!!
Uncle Eric, Tristan and Baby Grayson in one of the old "preserved" homesteads... Isn't much to the building, one room, a fireplace and a metric ton of graffiti unfortunately...
Inside one of the fallen trees off the beaten path up at the General Grant tree. We also have some cool pictures where its just the inside of the tree and the scenery at the other end. Very nice!! We actually took quite a few pictures, well, wherever we go we seem to, almost a hundred or so, too bad I cannot post them all! Its so hard to decide which ones to put up too!!
This is on the outside of the tree that is above this pic! We climbed up a pretty steep hill to get there! Go Mama Kleinknight, burn that baby fat!! You can get a pretty good idea of how big this tree must have been. The giant sequoia used to do quite well before they were deforested... They are nearly immune to effects of some fires, bugs, etc. Most of the big ones that is, and then they die off via "windfall" falling over due to a combination of maybe soil, fungus, who knows... The giant trees are amazing and worth a look at if anyone comes out this way!!
Love to all and gotta go! Have two tests to take today!! Just got grades on my other two summer classes, keeping up with the A's!!! Going to post a few of Grayson's 6-month old pictures we took at home pretty soon, maybe even tomorrow... Meanwhile, we have all been laid up with the "plague" a nasty cold that killed my voice today, guess I will have to take a pause and rest right?? Baby has handled it the best of the three of us! And poor Curtis has had to have a root canal on top of everything else!! Our weekend was misery!! So, here's looking forward to even better days to come soon!!! Love - Tristan, Curtis and Baby Grayson!

Father's Day!! A little belated...





A quiet peaceful moment with Cousin Tori, getting used to the high elevation near Lake Tahoe after coming from near sea level in KY!! Tori came into Cali and stayed with us for almost a month and helped care for Grayson while I took my summer course in Philosophy during the mornings EVERY freakin' day!! I sure couldn't have done it without her help!! What a blessing!!
Well, that's it for now! Love to all! Tristan, Curtis, Baby Grayson and a crew of pets!!

The first *REAL* food!




And there you have it!! A BIG BIG HUZZAH!!!

What a proud mama and a stunned little man!!
As for us, let's see! I mananged to whip out three units of multicultural classes in three weeks in the evenings in May and daddy got some quality time with Grayson! Hooray! Then I moved on to philosophy and nutrition right afterwards and am finishing them up as I type!! Managed to keep my A's still, and landed a nursing scholarship which may let me cut back my hours at work, that is if I can find a good position to move into or working something out with my boss - keep your fingers crossed for us everyone!! Gotta figure out what to do for August through December because the nursing classes are going to be pretty heavy! Meanwhile, we managed to work in a family vacation to Morro Bay and Montery and we all really grooved on getting the time to see the coast, and show it off to my cousin Tori from Kentucky who came out to help watch baby while I am gettin' slammed in class! HOORAY!! Hopefully we can get some of those pics posted soon. At least we are TOO behind, these being about a month and 1/2 old I think!! Time sure flies and we hope its all been as great out there for our family and friends as it has been for us! Oh, we also had an awesome camping trip for Father's Day with Grandma Gale, Tori and the Radtke bunch too! I think we have pix of that too in the camera, which sure holds a lot! So, maybe in a week or so (once my philo class is over!) I can get a few more out and share what is up!! Love to all of you, wherever you are and in whatever you are up to! Tris, Curt and Gray!!
