Tahl's birthday!

Yesterday was Tahl's sixth birthday! I can't believe he is getting so big! 

We decorated his door with balloons in his favorite colors. 

Ari made him some delicious birthday pancakes. 

We went to school, and when he started to get out of the car, I realized he forgot to put on shoes.  He was so surprised he didn't have them on.  We had to go home to get them, and this is a selfie he took while he was waiting on his tardy slip when we got back. 

I made him take a birthday tardy picture in the hallway on the way to his classroom. 

 It's hard to tell, but here he is after school in front of the marquee with his name on it! 

 Zev wanted a picture with Tahl, but T was not being very cooperative.... 

 He had a great day at school, and he requested chicken tortellini with butter and Parmesan for his birthday dinner.  Then we opened presents. He is very excited about this baby leopard from his Mimi. 

She also gave him "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."  We have already read the first chapter. 

 The Richardson family gave him this Lion Guard board game that we all loved playing. 

Before bed he opened another gift from his Pops and Gram. 

He was so excited to finally get his very own nerf gun.  He chose a zombie shooting crossbow. 

For dessert, instead of cake he wanted a birthday drumstick.  He was very happy with his favorite ice cream treat. 

Tahl isn't having a party because we are taking a family trip to San Diego instead. He did have a great day today though, and he loved being the center of attention.  I'm hoping six will be a great year for this guy!  We love you Tahl!

Last week...

Isaac's school had a school wide Seder last week.  He was so excited for me to come and celebrate with him. 

Here he is singing.  He was a little nervous with everyone around, but he loves to sing and dance to all of the songs at home. 

Over the weekend we went to Tyler to celebrate Macey's first birthday.  Here is Isaac holding the sweet birthday girl. 

Isaac and his second cousin, Eden, really enjoyed sampling Macey's smash cake. 

Here is a sweet picture of Eden and Macey together earlier that day. 

After the party, Isaac decided that he just had to swim in my dad's pool.  It is still pretty cold in April, so he was the only one brave enough to get in. 

Last, here is a picture of what I realized was written on the top of our family's big giant club house box.  

Watch out before you go inside... Zev has a pretty spooky imagination... 

Playing in the creek...

Last Friday, we had a fun afternoon playing at the park and in the creek.  Here is Isaac on the way to pick up his brothers from school.  He makes me force Dixie to sit in his lap like that.  She is a good sport. 

Zev and Tahl wanted a picture of Tahl at the top of this climbing structure.  He thinks he is the biggest guy ever these days... 

I let the big boys go down to play in the creek without me. 

They had some good brotherly bonding time making trouble down there. 

I took Isaac down to play with them because he really wanted to be a part of it. 

Isaac got pretty far back there with the big guys. He isn't afraid of much. 

Zev did have to help Isaac get his shoes back on though.  These boys got pretty dirty. 

We went on a Pokemon finding walk around the park's trail.  We stopped to take a few pictures on the way. 

Three cute boys. 

Zev really wanted his own picture with a flower on his head.  He's cute, but he's silly... 

We had a fun time at the park, but I definitely had an extra load of laundry from all our playing in the creek.
