Random fun

The week between Christmas and New Years is always slow and relaxing.  Here I am doing the dishes with Maya and Dixie by my feet.  Maya is always there, but Dixie was very worried about some stormy weather.

Here is how we play board games now... 

Zev is getting his new bike down!  Here is a video of him riding!

This is just a shot of Tahl and Isaac riding scooters and bikes in crazy costumes.  Don't you ride with spider arms, capes, princess tiaras, etc.?

We went to Kid Mania with friends over the winter break. 

 Maya had a little fun with the big kids. 

She loves Tahl's friend Naomi.

 She also loves to bounce on my legs. 

We went to the zoo with the Richardsons.  In this video you can hear some parseltongue.

I love Maya right up in the middle looking at the Komodo Dragon. 

Six boys is a large amount of silliness. 

 Isaac REALLY loved the carousel this day. 

The boys had fun with their toys dressing them up one day. 

Yup, this pig is wearing underwear. 

Look at this big girl at the park! 

 The boys love to help feed Maya. 

Because she is the cutest... 

Even when she zonks out in the car. 

Here is Isaac painting a tree at school. 

His group was in charge of shabbat this week. 

Here they are singing their song! We practiced all week.

Isaac was really proud of this awesome thing he made. 

Here is Tahl watching the muppets and banging on his tush.  My brother and I used to watch this show and sit just like this. Genetics are strong. 

We got a trampoline for the living room because I am crazy.  These boys really need to be able to get some energy out. 

 Here is Maya having a playdate with her friend Rocco. 

Maya is 8 months!

Maya is eight months old!  The time is just flying by now! 

Especially because this girl is busy!  She loves to rip paper, blow raspberries with her tongue, play with the dog food, anything fun to a baby! 

She is still a very happy baby unless she is hungry, then she needs food NOW. 

She loves to snuggle and be silly. 

Her is her tongue, her favorite discovery of the month. 

She still loves her brother, and I think that will just grow and grow as she can play with them more. 

I love that she is the only one looking in this picture. 

I love the four crazy kids, and they really love each other. 

We love you Maya! 

New Year's Eve in Tyler

We went to Tyler for New Years Eve. 

The boys had fun opening their gifts from Pops and Gram. 

We went to the little Discovery Museum in Tyler for one afternoon. 

Isaac built this crazy thing. 

Then he made this bed for a friend.

It is always fun to dress up there. 

Tahl was busy being Ursula. 

Madison thinks he's a little crazy. 

Here he is as Maleficent cursing this baby. 

We did sparklers with Pops! 

I was having fun celebrating with girl. 

I tried to get a cute picture of Maya, but she felt like teething. 

This was the best I could do. 

     

Dixie with the photobomb. 

Isn't she the cutest with Madi! 

I had the most amazing year even with our sad time in March. We had amazing travels and the best year with our family finally complete.
