We had a music party for Mazie and her friends. Here she is with her shaker
This was Mazie looking at something she found on the ground just before cupcake. Mazie was not so interested in the cupcake but ate the plate instead......do you think she is missing something from her diet!
Adli gave me a birthday kiss
And then Adli showed off his dinosaur collection
Moe and Adli playing with bubbles!

We had a playdate with some friends from Adli's school. Here they are making cookies. Adli choose the icing colors - Purple (his favorite color) and Red (Mine)
Here is Kevin playing with the train table
Here is Mazie - not to interested in the boys but thought her rolling balls were fun! We had so much fun with Alan, Kevin, & Emma and hope they come back soon.
Mazie showing off her sweetness (almost 8 months old)
And Adli spending some quality Moshie time looking a dinosaurs....Note the book and all them surrounding them. We have a serious love!
Adli and Josh enjoying a ride through the patch.....not by a tractor but by daddy power!
Ooooh which one will Adli choose - tough decisions.
This is the one Mom! 
Adli at the botanical gardens "viewing" the touchable, climbable art.
Mazie showing off her cutieness at 3 month - is she not the cutiest baby around :)
We got a fun package from Kari that included Robbeez for Mazie, T-shirt for Adli and stickers all with the Canadian theme.....to help us remember our roots. Thanks - see Adli below giving a big thanks. Don't worry everyone - Adli already has his Canadian citizenship and can name the Canadian flag better than the US and Mazie will have her soon. And Yes we are working on the kids to say eh :)
Moe and Adli at Grant's Farm......yes there is more there than free beer!
Moe with his new daughter Mazie
Welcome Mazie! She was born June 3rd, 2008 at 1:52pm weighing 8 pounds 1 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. Here she is hanging with Dad
Adli came to the hospital to visit. Adli is checking Mazie's head and then her toes.
Adli also had fun with Mazie's baby hat - pretty amazing that it also fit Adli's head. We are all doing fine and should be home from the hospital on Thursday.
Here is our update from St. Louis - I am still pregnant. Today I am 38 weeks and my biggest complaint is how big and round I am (will not show picture - I will spare you all) and how ugly my ankles are......I was told I have kankle :). Don't worry my blood pressure is good and the doctor says this is one of the joys of pregnancy. As soon as something happens we will put a post!
Adli got to spend some great time with family - here is a picture with Chava!
This is one of my favorite pictures - Adli with his cousin Jonah after swimming with Chava and Moishe.
This past weekend there was an open house at our favorite community center - we go swimming there almost every Sunday. Adli got to ride on his first horse.
And enjoy the blow-up bouncy all to himself. He had a great time!
However, this was priceless. When we checked on Adli on Friday night this is what we found. I am not sure what was funnier.....the 30 books in his bed, the sprawled arms, belly showing - sleeping short........he almost looks like he is passed out from a late night bender. I guess this just shows the power books can have on a little one....they are intoxicating :)
Here is a picture of our new niece - she is sure darn cute! I can hardly wait to hold this little one
Here is a ordinary blue laundry basket.....I was doing laundry Saturday morning when wait......
It started to run away.........Laundry baskets don't do this :)
ooooH this is a special laundry basket........... an Adli basket!
The previous weekend we took Adli to the Zoo. He had a great time and really liked the carousel. Did you know every animal on this carousel is present at the zoo? We started on the giraffe and then moved to the horse (the giraffe did not move up and down). Upon moving to the new animal, I was told "no help mama"....... my little boy is growing up :(
This weekend was my birthday.....another year old. My Husband got this amazing cake for my b-day and I needed to show it off......... I have such a great husband!
This weekend Adli decided that we wanted to get dress in "clean" PJs, so he went to the closet and found some 4t's and put them on. Really his feet are not this big! Downstairs Moe and I were cooking breakfast and it got really quiet in the family room. When we checked on Adli this is what we saw!
For our Saturday outing we went to ToysRus. While Adli and I were in the wash room cleaning a not pleasant diaper we returned to this in our cart. Moe found it and said Adli needed one. I agreed because the box was really small. When we got home it was another story! This garage is huge. Alas Adli and Moe think it is really cool, so that is all the matters.
On Sunday morning it was my turn to make breakfast and my skills are not at the same level as Moe's. Adli and I made cinnamon buns from a tube. It was a fun working with Adli and as you can see eating our hard work was fun as well. The love of cinnamon buns is a genetic trait passed from generation to generation :)
On Sunday Adli relaxed in a fun pair of pants that Oma gave him. Thanks for the ambulance and rescue truck pants - Adli found them in the closet and even put them on himself!!!
