Top 3 laughing baby´s

Yakov is so funny!

When Gloria, our housekeeper leaves we say goodbye, the boys learned to say "hasta manyana" (forgive my spelling I don't know Spanish) which means see you tomorrow.

The other night Yakov made a poopie int he potty and as he flushed he said "hasta manyana poopie!" in his cute adorable 2.5 yr old voice I got a good laugh from that one.

Update on Bubbie's House in Israel

My mom is having a blast and it looks like the kids are too! After months of begging for photos we finally get to see what she's doing. The one with all the kids at the table was from a shabbat party. I love seeing all the kids on the sofa listening to "Bubbie" play guitar and sing.

Pics from Aunt Linda's visit

The whole family enjoyed a wonderful visit from Aunt Linda. The boys keep asking when she is coming back.

Special Disney pj's from Aunt linda made bedtime extra fun.

We had a great time when Aunt Linda came to LA.
We went to visit her at her hotel in Pasedena. She read stories to the boys.
She brought a book for each of them.

The boys had fun watching tv with Aunt Linda when she came to our house.

I had a nice time with Aunt Linda too!

Bath time was a blast!

Yakov made all of us laugh

Bubbie's House in Israel

I am so proud of my mom for having the vision and follow through to create a gan in Israel in her own home. I am so happy she finally has a job that she enjoys and makes money too! My good friend Devra was nice enough to share these pictures with me, her son Lev goes to Bubbies House. I look forward to the day I can see it with my own eyes in person, and my children can play freely at their Bubbie's house.

Camping at Castaic lake (45min from home, 2 minutes from starbucks)

Our 1st family camping trip

We were brave and adventurous. We packed up the car and the kids and went camping for 2 days and 2 nights. The kids were so excited to go camping. They have a book about a daddy taking a boy camping and setting up a tent and cooking dinner... but in the book the mommy doesn't go. The boys were very surprised to hear that I was going too. I later learned that my main job on the trip was to document it.

The boys really had a blast with their daddy. They had so much fun being able to run around and explore. Everything was new to them. Ant hills, pine cones, pine needles, and most importantly peeing on trees! Their favorite part of the trip is unanimously agreed to be the part when we roasted marshmellows in the fire. They also had a blast sleeping in the tent. Daddy made sure to pack an air mattress for mommy (now 7 months pregnant)

The boys went for boat rides with Daddy. I would have gone too but the limit was 4 to a boat. So I decided the best plan was to rent the boat for 2hrs and have daddy take one boy at a time for about 25 min each then all 3 together. My job was to stay on shore with the others and play at the playground while they waited for their turn. They were so adorable in their little life jackets. They were terrified but each of them tried their best to be brave. When Ben came off the boat he said to me "Mommy, I was so brave and I didn't cry!"

There was a path leading from our campsite to the lake where Daddy took the kids to feed the ducks and of course to throw rocks into the water. We brought soccer balls and a Frisbee and a kite. The boys really had some quality time together. It was fun to watch.

We'll do it again but probably not for a little while since baby boy #4 is joining our family in about 9 weeks.
