Evan turns 2!!!

We got to share Evan's 2nd birthday celebration with his Uncle Kevin. It was a relaxing, small event, but everyone had a great time!




His new scooter from "mimi" and "bumpa".


Uncle Kevin got a few presents too :)

Visits to the zoo...

This summer we headed to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek with the Todish clan. The kids and parents had a great time and were worn out by the end of the day. Feeding the giraffes were a favorite and always the highlight.






We also ended up getting a membership at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. We went once with our cousin, James. His little sister Lillian also went, but she was still inside Kris' belly! Three boys running around with two pregnant mamas = a fun, but tiring day and ice cream was a must!!!


James and Joshua

Then, once we took Mia and Rowan. It was warm out, but we all had a fun time. They each got to pick out an animal to see before we had to get lunch and go home. The gorillas and wallabies were the lucky winners. Corn dogs and lemonade for the kids and I had an order of chili cheese fries...YUM!




Joshua's 1st Blastball season

This spring/summer, Joshua played his first year of "Blastball". It's very similar to tee-ball. The kids hit off the tee, but just run to first base. There are just 6 kids on a team and they all bat, then rotate out into the field. We found out that he enjoyed batting more than fielding, but he had fun learning the basics.
