Our Summer....So Far

Hooray!! Matthew turned 5 years old on June 13. A super fun rocket cake complete with debris falling off the side and rocket candles to help it take off into outer space.
Eating his yummy rocket cake. The red and blue M&M's were his favorite part.
Look at all my presents! I can't wait to open them!
No summer would be complete without a trip to the Toledo Zoo. We go there often with the kids. It is a great Zoo! Amanda and Matthew are just being hatched. Ooh aren't they cute!
Going for a turtle ride. My these are slow turtles they aren't even moving.
A trip to the zoo wouldn't be complete unless you get a picture of the family with an elephant's behind in the background. But it's okay because that's the baby elephant.





Our summer started by having to say good-bye to some dear friends. The Bardwells were our neighbors in Iowa. Jared and Steve went to DMU together and we both ended up in Michigan for residency. They moved to Atlanta this summer and we already miss them. Nathan is sitting with Matthew and Ethan and they are enjoying some very delicious smores.
Did I say delicious? That would be an understatement. Scrumptious!!
Amanda and Mikayla are best of friends. They have been friends since before they were 1 years old. Miss you guys already! Good luck in Atlanta!
