What we've been up to......

It's been awhile since we've done a post.....we'll try to give some highlights from the last several weeks:

We had our block party last night. The firetruck and ambulance came so the kids could climb in and check out the equipment. Zach got an ambulance from his Aunt Allyson, Uncle Marty and cousins Sam and Raquel so we've been talking about how an ambulance helps people with "owies". He was interested in looking at it but wouldn't climb in. He liked the firetruck a bit better and wasn't scared to get in and out of it.



We closed off the street for the block party so the kids could run/bike laps in the street. Zach is only interested in any sort of bike for about 20 seconds, then he'd rather run. One neighbor boy must of felt sorry for him not riding on a bike so he offered to give Zach a ride in a wagon. Before we knew it, all the kids were in wagons! Where are the helmets!!??!!

A few weeks ago we headed to KC to Tim and Emily's. We were lucky to see Collin play baseball and dive in his diving competition.

We headed to the Indianola balloon races on Saturday. Rebecca joined us. We ended up parking at the highschool to watch the balloons since by the time we got close to the launch site the balloons had already lifted off (it took us 1 hr to get through the town of Indianola due to all the traffic). We had a good time and even got to see some land.

Zach got to check out Daddy's binoculars.....

Zachary also got to participate in VBS for the first time. He went 4 evenings at the NorthBranch station. His favorite part was the music and dancing......."rock this party.....everybody dance now".....


We spent a weekend with the Kragel family at Grandpa Dick and Grandma Phyllis' house. It was fun to have everyone together again. Zachary's challenge for the weekend was remembering Sam and Raquel's names. He had it down by the 2nd day!


We had an early bday party at Grandma & Grandpa's. The candles and party hats were Z's favorite part of the party!


First tractor ride with Daddy & Grandpa Dick...
