Luke's birthday party!

It was a crazy day but ended up being a great day to party! We had a graduation party for Mike's cousin, a baby welcoming party for my neice Hunter and then to end the night a party for Luke. It was fun! Everyone had a blast and then went to bed nice and easy!

Happy Birthday Lucas Michael!

Luke wanted a Powerwheels John Deere Gator for his birthday....that's it, nothing more and certainly nothing less!! Well, we didn't want to fork over almost $400 for a toy....




He was thrilled to get the pedal kind and is already having a hard time sharing! :) Happy 4th Birthday buddy!

Date night with the kids

Just before we took the kids out for the night we got a very unexpected rain storm. Mike was weed wacking and the big kids were playing!





We took them out for dinner then to Craig's Cruisers for gold then to the Kollin Park in Holland.

July 4th festivities

Building a Laundry Room

Lukey helping Uncle Steve build grandpa and grandma Rottier's new laundry room!

Visiting Baby Hunter

The kids are so into holding and trying to play with Hunter. It will be fun to watch her grow and see what she thinks of all these eager cousins!

The Columbus Zoo

Mike heard the Columbus Zoo was one of the best in the nation so we decided to take the kids this afternoon.......














...by the time we got there it was already 92 degrees and all the animals looked like they had had it for the day! We were hoping to see the polar bears dive into the water as there is an underground viewing area...that didn't work either as they were lying around...we were there for 4 hours, had to rent a double stroller and even that didn't keep them happy, by the end we were pretty much running through the exhibits so we could leave! (TOO HOT!!!)
