Birthday Boy

A few new videos of the boy. Enjoy!

Two!

Z is turning 2 tomorrow. We actually went into the hospital on the morning on the 14th, but no arrival until the 15th. That was then . . .

This is now . . .

Kansas

Before and after our trip to California, we spent a few days in Kansas. On the way home, we stayed with Micah and Christie and their kids, and everyone had a great time!

Grady enjoying "Police Camp".

Charis and Z rough-housing and having a fine old time.

Baby Katy taking it easy.

Christie and Christina making homemade tortillas. Yes, we are looking good!

Micah was working at Police Camp and invited us all to come see a Chinook helicopter.

Inside the helicopter. It was a little warm.

Z tackling Grady while we waited for the helicopter to take off.

Charis and Z. Again, more balls.

California

Last week we got back from almost a two week vacation to California to see all of Nathan's family. Below are pictures in no particular order.

Granpa and Uncle Jeremy relaxing at the park.

The kids loved Uncle Derek's ability to make funny faces!

Z, as usual, loved the balls.

This was a common pose for Evie -- waiting patiently for Z to decide to throw the ball to her.

Amah, Z and Nathan on a hike. Z loved climbing that tree!

A gorgeous day at the beach!

At first Z was pretty scared of the sand and waves, but very soon found out how fun the sand was. The waves were still pretty scary.

Z and Evie loved the Mr. Potato Head. Amah did an HILARIOUS skit with him that Evie made her repeat about 10 times. It got funnier every time.

Libby in her car seat -- just hanging out.
