Terribly sorry everyone. This summer was packed full of all kinds of things going on. You would think with all the incredibly hot weather we were having I would have found some inside time to update the blog, but truthfully it just slipped my mind. So here is a quick update on what we have been up to.
June- Zac started walking (on his own, not holding onto everything) one week before his first birthday while staying with Momo and Papa Killebrew. We had a combined birthday party for Zac and his best bud Jack who are only 4 days apart. it was pirate themed and they had a great time. Kat went to girls camp and loved spending time with all the girls and really getting to know them. Todd spent the month counting down the days till our summer vacation in July.
July- We spent almost two weeks on a road trip to the Martin family reunion in San Diego. We had thought about flying but realized we needed the excuse to stop in Meadview, AZ to see Grandpa Martin. Zac got to meet his Great Grandpa Martin for the first time and see where Great Grandma Martin rests. I would have to say Zac's favorite part of GGM's house was the scooter we would let him sit in our lap and drive him around the ramps. And carrying around all the picture frames he could reach giving each one kisses. He was a pretty good trooper most of the way from TX to San Diego but was sick and tired of the car by the way home.
San Diego : We had a great time with all the family being together. We had several service days of getting Grandma CC and Papa Martin's house ready to be sold. Uncle Tom put together a scavenger hunt for the family at Balboa Park (which I still think we should have won ;)... it was a close call) And we spend a whole day at the beach. This was Zac's first time at the ocean or the beach and I think he tried to take home as much of it as he could by eating all the sand he could get his hands on. And to top it all off we spend a day at Disneyland. I have never been a huge fan of the parades but after watching Zac's eyes light up when the princesses blew him a kiss or the monkey waved at him I think I changed my mind.
August - September- Back in Texas the heat really kicked in this year and we came one day shy of beating the record number of days in the 100 degrees. I know not that exciting but it helps to understand why we really didn't get out and do a whole lot. However Todd did start his application process for getting into grad school. And he was accepted! It is through an online program at Western Governors where he will be getting his MBA. He is able to start at the first of any month so he will begin in Feb. Other exciting news Johnathan and Jen welcomed their first little girl Charlotte Hayden. It seems to be the girl year on the Killebrew side with Carie Ann and Brent having their fifth and only girl Emily Kate in May.
We are in October now and just getting ready for Halloween. Kat makes the costumes every year. This year however Todd had a M&M costume from when he was young that his mother made him so I am making M&M costumes for Zac and me. Todd is the blue, Kat will be green, and Zac will be red. I will post pics when they are all made.
So there you go I will post pics, sorry they are out of order.
