As seasons change...

As we move from summer to fall the Martin household is getting busy! October always brings with it finally getting into the routine of back to school, beautiful FL weather, and birthdays, birthdays, birthdays!!

October 4th... Brandon's birthday is today! Another milestone in his life, he has reached 18! It is very hard for me to believe that my first born son is this old :). He has been through many changes and ups and downs this past year, and I am so happy that at this point, on this special occasion, he is doing very well! When I asked Brandon what he wanted to do for his special day he said that he wanted to celebrate at home with our friends. So, we invited our "Florida family" over on Saturday night and did what we always do best ~ food, drinks and board games!! We had such a good time just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. On Sunday morning he wanted to go out for breakfast, so we packed up the family and headed to Mimi's Cafe for some yummy french toast and pancakes!! Karol, Brandon's sweetie, also joined us. Brandon had country fried steak and eggs... AND a chocolate chip pancake! Check out the link to pics from his party and b-day breakfast!

October 15th... Kenny's birthday! No sooner will Brandon's birthday end that we must begin to plan for Kenny's 13th. We will officially have 2 teenagers in our household ~ YIKES!! Kenny hasn't yet decided exactly what he wants to do, however he DOES know that he wants to celebrate with his friend Gerald and I think that bowling and McDonald's will also be involved.



October 24th... Stacie's birthday! Turning 34 this year, still not sure what we'll do for my day - Hopefully Chad has something up his sleeve :)



Hopefully I can start to be regular again with my blogging... with so much going on, there will certainly be stories to tell!
