End of Summer :(

It's hard to believe that it's that time already. The summer goes by way too fast! We had a busy week last week. Ken went on his "annual" bike trip for 4 1/2 days. The kids and I went to the trailer and Alexis & I went tubing together for the first time this year. When Ken got home we spent a day at the zoo and also got our family photos taken that night. I can't wait to see how they turned out! We also had Middle School orientation for me and Zac. Then we headed up to the trailer for a long weekend. It was nice to have a few extra days there when the summer is coming to a close. We getting things ready to head back up there for our last big weekend of the year. It's a little sad but I guess I should be ready to start spending a little more time at home and maybe getting some cleaning and stuff done around here :)

Catchin' Up

Zac @ Kobe

Well I haven't written in a while so a few things have gone on over the past couple weeks.
Zac turned 12 believe it or not. I can believe because I have to live with him every day. It's amazing how they all of sudden know everything when they get close to those teen years. We went to Kobe for his birthday dinner and he had a friend stay at the lake with us for the weekend. I think he had an overall good birthday along with learning some lessons about how much things cost.
We also spent last week at the lake and had almost all of the immediate Zimmer family there. We do something which is really kind of helpful for me since I tend to forget things like birthdays a lot. We get together for a weekend at the beginning of August and call it Birthday Bash. The Aunts then give presents to all of the nieces & nephews at that time for their birthdays. It is a big bunch of shopping but then it's done and no one gets forgotten (hopefully). Well here's a pic of the kids that were there and a pretty decent current picture of the our 3 little ones.
