Visiting Great Gran-ma

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. They were on their way to Palm Coast to check in our their new house and stopped to see us on the way. We know they really only wanted to see Kenzie, but we're used to that now. On Saturday they went with Steven to look at furniture for their new house and Kenzie and I stayed home. We knew that Sunday was going to be a big day and didn't want to disrupt her routine too much two days in a row.

Sunday morning we got an early start and went to Crystal River to visit Great Gran-ma (Steven's grandmother). Kenzie slept about half the way there (total of about 45 minutes). We spent some time at the house with Diane while Gran-ma learned some new things on her iPad from Dad Y.







Kenzie also got her first experience with a dog other than Jack. She seemed to like Sammy. He is more her size and he was super friendly with her.






After visiting for a bit, we met up with Aunt Rosemary, Uncle Brad, Robb, Dante, and their brood for lunch. We had a great time visiting with everyone and lunch was really good. The sandwiches were huge! The only problem was that we were so full that we had to push back dinner quite a bit. Kenzie did really well in the restaurant for how long we were there. She had some oatmeal and applesauce for lunch. She did require us to hold her almost the entire time after she finished lunch but that was mainly because she was just so tired since napping seemed to be out of the question earlier.


On the way home, Kenzie slept another 45 minutes. That's all the nap time she seemed to think she needed yesterday. When we got home she was super fussy. She ended up going to bed early (around 6:30 or 7 instead of 7:30). Yet, she slept through the night and woke up this morning around 7. She is now down for her first nap and has been napping for over 2 hours. Guess she is now making up for what she missed. =)

This weekend should hopefully be quieter around here. We have a friend coming to visit on Saturday morning while Steven goes to have his truck serviced and we have a couple people coming over to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, but other than that (and church), I think we are just going to sit around and do nothing. Maybe go to the park if we have some time one of those days. Eh... I'm actually looking forward to a relatively quiet weekend at home.

The Doc is In!

Today we celebrated THREE with Kenzie! We had her official 3rd birthday party. She doesn't actually turn 3 until Thursday, but her birthday today with friends and family was a definite success. The most adorable Doc there is I admit, I'm a bit crazy. I start planning birthday parties months in advance. I have been planning Will's first for months already and his isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Anyway, Kenzie and I talked about it a few months ago and she elected to choose a Doc McStuffins themed birthday party this year. I will post another day about the decorations that I created for this party, but for now... a photo dump in honor of our little Doc turning 3. Our spread was pretty yummy, if I do say so myself. Everything from "Stuffy's Dragon Tails" (fruit kabobs) to "Squeakers Fishy Friends" (goldfish) and "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doc Away" (applesauce packets and cups). Will spent most of his tim...

New State Parks, Beaches, Movies, and Friend Time

Another weekend has been put in the books for the Young Household. This weekend was actually a bit less crazy than some of our others, I think but still filled with fun and some new things. We started Friday afternoon when Steven was able to come home an hour or so early. We started getting ready for our big Saturday plans and then made pizza and sat down to watch a movie. We love this Friday tradition. We try to do it at least a couple times a month. We used to order pizza but when we started watching our finances closer, we determined that it was better for us to make pizza either homemade or frozen (and the kids like frozen pizza as much as pizza from a restaurant right now so we will continue to capitalize on that for a while... Will loves homemade but Kenzie is in a current anti-homemade stage because she is weird). Anyway, we made a frozen pizza and some cheesy bread. Then we sat down together to watch Inside Out. We picked it up at the library last week and never had a chance ...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

Honestly, I debated doing a weekly update for this week because we didn't actually check anything off the summer bucket list... but decided to go ahead and do it because we did do some fun stuff. Plus, there are only two more weeks of this (including this one) so anyone that is actually interested can read it if they want. =) This week was fairly low key. Steven was dealing with his shingles diagnosis so we didn't do anything too crazy because the main reason he likely came down with it was because he is so run down and stressed out. Kenzie had school all week. Well, except Monday but on Monday's, we dance. She did great at dance by the way! She goes to dance each week and then spends the next 6 days asking us if she has dance. We made her a calendar for the fridge that lists her activities and dance is on it. We cross off each day so she can count down to dance. Doesn't matter. She still asks. Wishful thinking, I guess. And she is still rocking school. She is doing...
