Visiting Great Gran-ma

By
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.

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

By
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...

13 Weeks to 13 Miles! OUC Orlando Half Marathon Training: Week 7

By
This is it. This is officially the middle week of the 13 weeks to 13 miles training plan. It's the odd man out week. It is also the week after our rest week and the week that things really start to pick up speed. We have mostly done overall low mileage weeks up until this point topping out at 13 miles which is overall less than the half marathon... by a measly .1 mile but that mileage was all divvied up over 3 runs so it's definitely not the same. Now we start ramping up and we don't slow down until the week before the race when we essentially taper. This week is an overall 15 miles and by the end, we will top out at 22 weekly miles. Eek. We can do it! I know we can. I hope. Haha! Tuesday Plan: 4 Miles, Actual: 4 Miles Whew! Another run in the books. This one was probably one of the worst ones so far. Not because I didn't run okay. I was actually fine for most of the run. I kept my 1:1 intervals and paced about 13:30 without too many outliers as far as timing goes. ...

Spending Time At The Family Dinner Table

By
I set a few new goals for this school year. I have big plans. Always. Haha! Anyway, my goal has been to try to add one new recipe per week to our rotation of meals as well as use our slow cooker once a week. So far, we have been doing pretty well and so far, we have enjoyed all of our new meals. We did have a week of set back so far when we had no power after Hurricane Irma so that we didn't make any new meals or anything. The current week was another difficult week as we had to spend money restocking some essentials in our kitchen that we lost due to the power outage so we had to hold off on anything new this week, as well. The main goal of all of this has been to add new recipes but also make sure that we are spending time at the dinner table as a family. This is something we have tried to do since our kids have been old enough to understand eating dinner as a family. BC (Before Children) and even when Kenzie was small, we ate in the living room while watching TV a lot, but as ...
