Visiting Grandma and Grandaddy

By
As a lot of you might know, Steven's parents (Mom and Dad Y or Grandma and Grandaddy) recently moved from South Florida to Palm Coast. This move was a pretty big deal as Mom and Dad Y have lived in the same house for over 30 years. Steven helped them move a couple of weekends ago but this weekend we decided to take a trip to visit them so that Mackenzie and I could see the house as well. Their house is so very nice! Makes me jealous! They have so much room and the storage is just insane. We had a great day visiting and Kenzie had a blast playing on their grass. They have St. Augustine (whereas we have Zoysia and it is still dormant at this point so it isn't really soft yet) and she had such a great time experiences the different texture. I'm still learning to use my camera as a true DSLR so I just had to get a couple of shots of Kenzie playing in the really green grass. I just wish I would sometimes think to have someone take a picture of her and I or the three of us so that I would have more as a family. Sigh! The life of a Mommy... always behind the camera and never in front. =)



She seemed to think she was a cow and needed to taste the grass too...
We are so glad they are close by now. They are actually about an hour and a half which is the same as my parents so we will be able to see them a lot more often. They are actually really close to my parents so maybe we will even all be able to get together at some point.

The Doc is In!

By
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

By
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)

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...
