Friday Favorites

By
This has been a fun and eventful week. Since I plan a post about our mini trip to Palm Beach, I will attempt to narrow down just a few "Friday Favorites" for this post.


Saturday Snuggles. Saturday morning's are usually one of the few times our house is in a calm state. Kenzie doesn't last too long in that "state" so we like to get a few snuggles in before she is off and running. Saturday mornings we get her out of bed, go potty, get her dressed, and bring her in to our bed to try to convince her to snuggle with us for just a few minutes (sometimes just a few seconds). Daddy is always the #1 snuggler. I get put on the back burner for a few minutes while those two enjoy each other's company. I sometimes manage to get a second or two of snuggle time in though. It is definitely the best part of my week.


Pretty toesies! I don't get pedicures often. As a matter of a fact, my last one was right about a year ago. I couldn't resist the invite though when my friend asked if I was up for it this past weekend. Of course I was! I can't reach my feet anymore. I attempted to remove my nail polish earlier last week... but that was a fail and I ended up with a ton of left over polish on each nail because I just couldn't make it happen. I figured I should go blue for Will this time since I usually pick a bright pink if I get a pedicure in the summer. This picture was taken on the balcony of the hotel we stayed at for a night in Palm Beach.



She was not happy I made her put the Reese's cups in the
thing instead of eating them... 
Our finished, pre-baked product
 Baking with this little girl. This is the first time we have tried it... and she LOVED it. She stood up on a stool and helped me stir Daddy's surprise peanut butter blondie thingy. She even ate a few of the candies that were supposed to go in it. Crazy kid.


Whatever this is. Kenzie is a bit obsessed with wearing my fuzzy socks and my shoes if she can find them. We are lucky the shoes match. The socks never do. This is typical Kenzie. Being a nutty kid and "cheesing" like crazy.

picture of us!
Making new memories. We visited Loggerhead Marinelife Center when we went to Palm Beach. Kenzie loved seeing all the turtles. More about that to come in the post about our quick night away (and a recap of Kenzie's first time staying overnight in a hotel... believe it or not.)

Baseball, Birthdays, Picnics and Paintings

Whew! I'm tired. That's nothing unusual though. We had another big weekend. We started our weekly Spring Happenings list on Friday. Initially we planned on doing our Friday plans on Saturday but then Kenzie had a school friend's birthday come up so we decided to make some last minute changes. Friday afternoon Steven came home a bit early and we headed out to UCF to take in a baseball game. We have now hit up football, basketball, and baseball with the kids. They like all sports so far... though Will's first question when we mention a sporting event is always about popcorn. The kid has a popcorn problem. We love watching our kids be able to run around our alma mater's campus. It is just so cool. We love that we get to live close and go back to visit all the time as well as take in various activities and sports on campus. I'm hoping we get them so excited about UCF that they follow in our footsteps one day... though they can choose whatever they want. Except USF...

Friday Favorites: Summer Bucket List Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons. This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks. We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to ...

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. ...
