Friday Favorites

This past weekend college football returned! While we weren't exactly happy with the outcome of the UCF vs Penn State game from Ireland, it was still fun to cheer on our Knights with some of our fellow Knight friends. Kenzie had a blast. Maybe just because there were other people around to play with her but I also think she liked getting excited about UCF touchdowns. She loved wearing her UCF shirt and has since taken to chanting U-C-F at times.

I would also like to point out that Kenzie is using her
brother as a chair.... poor little guy. He has no idea
what he is in for.
Speaking of using Will as a chair... I have started to use him as a table. I promise to stop when he is born. =)


These are some of my favorite moments with Kenzie. Just sitting and chatting while she colors. Sometimes she even lets me help color some. Usually she just moves my hand out of the way though and colors over whatever I was trying to color.


I have pulled out the book I was given at my lamaze class with Kenzie. Guess it's time to start brushing up on some of that info again. I never was able to use most of it last time due to how Kenzie came into this world. Hoping to get to use it this time.


I really don't have any reason to put this picture in here other than just that this is my favorite girl ever. Seriously, though... how adorable is she?!? She was watching TV while I got dressed yesterday morning. She was so serious about it.

Eight is Great!

Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...

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

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 ...
