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.

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

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...
