Friday Favorites

By
Wow! I can't believe we are already back around to Friday. Sometimes when I think about it, the weeks seem so long. As we wait for Will's due date to roll around it seems like the days pass so slowly. Yet, when I realize that I wrote the last Friday Favorites post a week ago, it still feels like yesterday.

Without further ado... Friday Favorites:

We love our church and our church family. Kenzie loves it too. I have had a Friday Favorite before about our worship nights, which we love. One other aspect of our church that is amazing (although everything about it is), is the children's ministry. Kenzie is old enough to go in to the older classroom now (2-3 year olds) and she LOVES it. She always comes out of there telling us about what she learned and she gets to color and/or do crafts. This past week they were talking about how God made everything in the world. At least that is what I got from looking at her coloring and trying to get info out of her that made enough sense to pass on. Regardless, the kid was super excited with her hat. It was very adorable. She still talks about the day she made "super eyes". Granted, she tore them apart one day so we no longer have them... but it made a lasting impression.


I already posted this pic on Facebook this week. I think I forgot about it on Instagram though. I have actually gone Kenzie's entire 2 years without getting peed on like this. I mean, I have been peed on. Such is life as a mom... but I don't know that I have had it happen like this. I MIGHT have been holding her and tickling her like crazy. She was laughing so hard that she just couldn't hold it. That in itself was hilarious. I would do it all again though to hear her laugh like that. That is one of my favorite sounds.


This Tuesday Kenzie and I decided to make one last (sort of last minute) trip to Palatka to have lunch with Nana and see Papa (and Gus, the dog) before we decide to start remaining near home and the hospital until Will arrives. After Will is here I think it will be a bit before we make the trip again. It is only about an hour and a half drive, but it is through the Ocala National Forest and I would hate to start going in to labor during that trip. Plus, I am NOT delivering at any Palatka area hospital so I'm not willing to risk that. Sorry to anyone that lives or has lived in Palatka. It's just not happening. Anyway, we made the drive up in the morning and had lunch before turning around and leaving again. It is a long drive and day for just the two of us. Well, more for me. Kenzie napped almost the whole way home. I would have liked to have napped. I am so happy that both sets of grandparents are within about an hour and a half drive (they area actually less than an hour from each other too so that can be a plus for when we want to all get together).

One day we will be able to convince Kenzie to look at the camera again and not be so silly.
This week Kenzie received a gift in the mail from Nana. She was super excited. Not only does she now have a "Knights hat" but she has a "Daddy hat" too. Crazy kid. She just HAD to wear her Daddy hat to match Daddy when we went to our usual Wednesday night dinner.

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 ...
