Friday Favorites

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.

The Doc is In!

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

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 ...

Welcome to 4-and-a-half, Little Man!

Holy cow! Will is now officially closer to being five than four. I can't believe he will be a whole hand old in just a short 6 months. We like our half-birthdays around here. A very merry unbirthday to you! Anyway, in the interest of remembering to document what Will was like halfway to five, here we go! So, at 4-and-a-half, Will... ... is somewhere around 44.25 to 44.75 inches at this point. Measuring him at home is... interesting as he is a wiggler and very ticklish so the slightest touch and he collapses in giggles which makes measuring him difficult. Anytime I do it, I get between 44.25 and 44.75 so we are going to assume somewhere around there is right. Also, he rode Expedition Everest for the first time about a month or so ago and the height limit is 44". We had him measured against the height thingy and he was obviously tall enough. All that to say he is quite tall. If he is 44.5 (split the difference), then he is at about the 96th percentile. He weighs aroun...
