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.



 What about you? What were your favorite moments this week?

Eight is Great!

By
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...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 11)

By
It's the final countdown! We officially have about 2 weeks left until the end of "summer" and therefore the end of our bucket list. We managed to check something off the list this week. We have just a couple left. There are two things that I do not believe we will be able to do, but I think getting everything but two things done is pretty awesome. We also added on quite a few fun things that I didn't actually add to the list and still have a few more fun things planned over the next 2 weeks. We will see how it all goes. Anyway, this week has been fun. Tiring. But fun. This was Kenzie's first week of VPK. And let me tell you... she rocked it. She is LOVING it. I know we are only 1 week in but I am still so glad to see her loving school again and doing so well already. I'm not going to recap her first day or most of her first week, but if you are interested, you can check out the post HERE . She did decide to try to wear every one of her new outfits this week....

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 ...
