Friday Favorites

By
Everyone is just going to have to deal with me for a few weeks. One, I am super excited that we are now a family of four, and two... I don't get out a whole lot right now. Therefore, my Friday Favorites posts are very likely to revolve around nothing more than these two little kids that are occupying all of my time.

Morning snuggle time has always been one of my favorite times of the day/week. On weekends we get lucky enough to have Daddy around to snuggle as well. Right now we even have Sunday snuggles since we are still sitting out of church for a little bit longer.



I am loving watching their relationship blossom. Kenzie is in love with her little brother. She wants to hold him, rock him, and love on him all day long. She can't go to bed at night without getting a hug and kiss from Will. The first thing she does every morning is run through the house to find him (usually in his pack n play still) to say good morning. I can't help but smile watching the two of them together.



Baby expressions are the best... especially when you catch them on camera. Whether a gassy smile, a yawn, or crazy eyes... I LOVE when I catch a funny (or adorable) face on camera.



I wish I could say I was loving "2"... but I'm not. Kenzie is seriously pushing my buttons lately. It's partially her being 2 and partially her trying to make sure of her role in our newly changed family. Despite that... I love this kid. We have some trying moments... but we have more good ones that I want to remember and cherish for a long, long time. She loves to have me take pictures of her and she will do something funny and ask me to take her picture. I, happily, oblige most of the time. Such a ham, this kid.



Finally, my amazing Momma ordered me a new carrier this week. I am super obsessed with my Beco Gemini and cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone that is into babywearing. I can see myself using this much more often than I used my carrier with Kenzie. This is super comfortable and with having an iffy back sometimes, I can firmly say that this one is way better on your back. Will is pushing 10 or 11 pounds at this point and it is like carrying nothing. I was using my old carrier up until this one got here this week and my back would start hurting after about 10 minutes. Now, I can wear him for extended periods of time... and no pain. Awesome! (It's a strange picture... but it is the only one I have. I was actually taking it to send to my friend to make sure it looked like I had it all set up right.)


What were your favorite moments of the week??

Baseball, Birthdays, Picnics and Paintings

By
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

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 ...

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. ...
