Friday Favorites

By
Did I mention how cute my niece and kiddos are? I'm sure I did. How could I not? This past weekend Julie, Eric, and Baby Evie (Kenzie refuses to call her anything other than this...) came to visit and meet Will. I am so thankful for family like them that traveled 8 hours each way to stay for less than 48 hours just to see us and meet Will. It's no small feat to drive to or from Atlanta. While they were here, we were able to get a few pictures of the family at Magnolia Park next to Lake Apopka, watch UCF and FSU play their respective games, and go to Long & Scott Farms to have some fun in the corn maze. It was a blast. We can't wait to see them again for Christmas.

In light of how much fun we had... this Friday Favorites is dedicated solely to last weekend's cousin and family time. Enjoy!

Kenzie can't help that her hair is bouncy and enticing, I guess.
Evie was focused numerous times throughout the weekend on
getting her hands on it. You might notice that theme in some of
these following pictures. =)

These two are too adorable together. I love watching them
get older and how they interact.

We had a blast this past weekend. Next week brings Thanksgiving. I can't wait to celebrate with our family and have a fun weekend having some family time as well as going shopping for the kiddos' Christmas. Happy Friday everyone! I hope you enjoyed your week and have a great weekend!

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
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...

Making the Most of Spring Break

By
This is the first year that "Spring Break" actually seemed like a thing instead of just another random week. I think that is because Kenzie is in school 4 days a week this year so it is more like "real" school rather than the 2 days a week that was preschool last year. So, I wanted to try to make Spring Break fun and something different instead of just spending it like another week. We were limited in what we could do because Steven has been super busy at work and couldn't take any additional time off. We already have his days planned out for the entire year so that he can take a few days here and there for specific things but keep a good balance of days in case something comes up and we need them. So, I had to come up with some things that we don't typically do every day but that were easy enough for me to handle two small children during and that were inexpensive/free. Side note: We turned in all the paperwork to enroll Will in preschool next year this l...

This is Seven... and-a-half

By
Today is Kenzie's half birthday! We kind of have a thing about half birthdays around here. We don't do anything major, but we like to mark their appearance because it is fun for the kids to know that they are officially halfway to their next birthday. It's a bit bittersweet for me though. As is the usual, here is a brief update on all things Kenzie. - She is still really tall. She is somewhere around 53.5 inches or so. I honestly don't know for sure. They are so hard to measure on my own. It's about 2.5 inches taller than 6 months ago so I think that could be about right. Either way, most of her height remains in her legs. - She is so amazing at math. Seriously, this kid got all her Daddy's math brains. Thankfully. Her teacher made the comment at parent teacher conference that she was so excited to see her best math student this year is a girl. She just figures out math problems super easily. She also loves it. She asks us to play math games with her o...
