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!

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...

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. ...
