9 Years Later

By
I've mentioned that July is a crazy, busy month for us. Today, Steven and I are celebrating 9 years of marriage! I can't believe that it was 9 years ago that we stood in front of our friends and families as witnesses to our vows.


We have actually been together much longer than 9 years. We started dating all the way back in 2000 when I was still in high school and Steven was about to begin college. Who would have thought that a couple of  young kids that met through Steven's sister while working at McDonald's would be together 15 years later, celebrating 9 years of marriage?


We have definitely had our ups and downs through the last 9 (actually, 15) years, but we have a lot of love and respect for one another. We may fight at times but we always figure it out (eventually).

9 years later we are still going strong! Plus, without this marriage, these two adorable kids would have never happened. =)

This picture captures our kids' personalities perfect. Kenzie acting like a
diva and Will watching her with adoration. I can't imagine life without these two.

Also, because I want to make sure everyone doesn't think we believe life is
always roses around here... here is true life. Will screaming because I wouldn't
let him touch the board and then tried to stop him from crawling and Kenzie
refusing to look at me until she got her red dog toy.

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 ...
