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.

Welcome Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

It's almost time! School is upon us. The kids in our county return on Wednesday. Kenzie's first day of school is next Tuesday. Monday we will have Meet the Teacher during the day and then Tuesday will be her first day of VPK. More on all that in a minute... This week though officially started our return to normalcy. It's about time! Kenzie started back to dance on Monday. The fall season started and she was so excited. She was asking me all day about when it would be time to go to dance. She was just so ready to get back to it. This season/year we have elected to stay with the same teacher she had last year, Ms. Rebekah. Kenzie loved her so it seemed like a great bet when we found out that she was going to be teaching Pre-K 2. This year will be a lot like last year in that they will do ballet, tap, and tumbling but the skills we be more advanced. More "dance language" will be used (though Ms. Rebekah has always focused on giving them proper terminology anyway)...

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...

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...
