Steven

By
Steven is one of those rare, native Floridians you sometimes hear about. That's right. He was born and raised right here in the Sunshine State. He has actually never lived any further north than Apopka (our current residence just NW of Orlando).

Steven graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2004 with a BS in Electrical Engineering Technology specializing in computer systems. He worked with a really large tree farm here in Central Florida for about 8 years following his graduation as their irrigation systems manager. Now, he is employed with an engineering firm working in system integration and software development for water plant control systems.

Steven loves to watch sports. Any sports, but particularly football. He is a huge Miami Dolphins, UCF, and University of Miami fan. You can often find him in front of a TV or at a football stadium (UCF specifically) on any given Saturday or Sunday in the fall. He has, so far, passed on a lot of that love to Kenzie and Will.

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...
