Just a little update..

Well.. Hello!! 

So this weekend. What a blessed and wonderful weekend catching up with great friends in my life. My weekend started off Thursday with dinner with Lauren. Whom of which, asked me over our favorite meal, to be apart of her wedding in May. I'm very thankful to have such a wonderful friend in my life that truly is a blessing.  Friday I kept the boys as usual.. Spider man himself..

Followed by dinner and drinks with a bunch of girls from college.. the only picture taken of the night (I have got to get better about taking pictures of other things other then the kids I play with--Someone hold me accountable!)

Then there was Saturday.. which consisted of running around Fayetteville and enjoying NWA with Annie and Katelyn. Which in addition, was when my purchase of my beloved poncho that I have been looking for high and low for, was made. That evening was topped off with sushi with Rachel.

Sunday.. oh Sunday.. lazy PJ reading Sunday. I heart thee. I have started a new book series. The Hungry Games. Highly recommended by a close friend and her husband in Little Rock. I understand why. There are 3 books in the series, about 200ish pages each. Delightful is what they are!! If you need a good read.. there ya go! 

And today.. 
 it was a snow day today. Sort of. I got a text at 6AM saying "No work!!"-- followed by a text at 8:30 that says "See ya at 10".. it was nice to have a few extra hours. Working at a kids clinic we generally flow with the school schedules. Well.. this time, we kind of did : ) But I did complete my day with a lazy Bachelor watch party with Lauren and some girls.. Oh Drama... Drama, drama that show is!!

Lastly, I leave you with this simple little message. 
Listen to your heart. Listen to the Holy Spirit and what is being spoken to you. My lesson right now that I am learning is so crystal clear. So obvious of what I need to focus on.. the areas where I need to improve.. the weaknesses that need to be strengthened. Not to mention, how this is all being revealed. Is simply amazing! I encourage you to just focus. Its not hard when you are just simply still. Just having faith. 

Jesus tells us in Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are those who have realized their own utter helplessness, and have put their whole trust in God." 

I hope you have a wonderful week!! 
Have a blessed day,
Kenlie

kids are funny

Kids are a huge part of my life and they hold a very deep and special place in my heart. Nothing makes me happier then when an innocent little one says something that makes me smile, or literally laugh out loud. And yes, of course, I love the embarrassing moments when they have no idea someone is listening to them, or the moments I like to call "innocent moments." With my job I am very fortunate to work with kids all day long. I am thankful to have to have a lot of "down time" while waiting on the doctor, so conversation is usually very interesting.. to say the least!

Here are some stories from here lately:

{10 year old boy}
Boy: Today is my Dad's birthday... Hey Dad, how old are you again?
Dad: 42
Boy: And how old is mom again?
Dad: 30
--Silence
Boy: Wait!! So you are telling me mom is like.... um... 12 years younger than you..
--Dad smirked.
Boy: Isn't that like how old Jack is? (his older brother) Thats like his whole life in years.. the difference between you and mom.

I wanted to laugh out loud so hard.. Thank you school for teaching children to do math! I loved it!

{ 6 year old boy today with a lisp and freckles (SO funny!) }
As I am looking into his mouth I say, "Oh Jack, you have lost 2 teeth and I see some permanent teeth coming in already!"
Boy: Yep! I got to brush those extra good and have respect for them because we will be together for forever!

I lost it. I told the dentist when he came by and we both laughed so hard! Great way to put it!

He also told me after treatment was over..
"Hey.. I've been thinkin.. Was that doctor dude using a jig-saw on my tooth?.. because that is what it sure sounded like to me!.. but ya know what?.. I don't even care, he could if he wanted to.. I didn't feel a thing! AND!! As long as I can lay here and watch this movie, you guys can do whatever you need to next time.. but not today, because I gotta get out of here. Mom promised me an ice cream cone"

Ha!! What a mess! He talked my ear off!
He told me all about his bike wreck and getting gas in his eye.. and all his emergency room visits. Mom said he was in the ER SIX times before he turned 5! I believe it!

{ 4 year old little girl}
ME: Katie how did your teeth heal up that we had to pull last time you came to see us? Did the tooth fairy visit you?
GIRL: Their fine... they don't hurt anymore. But ya know what? That tooth fairy must be a boy or something, it has no sense of style!
As I laugh, "Do what? No style!?"
GIRL: Well, the tooth fairy gave me these capri pants that were so ugly.-- I don't think I'll leave my teeth out next time for the tooth fairy.
MOM: Remember honey, I told you the tooth fairy probably gave all their money to other kids, and they wanted to leave you something and that is all they had!

my life in a Top10 list

10. My youngest sister graduated from high school. (makes me so sad, totally weird)

9. I saw Sex and the City 2 with a group of close friends at midnight on the day it came out. (quickly realized I'm too old to do that, or maybe I was just really disappointed)

8. I could put a straw in a whole bottle of Simply Raspberry lemonade. And drink it all in one sitting. (summer obsession. You must try.)

7. I am back on my running kick. (with new shoes too!)

6. I jumped on the Words with Friends train. (yes, I get the obsession)

5. I am still watching all the kids on a regular basis. (That will never change)

4. The week before Memorial weekend, and also Memorial weekend, was the best week and weekend I have had in I can't even tell you how long. (You may smile from ear to ear)

3. This past weekend I went to Dallas to see my cousin. Had an awesome time. (great food and shopping)

2. Summer hours started today at work. 6:45AM-3 everyday until August. Yes, even Fridays. (hello coffee)

NUMBER ONE:
 God listens. He answers prayers. He is faithful and true. He changes hearts. He loves us. His plan is most perfect. I promise promise promise He is listening. Do not give up. Pray. Hold your head high. He is in control. Trust that. Smile.

See why I haven't been around for the past two months? There isn't much to blog about. Boring, I know.  I still love being entertained with all of your posts though!

#1 is very true and holds a whole whole lot of meaning and change going on in my life. I do not mean it vague like the others. Its been my focus. My eye open. My love and my motivation. 

Hang in there! : )
Happy June!! 
(ARE YOU KIDDING! We are 1/2 way through 2010!)

just short of a month

I'm 10 short days away from it being a month since you last heard from me. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that really all I have to report to you is a bunch of rambles. Life lately has consisted of very very few things, but a lot, a lot of it on repeat.

Work. I wake up at 6:15, take a shower, throw on scrubs, grab my water bottle, drive to work, work, lunch break, back to work, home, dinner, shower, and bed. Repeat. Monday through Thursday. That is my life. I honestly love doing what I am doing. Working with kids and working with their teeth. Its the best of both my worlds. Finding life outside of work has been alittle rough just because I feel like a 82 year old lady when I get home and I really don't want to do anything but crawl in my big fluffy bed. Boring, I know. But its getting better. The sleep schedule is adjusting. My after work activities consist of more kids (duh), my bestest of friend, sometimes a Target trip, a boy.. yes, a boy, and anything else that I might need to do, get, or see.

Life is wonderful and I have nothing to be negative about. I do think about my blog through out some days in wonder of what I could share with you guys.. as you can tell.. you aren't missing out on much. And to be really honest, there are some days that my computer doesn't get turned on. Whoever would have thought I would say such a thing?

Other exciting things to share....
I am leaving for Canada in 4 days..
Easter time.. AKA Cadbury egg season, Mini Eggs.. the ones like M&Ms.. not those big things.. (best time of the year!!!)
I really really want a Nook
I am thankful for this extra hour we started today, so it wont get so dark so fast!
Two of my most favorite people from Little Rock came up last weekend.
I am ready for summer.
Kirsten and I have been walking A LOT and I love that special little time together.
I saw my cousin tonight for the first time since Christmas (SO SAD!)
God continues to be too good to me.
There is a boy in my life..

Goodnight friends! Sorry for being a stranger! I miss doing this, I really do.

converse



Or my scrubs to work.. whichever!! I'm not scared to do either.. in fact I love those "silly shoes," as Cooper calls them! He just got a blue pair!

Happy Monday!

Sunday, February 21

fingers crossed

What an exciting weekend!!

Friday night was nothing short of wonderful!!! I can promise you that.

Saturday I watched the olympics and had delightful dinner with Kirsten. It has become quite the weekend tradition to eat mexican food while sharing latest developments and laughs. I love my dearest friend.

Today I watched the kids. We watched UP and went to get ice cream at Maggie Moos. All in the dreary/lazy rainy weather.

Life is wonderful.. and I can't wait to share more about it! Keep your fingers crossed.

God is faithful. Have a wonderful week!

five totally random facts

1. This is the new Heinz ketchup package if you haven't seen it. How cool is that? You can squeeze it out OR dip from it. It's the simple things like this.. love it. 

2. We are getting more snow in NWA as I type, and have been all day long. Suprise suprise, I know. I'm about ready to clicked into my skis. This is getting rediculous. 
(Not sure who this kid is, but they made me laugh)


3. I would do almost anything to be in Destin, FL right now. I am in desperate need of my dresses, swimsuits, and flipflops. 


4. Today I was in a snow strom hurry to get out of the house and off to work. (Remember the driveway issues I have.. I was stressed.) In such a hurry that I walked out of the house and jumped in my car and didn't notice until it was too late that I was going to work with my neon pink, cuticle covered, smeared finger nails, that Libby did for me Sunday afternoon. Remember the pedicure this summer? She's 4. It made for a good morning laugh. 
Today I am thankful that my job requires that I wear latex gloves. 


5. The Bachelor. I have nothing to say about this. I am beginning to get annoyed. I don't want to believe what I hear, the "rumors" of what happens in the end... but its not looking too promising of them being wrong. 

God is wonderful! Goodnight friends!

Put a brick on their heads!!

I have not talked about my sweet boys in a while. Here are the latest adventures.. these pictures were taken awhile ago.

Tyler is now walking. Crazy.
And he in mesmerized by the TV.. Ha!
Cooper L-O-V-E-S Power Rangers.. TOTAL concentration. Ha! For sure has the "man TV look" figured out
And this is Cooper's "hey I'm listening to you, but these power rangers are pretty awesome" face. Precious.
Pretty cute, huh?
I went about 2 weeks without seeing these little guys. And I come back to Tyler walking, a bunch of new Santa toys, and Cooper with some new funny comments. Lets put a brick on their head, K? Growing up a little too fast!

I hope you had a great Monday!

Kids make me laugh

I watched the Clark boys for the chunk of my day today. At about 3:30 I looked at them both and said "Alright boys! Lets get out of this house!" Off to Sonic Happy hour we went.

If you have ever driven kids around you know, yes I am admitting to this,.. you kind of have to multitask. Drive and attend to needs all at once. So in the midst of doing this today, and getting drinks from the carhop, Cooper drops something as the lady is standing at my window with drinks in hand. I say "Hold on 2 seconds Coop, I have to get your slushy.".. I then hear from the back seat "ONE--- TWO-- K, I'm done holding, now can you pick that up?"

Ha! I mean.. really?? I love that kid. I just had to laugh and make that poor lady wait. And yes, he is three.

When you least expect them

Where to begin? The last I posted something on here I had no idea what was about to happen in my life. The blessings that would continue to overflow. Let's just say this, the saying we have all heard "Things happen when you least expect them" should be the title for Thursday. My family and I went to dinner for Alex's 18th birthday and afterwards I met Rachel at Theos. Because of my 1 hour of sleep the night before I was planning on saying hello and vetoing it out of there to my bed. But ya know, God's surprises us at times like this. Things happen when you least expect them. I can't quit smiling.

Friday wasn't anything to brag about. I subbed. Great day it was though.

Saturday was the last Razorback home game. Because of this being the third game in Fayetteville in a row, my Hog spirit has kind of dwindled. Yes, I said it. Kirsten and I have been talking all season about going to a game together. So why not the last one? (Of which, we showed up in the same vintage Hog tee and similar articles to go along with it. Ha, surprised? Not us.) We were accompanied by her sweet boyfriend Luke. So fun! After the game Kirsten and I had a little date out while Luke met up with the guys. Whole and behold. More blessings. More wonderful things. More smiles.

Sunday was my day to recover. To spend the day doing just as it is meant to be. N-O-T-H-I-N-G! Not to mention my week ahead of me.

As of yesterday I have become a Mom for 3 days. The parents of the family of 4 decided to make a made dash for St. Louis and called yours truly into run the fort. Not a problem. We got this. Staying over night with them is something I have certainly done before. But not since they have upgraded to attending 3 different schools and now take showers and baths in the morning. Makes for one early morning when you have 4 lunches to pack, 5 beds to make (including my own), breakfast on the table, Monday folders signed and tucked away, uniforms for after school cleaned and ready, 4 dressed for this winter weather, and out the door and off to 3 different schools all before 8:10. But we did it. Not to mention managing the crazy hair with the flips because the boys would rather not brush their hair exiting the shower. They'll thank me one day.

And hey, next time you talk to your Mom. Tell her Thanks, you really have no idea what she has done/does for you!!

And yes.. You fancy pants bloggers out there, I have now, four months later, learned how to link blogs together. I know you are proud.

Have a good day! Stay warm.

Pedicure by a 4 YR old

Of all the things I love in life, spending time with 6 particular little kids ranks very high on my list. Unfortunately for the parents, these kids can do just about anything (yes, within limits. But you'll see) and get away with it in my book. I clam them as my own. Love them to the stars and back. And can't get enough of their sweet little smiles and telling the funny things they do. They are beyond perfect in my eyes and I'm truly thankful to help raise each one of them. They are cousins, 4 in one immediate family and 2 in the other, and living about 100 yards from each other. They are my life. I'm totally in love.

For example, this is Libby giving me a pedicure this past August. Not too long after I went and got a "real" one, but she waned to. So what the heck, what's it going to hurt, right???
Getting a little more serious about it..
Notice in the picture above, the paint on the driveway. Ooops, we spilt it, but she insisted on finishing the last few toes before she cleaned it up. Solution: Bath and Body Works hand soup, a toothbrush, and water in a cup.

and LOTS of scrubbing..

And yes, my toes were NEON pink for quite awhile. And we have started something ever since. Lucky for me, my toes are usually always painted. Gotta look on the bright side!

Hope your week is wonderful.
Talk to you soon!

I mean.. really??

Ever have those mornings when you wake up for no reason? Going back to sleep is nearly impossible. Wide awake. Ready to take on the world. Yep-- that was this girl this morning. 5:19AM. I mean.. really?? Grabbed my book thinking that might work. Nope just made me more into it. More awake. Frustrated at about 7 I got up and put my tennis shoes on. Forget it! Off to run I went.

Funny story, about mile 6 a lady pasted me and her words to me were, "Honey, your face is red!" I answered with a "Yes ma'am!!" and went on my way. I mean.. really??

My dear little cousin has been wanting a Mr. Pig, so what did I do today? Painted the child one! OUTSIDE! Who ever thought I could go outside with a canvas, paint, brushes, sunglasses, tank top, and shorts IN NOVEMBER!! I mean.. really?? I got a tan in November from the sun? Yes sir!! 2 weeks ago I thought I was going to be living in my snow suit from then on out. That's Arkansas weather for ya!

Rachel texted me while she was at school today and we agreed that today would be the perfect day to go walk up by the cross to enjoy the fall on such a gorgeous day. 3 miles later, lots of laughs, and good heart to hearts. I think my exercise for the day is complete! 9 miles later. I mean.. really??

Today marked day 5 of wonderful things. Life doesn't have one complaint! And things continue to surprise me and make me smile.

Certainly excited about this week and it makes it even better that it isn't suppose to rain!!!

This kid woke up at 5:19 this morning and was fairly active. Time to count sheep!
Goodnight friends! Sorry for the rambling!

Get outside and do something fun tomorrow!!

All the above

What's better than to use a rainy Monday evening for a good weekend reflection? I can't think of anything, so here goes nothing.

Thursday was Tyler's first birthday, as I informed you yesterday.
Friday I watched the Lindsey kids while LB and Lyndy went to a Halloween party dressed as Skipper and Ginger from Gilligan's Island.. HILARIOUS, I wish I had a picture to show you! And then I met my dearest friend Rachel out for a little while.
Saturday I ran about 6 miles and watched the poor little piggies against Ole Miss (I think that can go without explanation) And I wrapped that evening up with a much needed sushi dinner date and night out with my great friend Kirsten.
Sunday, oh how I love Sundays, I didn't do a thing. Not a thing. I worked on my Bible study lesson and couldn't put Nicholas Sparks new book "The Last Song" down! Not to mention I read cover to cover the new REAL Simple November issue, oh man, I am ready for fall and brainstorming some great ideas thanks to that issue. So wait, I guess I did do stuff Sunday, I was a complete book worm. What a dork.

Late Sunday night I got a text from Sarah to check my email and I to my surprise I had this in my Inbox:

Cooper and his OCDness coming out. No worries, I texted Sarah and told her she can probably thank me for this issue. He learned this lovely trait from his lovely babysitter. OOPS! (I secretly love this, and love even more that Sarah caught this in action)

A heavy thought on my heart:
Peter. One of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He was the rock that God built His church on and also probably one of the weaker disciples. I have seen myself in Peter a lot this year. In Matthew I am reminded of the time that Jesus told his disciples that it was in God's will that He was going to be arrested. Jesus went willingly when the soldiers came for Him, but eager, loving Peter tried to take the matter in his own hands by raising his sword and cutting off the ear of one solider. Jesus looked at Peter and said "Put your sword away."

Later, in John, sometime after Jesus had risen, He greeted His disciples while they were fishing. The disciples were out in the middle of the sea in a boat. Precious Peter was so excited to see that Jesus was standing on the shore that he jumped into the water. He began swimming to the shore to see his King. Needless to say, the boat probably reached the shore long before Peter made it.

I am Peter. I have my own time frame, my own plans. When I don't see things happening, I try to make them happen and Jesus says "Kenlie, put your sword away. Put away your plans. Do you not want to do what your Father has asked?" So like Peter, I put my plans away. I put my defenses away. And I wait. Patiently. Watching everything happen perfectly, in God's own timing.
I am Peter. Excitedly jumping into things, and then standing, sopping wet, at the feet of the Lord as He is smiling at my stupidity. I get excited, forget to think things through, and end up doing them the long way. Every time, though, just as with Peter, Jesus welcomes my soaking wet self into His arms and is simply happy to see me.

I mess up. I try too hard. I jump to quick and think I can do this on my own. I am not always patient. I am far from perfect, and God will still use me. God will establish great things through me. He knows I will make a big mess and I will do things the long and hard way. But He has a plan for me, and has the most perfect timing.

These stories of Peter enlighten me. Although our actions aren't ideal in Jesus' eyes, I know I'm not alone. I know I am taken care of. And for whatever happens will happen at the most perfect time. My sword is put away. I will not jump until the time is right and without God's hand.

Goodnight friends.
Have a wonderful week!
Acts 5: 38,39

A year, already?

A year ago October 22 seems like only a few months ago. Cooper became a big brother and all I remember thinking is "I can't hug him enough, his poor little world is about to change!" (Being the oldest, I can remember when my little sister came home, I thought my world was over)

The night Tyler was born I remember how cold it was, it was raining and I couldn't get Cooper through the Chick fil a drive through quick enough before we went to meet his little brother with no name. We had to run by the house and grab Zak's cell phone changer and toothpaste. The whole time in the car I answered these questions and many more "Keke, what is he going to look like?" "Keke, is he going to play with me?" "Keke, are we going to take him home?" "Keke, why the hospital?" "Keke, is he going back in Momma's tummy?" Like most 2 year olds, he had no clue what was going on, no idea this was a permanent deal. But what a proud and great big brother he has been this year!

Here are several pictures of Tyler throughout the year

First or second day home from the hospital.

A random smile during the first month or two.

Playing sometime during the spring/early summer.

Figuring out the whole crawling thing

And stopped for a smile..

Fastest cantaloupe eater!

Happy 1st Birthday big T!!
Zak and Sarah with the Birthday boy!

Loving on this little guy and his big brother are what I do several days a week!

Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!! I can't believe you are a year old!

Love you guys!!
XoXo

GET ME OUT OF THIS TOWN

This will be my location in 24 HOURS!! Beyond last minute, totally excited and so needed!!

Sarah and I have decided to get away from this rain and enjoy the beach for a few days! I couldn't be more excited and can't wait to play with my sweet boys on the beach. Cooper and I will probably build quite the sandcastle! I am certainly due for some time away from life in Fayetteville.

****
On a side note. Do you ever have those moments in life when you go "OK God, THANKS! WHY DON'T YOU JUST SPEEK A LITTLE CLEARER!!" I certainly did tonight when I was asked to read Isaiah 41:13

"For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

YEP! Pretty crystal clear if I've ever seen it!
God is good!

Can't promise posts from the beach, but I do promise them when I get back! Hope life is wonderful in your neck of the woods! Blog to ya Tuesday!!!

Much Love

"Q" (Post #2 for today)

I lied. I didn't fall asleep.

As I attempted to go to sleep I thought about a very random, but mind boggling thought Sarah brought to my attention the other night.

Cooper and Sarah walked in Wednesday night after church and he was singing some little ABC song that they were listening to in the car. He got to the letter "Q" and then said something like "Q followed by the letter U".. First thought, no, R follows after Q. Sarah and I looked at each other. She looked at me and said "Keke, maybe you can prove me wrong but can you think of any words that aren't spelled 'Qu--' I've been thinking the whole way home and that is the only thing I can think of that song that song might be saying.".. HUM. 'queen, question, quit, quite, quiet, quarter, quick..' NOPE SURE CAN'T! So I get out my phone and go the the Dictionary and start typing in "qu, qi, qe,qa.. and so forth. Nothing.

So tonight as I lay in my bed unable to sleep I pull out the ol' dictionary. According to Webster Handy College Dictionary there are two words that are not spelled "qu--"

1. qiana: meaning silk like nylon fabric
2. qwerty: meaning having certain layout of keys on the keyboard (first 6 letter on the top left row)

Now, I don't have like the true, every word in the English language dictionary in my hands, but according to this one. Yes Sarah, it is accurate to say that almost all Q words are followed by the letter U.

Thank you toddler ABC song for teaching a 33 and 23 years old a little bit about their own language they have been speaking for a good while now. Appreciated.

Maybe this is something everyone knows. News to us though.

Makes for a good laugh! Or a good trivia question??

OK! For real, GOODNIGHT!

Little Bit of Everything

Hello my fellow little friends! This post is a bunch of randomness, but oh so fun!

So if you were on Twitter, Facebook, listened to the radio, or possibly turned on your television set you might have heard that Fayetteville had quite the tornado warnings this October evening. Cool. Not. I spent this warning in the company of several friends over dinner. Afterwards Kirsten said she needed to run to Lowe's to pick up something. So what did I do? Tagged along! DUH! Tornado.. tornada.. WHO CARES! Yep, thats right. Kirsten and I spent some of our tornado warning being the only customers in the whole store. The ladies at the front register looked pretty shocked when they saw our dripping wet selves bebop-in our way through the door. But really, do you expect any less from us? Hobby Lobby or Lowe's that's where we can usually be found!

My latest personal project has been a chunky full length mirror. In my attempt of making this a week ago I broke the first mirror, yes I know, 7 years of bad luck. Tonight was the night to finish this project! And WA-LA!!! A teal chunky mirror with accent colors of deep red and gold, and with balls!
Tomorrow's project: Full length mirrors for Riffraff.
The original Mr. Pig now has a loving home. So I made this one tonight and I personally think he is much better than the first. This little guy will be making his way up to Riffraff in the AM with some of his other friends I'm working on.
FINALLY! A picture of Kirsten and me. The kid and I are together 24/7, but the camera is usually never in sight. So at Strut for a Mutt a few weekends ago we got a snap shot.
And last but certainly not least, my precious little boys! This picture was emailed to me tonight from their Momma. It was taken at their Dad's football game he was coaching earlier in the season. The love I have for these two little guys, and the fun that we have, I can't even put into words. Meet Cooper (L) and Tyler (R). (And please note Tyler's posture. Unbelievable.)
Off to sleep I go! I'm keeping those two little rugrats in the morning, completing some projects, dropping goodies off at the store and preparing for a large weekend of festivities. All in the flood I'm sure.

Have I told you one of my God sent gifts of this year is coming in town, or is already in town? BEYOND EXCITED! I haven't seen Cristin in forever and a day it feels like. She is a true blessing, and basically my twin at heart. Our story is to be posted on a later date along with this weekends highlights.

Night Friends. Stay dry and warm.
