Thankful Thursday (a day late) :)




Good Morning All,
Today is Friday! Yes! I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy it to the fullest you can.

Well, yesterday kind of got away from me. It was a busy filled day and I was going to skip the Thankful Thursday post this week but I have so much to be thankful for I just couldn't.

It is hard to limit it to three things that I am thankful for, but here it goes:


  • Today is the last day of school, the kiddos get out of school today and I am looking forward to the summer with them. Their excitement this last week has been infectious and I am reminded of how I felt when I was their age and school was letting out for the summer.

  • I am thankful for employment. For those that do not know yet, I decided to go to work part-time out of the home (for several reasons) but it was a hard choice and one thing I did not want to compromise on was my time with my children and being there for my family. I was blessed with a job that gave me very close to the exact hours I wanted to work and will help me bring income to the family while still being a "stay at home" mom. 

  • I am thankful for Red River Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and ALL of the families/people there. If you read the previous post from earlier this morning you may have saw at the end that I became a blubbering mess at a self defense demonstration that my son participated in last night. It was not pretty...lol. I started to talk about the confidence that jiu jitsu gives to children who have been picked on and bullied and I started off fine, then I had a crack in my voice while talking about Keonte's challenges from earlier this year. After that it was over, the water works started and I could not control them. He has changed in a great way from the 7-8 months that he has been with RRBJJ. I wish you all could be here to see the difference. I do not know where he would be confidence wise right now if we had not enrolled him, but I am so elated at where he is. If it was not for the instructors and the other families and students he would not be so happy being himself right now. Thank you to the whole RRBJJ family. We love you guys.

We woke up this morning to such cool weather! As I went to let the dog out this morning I actually felt a chill. It was so nice! I had to stand out there and just feel the breeze and smell the air. Having had over 100 degree temperatures since April it is so nice to have a glimpse of fall weather. At noon today the temp in the car read 67 degrees! Love it! Fall is my favorite season. It may because my birthday is in the fall, or the changing of the leaves, the crispness of the air, the holidays and family and friends, football season, and oh so many more things that I absolutely adore. Technically we still have 3 weeks but I am going to take advantage of the weather and start some of my annual fall activities. Today we will be baking homemade granola bars and making homemade play dough in fall colors. I bake A LOT in the fall so local friends be ready for lots of goodies. My famous Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, homemade caramel popcorn, and much more...lol. Do not be surprised...

Welcome!

Hello All and Welcome to All Things: Kendrick Family.  I am Sharon and married to my best friend Kevin. We have two kiddos: our son, Keonte, 10 (soon to be 11) and our daughter Cheyanne, 7. So our house is hardly ever dull. I enjoy reading blogs and have been tempted for a couple of years to attempt a blog of my own. A few friends have inspired me to try and well, here we are. I thought of many different topics and subjects to blog about but could not decide on one in particular. We are a non-denominational Christian family with multi racial backgrounds and we have been a homeschooling family for over 7 years but this year we are going to attempt public school. That in itself could be a blog...lol. I am currently undergoing a fitness journey to lose weight and become fit. We are a military family and recently moved to Texas from Las Vegas. I am currently going back to college for myself in an attempt to finish my degree. I enjoy couponing "realistically" not "extreme...
