Weekend Shenangian's

Happy Monday Ladies and Gents.!

Ha,, Should I Say Happy.

I mean it is Monday, after all.

Anyways,, I hope you all had a good weekend!

Mine was, well kinda of boring.

With that said, Lets link up with Sami for Weekend Shenanigans.

Every October rolls around and that means its Marathon time for St. George.

I hate the Marathon though, because it traps me at home until like 12-1 or later in the afternoon.

I always feel like I have so much stuff to do on the weekend the Marathon is in town too.

But,, it brings a huge amount of money to our city and so I cant complain about the amount of help it does for our economy here in Southern Utah.

So while I was stuck at home in the morning, I finished a majority of the projects I have planned for the baby shower I am hosting this weekend. Then off to work, Ashlynne's Birthday Party, and dinner with Kati and Levi.

Sunday Kati and I had some breakfast, ran few errands together, did a little shopping.

The morning have been a bit brisk. It was so nice to finally be able to wear my new beanie.

I got them from Forever 21 and I am in love.

I finished off the day with some dinner/lunch with the bro and Ashton.

Then home to Nip/Tuck, which I have been obsessed with lately.

 

All in All.. Boring Weekend

Oh well this weekend is full of events and excitement.

So hurry up week and end,

So I can go fishing and eat yummy food at the shower!

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday

Much Love, Kenzie.

I have been addicted to this song ever since it streamed across the radio and hit my soul. I melted. Loved it! Who couldn’t though, honestly.. with Lyrics like this

Back when that song was a song
I could sing along without thinkin bout you every time it came on
Every beat, every line, every word, every time
When a road was a road
I could roll on through without wishin that empty seat was you
Money was gas, dreams were dust
Love was fast and we were us

& Keith with Miranda’s voice together,, pure harmony.

-two­-

 I love when all the fall flavors come on to the menu at Starbucks. Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel,, who wouldn’t fall in love with fall with a single taste on your lips.

-three-

Tuesday was a celebration of 20 years for Levi. It is still so hard to believe that my little brother, who isn’t so little anymore, is 20 years old. Man that makes me feel old.! We celebrated with the family on Wednesday night in Mesquite, NV at Katherine's. Seriously an amazing restaurant.

-four-

Halloween is in T-Minus 27 days. What is the world am I going to be..? Possibly Shutterbug (aka Quinn) from One Tree Hill.. She is one hot superhero.! You know its true!

-five-

With Halloween right around the corner and Thanksgiving not further behind.. I can’t help but get excited for all the adorable nail ideas I am seeing on Pinterest. It’s sad how excited they get me.



Fall is in the Air..

Happy Hump Day,, Everybody.!

I am so excited that it is Wednesday,, because two days down in the week and a couple more till Friday.! Which always excites the soul.! You can’t deny that it doesn’t excite your soul at least a little too.!

This is the first time that I am linking up with Shanna for Random Wednesday and I won’t lie, I am kind of excited to do it. I love just random blog posts that are about a bunch of rambling nonsense.. & please bear with me if I start rambling like an old lady in church.

Anywayysss,,

Lets talk about David today;

David is one of my best friends

He is an avid hunter

He takes amazing photos.

plain & simple.

 The Salt Lake Valley has been hit with fall,, and I am jealous. You will understand why too. Look at these amazing photos that David captured within the last little while.

 

 

 

 

So there you have it folks,,

Now you understand the jealous I am having within me right this second

I love fall, I love the change of leaves, I love the brisk morning air, I love pumpkins, I love Halloween, I love scarecrows, I love the beauty that fall brings to this world.

Happy Wednesday Everyone,,

Much Love, Kenzie.

20 Already,,, No Way.!

Happy Birthday Levi,

This is my not so little brother, everyone. I have to be the luckiest sister in the world to have been blessed with this little turd. We are each other’s best friends, partners in crime, sidekicks, and protectors. We may have not always been like this, cause hello we were terrors to each other growing up. Seriously though, in all truth, we would do anything for each other.

There are times in my life where I never thought you would make it to the age of 20; admit it, you’re walking accident waiting to happen. I am so glad though, because you have made me laugh more over the years, then a lot of other people combined. I will never forget the times of waking up in the middle of the night to you sleep talking in the other room. The times you sneak up on me and scare the living crap out of me, or when you thought it would be funny to put a live mouse in my face with pliers. Looking through old photos and coming across you in panty hose, still give me the best laugh of them all..! Boy, you keep me on my toes.

I love you dearly though. I wouldn’t have our relationship be any other way. I know you get mad at me for always wanting pictures. Look now though, I have so many with such vivid fun memories attached along the side of each and every one.  Words will never describe how much I love you and appreciate all the wonderful things you do for me. All I can say, thank you a hundred times over and I love you to itty bitty pieces.

Love always,

Your Big Sister

Color Me Rad

Mondayyy,, Already.???

I didn't want to even look at you today. I am tired, are you sure we can't have just one more day.?

Anyways,, my weekend.

I volunteered along side of Kati’s work at the Color Me Rad 5K this past Saturday. Who know throwing colored cornstarch at people could be so much fun and such a good workout? I am still sore from doing the 2 hours of continual squats while getting the color from the box to the runners clothing. It was so much fun though; so many laughs that day.

If you want more information on Color Me Rad, Click Here.

Today is the last day of Blogtember,

Monday, September 30: Share a photo of something old. Maybe something that has personal history for you, that was passed down to you, and that has special meaning to you. Tell us about it and why it's special.

I treasure all the old pictures that my parents took while growing up. To me there is just something special about all the memories that are enclosed within one single picture.

Finallyyy Fridayyy

Dear Friday: I am so happy you’re here. This week has been a whirlwind of long days and tiring hours. I never though I would be this tired running after a toddler all day for 3 days in a row. But, man I am pooped. Dear Fall: You are in the air and I am loving it. I love fall, it has to be one of my absolute favorite season. Something about the leaves changing, air cooling down, hot cocoa in hand, pumpkin spice lattes at starbuck’s, and the fact that I can boots almost everyday. I am in love with you and I am so happy your finally making your presence. Dear Starbucks: You are draining my pocket book these last few weeks, because I simply cant resist your delicious fall drinks. We have a much love hate relationship right now. Dear Kati: Color Me Rad is tomorrow,,, and I am pumped up! Can’t wait to help you out with the booth. It is going to be so much fun, even though it will be freezing outside. I am super excited.! Dear FB Friends: As a part of blogtemeber I am supposed to write a little letter to you. So this is what I have to say. I really cant stand all the drama about your lives that you post. I mean be cruel, but I think it is very unnecessary to post constantly about all the crap you and your other half are going through, or if you hate some girl at school, or blah blah blah. I use facebook to keep updated with my family and I think it is time for a deep clean of friends and cut out all the crappy drama of FB. 

we have all been there

Today on Blogtember:

Wednesday, September 25: Write about a time you screwed up - a mistake you made. 

We have all been there a time or two, when we want to kick ourselves for the decisions we just made. Then again, if we hadn't made it and learn from it; where would we be in life.? Mistakes in my eyes are all about the after affect, learning and moving on. I decided that I am not going to go into detail about mistakes I have made, because I have learned from them and I have moved on. I am not perfect and I know I never will be. There for, I will make mistakes and I will continue to learn from them.

I have been staring at this computer with nothing but writers block for way too long now. I would continue with today’s post on blogtember, Tuesday, September 24: Review a book, place, or product. Sadly though, I have nothing that I can think of to review. I haven’t read a good book lately, and writing about a bad one isn’t worth it to me. Review a place, nothing comes to mind. I could talk about the place I have been to eat at, or the parks I have seen, then again it would just be constant repeat of other posts. I go to the same places all the time. Product, I mean I guess I could do that…. I could tell you the mascara I love or the hairspray I use day after day. Then it hit me.. I am going to tell you about the two people and the service I get most excited to see; my nail tech and my hairstylist.

I have been seeing Lisa Thompson for quite a few months now. I heard about her from Kati my best friend. I was at the point where I didn’t want acrylic nails anymore and had had them off for a couple of months. I really hated having plain nails though and shellac didn’t work for me. So after finding Lisa; I was hooked. She works inside of Salon Khroma here in St. George. She is fun, bubbly, and really does a great job. Here are just a few of my favorite nails recently.

  

Salon Khroma is rated #1 here in Southern Utah and after a few nail appointment the stylist start to get to know you and talk with you. I had asked a few of the girls there about my hair and the things that I have become used to with my last hair stylist before I moved back to St. George. I love my hairstylist in North Dakota because she knew exactly how my hair reacted and the way she cut it always looked amazing for my face. Long story short, I booked an appointment with Spencer and I haven’t been disappointed since. I moved to Utah with really dark dark hair and we have slowly been going back to a brighter lighter blonde. I am loving the cuts and colors I get each time.

 

If you want any of the information for the two amazing people about,

just leave me a comment and I will send the information your way.

Hope everyone has a splendid day..

much love, kenzie

Life as of Lately.

Hello Monday,,

I don't know if I would say I am happy to see you,, or not.

This weekend was such a blast, I didn't want it to end.

and now it is over.. kind of sad.

but it was absolutely amazing,, if I say so myself.

Florida Georgia Line, Thompson Square, and Luke Bryan.

Ahhmazzing.

Here is just a few pictures from the night.

Now For BLOGTEMBER

Monday, September 23:

A "life lately" post. What you're up to, how you're feeling, how you're doing on your goals, etc.

Bonus points for great photos!

 

Life Lately..

Honestly, has been amazing, adventurous, spontaneous, fun, and memorable.

I am finally in a spot where I have come to terms with everything that has happened in my life and I am ready to move forward with a bright and promising future. I am so blessed to have my family and friends so close to me and involved in so much of my life. I am so grateful for the trial I have been given and have overcome. I believe I am such a strong woman now due to it; I know what I want and I am not afraid to go after it. It has been said before “Everything happens for a reason” and I can honestly say, I believe in this saying 110%.

I have so many fun adventures lately; I can’t even believe that I have had them all.

I want to share a few of my favorite ones with all of you.

 Luke Bryan concert this past weekend.

 Selfie from Thursday. Loving my hair.

 All the days we have spent at the lake.

 Spending My Birthday in Vegas with My Bestie.

 Mandalay Bay was the perfect spot for my birthday celebration.

 Summer fun was: Nights under the stars, Dinner Dates, and Lake Weekends. 

Tuachan Shows.

This one was Thoroughly Modern Millie.

 The best part of my summer,, getting to spend it all with this beauty.

isn't my best friend the hottest?

  I love being so close with my brother, we do so many things together

and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Getting to spend the amount of time we have with Torie this past year,

has been the best time of all. I love having my sister in my life.

and I love the crazy/fun adventures we always have together.

What is YOUR comfort.?

Friday, September 20: React to this term: comfort. 

comfort like:

you favorite pair of shoes

a blanket, a fire, and hot coco

secure arms wrapped around you

your favorite comfort food

surrounded by your family and/or friends

I find comfort in those around me when I am insecure.

I find comfort that there is always tomorrow.

I find comfort knowing that everything happens for a reason.

I find comfort in smiling and laughing.

I find comfort in my blankie.

I find comfort with in my family and friends.

I find comfort because I know "he" has a plan for me.
