Oh Hey, Friday
Friday is here, the weather is supposed to cool down again, and I plan on rocking some leggings & scarves all weekend! Let's get to my (not so) weekly five; thanks to the two beautiful hosts Karli & Amy!

My friend Heather took this picture of Liam on one of our hikes this week. It's so simple, but I love how he is looking right at her (hard for me to accomplish with a camera) and all the colors behind him!

Last Saturday, Conor took Liam to the aquarium while I was having a massage downtown (I'm a lucky gal)! Anyways, L is obsessed with all the sting rays; there is even a spot where you can touch them). So Conor purchased Liam his own little stuffed sting ray named Steve, and it is love!

An old friend of mine has opened up an etsy shop (littleHEMdesigns) and is selling the most adorable dreamcatcher mobiles! I am obsessed with them! They would be the perfect addition to any nursery or playroom. I think I see one making it's way to Liam's room soon...My friend Heather took this picture of Liam on one of our hikes this week.

I am in need of a new iPhone case and am seriously considering this Kate Spade one! I just love it so much, but fear I would be over it in a hot second!
I received my 2nd Stitch Fix this week but you won't be seeing a post about it, because it was awful! I anxiously waited all month for it, and then womp womp! I was super bummed since I really enjoyed my first fix. I think I'm going to give it another month and hope that this one was just a fluke...

Oktoberfest at Snowbird
The Keenan Family has been so busy lately, that I have barely had time to keep up with all our adventures on the blog! I'm a bit behind, so I am only now talking about our Snowbird getaway that we took 2 weekends ago. We had so much fun at Oktoberfest last year, that we decided to make it an overnight event this time! We rented a condo with two other families and set out for our mini vacation only 30 minutes away...
Everything in Utah is family friendly, so Oktoberfest is no exception! While the adults are sipping their liter steins full of beer, the little ones are in & out of bounce houses and all over the rides! Since we were fresh off our visit to the fair, Liam was pumped for an opportunity to do some more crazy rides with Daddy! While Liam continues to be a just a tad too short for a few things, we still sneak him on somehow. He did a mountain coaster & alpine slide, squealing the whole way down each time!
After we sufficiently wore out the kids, we took them back to the condo where we made a quick dinner for the little ones before heading out for an adults only affair. We loaded them up with popcorn & a movie (Liam was just thrilled to be included with all the older ones), and left the eldest one in charge. Then it was a kid-free fancy dinner for us! I knew Liam was with all his friends and in good hands, so I was truly able to relax & enjoy myself. I love that we are getting more of these opportunities as Liam gets older!

Our Unofficial Start of Fall

A Night at the Fair
My boy loves the fair! L.O.V.E.S. He's all about the animals; we spent hours looking over every chicken, turkey, bunny (floppy ears are the best), cow (even pet a baby), pig, sheep, and all other farm animals that you can find at the fair. He has a tender heart and a soft spot for anything that he can possibly pet. And he wants to pet everything!
He also pretty fond of the rides! He is our official ticket holder and takes that job very seriously. He has a fearless side and is willing to try anything. He flew a helicopter, drove a monster truck, & even snuck onto the roller coaster that he was a couple inches short for! His crazy scream & wild smile were so contagious! My Liam is definitely a thrill seeker.

We ended our night with a treat! Caramel apples are my favorite fair food and seemed like a slightly healthy option to share with Liam; however, L just ate all that caramel right off and left me with the apple. That sweet tooth comes straight from me! We then danced to some live music and stayed as long as Liam's little legs would hold up.
As we were walking out through the gates, Liam gave us a huge smile and said "the fair is fun!"
Yes little boy, the fair is fun.
Just a few brief words that made the whole night that much more incredible!
I already can't wait 'til next year!

It's the Little Things
...like date night!
This is something that Conor & I so rarely do, which makes it even more special. I love any occasion to throw on a short dress (that is neither toddler nor nursing friendly) and a pair of heels!
Last Thursday, we went to La Caille for the first time. It is this beautiful french restaurant tucked into the base of the mountains. It sits on 20 beautiful acres of vineyards, orchards, & ponds. We strolled through the grounds after dinner and soaked up every last minute of "us" time. It truly felt like a little getaway, even though we were only about 15 minutes from home.

Oh Hey, Friday
We have no plans for this weekend, and sometimes those are the best kind of weekends. Football season is here (yay for the Seahawks win last night), so I see a few games & some house projects in our future. We also might do another last minute camping trip on Saturday night. We'll see how the weather pans out and if we have the energy for it! Here's my weekly five; thanks to the two beautiful hosts Karli & Amy!

September is here, so it's time for a desktop wallpaper update. This one is my favorite.

The Utah state fair started yesterday, so we will be planning a visit soon. Maybe even tonight; I believe the fair is best experienced at night!

I have a hair appointment today, and I'm thinking about changing things up! Just ever so slightly though. I've been rocking the exact same hair for a good 4+ years now... My natural color seems to be getting darker & darker with age, so I'm considering going "bronde". This photo is my inspiration; we'll see if I actually go through with it. I get so nervous to do things differently!September is here, so it's time for a desktop wallpaper update. This one is my favorite.

I have been very very slowly, like S. L. O. W. L. Y. updating Liam's nursery to be more of a big kid room. I want to take down a few of his newborn photos, and instead add some artwork. I love the idea of adding some maps to his room, so I'm been looking for some of Seattle (Liam's birthplace). I love this watercolor one, but it's not exactly the colors I'm looking for. Maybe we'll use this in a bathroom...
I saw this on Instagram last week and thought it was absolutely hilarious!

Backpackin' It In
Sleeping bags were cozy. Silence was embraced. Sleep was minimal. Sunrise was beautiful.
Bags were repacked. Shoulders were sore.
Memories were made.
