Is anyone else excited for Halloween? Jake and I have already been prepping for the holiday as you can see above :)  We were so excited to decorate the house and wear orange, we couldn't resist starting the season early! Plus, October is only a few days away...  

 My neighbors probably think I'm a crazy person because I'm always decorating for the holidays as soon as possible!  As soon as Fall time is announced, the Halloween decor is out!  As soon as Thanksgiving Dinner is over, I am putting up the Christmas stockings! I love holidays and all the fun treats and decor that come with it!  This is only our second Halloween in our house so I find I am still searching for the perfect spots to decorate the house!

Jake and I were recently at Walmart and of course got stuck in the candy aisle!   I am such a sucker for holiday themed candy!  I love how the candy comes in mini sizes and sometimes even pumpkin shapes!  I saw these Nestle Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups and had to try them!  I love peanut butter and chocolate and the square shape just looked fun, so I had to buy them!  I also am a fan of Butterfingers though!  This year I have been wanting to build the perfect candy bowl and know I must include some Butterfingers!

Every year, I always buy Halloween candy early, and by the time trick or treaters come around, I have to buy more because I ate it all! haha I have a big sweet tooth!  This year I am thinking, I will just have to test out all my favorite candies and then go back to Walmart to buy more of our favorites to share!

With Halloween being my favorite holiday, Jake and I like to celebrate all month long!  We celebrate all month long by decorating the house at the beginning of October, going to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and go on a hayride, carving pumpkins, eating at Jdawgs and getting an orange hot dog bun, taking a trip to California to go to Mickeys Halloween Party, and ending the month passing out candy to our cute neighbors!  And of course, we love to wear orange and black whenever we can!

We just finished our lawn and landscaping, so this year I want to sit on the porch and hand out candy!  I am hoping the weather won't be too cold to sit outside!

Do you have any fun Halloween traditions or any Nestle treats you love to include in your candy bowl? 

Todays blog post photos above were taken by the amazing McKenzie of Photography by McKenzie!  She was so amazing to work with and so fun to take photos with!  Jake and I were able to take another fun photo session with her and cant wait to share those photos with you in the near future!

Washington DC Zoo

I have a million posts I have been meaning to get to and never have.... Example this one! These pictures were taken from last time Jake and I were in Washington DC during the Cherry Blossom Festival.  It was quite chilly when we were there so we were bundled up in big coats!  I guess being in DC right now made me think about the Zoo and get this post finished!  I always love going to the zoo and seeing the super cool animals! If you are wanting to see more cute animals from the Washington DC Zoo, here is a link to a post and fun little video of the animals from the last time we were there :)

If you want to see our adventures going on currently right now in DC, make sure to check out our Instagram to join the fun! (Jakes Instagram, Kelseys Instagram) Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a fantastic day! Its almost the weekend :)

I was recently going through old photos and found a fun snowy photo shoot Jake and I did in last year and made me get excited for fall/ winter to come!  Todays wish lists are inspired by snowy wishes!

How rad are those ear muffs? I need to pick me up a pair of those for this winter!  I have found living in a cold state, I have to mentally prepare, and shop before the seasons come or the items I want will be sold out!  I know it won't snow for a few months...hopefully, but I want to make sure I buy early this year to be prepared when the snow hits!  I am excited for it to start getting a little colder around here and throw on some fun layers!

A few weeks ago Jake and I got to go on a fun Saturday adventure to The Bonneville Salt Flats.  It was a long drive, but we had fun eating beef jerky and listening to music!  I am surprised we got any pictures while we were there because it was so windy out!  The bottom of my skirt was in my face most of the time we were there! haha  

I was so glad Jake and I both wore our Palladium Boots!  That morning it had rained and so the salt was wet and flying up everywhere!  It sure made it fun and messy!  We were running around, stomping in puddles and were so happy to be wearing boots!

We hung out at the salt flats for a few hours exploring and trying out the new app by instagram called Hyperlapse!  It was funny experimenting with it.  We tried some videos of us running in slow motion and then speeding the video up and we looked like apes running around or scouring for food :)  It was pretty fun to try out the app.  Here is a little video below from our adventure.

This weekend Jake and I spent it packing and getting ready for an upcoming trip! Jake and I are on some fun adventures this week in Washington DC! One of our all time favorite places to travel to! I can't wait to eat some amazing food, especially CUPCAKES! And go visit some fun monuments!  We have not been to DC since earlier this year when we went to see the Cherry Blossoms, so I am excited to go back! 

We also have some fun collaborations with Palladium Boots to do in DC and we can't wait to take some fun pictures and share them with you all!

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend!  I recently got this pink and gold brocade dress at Shabby Apple and have been so excited to wear it!  I was a little sad the fit was a little tuff for my body type but I loved the print and the fun shoulder detail, I had to keep the dress anyways!  I always love when I can find a dress with a fun and unique printed fabric!  Plus, I love hot pink and gold, so the two together was a win, win for me!  I cant wait to wear this dress to a fun event!  If you are looking for a cute new dress, make sure to head on over to Shabby Apple! They have tons of cute designs! You wont be disappointed.

Jake is wearing the cutest cuff links ever today!  Maybe because we are both partial to turtles since we have both been turtle parents for 5 years, but we love the cute little turtle cuff links!  Jake got them at Weekend Casual!  They also have other cute little animal cuff links that we loved!  If you are looking for some great gift ideas for your man, or yourself, make sure to go to Weekend Casual and get 25% off with code: WCKELSEY.
