She loved her babies

A memory by your Nai Nai

When Kenzlei was young she was very use to people telling her how adorable and pretty she was every time we went anywhere...she was so use to it, she actually expected it....one day when leaving the laundry mat I noticed a mad look on Kenzlei's face...when I asked her what was wrong she said, "that woman wasn't very nice.." I asked why she said that...her response was, "well, she didn't tell me I was pretty or anything!"..to me that was a slap to my forehead moment before I cracked up. I was reminded of that story today when I took Eva (your moms little dog) to Home Depot with me...her favorite place...of course every person in the store that sees her has to pet and talk to her and she just eats it up....then there was a man that was talking to her and with her tail wagging and ready to lick him to death he chose not to pet her, but just talk to her....this was more than she could handle so she decided to growl at him....(defiantly not her normal) I quickly pushed her away embarrassed...but after that I just couldn't help but think of Kenzlei and the laundry mat lady.

More favorite things

When your mom was little, I used to make her broccoli and cheese rice, and I know she sometimes used to eat it for breakfast.

Signature

I thought you may want to know what your mom's signature looked like.

Favorite foods

Your mom's favorite food was chicken and dumplings and chicken  tenders, chicken and cheese biscuits, butter pecan ice cream, she loved pumpkin flavoring in anything...when she younger and stayed all night with me she loved eating my grilled cheese sandwhiches...she liked ranch doritoes and honey mustard pretzels..she loved cottage cheese on her salads.

The Love of Books.

You mother had 107 pins on Pinterset just talking about books she was an avid reader.

 

Some of the books she pinned was :

 

The Kite Runner   by Khaled Hosseini  her comments about this book were : " I can read this over and over."  

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins  her comments about this book were : "One of the best books I have ever read." 

Gone for Good by Harlan Coben her comments about this book were : "Favorite Author!"

 

The Help by Kathryn Stockett  her comments about this book were : "great book."

She would be very happy if you loved to read too!

A little about your mom.

I found this on an on-line forum personal profile:

Five things I can't live without:

Food

Family events

This is the going away picnic that we held when your Poppy left for military duty. I was very lucky to have capture this 4 Generation picture of Kealy, Kim and Kenzlei and your great grandmother Nanny. This took place 2 days after Kealy was born. Your mother would not have missed this for anything.

So I have the most amazing husband that works his butt off for his family and can't believe in August we have been married 8 yrs!! We look around us at our friends though and lots have either jumped from person to person or have been divorced and or are on Drugs. I'm so thankful I have a great husband that loves his family and is not into drugs and just focuses on his family and has his priorities right. It would just be nice to find friends that have a family and that weren't on drugs to do stuff with.

Busy day

I thought this was a good reflection of how busy her days were and she would push herself beyond measure to get stuff done for her family.

What is important in life

Your mother Kenzlei understood what was important in life ..on her facebook post from
January 31, 2012 She shared a story about how poor people live.

One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad.” “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked. “Oh yeah,” said the son. “So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father. The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.” The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

"although worrying and been stressing over these puppies and bottle feeding them is rough I love loving on them and watching them play I would so keep them all if I could."

 

Accepting others.

She had this uncanny ability to accept people the way they are...She never tried to change them...Everyone who knew her loved her and always said she was a good friend.

 

This was one of Kenzlei post on facebook
