Celebrating Fall

This month kicked off the Fall season.....and we took full advantage of it and did so many fun Fall activities. 

Pumpkin patches:


Zeke's favorite word by far is definitely "punkin" so him being at a pumpkin patch was by far the highlight of his month.  The farm we went to had a family night so we gathered some friends and headed out! Pony rides, petting zoo, "punkins", train rides, and even a corn maze.....done and done!!!! 

Apple picking:


Every year we head out to the local apple county with a couple families, choose a farm, and get a pickin! For some reason, my genius self decided to find other options than where we went last year! Obviously, that was not a great idea. Not only did we spend triple from last year, but there were almost NO apples! The pears were delicious and abundant. Like I said, apples were far from that! They had 3 different types and right before we left we found a couple trees in the parking lot where we not only filled up our bags, but also filled up our wagon! The kids hid them on the way out by sitting on them......Oops! 


Pumpkin carving:

Since Zeke is still a little too young to carve a "punkin" without our help, we gave him some paint and a pumpkin and let him go to town! It turned out really good and he loves painting so that was a SUCCESS! 


Brandon, of course, chose the biggest pumpkin at the patch! So off he went to carving that sucker. Being that Game 6 of the World Series was playing the night we carved our pumpkins can you guess what he carved???? A Boston Red Sox bearded player! I thought it turned out ok.


We drilled some holes into Zeke's "punkin" so it would light up the night! 


Last but not least, Halloween:

Any holiday at daycare = fun Pinterest idea treats! Here's what we brought! So so so so so easy and still pretty cute!


The cutest part of this post (drumroll please)...........

Arrrrrrr


Zeke was a pirate!

Happy November! This day definitely kicks off the holiday season and us Kirks are more than thrilled about that!

Here comes....

Peter cotton tail..... Or the Easter Bunny! If you can't tell from this picture Zoie doesn't exactly love the Easter Bunny....yet! It took Zeke until he was 2 to really warm up to him, but we still have to convince him a little!  Easter is always a fun holiday for our family. My mom and dad host at their pool house and my sister, her family, and our family all get together for fun, food, water, egg hunts, egg coloring, easter baskets and so much more.  Such a great time had by all and the picture of my dad with all his grandkids is just epic!

Baby Zoie and Mama's Baby Shower

This weekend was just fabulous! My mom threw an amazing and all out baby shower for this already spoiled baby girl in my belly!  When we first thought about the theme of the shower, we thought it would only be fitting to go along with the room theme which is very light pastel colors inspired by a couple vintage Barbie pictures I found (more on that later). After much deliberation, we decided to go with a more bold vintage Barbie theme with the colors being black, pink and white with a lot of Barbie silhouettes.  After a million trips to Target, Home Goods, Ikea, Etsy, Tai Pan, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby we had a nice stock pile to start the decorating and planning.  My mom decided to pretty much redecorate her house from floor to ceiling starting with drapery.  She switched out her current drapes for some black and white striped fabric. You would not believe how great the fabric looked without even being sewed!!!! They looked like they belonged.  She also changed...

How is it even possible?

My baby girl is going to be ONE in a month!!!!!! Ahhhhh. I haven't been in as much awe as I am with the turn of 11 months. The turn calls for crazy days with  a walking baby, lots of party planning, transitions, but always a ton of fun while keeping this mama on her toes!  Yes, like I said, Zoie has officially started walking.  Baby walking is seriously so funny to watch. It's like they waddle and have no concept of bending either their knees or ankles. When she gets super excited she starts to run and it's so cute!   We are starting to transition her to whole milk. I have a feeling it will be rough since we discovered early on that she was protein and soy sensitive, but here goes nothing....  This little girl first of ours is getting into EVERYTHING and learning so much. I just love watching her grow, love on her brother and daddy, and just be so full of fun and laughter!
