The Kirks take over NH

Or the other way around!

After our quick trip to NH, I felt slightly dominated.

Let's start with the day before our trip when we were trying to clean out the fridge and finding something to make for dinner was a bit challenging. Well we did it! Mashed potatoes, corn, and chicken. Not bad right? Until the next day.....

Our flight didn't leave until 9PM but both Brandon and I were texting each other all day about our upset stomach rendezvous! Brandon gets home from work and immediately hugs the toilet for an hour. I, on the other hand, was going in and out of feeling good and not.

We managed to make it to the airport and board the plane in one piece.

A little piece of advice: just because your slightly under 2 year old flies free until they are 2 does not mean it is comfortable or feasible! When he was younger it was definitely doable but almost 2 was extremely challenging.

Prepare for landing........or more like me getting sick in a seat with the fasten seatbelt sign on! Yep the remains of our dinner from the night before came out all over me, the plane, and our carry ons! Just glorious!!!

The first day and a half were all about catching up on sleep and mending our food poisoned stomachs! Thankfully Zeke didn't have any of the mashed potatoes that we finally ruled were BAD!

Finally we were all back to normal and having a great time. It was so good to see everyone and introduce Zeke to them! We hadn't been back there since Zeke was born so we had a lot of catching up to do.

We were able to partake in birthday parties, see all the family including my sister in law and her wife all the way from London, enjoy ourselves, and most definitely eat lots of lobsters!

Zeke even got to see the snow fall and play a little bit in it.

Our trip definitely flew by! Until next time......

4th Annual Kirk Klan Ugly Sweater Party

As you can tell by the word annual, this is our Kirk family tradition. We have an ugly sweater party every year for Christmas. We deck out our whole house, garage, ourselves, and have a great time with friends and family. I usually make everything home made with some help from my mom and all her and my grandma's recipes. This year I wanted to make it as simple but still cute as possible. I decided on a chili bar as the main entree. I also delegated everyone that would help to make my favorite chili they make. SCORE! Way less work for me! Muahahahaha! My dad made his tri tip chili, my mom made her white chicken chili, and Brandon made his pulled pork chili. Besides the fact that we always make way too much food, the chili was definitely a hit. Of course the chefs tested everyone on who they thought had the best chili. They are all delicious in my eyes, obviously! I did pitch in a little and made some appetizers and corn bread! Oh and I did all the decorating...

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!

If you're going to San Francisco

(Singing voice)..... Could be scary if you knew how well I sang! Anyways, work sent us to San Francisco for our National Sales meeting so I thought it would be a great chance for me and Brandon to take advantage of one free flight. I was there Monday through Friday and Brandon flew in early Friday afternoon to start and finish the weekend. We are so happy we did this. It was the first time we left Zeke for a weekend for just us!!!! While there for work, we had a couple opportunities to explore the city at night. We decided to go to the Beach Blanket Babylon show. BEST IDEA EVER! If you ever get the chance to go I highly recommend it. It was hilarious, entertaining, relatable to all ages, and pretty incredible with every seat being a great seat. Once the work events were over, Brandon and I switched to a nicer hotel and got to exploring the city. Since Brandon is from New England, we had to get some clam chowder. We also explored Alcatraz, rode the trolley everywhere, w...
