Zeke turns 2!

I want to cry a little bit at the fact that my baby is 2! 


This little boy has stolen our hearts! He is hilarious, entertaining, and just the cutest, most lovable (when he wants to be), photogenic person I know.....and he's two! And getting so big! And becoming independent! And ahhhhh I could go on and on about his amazingness, but I'll stop there! If you know him you already know.

Since Zeke's birthday fell on a Saturday this year, we were able to have his party on the same day! So cool, even though he wouldn't be getting multiple celebrations like last year or the years to come. 

This year his birthday theme was construction/Tonka trucks.  To say I started planning early is an understatement. I knew this was going to be the theme to his 2nd birthday before I started planning his first birthday! I know I'm nuts! I started buying stuff last Christmas and haven't stopped. 

Here's a peek at the party and some of the details! I thought it turned out great! 








Zeke just loved having his friends there to celebrate with. A bunch of friends at his house? What more could a kid ask for? He was in heaven.




And one last little peek at the cutest birthday boy.....

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes! 

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...

Fa La La La La La La La La

As soon as Thanksgiving dinner ended, we immediately switched gears to Christmas.  My sister, my cousin and I left at 8:00 at night to get some Black Friday deals!  We left the chitlens with their dads and went on our way.  Toys R Us was brutal but we made it out in one piece. Target looked rough when we first walked in but ended up being very fast with an easy checkout.  Nathan gave up at the Target point and went to the truck to go to sleep......really?!  Kohls was so bad we walked in and walked right back out! Nothing there was worth a 4 hour wait!  The day after Thanksgiving always calls for champagne, Eggs Benedict, waffles, and golfing for the guys. This year we added Christmas decorating to the list.  We had our little elf out from Illinois do we needed to use him to our best ability.  My parent's house was all done by the end of Friday! Wowzers!  They have such a beautiful house that no matter what it will look amazing, but Nathan did...
