TVBWF

The Balloon and Wine Festival is one of the most fun things we look forward to all year. Being that it's in a smaller town, you wouldn't think it's as great as it is. It is a smaller version and cross between Stagecoach, Coachella, and the OC swap meet. 

We get our camping spots and camp out all weekend. This year we rented a trailer, which was the best idea with the heat and a 10 month pregnant mama. 

They had some great artists set. I was really looking forward to being there with a glass of wine or sangria in hand but Zoie still didn't want to come out. 

Friday night the artists were Frankie Ballard and, the most amazing show I've seen put on by, Justin Moore. 

Saturday night was the Gin Blossoms and 3 Doors Down. Besides them saying "God Bless You" after every single song, it was a nice throw back to 8th grade. 

We had a blast! Zeke loved every single bit of it from his new wagon 


To the early morning balloon launch


The balloon glow 


The concerts (he continuously asked to go watch the music)


And definitely the motorcycles on Sunday.


Next year should be just as crazy with two kids in tow and lots of fun to be had!

It's a......

GIRL!!!!!! Yayyyyy! We are having a little baby girl.  I had a feeling since I was sick for the first 4 months that it was either a really big pain in the ass boy or a girl. We went to one of our local gender reveal locations to see if they could tell us what we were having. They said coming in at 13 weeks and 6 days would be no problem.  Unfortunately, the umbilical chord was right in between the legs and the baby was facing my back. They scheduled me for another appointment the next day since we had a gender reveal party planned.  Same story as the night before, they couldn't tell. I scheduled myself another appointment the next day, but started doubting their abilities and getting nervous they wouldn't find out in time for our party.  I called another place and she got me in right away. After 3 trips to the bathroom, 3 glasses of ice cold water, and some jumping around, she found out what it was.   Because we planned on waiting to find out with our friends an...

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...
