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!

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...

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...

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...
