Ay Ay Ay

Hola! Como estas? 

Sorry I must have spent too much time practicing my Spanish while we were in Mexico! 

Yes, our crazy selves decided to take a leap of faith and take a week long Mexican vacation WITH the kids! 

Although it was extremely hot and humid we lived it up, had a great, time, showed the newbies on the trip the ropes, and really enjoyed ourselves. 

We got pretty much everything in that we wanted: 

Mango Deck - we hung out here all day. Zeke played in the waves and built sand castles while we drank, ate, bought cool stuff, and watched the competitions. Zoie slept in the stroller and we figured out a way to keep her cool......dump an Adan and Anis blanket in the bucket of beer ice water and tie it around her head and cuddle with it. What a success 


Shamu slide - while most people go back to their hotel room for a nap before a night out or dinner, we spent our time at the pool until dusk swimming and going down the shamu slide they have at our resort. Zeke was so in love with this slide and the speed it put off was ridiculous. 


Giggling Marlin - this place is famous for their upside down shots. They hoist you up by your feet and give you three shots! After I did it, I thought everyone else including Zeke would, but I was the only true champ here! 


Marina Dinners - we spent 3 night down at the beautiful marina for some delicious food! We went to a DDD suggestion, had a lot of sushi, and one night both kids were asleep and not having the be held by one of us (more on traveling with kids on another post)



Snorkeling - the snorkeling tours are always a blast both on and off the boat. This time we chose a more kid friendly boat since we were able to bring Zoie and needed some shade. Drinks were flowing, food was great, snorkeling was fun, and Zoie stayed cooler than most days! 



Swing Bar - we tried out the new swing bar they have in town. They have swings as barstools! Pretty cool idea. We didn't sit at the bar but got some chairs to relax on the beach. 


We entertained ourselves AND the kids at the same time. WIN-WIN! A lady on the plane told me once both kids have opinions it gets even harder.......

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!

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...

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 al...
