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.......

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...

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!
