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!

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...
