The BIG 3

I seriously seriously seriously cannot believe we have a three year old. It really does seem like just yesterday we were sitting in the hospital wondering when he was going to come after 10 days of hospitalized bed rest. 


I want to cry just thinking about how much he has grown, how much he has learned, how big he is, what a little crazy butt he is, but also how freaking adorable and funny he is. 

Zeke is slightly obsessed with the movie The Sandlot.

He loves anything and everything sports. He got a basketball hoop from my parents for his birthday. He got himself set up for his first tball season from daddy and his Uncle Chase with a bat, a glove, and balls. Since I told everyone he loves sports I am pretty sure he is set with every other sport like soccer, golf, race cars, snowboarding, volleyball.....you name it, he already loves it and can't wait to play it.


We are working on getting him in his own room all night. We put a TV in there and are hoping to keep him in there with that. Only time will tell!

He is super smart. A couple months ago he was working on writing his name. He is learning how to express his feelings, which is sometimes hard to swallow, like "mommy, I don't like when you say bad words" :( bad mommy! 


He is making friends left and right.

The all time best cuddler, sweetest little kiss monster, and gives the tightest hugs.


 SLOW DOWN PLEASE!!!!!!!!! 

Thank you to everyone who drove here, flew out, called, texted, FaceTimed, and made it to Zeke's birthday party! I truly think it was one of his favorite days. It was a blast and thank you all again! Cheers to what I think is going to be the craziest year yet......the big 3! We love you times infinity Zeke butt Kirk!

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!
