Following the Kirks

Holy cow is all I have to say! Time needs to slow its roll.  How the heck do we have an 8 month old (or since this is so delayed 8 1/2 month old) This little girl is small but definitely fierce. She is one spoiled baby by all she comes in contact with, especially her brother.  That boy adores the heck out of her and it is so adorable!  This month was the first time I left Zoie for longer than a date night. I had to go to San Francisco for a week of work and boy did I miss my little munchkins. If I have to wake up early, I would rather be woken up my crazy kids than breakfast and meetings!  While I was gone she popped a tooth. Shortly after 2 more came! All this within 4 weeks. We quite possibly may have a shark on our hands in no time!  Zoie is a crawling machine and loves the fact that she can go go go wherever it is she wants. She has been pulling herself up on things and learning how to gracefully fall! 😳 She is still such a great sleeper, going to bed aroun...

We usually do something very thematic for who is playing in the super bowl. This year wasn't any different except that we kept it pretty low key. Brandon didn't want to be around a bunch of people with the most important game of the year for him and his team.  I was going to attempt to make some healthy appetizers since we have been eating clean. I wasn't too motivated to cook at all so we snacked on a couple things that were just laying around. The grand finale (for food that is) was our lobster dinner!  We are happy for a Patriots win! Happy husband = happy life ? Hahahaha 

We had a fabulous 3rd birthday celebration for Zeke. The theme was tough to decide on. Zeke's choices were camping, fishing, or baseball. And in typical 2 1/2-3 year old fashion he changed his mind everyday!  We stuck with camping and had a lot of fun doing it!  We welcomed guests with a great big bear.... We placed gifts in the tent that the kids got from Santa this year. Desserts were equally amazingly delicious and beautiful. The food was hot and ready. Tents were popped. Camplike creatures even came for a visit, where The Lizard Wizard taught the kids all about the animals, let them pet all them, and they even got to bathe the turtle, catch frogs, and walk around with snakes crawling on them. It was a huge hit! I feel like 3 is the perfect age to start the fun piñata! The kids were swinging like maniacs and it was too adorable! No camp party is complete without some s'mores toasting.  Zeke is still talking about how much fun his party was! I am so glad he had such...
