And so it begins...

I don't even want to think about it.....please just let her stay little forever! AHHH!!! 

A couple Sundays ago at church THIS little boy below stole a kiss from my baby girl!


Braulio was holding her....and at first I didn't realize what was happening! The little boy was standing on the bench in front of us and he just grabbed Kirra's face with both hands and planted one right on her! Kirra gave him a look of shock and a the dirtiest look I've ever seen! Her look said "what in the world did you just do to me?!" Seriously though, she looked really shocked and didn't know what to think. lol

Oh....and she is just the little flirt herself! Anytime she sees little boys she just starts babbling away...trying to get their attention. It happened at church again today....this time we were all sitting on the same bench and this little boy kept coming over and touching her feet and looking at her. Kirra just looked right on back and started talking to him.  Even this boy's older brother was flirting with her! 

Braulio is most definitely going to need to have his shotguns ready.....cuz I am not prepared for this yet! I swear...everywhere we go everybody tells us how beautiful she is...and its true...she IS beautiful...Its not like I'm her mother and have a biased opinion or anything. I went to biolife one day and took her into the day care...and there was this boy probably 5 years old and he just sat there next to me and asked me what her name was and just kept repeating over and over "She is SO cute!" I'm not kidding one bit. 

But seriously....just look at those eyes....I guess you just can't resist to take in the beauty!

Date Night

Braulio took me out on a date the other night and it was so nice to get out just the two of us. Its really been a long time since we have gone out just us two and I really enjoy it when we get to spend time together like that. 



We went up on one of the St. George Hills and looked at the city lights and the went to a movie afterwards. Good times! :)

I finished it!!!

I'm so excited!! I finished Kirra's baby blanket today!!! I had to start over a few times because I couldn't get my edges straight, but I finally figured it out and now its done!! So happy! :) 

Here is the finished product!




I wasn't sure about the green and pink border at first, but once I finished it I ended up really liking it. Wasn't sure if it was really going to go with the purple and pink. The blanket itself was pretty quick and easy once I got it down....if you want to learn how to do it go here.

Then the border I was just going to do something really simple, but the lady that makes the youtube videos explains it so well and makes it pretty easy! Go here if you want to learn how to do the border. That is the first of 4 videos. I also didn't do the ribbon part which is really pretty but you have to sew it down and I don't like to sew much....lol. But she has a lot of different videos for different things.

I'm going to start making other things now because I really enjoy crocheting. Plus I am now going to make it tradition and make a baby blanket for all of my future babies. After they get here of course. :)

Lake Powell Fun Time

Last weekend we decided to go to Lake Powell. It was a good way to end our summer I suppose...and its a good thing we went when we did....cuz now it is cold.... :( and last weekend was perfect....all except for a little storm.

Braulio and my dad went to go find a place to camp on the jet skis then came back to get me and Kirra. Braulio, Kirra, and I road on one jet ski while my dad drove the house boat to the spot they found. I was scared to death to take Kirra on the jet ski, I held onto her with my life. The life jacket consumed her....I think she could barely move...lol. But she didn't really try....she was so tired she the poor little thing fell asleep on the way there.  I really don't know how she could have fallen asleep with that thing on though...she looked so uncomfortable!


The life jacket consuming my child.

Here are Kirra's first moments experiencing sand...


She was so cute playing in the sand for her first time....she didn't dare crawl in it, and of course she kept trying to eat it....so we let her eat just a little bit and of course was disgusted by it so she quit trying....lol


Cute pictures with Gramps


The water was so cold she didn't really like it. She would start crying every time I dangled her feet. So I sat with her on the sand and eventually put her in her floaty and she gradually got used to it...and started splashing and playing with her little water toys.

We had a lot of fun...I love Lake Powell....when I was a kid we would go every summer. There almost always is a random storm though.  They are so sudden! Its so beautiful and sunny and then out of nowhere a black cloud comes out of the sky and it gets super windy. I think I have become excessively worried all the time because of my cute little dad who is so care free. Almost every time something crazy happens to us at Lake Powell. 

When the storm hit luckily my dad had tied the jet skis to the house boat....and we were anchored, but not tightly cuz the house boat turned sideways and we were rocking a lot...lol. We had all our bedding up top I had to go up there and lay on everything and hold it so it wouldn't blow away, then we brougt it all down. I seriously hate the wind though....and I get so nervous being on the water during a storm. The weather said it was only supposed to last a couple hours but the wind kept coming and going....we didn't get much sleep anyway because Kirra wasn't sleeping good. Other than that we had a good time! :)

Here is a random picture of my dad....his shirt blue off the boat in the storm, he found it the next morning on the bottom of the lake...lol


I wish I would have taken some pictures but on saturday when we were getting ready to leave a HUGE  houseboat parked by us. I don't think I've seen a bigger houseboat! It had 3 decks....the guy gave us a tour and told us it cost around a million!!! Can you believe that?! That is craziness! They had it custom built. I can't imagine how his real house looks like or how much that cost! Very much craziness!
