Stay A Little Longer Summer!

So the other day we bought Kirra this little inflatable pool that was on sale at target since summer is coming to an end. :( Boo for upcoming cold season! So I put it together today and took Kirra swimming in our little back yard. 

Its so cute! I love it! Unfortunately we don't have a faucet outside because you can hook up a hose to that little orange thing under her hand and it will spray water into the little hippo pool. So fun!

She had fun though, she was crawling around, playing with her toys, and splashing the water. So cute! :)

Here is a cute picture of Kirra and daddy watching tv together.

Smile for the camera!

Couple more super cute pictures...

...and then we have Kirra's first attempt to bite me...

Don't mind that I look hideous in this movie....obviously was having a lazy day....oh wait...I have quite a few of those....anyway she was very hungry and was very tired....and very sick of waiting for me to go feed her her bananas! 

I didn't understand what she was doing at first....because I would kiss her then she would go at me open mouthed like she was trying to kiss me back....but she was screaming. She hasn't quite learned how to bite yet....she just kept going at my face open mouthed and screaming. lol. I felt her teeth on my cheek a little bit once and thats when I think I realized she really was trying to bite me. I thought how could my sweet little 7 month old be throwing a tantrum and trying to bite me already! 

She is still super cute and luckily she is still a mommas girl...even though I make her mad sometimes. I'm so not excited for when she is 2 and starts the real tantrums! :)

A Little Squid Please...

Apparently Kirra is afraid of squid.....

Many Moons

So it has been many moons.....many long moons since I have written, so here I shall attempt to cover the last year minus 1 month. :)
So it pretty much will be all be about our beautiful little girl 

Kirra Skye Argueta

February 12th, 2011

7 months ago today our precious baby girl came into this world!

Proud Daddy!

Sticking her tongue out since day one! lol

She weighed 7 lbs 9 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long.

Coming home from the hospital

Can't believe how tiny she used to be!!!

Started smiling at 2 weeks....

and it was not just a one time kind of thing!! :)

Our cutie pie at 1 month

2 months

3 months

We drove to Texas and back....she used to like the car....she really hates it now....lol
4 months

She is a very fast learner and very determined, she accidentally rolled over from belly to back on June 19th, then from back to belly on June 29th

She scooted her first time on June 28th....only 4 1/2 months old...and a few days after this video she was already going across the room 5 or 6 feet!

She likes her taggy blanket....or rather "licks" it a lot. :)

5 months old....family pics. :)

If you look really really close on the picture above you can see her first tooth! First came in on July 25th

6 months old

On Aug 14 she sat up from laying down all by herself, and then on Aug 19 she started to climb things....Aug 26th she climbed things like....stairs. On Aug 30th you could see her 2nd tooth starting to come in.

She loves bath time....she really does....but HATES the part where I put the towel hoodie on her head...lol. She was very angry in this picture. She bites her own fingers when she is mad.

Our beautiful Kirra Mamas today.....eating her peas.....like a good girl. :) Hated green beans, but on the 2nd and 3rd day I think she grew to tolerate them.

So there you have it....Kirra's life in 7 months....all in one post. She is growing so fast its craziness. I really wish I could stop time or slow it down sometimes. It goes by way too fast! Everybody that see's her....strangers and all....and I mean EVERYBODY is always saying how beautiful she is. She IS very beautiful and we are so blessed to have her as our daughter.

I was scared to death to become a mother, but it is completely different than what I expected. I love her SO much and love watching her learn and do new things everyday. She brings 100% joy into my life. Okay I'm stopping now because I'm a cry baby and tears are rolling down my cheek....lol

I really plan to write more often so this doesn't happen again.....a post that consists of 7 months that is. :)
Stay tuned! 

I LOVE HALLOWEEN

So about a week ago or so I decorated a little bit for Halloween. I hardly have any Halloween decorations and don't really have any money to buy any, (even though I bought a couple things) so I made some homemade ones! If I had more money I would go all out on Halloween decorations and make my house and porch really creepy. 


So these first two pictures our the homemade ones. I just got out some vases, tissue paper that I had saved up, and we found the eyes and mouths online and printed them out, and then cut them out. I only have 1 light to make one glow though, I need to get a couple more lights or use glow sticks on Halloween night or something.

The two small pumpkins and the runner I broke down and bought at Thai Pan cuz I really liked them, the silver pumpkin I got at a yard sale for 5 bucks, the price tag still on the bottom, originally 25 bucks...I love yard sales.

These little hangy paper things I got at another yard sale for only a dollar, I have like 8 or 10 more that I haven't hung up cuz they actually kinda suck. They require AAA batteries, and I turned them on for like 3 hours and the batteries were already dead. I was so mad, no wonder the lady sold them for only a buck. Soooo I was thinking I could get some regular small christmas lights or something and stick them inside to light them up at night, cuz they look pretty good lit up.

We also got a bag of glow in the dark spider web stuff at a yard sale for only 50 cents that we still need to put up.  So yeah...I love halloween...its only in the best month of the whole year... and it has nothing to do with my birthday being 5 days away from it or anything like that. October is just a cool month thats all. ;)

Our baby girl!!

So last week we went to our Dr's appointment for the baby and our first ultrasound. There was no way we were going to wait and be surprised if its a boy or a girl....I think we would both go crazy. 

Both of us were fine with either a boy or a girl cuz we want both eventually, but I think we both wanted a little girl just a little bit more. Now my side of the family, especially my mom, wanted us to have a little girl because she has 3 times as many grandsons as she does granddaughters. Braulio's side of the family, pretty much everyone, wanted us to have a little boy because they have 2 granddaughters so it would be the first boy. So they all seemed a little disappointed...lol..but I know they are still way happy and excited too. My mom freaked out she was so excited that we are having a little girl.

So our Dr started searching around and at first couldn't really tell cuz she had both her legs in the same position, but then she moved a little bit and he said I'm pretty sure its a girl cuz you look and there are no little boy parts sticking out there, its pretty flat...lol.

I didn't show it much but I was really happy inside and a little tear came out....I'm way excited! We are gonna have a baby girl. He checked her heart and spinal cord and everything to make sure she is healthy and everything looks good...she is a healthy little girl!

Here is a couple of my fav pics of her.

This one she has her mouth open a little bit. 

This one looks like she is sucking on her thumb..I love it! :) 

A few summer trips

Ok...Ok...I am such a slacker at this blogging thing! I so wanted to be able to to write something every day or at least once a week but I guess I'm just not cool enough to get that down...lol...I have so much to catch up on...ugh! 

So we had a pretty good summer...even though we literally don't have any money somehow we have been able to take a few summer trips. 

One trip we went to Calf Creek with my brother Andy, his wife Jill, and kids, and Jill's sister, and also my brother Eric and his kids. It is really beautiful there, the camp ground sits by a little creek and you can hike through the creek or play in it, it was pretty fun. We had a huge water fight, including mud and moss. 

We also went hiking to some narrows. That was also really beautiful, we didn't know if my big belly would make it through, Andy thought we had turned back cuz I couldn't fit, but we made it through...I had to have a few hands pull and push in certain parts of the hike but we made it! lol 

Doogie getting ready for the hike

We also went to Lake Powell which I have been wanting to go there so bad since we have moved back to Utah. My dad goes at least once every year and he had already been a few times this year and told us whenever we wanted to go he would take us.

So we planned a time to go with my dad and we took Braulio's family. His brother Andres, and sister Stefani with her husband Jahvel and their kids.

 We got there later than expected so my dad had Braulio and Andres take the jet ski's out first to find a spot to dock the house boat. I call it our little ghetto white trash house boat cuz its so old....but its really nice to have! The best part about it is sleeping up on top and seeing all the beautiful stars above. It is sooooo beautiful because there are no city lights and you can see sooo many stars! I love it!

So we ventured out in the dark on the house boat, Andres came back to find us and we docked next to a few other house boats in a nice sandy area. 

Me and Dad

Sand Mountain


The next day we played in the water with the jet ski's, we went to sand mountain where its this huge hill of sand. Everybody hiked up but me and my dad. Its pretty steep. We also inflated this huge floaty that I've been wanting to try out and we would float in the middle of the lake with it. It was good times, I really love Lake Powell.

Beautiful Sunrise

Then we also got to go to Dinsneyland. When we first moved to St. George we cleaned some school buses for a couple hours and we got free Disneyland tickets. We went with Braulio's family. It was pretty fun.

Velani and Mia, Stefani's girls were pretty excited to go to Disneyland. When we got there we went on a ride that looked fine, but ended up being scary and the girls came out crying and didn't really want to ride anything after that, but we got them to ride a few more rides, and they were super excited to see all the Disney Princesses.

Stefani is so creative and made some shirts for her, Rossi, and me, and made an Ariel costume for Velani, and Minnie Mouse costume for Mia. They were so cute!!

We were there for most of the morning...and then got hungry, went to lunch and nobody wanted to go back except for Stefani and the girls. So we all stayed and Stefani, Rossi, Velani, and Mia went back for the rest of the day.

I was super tired and it was super hot. Plus I'm pregnant and my pelvis or something was aching. I wanted to go on some of the good rides but the lines were soooo long and I really didn't feel like waiting in line for hours.

So the rest of us went back to the hotel and played words with friends on the iphone for a few hours...lol...then later that night we went to the pool and swam and got in the jacuzzi. I unfortunately could only put my feet in the jacuzzi and was very sad about it because I LOVE Jacuzzis. Oh well. We got to watch the Disney fireworks from the pool cuz our hotel was pretty much just across the street, so that was pretty cool.

We also went to the beach for a little while, we didn't get in cuz it was really cold and we are wuss's but we took pictures and stood in it and thats about it. I love the beach.

So there's catchin up for ya! I need to really stop slacking and get on this blog thing more often!
