Have you seen this girl?

Last seen wearing a pink shirt, jeans, and purple legwarmers. Last seen Sunday, September 7, 2008 in West Valley City, Utah. She usually has her hair in a side ponytail or wears a neon green visor that says "Wendover." She may be hanging out at Petsmart petting the small animals such as hamsters and gerbils. Or, she may be seen riding the bus or hanging out at the bus stations as that's her favorite thing to do. Please, if you've seen this woman, call me. I'm desperate to find her to make sure she's okay.

Daddy plays softball

lil' ball player

Kira and daddy

Who loves Kira?

Who loves her daddy?

Okay, so Kira has been sick the last few days. I mean, WAY sick...she's thrown up a ton, cried a ton, not slept enough, and poor baby is just needing to sleep it off and get better soon. She seems to be doing a little better, but she's just not herself yet. I feel terrible. There's nothing more heartbreaking than your little child clinging to you crying and then throwing up....and doing it that sad cycle. Gosh, breaks my heart....seriously.

Kenny stayed home with Kira today. He was on baby duty last night which meant that I slept all night and went to work today. He took care of her all night last night and all day today. Tonight it's my turn...and tomorrow also. So, we'll see how much sleep I get.

This is besides the point. Kenny had a softball game tonight and Kira and I went. Her Grandpa Hart was there and I took her just to get her some fresh air and get out of the house. Well, things were okay until she got tired, and she was VERY cranky. Grandpa and I took turns holding the squirmy little girl, and when she started to cry a ton I started to walk away to take a walk with her. I'm holding her and I hear everyone yell " Watch out!!!" I grab her close, and duck because I wasn't sure who they were talking to. I had been watching my baby and not the game. I look up a second later and this guy who was waiting to start his game had caught the softball literally INCHES from Kira's head. I'm not even kidding. INCHES from her head. I almost started crying and I thanked him so many times. I guess you can't take your eye of the game for even a second--lesson learned. Kenny did win his game though, and he did an awesome job!!! I'm glad he joined this team...he loves it, and it's pretty fun to watch. :)

Eryn's baptism day

Today was Eryn's Baptism. Becca and I went to lunch and went shopping in the morning, and the baptism was late afternoon. We had a dinner afterwards at my brother's house with family, and we just hung out there at home later. It was a pretty average day, but very exciting for Eryn. I am glad I got to go and be part of her big day!!

Lovely lunch

My mom and dad

Kyle and Jody

Mom, Becca, Jody and I were downtown in Boise today and met my dad and brother for lunch...and afterwards we went back to what we were doing, and they went back to work. So glad I didn't have to work today!!!
Anyways, we get to this restaurant and my mom goes in to check it out...and the girl is SO rude to her. We almost left--she was just a snob. We decided to stay since we were already there. Well, I needed a highchair for Kira...so I go inside (because we were sitting outside) to ask where a highchair was. So, I walk inside and ask this girl, "Do you have a highchair?" She says "Yes, we do. it's open seating so sit where you want." So, I say again,"Do you have a highchair?" She says, "Yes we do...just sit where you want." So, I say "Great, I'll sit where I want as soon as you tell me where a highchair is." She points to the back and I go get one. Ironically she was nice as pie when she was our server. But, seriously, she BUGGED me. How do people like that make money when their entire income is based on how nice they are....seriously, bugged. Like I could rant forever on rude people. But, I'll just say, we had a lovely lunch in spite of the rudeness.

So cute in the tub

Who doesn't love a chunky baby in the tub?

Headin' to Boise

So tired....but my hair looks hot lol

Becca and I...so fun

Kira...just chillin'

Me...even more tired...

We got to watch the sunset together

So, Becca and I went to Boise....well, we are in Boise...My parents are here from California for my nieces baptism. We came to see Eryn's baptism, and of course, bring the baby to see Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. Kenny has season tickets to football...and declined the trip, but when Becca and I do anything, we're always entertained....so it's okay. Well, we left right after work yesterday--I'd gotten up at 4:30am for work and didn't have time for a nap, so I started a little tired. By the end of the trip I was delirious because I seriously...was sooo....tired. The car ride was maybe 5 or 6 hours, I can't remember, and the baby was so good. She was hardly fussy and I was so glad. The best part of the trip were the parts that Becca and I were taking dumb pictures of ourselves (that are not going to be posted lol) and when we played Squishy face. Have any of you played it? It's where the passenger in the car, squishes their face up against the window while passing another car...while they pretend to sleep. The driver of the car keeps watch at the other cars and when the people look over, they make the signal, and then passenger looks up and stares at the other car. Sounds juvenile, right? Sounds kinda dumb, right? Well, it is...but oh my gosh I laughed so hard. But, no one looked over at us...it was getting kind of dark. But, I could not stop laughing at the prospect of someone looking over. Really though, it doesn't take much to entertain me. :) I'll have to try it on the way home and see if there are better results. lol.

My man's a manly man

So, I'm so happy that Kenny is one of those men. You know, the one who changes lightbulbs, takes out the trash, and can do all the car stuff. I took my car to Kenny and he changed the oil, rotated the tires, checked the fluids,...and cleaned my car inside and out. It's so nice to be able to call him for a flat tire, or really fix anything with my car. Thanks babe. :)
