Halloween....

I know...I know...better late than never? I backdated the post, so it's like I really posted it 2 weeks ago, right? UGH! Okay, so Halloween was a busy day. I had my interview. I got offered the job. I took Kira to Kenny while I was at my interview...and then took her home for a nap. Then Kira and I went back to the county building where I was that morning to go trick-or-treating. Really, we didn't go to collect candy...I just went with Anne and her son. I let her have a sucker, and some little cookies. That was all. Otherwise, the candy would have went into mom's belly...and really that wasn't necessary.

Kira and her tootsie pop

She's studying how to open it

Her costume was half off after 2 minutes...and her mouth is stuffed with cookies

What Mom? Let's go home.

So I let Kira have her sucker, and thinking she'll just hold it and wave it around...I just let her play with it. Well, I look a minute later, and she's chewing through the paper. So, I take it from her and she FREAKS OUT. So, I take the paper off, and she's a big slobbering mess. She loved it though.

After that ....we went back home and Becca came over. Kenny was helping his cousin work on his car, so Kira, Becca and I hung out and gave out candy to all of the like 4 kids that came to the house. It was fun though...we watched a movie and assisted in eating the candy that wasn't being given out to the kids. I've been on a sugar high ever since. No bueno.

Blast from the past...

No words necessary. Anyone who knows anything about this day...I hope you laughed until you cried. Oh the fun memories and joys of roommates and childish pranks... :) I miss you girls!

A Few Random Pics...

Kira and Kenny

I'm deep in thought. well, not really... :)

Yeah, we're hot.

I love my baby

Book Club...

Brooke and Shelby...the only 2 that read the book

Liz, Me, Keelee, Becca, McKayle

Brooke, Shelby, Blair

So, I didn't read the book....but I read the last one, does that count? As always...I love hanging out with these girls. We ate at Johnny Carino's again...this time was much more delightful. I, unlike some others, love the food there. I get this pecan crusted chicken salad. YUM. The bill was over $100 but we didn't have to pay a dime because of the coupons I got from last time, and the others who saved theirs. Yeah, I really need to read the book this time. Really, I do. Maybe I'm on the every other book strategy...so this next one I'll for sure read. I really need to make the commitment. :)

My little baby is getting so big!

Kira is getting to be such a big girl. She recognizes people more. She gets into everything....and tries to eat everything. We have to be careful because she starts to repeat things. She always says "Wass at?" which is "What's that?" She has a little temper. She hits a little bit. She takes her socks and shoes off as soon as they are put on. She's almost...ALMOST going to walk, but she loves to walk with help. She eats all kinds of different foods.... and she can have a whole piece of something and she bites it off herself instead of giving her tiny pieces at a time. She smiles a lot, and when she cries it's big alligator tears. She can entertain herself for long periods of time. She uses a sippycup a lot more now...a bottle sometimes at bedtime. She can throw the ball for the dog. She opens up cupboards and drawers. She pulls her pigtails out when she's tired. She hugs a lot. She can crawl up the stairs. She loves to play with other kids, and she is attentive when watching people, especially other kids. She tries to copy bigger kids, and she's pretty good at it--like climbing up the slide. She's rarely in a bad mood...just if she gets hurt, or is waaaaay too tired. She still throws her food on the ground sometimes, but only when the dog is begging. She is still a daddy's girl, but she loves mom too :). She's got such a fun personality and we are just enjoying being parents and watching her grow up. She has so many people that love her, especially her mom and dad...and I can't wait to watch her continue to learn new things!

Holding Hands

Becca sent me this way cute picture...and this is one of Kenny's favorites. It's kind of symbolic to me when I'm looking at it...We really are there as parents to hold Kira's hand and walk with her through life. Right now she can't even walk yet...but there will come a day when she can, and then later when she won't hold our hands anymore. I'll cherish these days...when she's so little....and hopefully she'll hold my hand when I'm a little old lady and can't walk on my own.

My Cute Family

I had a really busy few days off...well, today especially. Becca, Kenny, Kira and I went to Wheeler Farm and we took some pictures and looked at the ducks, etc. We went to the cheesecake factory. Then Becca and I went to a...Chili cook off I guess at her Ward, and then stopped by a friend's wedding reception. Kira was such a good girl all day long even though she was soooo tired. I have so many fun pictures to post, and I've got to get up in 6 1/2 hours but I couldn't resist posting atleast one picture of my cute family.
