My Birthday!

By -
Friday was my 24th birthday. Yes, that's exactly one month after Isaac's. We were both born on the 5th which is why we decided to get married on September 5th. We are also hoping that Grace comes a few days early on June 5th. We'll see.

Anyways, I've been talking about getting some Reebok Easytone shoes. I even made Isaac take me to try them on to see how I liked them. Even though I really wanted them, I didn't buy them because I thought we could use the money for something else (like more baby clothes). Isaac surprised me with them for my birthday :)



I'm excited to start wearing them for my walks with mom and Izzie.

Since my mom was going to be out of town, she took us to Memphis Barbeque for dinner on Wednesday night. Then when I got back to work after lunch on Friday, I had some gorgeous flowers waiting for me from her.


About an hour later, I got a bouquet of cookies delivered from Gracie!


That night, Lisa, Craig, and Zacarias came over for dinner. I made a huge pot of chilli and they brought some yummy strawberry shortcake. Saturday night, my dad, Ellie, and James came over and made us tacos and key lime pie tarts. Then Sunday we went to Isaac's dad's to have some burgers and hang out with his family.

I had a pretty good birthday weekend and was glad I got to spend it with so much family!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
