This Week...

...I was realllly craving snow cones.  There used to be a sno-cone stand near our house that had THE BEST sno-cones ever. We would go every weekend and sometimes during the week with all of our high school friends. We became friends with the old man that ran the stand, and were sad to see him move away a couple of years ago. Since I was craving one so bad, I got online and bought a sno-cone machine!! It should be here Wednesday and I promise I will be making sno-cones every single day when I get home from work!

...I felt amazing! (Except that I feel like I'm super fat! Screw it, right? I'm prego, and I should embrace my weight along with my multiple chins and humongous thighs. At least that's what I've been telling myself. There's always working out and eating healthy after the baby comes.) For the past week or two, I had been having trouble sleeping. My lower back was achey and when I laid on my side for too long, my hip flexor would really start to hurt. This is a problem seeing as how I can only sleep on my side. I was going to start sleeping in our La-Z-boy, but all of a sudden the pain stopped. My lower back is a little achey at times, but I have been sleeping much better and having less pain while awake (which is awesome). I figure Grace must've moved to a different position that agrees more with my body. Since I've been feeling so good, Isaac and I have been able to do more. It's been great to get out of the house and spend time with our closest friends.

...Kasie and Jeremy came over for dinner. We grilled steaks and watched the Rebels beat BYU! We had a great time talking and just catching up. Plus, Kasie made some ridiculously delicious desserts for us. They were in a cupcake wrapper but had a chocolate chip cookie at the bottom with cheesecake on top. Then that was topped with fresh cut strawberries. She left the rest here, and Isaac and I ate them all the next day.

...we went to Montelago Village at Lake Las Vegas for a beer walk. Basically, you pay for a cup and get to walk around the lake tasting different beers at different booths from around the country. Isaac obviously had a really good time and I actually enjoyed it as well. I didn't participate in the beer tasting, but I did get a yummy ice cream cone! Saturday was a beautiful day to spend time outside, and it was nice to hang out with the Gerfys for a while.


...we went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Sunday, Jeni and Allison came with us and we had so much fun goofing around and taking pictures. Afterwards, we all went out to eat together.


My favorite was Britney Spears (holy belly, right?!)


Isaac really enjoyed J-Lo...


...but I think his favorite was Nicholas Cage!


Jen and Allison played with the Blue Man Group,


and Isaac and I posed for pics with Oscar Goodman.

We had a really fun week, and I was happy to be feeling so good!

...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...
