Happy Father's Day

By -

For Isaac's first Father's Day, we had dinner with his mom, Craig, Zacarias, and Savannah to celebrate. Lisa brought over Memphis Barbeque (our favorite) on Saturday, and we just hung out and visited all night.

The next morning Isaac woke up to a card from Grace hidden by his toothbrush. He was very suprised that being only 6 days old, Grace remembered to get him a card! We got her all dressed up to match daddy for the day.


Next, we were off to make our rounds. The first stop was Isaac's dad's. We didn't have any plans to go over there, but decided to suprise him anyways since the other kids were out of town with their friends. We spent a couple of hours visiting with him, Kim, and Zacarias. Then, we headed over to my dad's. We took Grace to visit her grandpa and enjoyed a couple of hours over there hanging out and visiting with him. Finally, we went over to my mom and Rick's house for a prime rib dinner. It was delicious, and Isaac got to relax and enjoy some time with Gracie.


When we got home that night, Grace needed a bath. Since she wasn't allowed to take one just yet, we gave her a sponge bath. She didn't seem to like it too much and screamed the whole way through. Afterwards though, we cuddled her up in a blankie and she was out for the night.

Grace screaming like crazy.

Mommy got to be the good guy at the end.

All cuddled up in her Elmo towel.

Isaac had the perfect first Father's Day. He got to see all of our families, give Gracie her first bath, and then cuddle with her for the rest of the night! What more could you ask for?

...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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
