Grace's First Vacation

By -
Grace's first vacation was a trip up to the cabin when she was almost three weeks old. Isaac got off early on Friday and we headed up there with my mom, stepdad, and sister. On the way up there, we stopped in Pintura so Grace could meet her Great Grandma, Great Grandpa, and Aunt Laura. We also took a four generation picture with Grandma.

After visiting with them for a couple of hours, we headed up the mountain to the cabin. It was a nice break for Isaac and I, because my mom helped put Grace to bed and watch her in the mornings so we could catch up on some much needed sleep. I also got some time to catch up on the blog a little bit while Grace played Hide and Go Seek with daddy.


On Saturday, Uncle Larry, Aunt Jessie, and Sydney came in from Texas to hang out for the weekend. We had such a fun time with them all. It was nice to see them and spend a whole weekend with them.

Sunday was the Fourth of July. We weren't allowed to have fireworks up there, so we made smores around the fire instead.

The last time we were at the cabin was over Thaksgiving weekend. I forgot how nice it was to get away for a weekend and enjoy the MUCH cooler weather. We had the best time up there and can't wait to do it again!

...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...
