Every Now and Then

Although I haven't blogged about it in a while, Kasie and I have been continuing our tradition of cooking dinner together every Friday night.

I must say that I feel like I am becoming a much better cook (my list of dinner dishes now consists of much more than tacos and macaroni with cheese)!

However, this past week, we decided that it'd be nice to take a break from cooking and go grab some sushi.

Since Isaac has been working an insane amount of hours lately (seriously SLAMMED at work...which is a GrEaT thing I suppose), he was all about the sake.

First thing when we sat down at the table, Isaac ordered up some Sapporo and sake for the four of us.

We got everything ready and started in on the sake bombs.

This is probably a little irresponsible pretty hilarious considering the fact that we were sitting in a quiet restaurant with older people all around, AND a baby in a highchair was also sitting at our table.

Isaac insisted that we yell "SAKEEEEE" whenever we'd take a drink.

Of course I had to grab a few quick pictures.

After a few sake bombs and some delicious sushi, we got the most amazing fortunes in our fortune cookies:

(Kasie's, Mine, Isaac's, Jeremy's)

Seriously?

Seriously!

We don't know what they mean either.

After getting those awesome fortunes, we decided to take the party back to our place.

Isaac and I stopped by the store to grab some Sapporo to go with the bottle of sake that we conveniently had sitting at home, while Kasie and Jeremy rented a movie.

We pulled up to the house, gave Grace a bath, put her to bed, and enjoyed some more sake bombs:


Isaac gave us an awesome knife throwing show:

(Don't worry, it was really a can opener.)

Somehow, this led to us pulling out old pictures from high school and reminiscing about our adolescence.

We didn't end up watching the movie until Saturday when we also continued our journey through high school by reading all of the "autographs" in our year books and showing Jeremy what big dorks we were throughout the years.

Such a fun weekend. 

I'm so glad that Kasie and I have been able to stay friends for so long and grow even closer as the years have passed. 

It was crazy to see how far we've come from those little kids in sixth grade to such serious (but not that serious) grown-ups with engagements, marriages, and even a baby.

I'm glad we can still have a little fun every now and then (love you Kas)!

Last Week...

...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
