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)!

...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...
