Hoppy Easter!!

By -
When Grace woke up Easter morning, Isaac and I were still extremely tired.

She was sitting in bed and kept pointing up at the top of the closet.

When I looked to see what she was pointing at, I saw her Easter basket that I had hidden away.

I got it down and let her go to town so Isaac and I could get a few more minutes of sleep.

I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures though:



After she opened what the Easter Bunny had brought her (an Olivia DVD and backpack, eggs filled with playdough, and an adorable summer outfit), we let her open the eggs and play with playdough for the first time while we ate breakfast.

I was very surprised that she didn't even try to eat it once.

She loved pulling it apart and throwing little bits here and there:


Next, Lisa, Kasie, Grace, and I went to do a little shopping while the boys went back to bed.

It was raining and still managed to be absolutely perfect out.

Grace got some cute new shoes:


Lisa bought some shirts and pictures frames, and Kasie got some aloe for her sun burn.

The pier was calling our name, but we weren't too sure about heading over there since it was raining.

When we came out of the last shop, the rain had stopped (talk about perfect timing).

We made our way to the pier before heading home and gearing up for the long drive back.




We were really sad to leave Newport Beach.

It's one of our favorite places to be, and it's even more special to us because we have so many great memories with our best friends here.

We're going to make it a point to try and come back every Easter.

Even though we didn't get to be home to celebrate, we had to get some pictures of Grace at home in her Easter dress that Poppa and Gran got for her.

 She got all dressed up, and we spent some time doing our own little photo shoot.

Enjoy some pictures of our Easter Bunny:









Hoppy Easter :)

...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...
