The Real World: Newport

By -
After Grace's first beach day (and a much needed nap), we headed over to my family's house for a barbecue.

We hung out on the porch and enjoyed the weather along with some Pacificos:


Kasie and Jeremy taught Grace how to beat up boys, and she thought it was hilarious:


She got to hang out for a while before we went out for the night:



Since we knew we'd be leaving her with Grandma, Isaac thought we should buy some formula in case she got hungry. We were smart about it and decided to try it out before we left to make sure she'd be alright. She tasted one sip, spit it at me, and threw her bottle in the sand. I guess she didn't like it, so I made sure to feed her a hot dog at the barbecue and make some extra milk to leave for her just in case.

We let her get sleepy and then took off so Grandma could put her to bed. She did much better the second night and slept the whole time we were gone.

We knew it was going to be a great night when we met Suzette (not that one) outside our local hang out "Class of '47":


Francesca quickly introduced her to our Suzette after she tried flashing us. This lady was crazy and we'd do anything to get her away from us. 

Unfortunately, she continued to follow us around for a few hours:


When we finally got away, we hung out at the bar for a bit:


After a couple of drinks, we decided that we wanted to go to Cabo.

The bar, not the city in Mexico.

We had so much fun last time we were there, so we left the boys with their game of pool and headed that way.

We posed for more pictures:


Taught this cool guy how to dance:



And then headed back to meet up with the guys.

We ended up dragging them back to Cabo, dancing a bit more, and ending the night with a cab ride back to the house.

It was a lot of fun, and with our crazy group, totally reminded us of the "The Real World", so we dubbed it the Newport Edition.

Next up: 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...
