This Kid Can Sleep Anywhere (Happy Fourth!!)

By -
This Fourth of July, Isaac and I both had to work.

We were kind of bummed because we wanted to spend the day barbecuing by the pool with Grace, but it turned out to be a good thing. It's so much easier to get actual work done at work when there aren't many phone calls or people interrupting you all day long.

Isaac's mom, Lisa, watches Grace on Mondays, so she sent us this cute picture to brighten up our day:


When we got home, we took a quick picture of Grace in her American gear before heading to Grandma and Grandpa Espejo's house to CeLeBrAte:


After visiting for a while, we all headed to the neighbor's house for some great food and adorable little cupcakes that Elisha made:


Once we were all extremely full and the sun started to go down, it was time for fireworks (the best part).

We got the chairs all set up and sat down to enjoy the show:


I was really surprised that Grace wasn't afraid of the fireworks:


Daddy held her when they started, and she couldn't take her eyes off of them:


There was huge variety from bright, loud fireworks that sat on the ground to huge ones that lit up the sky. Not only did our group have some awesome ones, but the people a few houses down and ones across the street had some big ones. It was So PrEtty to watch them all around us:



Grace switched off between Mommy and Daddy as we watched the colors explode in the sky:


Isaac and Elisha played with the Roman candles while I watched from the sidelines. I don't know why, but fireworks really make me NeRvOuS:


Kasie went to watch a big firework show with her parents, but afterwards they all stopped by to hang out for a bit.

We played with some sparklers.

(they're little so they're not as scary):


We had a great time and Grace even stayed up until ten having fun:


Once she got tired, she fell asleep on Daddy's lap while the fireworks were still going off.

I swear, this kid can sleep anywhere:


I hope everyone else had as much fun as we did!!

...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...
