Family, Love, and Laughter

By -
This past week, Isaac and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary:


It's hard to believe it's been two whole years.

We talked about doing something nice like getting a couple's massage or going to a fancy dinner, but it just didn't feel right.


(Maybe next year.)

Our life is all about family, love, and laughter.

To really celebrate these three things, we decided to spend the day playing with Grace and hanging out with my family that included my sister who happened to be in town visiting from Kansas.

We woke up, got ready, and headed out to eat.

Our first stop was my dad's house. He'll be working a lot of days in a row without having one off, so we wanted Grace to see him for a bit before that started. She had a lot of fun running around the house and banging on his drums:


Next up, a stop at Baskin Robbins. Isaac and I have been going there together for our ice cream fixes for nearly ten years:


After our yummy snack, we headed to my mom's house to celebrate with a barbecue with the whole family.

My stepdad, Rick, got some delicious steaks and my mom made some great side salads.

While they were cooking, we played outside since the weather was so beautiful (and by beautiful, I mean rainy and cool):



It was such a gorgeous, relaxing day. We got to spend some time chatting (just the two of us) which was nice. Since we got married two years ago, we've both graduated from UNLV and added the most beautiful, smart, funny little person to our lives. It sure has been a roller coaster, but we wouldn't change it for the world. 

Before we know it, we'll be celebrating out fiftieth anniversary, so we know that it's important to make each day special. Our family is filled with so much love, and it's more than I ever imagined it could be. We spend most of our time laughing which I think is the most important part of life. I'm so thankful to have found such an amazing husband, father, and best friend in Isaac. We're definitely the luckiest people in the world.

Love you, babe!

...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...
