A Visit from Grandma

By -
Most of Isaac's family lives in Nebraska, so we don't get to see them very often (miss you all!).

Occasionally, they come to visit us, and we LOVE it!!

This time, it was Grandma Crnkovich's turn.

She arrived on Wednesday night and came right over Thursday morning to spend the day with Gracie while Isaac and I worked:


We had gone to the mall the night before, and I was dying to go to this carnival there after I smelled the cotton candy from a mile away.

Friday night after work, we all met up at Montesano's for dinner and then headed straight for the cotton candy carnival.

Grace went on the carousel with Grandma Lisa. It was pretty much the only ride she was big enough to go on:



Not too sure if she liked it, but she didn't cry. Baby girl kept a serious face on the entire time.

I tried giving Grace some of this amazingly delicious cotton candy, but she wanted nothing to do with it and kept throwing it on the ground:

(Is she really my kid?)

Later, Isaac, Zacarias, and Kasie went on the Sky Master. These types of rides are totally not my style. I'm a major wuss when it comes to anything having to do with rides or heights, so this was a double no:



They had so much fun they went again...and again.

Grace danced to the carnival music and put on a show for Grandma C while we waited.

Isaac and Zacarias raced through the fun maze. Of course Isaac would get stuck, so Zacarias passes him:


Daddy won Grace two goldfish, but when I thought about where we were going to put them and having to remember to feed them and clean the bowl, we decided to give them to another kid to take home and love.

We had a lot of fun, and Grace even got to stay up until 10:30.

Later on that weekend, we met Grandma Lisa and Grandma C at the Springs Preserve.

It was all decorated for Halloween:


They had lots of nasty bugs like scorpions, giant cockroaches, and spiders that are native to Nevada. Grace wasn't too fond of them:


We also saw a room filled with information about the building of the Hoover Dam and mining days:


Grace had fun looking at Daddy through the windows of some of the houses, and they even got to sit on a giant tortoise:


We had lots of fun with Grandma C this week and were sad to see her go. Luckily, we've already got a trip to Nebraska planned for June of next year! Isaac can't wait to take Grace back home and show her off to everyone.

...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...
