...Grace went to town with some Brownie A La Mode at Johnny Mac's:


...Cash got groomed and came home looking all fluffy and clean:


...Grace got some adorable new monkey jammies:


...sleepy baby passed out on the floor while waiting for Kasie, Jeremy, Kelli, Eddie, and Tenley to come over:


...Daddy made us homemade buttermilk pancakes from scratch Saturday AND Sunday (they were so good he couldn't help himself):


...Grace found out she was going to have a baby sister:


...we spent a few hours at the park enjoying an absolutely gorgeous day. This UNLV sweatsuit was given to me by my Uncle Perry when I was Grace's age:








...my Uncle Perry lost a very long battle with cancer. He was one of the funniest, goofiest, strongest men I've ever known. When I was younger, my dad and I would go to his house so I could play with his two girls, and they would pitch a tent in the middle of his living room so we could all "camp out". He was the uncle that let me fill his long hair with barrettes when I was small. I will always remember him playing his guitar and teaching me the chords to Cat Scratch Fever. He was my dad's best friend and baby brother, and I can't imagine how different all our family events will be without his goofy jokes and big smile. We will never forget you Uncle Per. We will love you for always and know that someday we will meet again. I'm sorry that life took this horrible turn for you, but am also so glad that you are no longer in pain. You fought so hard and never gave up. That taught us all a lesson. Your suffering is finally over, and I'm sure you are looking down on us all happy to finally be whole again. You're forever in our hearts <3

...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...
