...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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
