Twenty-Six

This past week, Isaac celebrated his twenty-sixth birthday:


That doesn't sound so bad, except that it's on the downhill slope to fifty!

I cannot believe that time is passing us by so quickly.

It seems like just yesterday we were driving home from school in my little white Mustang rocking out to What's Luv by Fat Joe. It's so crazy how times have (or haven't) changed.

In the past three years we've gotten married, graduated with our bachelor degrees from UNLV, been blessed with our little Gracie, and are now expecting another baby girl.

You can still catch us driving around rocking out to Fat Joe every now then, but now there are car seats in the back of our Chevy Traverse.

It's hard to argue that these three years could have been any better.

Since our dog managed to chew up our entire back yard while we were in Nebraska a few weeks ago, Isaac really wanted a blower for his birthday. One day after work, we headed to Lowe's and found one that also vacuums and mulches:


Perfect for the tiny bundles of cotton all over the yard from Cash's bed that somehow got shredded to pieces.


Isaac got home and started using it that night. He was a little excited.

By the time his actual birthday came, our backyard was back to being beautiful. Isaac spent about eight hours vacuuming up Cash's mess and repairing irrigation that he had dug up:


Hopefully Cash will keep it this way {fingers crossed}.

Isaac's birthday fell on Super Bowl Sunday, and since we're such huge football fans, you know we had to have a party.

We invited our families and close friends and started counting down the days.

I was mostly just excited because we were getting tons of food from Memphis Barbecue to celebrate the occasion.

Kasie came over the night before and we made some football field cupcakes for the next day:



She and Francesca came over a few hours early on Sunday to help me decorate the house and get all of the food ready. Then all of our other friends arrived. We had so much fun catching up with everyone and just having all of our favorite people together in one place.

Plus, we got to munch on tons of yummy food:


The boys played a little football out front:



Isaac got tons of UNLV gear just in time for their biggest game of the season on the 11th (Go Rebs!!). We ate, played football related Super Bowl party games, and laughed our butts off.

Then we sang happy birthday to the greatest guy in the world:


Grace even ate a whole cupcake:


If our life continues on its current path, the slippery slope to fifty shouldn't be all that bad.

Happy Birthday, hubby! Life is 192,987,643,599 times more exiciting with you by my side. I can't wait to see what happens next! Love you <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...
