Happy Birthday to Me

By -
Ahhh, twenty-six.

The downhill slope to fifty has begun.

I can officially say that I am at the best, most exciting, most enjoyable point of my wonderful-filled life.

I have an uber amazing hubby, the sweetest baby girl in the world, another special little one on the way, an awesome job, and the best family and friends anyone could ask for.

Luckily, life looks like it will continue to get better and better (if that's possible).

This year for my birthday, I came down with a sinus/cold/allergy thing that only lasted two days.

Since one of those days happened to be my birthday, I wasn't really up for doing anything special.

Isaac's Grandma Sally from Nebraska sent me some beautiful flowers to work which really brightened up my day:


Then, my mom also surprised me at work with this gorgeous black leather purse and wallet that I absolutely loooove. Ever since I had Grace I haven't really been using a purse, but this one fits all of my stuff and a couple of diapers, wipes, snacks, and toys. It's perfect:


It's even purple on the inside. So pretty:


Instead of going somewhere, my mom, Rick, and Geni came over to our house for dinner. Isaac cleaned the whole house and cooked up one of my favs: Fettuccine Carbonara!

We played with Grace, watched her dance, ate dinner, and had a really great time just hanging out at home.

If every birthday feels like this one, I wouldn't mind have lots more!

Happy Birthday to me :)

P.S. This is my three hundreth blog post!!

...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...
