Heating Up

By -
Since the weather has really been heating up, we decided that it was time for our first pool day of the summer!

Grace was so excited to go swimming.

She got two new swimsuits this year, and both were too big.

(Hooray!! Excuse to go shopping!)

We grabbed one from last summer, decided it fit good enough, and headed for the pool.

Grace started out lounging in her Minnie Mouse chair poolside:


The sun was beating down, and it got hot quickly, so she was ready for the pool in no time:


Cash even got to join us for a swim:


Grace and I played in the water while Daddy soaked up the sun:



Then it was Daddy's turn to play:







All of that playing made Grace thirsty so Daddy got her some Hawaiian Punch:


Aunt Geni even came to play for a bit:


A little later, Kasie and Jeremy came by to enjoy the day. We had big plans to take Grace to see Disney on Ice with them later that night! In usual Isaac fashion, he lost our tickets from the car to the entrance of the show. Luckily, we were in a suite so he just bought some random tickets, and we were still able to get to our original seats. The second the show was starting, a car hit the transformer and took out the power to the whole UNLV campus. We only got to see Mickey, Minnie, and Grace's favorite, Buzz Lightyear, long enough to get her excited. Looks like we'll have to keep our eyes open for the next show, so Grace can get the full experience. She did get a Mickey Mouse snow cone and a light up wand. That's what counts, right?

We had a great day regardless and can't wait for many more pool days to come this summer!

...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...
