The Perfect Spot

By -
We made plans to meet Grace's buddies, Noah and Easton, at Reunion Trails Park to play in the water on Sunday:


She was so excited to go play with them.

We stopped at the store to get watermelon, juice, and crackers to take with us.

By the time we got there, the place was packed!

As soon as we walked up to the park, another family got up from their table, so we got the perfect spot.

Daddy loaded Grace up with sunscreen, but he got it all in her eyes.

It took her a few minutes to recover, so Mommy had to walk around with her while she was being shy:


She kept pointing to her eyes and whining, so I took her back to Daddy so he could try to wash the sunscreen out of them:


After a quick cracker break, she was ready to run (thank goodness!):


Noah took her hand to show her the cool spots:



She loves "Oah":



Easton got in on the action too:


He loved splashing in the little fountains:


Grace had so much fun playing in the water:










Charley just slept the whole time...such a good girl:


Noah and Grace watched the big kids play basketball for a bit:


Easton had a juice box:


Then the kiddos ate some fruit:


After we were done with snacks, Noah and Easton went on the awesome swings:


So of course Gracie wanted to join:




Since Grace started falling asleep on them, we decided it was time to go.

We always have lots of fun with the Sebastians.

I'm sure we'll be heading to this awesome park a lot more this summer!

Last Week...

...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
