Spring Chickens

Saturday was Jeremy's birthday.

Since Isaac and I don't go out very much, he came up with something really fun and asked Jeremy and Kasie if they were up for it. Of course they were (and so were a few of our other friends)!

Grandma and Grandpa Espejo watched the kiddos while we went out to celebrate.

We started out at Hofbrauhaus which was crazy packed. Apparently, it was the opening day of Oktoberfest, and Siegfried and Roy were there to help celebrate, too! People were standing on tables, dancing, and chugging beer all around us:

It was awesome and so much fun!

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but when in Rome...




We sang Sweet Caroline and did the "Chicken Dance":
(Bah bah bah)


Everyone at our table got spanked (except Frannie and I...we're wusses). These are the best shots:



After dinner, we headed over to the Hard Rock to see what other trouble we could get into.

We found a bar with a DJ, and I ended up dancing on tables:

Kasie and I wore fancy shoes...no wonder my feet hurt so badly the next day:

You know it was a fun night when we take a picture and each of us pulls out the ol' duck face:

We got a ride home from Matt, stopped at McDonalds, and picked our kids up at three o'clock in the morning. (I'm not one to leave them places overnight. I like having them with me.)

It was super fun when they were up at eight in the morning, too!

I love my kids more than life itself, but every once in a while, it's nice to have some grown up fun. We had a blast, and it took two days to fully recover. As Kasie said, "we ain't no spring chickens anymore."

Happy Birthday, Jeremy!!

...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...
