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!!

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
