"Working" on the Weekend

By -
A few months ago, our company purchased a suite at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway so that we would be able to entertain clients and enjoy the drag races.

Isaac and I had to "work" on Saturday, and the girls got to come with us, too:

Grace couldn't have had more fun. Not only were there super fast cars whizzing by every few minutes, but she got to hang out with Grammy and Papa Rick.

The view from our suite is pretty awesome:

Of course Grace had to bring her puppy. He enjoyed watching the races with her:

They cater lunch, so we enjoyed some snacks while waiting for the races to start:

 After smelling the food, Charley wanted lunch, too:

I recorded a video of one race so you would be able to get the idea of just how fast and loud they were. Grace has probably watched it eighty-five times. She LOVES the "fast caws":

The girls kept everyone entertained with their cuteness while Isaac and I talked with clients:

In between races, I let Grace sneak outside for a second to check it out. They were way too loud for her to be out there during the race:

She went back in to watch through the glass with Papa Rick. After each one, she'd say, "I wanna do it again!":

Isaac and I stayed out there for a few, and it was awesome. You can totally feel it throughout your whole body. I swear I could feel my eardrums vibrating:

Sunstate also sponsors one of the cars, driven by Justin Lamb. It was pretty cool to see our name on the side:


After the races, we headed home to nap. Grace passed out instantly:
(Love her leopard sweater and headband...gahhh!)

We had a lot more fun out there than I expected, and Grace even had a blast.

We'll definitely be volunteering to "work" the next race event!

...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...
