Welcome to Las Vegas!

Last weekend was Francesca's bachelorette party. I dropped Isaac off with the boys, since it was also Matt's bachelor party, and picked Frannie up to go get our make-up done at Mac. I also grabbed some fun "bachelorette" decorations for the hotel room.



I had booked a small suite at The Hotel (part of Mandalay Bay). When we went to check in, the guy made a weird remark that made it sound like maybe they had overbooked the rooms. I instantly told him to give us an upgrade. He showed us the book of suites available at both hotels and proceeded to tell us that we were getting the largest suite they had on the penthouse level. We were so stoked and couldn't wait to get up there to check it out (thanks, Stripper Steve)!



The room was totally awesome with two large bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, bar, dining room, and movie room complete with u-shaped couch and ginormous TV. The whole back wall was full of large windows that overlooked the airport runways. When we got up there, we instantly kicked off our shoes and began throwing open the curtains and jumping on the beds.






We didn't have much time to get crazy, because we all still had to get our hair done and dinner was in an hour. Luckily, we all got ready in record time. Some of the other ladies met up with us in the room, and we had a couple of drinks before heading down to the House of Blues.

Once we were seated at dinner, a round of shots was in order. We also ordered some yummy blue drinks and made sure to being our super special bachelorette straws.







After dinner, we hopped on the Tijuana Trolley. We hooked up my iPhone with the best playlist ever and danced our booties off on our way to the Rio.






(Just hanging out of the emergency exit...no biggie!)

At the Rio, we checked in to get Frannie's Bachelorette tiara, sash, and a feather boa for everyone in the party. Then it was on to Chippendale's where we had more fun dancing.









When the show was over, we made our way back to the trolley and headed towards the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign. We took some fun pictures before heading back to Mandalay Bay.




Back at the hotel, we all went to Mix Lounge (at different times).




At some point, we all ended up in the room to sleep. The next morning when the boys joined us, things got a little rowdy. Apparently, they hadn't slept, were still drinking, and shaved Isaac's head some time early that morning.



It happened to be Easter, so Isaac and I had to leave after a while to go get the girls. We both had such a great time at our respective parties. I don't think we could have had any more fun!

Next up...the wedding! Ahhhh!!

...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...
