{Five Years}

By -
September 5th was Isaac and my fifth wedding anniversary! That weekend also happened to be our ten year high school reunion (I still do not believe it has been that long). Since Isaac planned our fabulous four year anniversary, it was my turn this year. I thought for months about what we could do to make our FIVE year anniversary extra special. It's hard to come up with something when we are always doing fun things together. I've always wanted to renew our vows on the strip with Elvis, but we decided to wait until another year to do that.

Sooo....while cleaning out our hall closet, I came across Isaac's old football jersey (whyyyy couldn't he have been #5?) and instantly contacted our old friend, Maryann to set up a surprise photo shoot for Isaac. Sure, it's cheesy and silly, but how fun would it be to do a "where it all began" shoot at our old high school the weekend of our reunion? I couldn't have planned it better myself (except that I did, indeed, plan it)!

We got home from work Friday afternoon, and I threw Isaac his old jersey and told him to put it on. He knew what I was doing, and he wasn't very excited. He hates when I schedule photo shoots and then loves the outcome every.single.time. I feel like most husbands feel this way. Any who, we met Maryann at good 'ol Foothill High School and got the show on the road. The pictures turned out so adorable! We love them, and I am so glad we did them!!



























After the photo shoot, we checked into our room at the MGM and got ready for the rest of our date night, which absolutely included Britney Spears (duh!).


Fifteen minutes 'til show time, and Isaac obviously couldn't contain his excitement. The show was just as good as the first couple of times I saw it, and I was excited for Isaac to see it with me. When it ended, we walked around the strip for a while before calling it a night. We had so much fun dancing, drinking Margaritas, and just enjoying ourselves.










The next morning, we drank our coffee by the pool before checking out of the hotel. It was so relaxing and peaceful - we literally didn't know what to do with ourselves.


While taking a picture by the ring that was set up for the following week's Mayweather fight, Floyd himself walked right past us. He kept his head down like he didn't want to be bothered, but then he came out to the valet and stopped to see what attention he could get. He didn't get any, so he hopped in his Rolls and left. Not five minutes later, he rolled back into valet and headed back into the casino strutting his stuff this time around. He obviously wasn't happy that he didn't get any attention the first time around.



We spent the next few hours shopping at a couple of malls and buying more clothes than we needed, but, hey, they had a 50% off jeans sale. Who wouldn't have bought seven pairs?



I'd say our five year anniversary was perfect. We had such a great time with one another, and I couldn't possibly be more happy with my amazing, hard working, loving, strong, hilarious husband. We are so blessed beyond belief, and I wouldn't change this life for anything. Thanks for being the greatest husband and father, Isaac. I could not ask for more!

...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...
