Downtown Container Park

By -
Since the weather has been so beautiful lately, we decided to meet my sisters at Downtown Container Park. None of us had been, and we were surprised with a Chinese New Year lion parade that started as we were walking in. The girls loved it!





Char even got a kiss from one.




After the parade, we stopped in a candy store and got some candy necklaces and alligator pops that would entertain them while we walked around.


We came across this huge tree house with slides, and the girls loved climbing all over it. Isaac took Chase down the slides, but he wasn't impressed.






Whenever Charley sees a baby, she immediately starts playing peek-a-boo. It's really the cutest thing you'll ever see. She's the sweetest girl around.


Once the kids were all tuckered out, we headed back to our table to sip on some beers and relax in the sun. I don't think the day could have been more gorgeous.








After some strawberry lemonade, the girls were ready for round two. They made some friends and built these fun tunnels to crawl through.







Charley saw the bigger kids playing this game where you hit the button when it lights up and decided to join in. 



Grace came to get her, and it was back to the tree house for more running and climbing.











Whenever Grace gets worn out, she starts to stare off in to space and tells me, "my eyes are blind, mom!". This is how I know she needs a nap.


The girls hopped in their stroller, and we wandered to the other side of the park where there was a big field, some couches, and a toy store. We grabbed a couch and got some fun toys for the kids (and the grown ups) to play with.











I got Chase some little cars, and he looked like such a big boy running around with the girls.


We used the foam blocks to build a slide for their new balls, and they had fun chasing them around.



We also got these little flyers, so of course it turned into a battle to see who could get theirs higher (Isaac won).





We stayed for dinner and until it was dark.


Who knew this place was so much fun. We spent the entire day playing and enjoying some beers along with the sunshine. I think we can add another place to our list of favorite things to do outdoors in Las Vegas!

...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...
