Heatin' Up

Apparently, I forgot all about our trip to Reunion Trails splash pad last Sunday, because it didn't make it into the weekly update. I guess I'll just have to dedicate this post to the Sunday Funday instead.

We met up with my sisters, Alex, and Chase to spend Sunday afternoon at the splash pad. While we were walking there, Grace found a dandelion and insisted on making a wish.



It was such a beautiful, warm day, and the girls couldn't wait to play in the water. They looked so cute in their new suits.







We ran into Gracie's friend, Peyton, from school, and the girls ran all over the park playing.


Char was even brave enough to climb the rock wall by herself.


She played with Chase in the playground and showed him the ropes.




(This face cracks me up!)




We played with bubbles, and Charley chased them all over before blowing some herself.










When Peyton had to leave, Gracie joined us with her own Ariel bubbles. When did this girl turn into a teenager?!










Chase even got in on the bubble fun.




Once they were done with the bubbles, Daddy played in the water with them and even talked them into running through the water tunnels.






Charley was worn out after all the fun, and laid down on the swing to take a break.






One more trip around the splash pad, and we were ready to head home.




Charley looked so funny in her Ariel towel, so I had to snap a picture.


It was such a fun day with the kiddos, and I'm sure there are many more splash pad play dates in our future as it starts heatin' up around here.

...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...
