Picture of the Week: Cereal with this Big Girl


Perry was exhausted after school, so we let her nap in the car while Grace and Char rode their bikes out front.


I made grilled chicken bruschetta with black beans, and it was delicious.


I made spaghetti for the kids, because I didn't think they'd eat the bruschetta. They did love the noodles, though, Especially Perry. She wasn't too happy when she was done and it was all over her baby belly.



After her bath, she fell asleep on me. She has started to say "I hold you, mama" and wants to lay on my chest while we rock instead of laying down. I love these sweet moments with my baby.


The next day, I threw some leftover chicken on a salad for lunch.


Grace joined Char for gymnastics on Tuesday, and they both had a blast.


We've been trying to eat healthier, and I've found that documenting it holds me a little more accountable. 


Wednesday, I made chicken meatballs marsala, and Isaac loved it.


We watched the Knights play, and the girls yelled each time they scored a goal. I love that my girls are so into the games. It's so fun to finally have a home team to root for!


Tacos were on repeat this week, since they're so easy. We should probably invest in some Cholula stock, though.


Perry slept like a little angel that night.


Gracie made some silly texts to sent to Auntie Allison and Uncle Alex on Friday.


We rented a 40 yard dumpster, and threw away everything in our house. OK. Not everything, but so.much.stuff. The girls were so excited about the dumpster and reorganizing their room and playroom. It feels so good to declutter and have some room to move around.



I wish I would have taken a before picture, because you could barely walk into this room. Now, Charley has her own bedroom, and we're slowly styling it her way. More to come on that soon.



Sunday morning, I sat with Perry while she ate cereal, and she had me cracking up acting like such a big girl.


We stopped by Grandma Espejo's since it was her birthday Saturday, and Perry loved playing with Brielle.


We finished up "Operation Clean House" on Sunday, and the dumpster was pretty full. We even gave Elijah and Ashley 7 pieces of furniture!



To top off our amazing weekend, the Knights took over first place in the NHL from Tampa Bay. Whoo Whoo!!


This week's post is short and sweet, because we literally spent most of our time cleaning and moving furniture. The whole house feels so much lighter. It was totally worth it!!

See ya next week <3

...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...
