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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
