Picture of the Week: Perr Perr and her Care Bears


Charley had her 100th day of school on Monday. We had to make a shirt with 100 things on it, and naturally, Charley wanted 100 sparkles. We used rhinestones to make her name, and also made a silly girl out of the numbers 1-0-0. She had the best time adding glue and glitter allll over the page.


That night, I made a turkey meatball veggie soup for dinner, and it was sooo good! We had enough leftovers that I was able to have it for lunch for the next few days, too.


Perry snuggled up extra close at bed time.


The next morning, she had me cracking up as she insisted on wearing her backpack around the house before school. She put the cherry on top when she put on her heart sunglasses and gave me the coolest smile ever.


Tuesday night we watched the Knights kick the Blue Jackets butts. Perry couldn't wait to turn the game on and came out of the room in her jersey screaming "Knightssss!".


She looked so cute when I picked her up from school. The kids were playing outside, and she had her jacket on with her hood.



I don't get to volunteer at the girls school as much as I'd like, so I'm always up for volunteering from home. Wednesday, I cut out hearts for Char's class while catching up on The Real Housewives. Best way to volunteer if you ask me!


Grandpa Espejo has been a little under the weather, and Gracie has really been worried about him. She made him this sweet card at school on Thursday.



We got our carpets cleaned that afternoon, and while the guys made my house look cleaner than ever, I made the yummiest dinner of white sweet potatoes, onions, pepper, and sausage. I've been trying to avoid carbs in the evenings, but this was definitely worth it.


I got my nails done, and my nail girl killed it with the Valentine's design, as usual.


Gracie's class took a field trip to the Rainforest Cafe, and she had so much fun! I love her teacher for posting pictures of all the fun stuff they do.





We went to Family Fun Night at the girls' school for kinder, first, and second grade on Friday, and we all had a blast playing BINGO. We seriously have the best school, teachers, and community EVERRR.






Perry was pooped after all the running around she did and passed out the second we got home.


She woke up Saturday morning with the best bed head you've ever seen.


My sister Allison and I spent Saturday painting Charley's new room. We just made one wall white and added some glitter in the paint. I'm hoping to finish up her room next weekend, and then I'll show it off!

Perry woke up with some fun bed head on Sunday morning, too.


We all got ready and headed to Town Square for brunch at Brio.



After we ate, we met up with Zac, Stef, and the kids at the park. The girls were so happy to have some play time with their cousins.


Grace and Char put on the best show for us in the little theater, too.





After our play date, we stopped at The Coffee Bean (our fav), for a quick pick me up. The girls devoured muffins, while I died over this caramel coconut blended coffee.



Back at home Perry ate some Funfetti cake and got all hopped up on sugar.


She watched Frozen in her bed, while I folded some laundry. The way she loves these Care Bears kills me!



That's all for now! 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
