A Rockin' Fiesta

By -
Since Perry was born on Cinco de Mayo, she's pretty much stuck with that party theme for life. Her birthday fell on a Saturday this year, which was perfect for an all out fiesta. We got lots of balloons, carne asada, and margaritas, and I even made her birthday cake all by myself!






While I made margaritas, Daddy worked on the food, and it looked so delicious.







Everyone ate a ton, and the kids had a blast jumping on the trampoline, while the grown-ups played a few games of flip cup and beer pong.








Soon, it was piñata time. Perry got to go first, and she loved swinging the huge stick. After her, we went in order from smallest to biggest of the kids, and they all had so much fun.












Charley was able to take a leg off on her turn.




Of course Easton busted the whole thing wide open, and then the kids went crazy.






We had the best time celebrating with everyone.






It was finally time for cake, and Perry wasn't sure what to think when everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" to her. She blew her candle out, and I helped her pick it up to lick the icing off.




This crazy kid thought the candle was candy and tried eating it. I had to take it away pretty quickly and swap it out for a piece of cake.



The kids played, the adults played, and we all had the best time.










We ended the night binge-eating guacamole, which is the best way to end a night, in my opinion.


Happy Second Birthday, Perr! Some day you're going to want a different party theme, but until then, we'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a rockin' fiesta!

...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
