Picture of the Week: Evening Family Walks Are the Best


Grace had an orthodontist appointment on Monday where we found out that we needed to keep turning her expander for another three weeks. Perry and Charley made friends in the waiting room, while they waited for Gracie.


That night I asked Perry how much she loved me, and her reply was, "4".


After work on Tuesday, we went for a walk up the hill to the water tower. It was storming around us, and there was a pretty rainbow that kept getting brighter as we went.






This hill is so tough. We definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. The kids only went half way and then stopped to watch me go by myself.


Charley went back to the hill with me on Wednesday and went all the way to the top this time.


We played outside on Thursday, and Perry wanted to ride her scooter. She loves to play on this thing and asks every time we get home, "can I play outside for a yittle bit?".


When we went inside, we worked on colors, and I was surprised that Perry knew them all so well.


We had some friends over for game night on Saturday, and we grilled hot dogs and hamburgers while the kids played.





We played Pictionary and did girls versus boys. We had so much fun and laughed SO hard.

We were sitting there playing when it started pouring rain all of the sudden. We went outside to see lightning and listen to the thunder. I love monsoon season, because we get random thunderstorms almost daily.


Perry fell asleep quickly that night after being worn out from playing with her buddies.


I caught Charley and Perry laying on the couch singing together, and it was so sweet.


The girls went over to Grandma Espejo's to swim, so I got to relax and enjoy a quiet bath all to myself.



That's all for now! See ya next week.

...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...
