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

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
