Picture of the Week: Escaping the Heat at Mount Charleston


Grandma Sunshine took the girls to Mount Charleston on Monday to celebrate Grace's birthday. They had a picnic and kicked around a soccer ball. It was a nice escape from the heat, and the girls had so much fun!





That night, we made sausage and peppers for dinner, and Perry loved to watch them bake in the oven.


She has been obsessed with Baby Shark lately, and the rest of us are so over it.


We got to school early almost every day this week and had to wait in the car for it to open. We passed the time by playing with face filters on my phone.



Perry brought home the cutest Fourth of July handprint and colored an American flag for us to hang on the fridge.



Charley made this video where you are supposed to do something to earn points. She couldn't figure it out and got so mad at the end. Isaac and I watched this over and over, laughing harder each time.


We celebrate the Fourth of July at the Westin pool with our friends, and followed our day of fun in the sun up with fireworks in our neighborhood.

We made more videos in the car before school on Thursday.


Poppa and Gran came over for dinner, and the girls taught them all about face filters.




Perry randomly got sick Friday night and started coughing and throwing up with a terrible runny nose. We hung out at home Saturday, and she napped the day away.


She randomly woke up that evening feeling totally fine and back to normal. It was the weirdest thing. We watched a UFC fight, and she was so funny with her commentary.


Sunday, the girls wrestled with Daddy while getting ready to head to the splash pad.


They had fun running and jumping through the water until the lightning and thunder got too bad, and we had to leave.





We stopped in the grocery store to grab a few things, and Perry stole this apple and ate it while we shopped.


When we got home, the girls and I made my Grandma's lemon dribble cake. They loved mixing it up and of course, licking the bowl clean.





We had a nice relaxing week hanging out at home after the past few super busy weeks. It was a nice change of pace.

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
