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...

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...
