Picture of the Week: Back to School


The girls had their first day of school, and it went great.

Monday, we started the Keto diet. I don't like to call it that, because we aren't on a "diet". We are eating minimal carbs (under 20g per day) and high fat and are also mostly feeding our kids the same thing. Watch The Magic Pill on Netflix, and you'll get it. We're buying as organically and wholly as possible with the least amount of chemicals in our foods in an effort to keep our bodies healthy and our minds working at their best.

We started off by letting some pork cook in the slow cooker all day and made some zucchini noodles to go with it. It was delicious, and at least Perry couldn't get enough. Grace and Char fought us on the zucchini a bit, but they both ended up eating some in exchange for dessert (chocolate peanut butter balls that we homemade with no sugar and added MCT oil).



Perry insisted on wearing her lamb slippers to school on Tuesday, so I just stuck her moccs in her backpack. It's all about picking your battles with a two-year-old.


When I picked her up from school, she and Acelyn were coloring jellyfish, which Perry was very proud of.



Grace started soccer practice up again that evening at Acacia Park.



Perry made a crab at school on Wednesday, and, again, was very proud of it.


When we got home, she asked to talk to Amelia, so we sent her a video.


Thursday, Perry was being silly before school, while we waited for sisters to finish getting ready.


That afternoon, she was "working" up front when I picked her up from school.


She sang "Kiki, do you love me?" while we were laying in bed that night.


We took some silly pictures.


This girls...always rolling her eyes at me.


Grace's class worked on getting to know one another and created a web of information.


We watched Ava on Friday night, and the girls had a blast playing with her.



Saturday morning we took a walk up to the water tower, and the girls rode their bikes.



I always get anxious when Perry goes running down this steep hill, so I made Daddy run with her.


We went to Brio at Town Square for lunch and stopped by the Raiders store, where everyone got some gear.


Perry napped the afternoon away.


We went to watch Toy Story in the park with the Kelton's and Lukses and made sure to bring some drinks along. Charley crashed as soon as we got there.



Sunday, Perry was playing dress up in the play room, and then came downstairs so show me her purse.


We searched through our Keto recipe books before going grocery shopping, and Perry helped us pick out some dinners.


She napped in her bed after we got home from the store.


We made homemade pizza for dinner, and everyone loved it.



This week was a success! 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
