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...

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...
