Picture of the Week: Keto Pizza Face


Monday started out with this beautiful sunrise as we left for school.


We made zucchini noodles for dinner again with ribeyes this time.



The girls helped me bake a chocolate cake that night, and it was delicious! We used coconut oil, and it almost tasted like a German Chocolate Cake without the icing. We topped it with whipped cream and strawberries instead.



Grace brought home a puzzle with some of her favorite things for the pieces.


Charley brought home a mirror that says she's special because she likes hors and chedu (horses and cheetahs).


She also brought home this heart with the sweetest message.


Char enjoyed chocolate cake for dessert again that night.


I came across this and loved it. We're always stressing about getting things done and making everything perfect. It's a nice reminder to slow down and remember that everything will happen in God's time.


We caught another pretty sunrise on the way to school the next morning.


Grammy picked the girls up because we had Back to School Night and couldn't take them with us.


Char's class was up first, and she made the cutest self portrait.


Her favorite things included iscreme, mooves, firwrx, pece, and nits games. 


We left a little post it note on her desk for her to find the next morning and headed to Grace's class.


Gracie had a cute picture hanging on the board with her future profession - a teacher - written on it.


She also had this little journal in her desk that included some of her favorite things like her familey, peanut and jelley sandwiches, the color teal, and some cute stories that she wrote.




We got our best sunrise yet on Thursday morning, and the rays peaking out from the clouds were gorgeous.


I completed a Parent Quiz for Grace's homework where I had to try to guess her favorite things. I started off well, but the last few questions were all surprises.


We made a keto version of Outback's Alice Springs Chicken, and it was delicious!


Perry and I waited in the car for the girls to get back from school.


I thought this was pretty funny, because I've been drinking tons of water every day and have to go to the bathroom every five minutes.


We had our fantasy football draft party, so we came up with a keto-friendly snack to take.



Perry took a nap when we got home, because playing with her friends wore her out.


We celebrated Chad and Chad's 30th birthdays with a surprise party at my sister's house. Happy Birthday, guys!


I made more peanut butter chocolate balls, and Perry couldn't get her hands on them fast enough.



She read a book in the pantry, while we were making dinner.


We made pizza for dinner again Sunday night, and I think it might be Perry's favorite. She's seriously the best eater.



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
