Picture of the Week: Fun at the Aquarium


We caught a beautiful sunrise on our way to school Monday morning. We're getting to the point where it's going to be dark when we leave the house soon.


Char had soccer practice, and the sky was all sorts of pretty colors.


We made fajitas for dinner, and nothing beats the smell of peppers and onions sizzling.


Perry was a goofball in the car while we waited for sisters to get back from school.


We drove to Springs Preserve on Saturday for a fun day with our field trip group, and Perry insisted on wearing Daddy's glasses the whole way.


We had bunless cheeseburgers and berries for lunch.


Perry napped in bed, while I watched the Sooners play some football.


We had a date night with some friends that night, and the drinks and tapas at Firefly were delish. After dinner, we headed to the Fiesta where we ended up in the bingo room. It was my first time, and I couldn't believe how fast they go. I could barely keep up with my dobber, let alone check to see if I had any actual bingos. It was fun nonetheless.





The girls had fun with Brielle at Grandpa and Grandma Espejo's house that night.



Perry and Brielle stayed up really late, so Perry napped hard when she got home.


Later that morning, we met Poppa Allen and Gran and the Halls at Seaquest Aquarium. The girls loved petting the lizards while we waiting in the short line.



Inside, we saw more lizards, lots of fish, and even a scary looking eel.




The girls took turns being too afraid to touch the lobster.


We fed some stingrays and small sharks, and this was easily my favorite part.





As we walked through the aquarium, we saw chickens, more lizards, and a huge tortoise.








Daddy and the girls were fascinated by the snakes, but I stayed far away.



I was more into watching the seahorses and jellyfish.




The girls got to pet some capybaras, and after getting over their initial fear of them, they loved them and didn't want to leave.






We checked out some starfish and got some fish food to get a closer look at some of the fish.



We ended up back at the stingray and shark tank to feed them some more. This time, there was a real life mermaid swimming around the tank.





The tortoise walked by on our way out and was so cute. I just love his old man face.



We got to pet one more lizard as we left.



The girls had a really fun week! That's all for now.

See ya next time :)

...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...
