Picture of the Week: Ice Skating Party at City National Arena


Isaac was talking to the girls about manifesting and how you can do/have anything you want if you truly believe in yourself and the goal you are trying to attain. Grace came home from school every day telling him how she was trying to manifest a sushi dinner, so we took the girls to I Love Sushi one night. All three of them love this place.



Saturday we stopped by Grandma Sunshine's new house. She was moving and needed Daddy's help with the dryer. Grace and Char loved the trees out back and swung around on them like monkeys.


Perry was reading me a book before she got distracted by the marker on her belly. She saw it and said "someone colored on my belly!". Grace told me the day before that she had colored on the wall upstairs, so I quickly reminded her that the mark on her belly was her own doing.


We hit the twenty-two week mark with baby number four. I've finally stopped taking my nausea medicine and am feeling much better, other than being pretty tired all the time. I never got that second trimester surge of energy this time around, and I'm missing it. Baby is growing great, and I feel him moving around in there more and more every day. Only Charley and Perry have felt him from the outside so far. Char thought it was the coolest thing. Perry just puts her hands on my belly and tells us that he's kicking her every time. She asked us if we could take him out to play the other day, which was pretty funny. The heartburn has come on strong, but it's better some days than others. I'm trying to only take Tums before bed, but I foresee myself taking a lot more of them in the coming weeks.


Sunday we went to City National Arena to celebrate Nolan's fifth birthday. The girls had the best time being loud and crazy in the locker room, eating pizza, and ice skating around the rink. Perry also got her first baby braids, and they were the cutest.




Happy Birthday, Nolan!!




Char was a little skeptical since she got a concussion the last time we were here. I reminded her that she had been ice skating since then, and she reminded me that it wasn't on this ice. After a few laps around with Mommy and Daddy holding her hands, she was all about it and went around on her own. I was so proud of her for being so brave.



Perry on the other hand put in zero effort and got Daddy to push her around the ice the whole time.




We had such a fun day, and Perry was exhausted. She fell asleep really early watching movies in her bed.


Another fun week with minimal pictures on my part. Give me a few weeks. I promise I'll get better about taking more.

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
