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...

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...
