Picture of the Week: Breakfast Brunch Cheers


Perry and I snuggled while watching movies on the couch.


The girls got me some pretty flowers for my birthday. Daddy helped hide them Monday night so I could be surprised by them on Tuesday morning when I woke up.


I also woke up to a gorgeous sunrise that day.


A couple of months ago, Isaac and I taught the girls about Elvis and Johnny Cash. Ever since, they've all been obsessed with Johnny Cash, and Perry asks for Ring of Fire every time she gets in the car.


Gracie got a new dress that she had been waiting for and couldn't wait to try it on when we opened the mail.


Isaac had a fun event with the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association where they had a clay disk shooting tournament to raise money for the homeless.


Perry and I watched Frozen Fever over and over and over. It's less than ten minutes long, and she insists on watching it again every time it ends.



Gracie went to paint and cookies at school with the Sebastians and had the best time with her buddies. Thanks so much for taking her, Shelly!



Meanwhile, the rest of us went to Chase's first t-ball game of the season. I love how into the game he is and watching his little legs run so quickly around the bases.




Saturday, we had a surprise baby shower lunch for my sister Andrea and her husband Dan, since they were in town for the weekend. It was so pretty and went beautifully. We're so excited to meet baby Piper and for them to experience parenthood in a few months.





Anna and Jack Sparrow even made an appearance. Unfortunately, Perry had a tummy ache and wasn't feeling like herself. After they left, she kept saying that she didn't get a picture with them.











Charley found the extra clothespins and was so excited to win until she found out the prize was just soap.


Perry fell asleep on the way home and didn't feel great until the next morning.


Gracie had a sleepover at one of her friends' houses where they did make-up and had a fashion show.


Sunday, we walked through the Venetian, and the girls were obsessed with Nectar Bath Treats.


We had brunch at Buddy V's with Grandma Sunshine and Papa Craig to celebrate Isaac and my birthdays. The kids all got strawberry lemonades and loved the fancy glasses that they came in.


They didn't have strawberries in the buffet, so Perry got the waitress to bring her a plateful.




We had our maternity photo shoot with my sister, and she got the prettiest shots of us at the Wetlands. Thanks again, Andrea!

Charley left this gem of a picture on my phone, which made Isaac and I both laugh out loud when we saw it.


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
