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...

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...
