Picture of the Week: Baby Shower Bumpin'


We hung out at Grammy and Papa Rick's since Auntie Andrea and Uncle Dan were still in town. Perry and Kaitlyn played together out in the playhouse and watched movies.


Gracie had a scrimmage instead of regular soccer practice, so we all went to watch her.


Perry slept over at Grandpa and Grandma Espejo's (without big sisters!) with Brielle, and they had the best time playing together.


Isaac coached Char's soccer game since Coach Deedra was out of town. They ended up with a score of 0-0 which actually made for an exciting defensive game.



Daddy took Perry to the car wash, and they even wore matching shirts.


I saw this and loved it. It's a good reminder not to get upset about the little things, because soon enough, the girls aren't going to want us around all the time. (I secretly hope that they think we're really cool and love having us around all the time as they get older!)


My mom and sisters threw us the cutest Golden Knights themed baby shower. We had a blast with all of our family and friends, and the decorations were perfect.




Mom made a Knightly Menu to go with our barbecue lunch that was too cute.


The girls loved running amok with their friends, and we played super fun games like "what candy bar is in the diaper" and "bobbing for nipples".








One of the games was chugging apple juice through a baby bottle. We decided to let the kids get in on this one, but Papa couldn't resist.




Geni made the cutest shirts for all of the cousins to wear. It's crazy to think that #7 will be here before we know it, and then #8 and #9 before this year is over.



Frannie and I finally got to be pregnant together, and it's been fun to experience this journey with her. Between the two of us, there are three boys coming, which will almost even out our mix of kiddos. We've had just girls for so long, that'll it will be interesting to add so many boys all at once. We're both so excited and can't wait to meet these little guys!


Geni took Grace to the Henderson St. Patrick's Day carnival after the shower, and she had fun hanging out with Chase and Kait Kait on the Ferris Wheel. 



Sunday morning, we continued "Baby Shower Weekend" with a Two Peas in a Pod shower for Frannie. It was so cute, and she got some awesome baby gear for the twins. 



When we got home, Daddy decided that he wanted his car washed, and the girls couldn't wait to help.




One by one, the Sebastian boys came over to help, and soon they were all getting soaked and throwing soap-filled sponges all over the place.



Gracie tried out her hover board for the first time and did so good!


We had such a great week! Thanks so much to my mom and sisters for throwing our baby shower. We got all kinds of boy stuff, and had a great time celebrating our final baby with everyone!

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...
