Picture of the Week: Birthday Party Fun


Perry was being crazy before bed on Monday.


I saw this after I got her to sleep, and it perfectly fit my life at that moment.


Isaac and I went to the playoff game with Mom and Rick on Tuesday and watched the Knights get a 5-0 shutout! We had the best time as usual.





Perry crawled in bed with me when she saw that I had an ice cream cone and proceeded to eat it all.


Grammy took Grace and Charley up to Utah for a couple of days since they were on spring break. They got to spend time with Grandma Beth, Aunt Laura, and Aunt Jessie and had such a great time with them all.


Perry followed Daddy all around, and they sang songs while he pushed her on the swing. He painted a plan for the new plants he is going to install, and she copied him as he surveyed the yard.



Poppa and Gran came over to celebrate Easter on Friday and dye Easter eggs with the girls.


Perry ate as many as she colored.





They made so many pretty eggs and especially loved making the tie dye ones.




Perry ran around the house in her Vampirina costume like a crazy person.


We made cupcakes for Charley and Perry's party the next day, so I let Perry frost some. Isaac thought it was funny to hide corn nuts in two of them, and then he took them out of the oven and mixed them all up before he remembered. We had to buy cupcakes the next morning, because I didn't want to risk a little kid choking on a corn nut after he couldn't figure out which ones they were (insert eye roll here).


We celebrated Charley's 7th birthday and Perry's 3rd birthday a little early this year since we'll be having a baby right before both of them. We invited lots of friends and family to play at FlipN Out Xtreme, and they all got to run around jumping, climbing, and bouncing all over the place.








We had pizza and cupcakes with all of the kids before they got to run amok for another hour. It was the easiest party, and the girls had the best time playing with everyone.








Frannie and I got one last belly bump picture before the boys arrive. BFFs from the womb <3


Perry was exhausted and napped when we got home.


After her nap, we headed out to Papa Craig and Grandma Sunshine's to celebrate Easter with them. The kids got super fun baskets with all of their favorite things, had an egg hunt, and dyed Easter eggs.






Perry found the coveted golden egg and was so excited that she "won" the egg hunt.








We spent Easter Sunday celebrating with Papa Rick and Grammy and then again with Grandpa and Grandma Espejo. These kids sure did get spoiled this week! I hope they realize how lucky they are.

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
