So Many Cousins {Happy Easter}

By -

Easter Sunday was a big event, as usual. The girls woke up with gifts from the Easter bunny, including Golden Knight shields and swords, LOL Dolls, and cute new swim suits.




Of course we had to open the toys right away and see which LOL Dolls the bunny brought.



Perry liked her chocolate bunny the best.


After we all got ready to head out of the house for the day, the girls spotted some eggs in the back yard. We had a quick egg hunt before we had to leave.









Our first stop of the day was Grammy and Papa Rick's. We hung out for a while before enjoying a yummy lunch with ham and all the sides. Then we had another egg hunt with all the cousins. The girls got super cute outfits, swim suits, and all kinds of fun goodies in their baskets.











That afternoon, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Espejo's where the kids got to hunt for even more eggs. They got more baskets with more clothes and goodies and had fun playing with more cousins.











We celebrated Easter with Poppa and Gran and Grandma Sunshine and Papa Craig in the days before, so we weren't so crazy running around on Easter Sunday. We got to spend the whole weekend with lots of family time, which always makes our hearts full. Even though it can be chaotic at times, we are so lucky to have so many grandparents so close to us. The girls get so much love, and we all enjoy spending time with each of them.

I love that the girls have so many cousins to play with, because I remember spending time with all of my cousins as a kid, and they were some of my favorite times. They just keep on coming, too. We'll be adding a few more the rest of this year, and we can't wait. Our family sure has been blessed.

Happy Easter!

He is risen!

...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
