Picture of the Week: Happy Birthday, Amelia!


Brother took a long nap at work on Monday.


Then he blew out his diaper while I was feeding him. Somehow, he missed me, but it did get all over my chair and the floor.


He hung out in his play mat on Tuesday.


When I picked Perry up from school, they had self portraits hanging on the wall, and hers had me cracking up. I love it so much!


Brother wasn't amused when Perry insisted that we watch Cinderella after school. Wherever you find him, you will always find her.



Toodles hung out on the floor next to Brother and made himself comfortable.


This guy fell asleep while I was burping him at work Wednesday.


Grace and Char had a petting zoo at Kid Zone and took pictures of the bunnies to show me.


Brother continued his nap fest at the office.


We got some much needed rain. It's been a really dry summer for us, and we're definitely missing the typical afternoon thunderstorms that we get this time of year. Perry especially loved splashing in the puddles.



I cut up some tomatoes for dinner, and these tiny hands kept stealing them.


Perr snuggled Bro Bro while they watched a movie.


Charley had him smiling up a storm before bath time.


Perry always wants to help feed him and decided to hold my boob like a bottle. She really thought she was being so helpful, so it was sweet.


Brother was all smiles on Thursday. I'm not sure why, because he didn't sleep very well the night before. Maybe he thought it was hilarious that he gets to nap all day, while I have to work.



We said some prayers before bed so he'd sleep better that night.


He ended up sleeping six hours straight, so I got lots of extra milk Friday morning. Too bad he refused to take a bottle every day this week. We finally just gave up trying.


Look at that big ole belly and milk drool. This kid is unbelievable.


Perry played her Osmo games. She loves them, and I love watching her imagination grow while she plays.


Brother was the happiest little guy Saturday morning.


Grace, Charley, and Presley stayed at Grandma Sunshine's to do a little back-to-school shopping to prep for the big day.


We celebrated Amelia's fourth birthday with a petting zoo party, and the kids had a blast.












Happy Birthday, Amelia!! We love you, sweet girl!

After that party, we headed to Charley's friend Sarah's birthday party at Lost Worlds. The kids had fun goofing around and eating pizza. Happy Birthday, Sarah!






Brother was exhausted after all that partying and took a good nap when we got home.


He woke up in a good mood again on Sunday and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, while Daddy and I tried to get a few more minutes of sleep.


Once Perry woke up, she insisted that he watch it sitting next to her.


We took the girls to Juan's Flaming Fajitas for lunch, and it was delicious, as usual.


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
