The Espejos

Twice a year, Isaac and I go to a 'beer walk' with our best friends. A beer walk is a festival where you pay at the door, receive a glass, and walk around to about thirty different brewery booths.  Some are local while some travel all the way across the country.  We always have ThEe bEsT time because the walks are held at Montelago Village in Lake Las Vegas. It is so beautiful there, and since they are always in March and November, the weather is also perfect . This happened to be Grace's third beer walk. She went with us in November and last March when I was six months pregnant. We went early to spend some time enjoying the weather with Grace before the drinking began. An hour later, our friends arrived and we even got my mom and sister to come spend the day with us. We enjoyed some beer, ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant. and had an awesome time with our friends. Since this is one of our favorite things to do, we are already counting down the days until t...

I thought she'd never crawl. Grace is so close to walking that I was sure she'd skip this step. She has been kind of scooting around for the past few days, but now she's a full on crawler. AND I managed to capture her FIRST time fully crawling on video (probably because I've AlWAyS got the camera in her face)!! Enjoy :)

...Grace and I spent a lot of time outside playing in the backyard due to the amazingly BeAuTiFuL weather we've been having. ...I celebrated my twenty-fifth birthday . ...we took Grace to lunch at Town Square. ...Grammy brought Grace her very own picnic basket. She loves to chew on all of the pretend food and take pretend sips of her lemonade. ...my grandma made me one of her famous strawberry pies. If you've ever had it, you know there is NoThiNg that comes close to its deliciousness: ...Grace started squealing. When you tell her you are going to get her and come at her slowly, she shrieks in anticipation of your kisses. Here's a shot of her in action: ...she also got to meet Jojo Kitty. He was our cat until we found out that we were having Grace. We passed him around the family, and he ultimately ended up back at my mom's house. Apparently there is some old wives tale about cats and them sucking the air out of a baby while he/she is sleeping. Not s...

On my twenty-fifth birthday, people kept asking me how it felt to be twenty-five. I wasn't sure how I felt. ...Until I looked at my life and what I've accomplished. When I was a young girl, I always said that I'd get married and have a baby before I was twenty-five. I said that I'd be graduated from college, in love with my life, live in a beautiful house, rock at my job, have amazing friends, and remain super close with my family. You know what? That's exactly where my life has taken me. Who does that? Like, who can sit there when they are ten years old, dream up the perfect life, and then actually make it happen. I'm so fortunate to have accomplished so much. My favorite accomplishment is definitely this cupcake: To celebrate the big "turning a quarter of a century old" birthday, my closest friends and I went over to my mom's house to enjoy the gorgeous weather and just hang out. Isaac made the infamous "Ron Ron juice": ...

Another day, another photo shoot with Gracie Poo Teddy Bear Cutie Pants. Enjoy... These pictures are so precious. My little stinker is really getting a HUGE personality, and she loves to show off. She laughs all the time, and gets this look when she does something on her own that shows that she is just beaming with pride. I love spending every moment with her, and watching her grow and learn new things. I think it fascinates me just as much as her when she discovers something new. I can't get over her. I am totally, absolutely  IN LOVE  with this adorable little person that consumes my life <3
