Grace's First Vacation

By -
Grace's first vacation was a trip up to the cabin when she was almost three weeks old. Isaac got off early on Friday and we headed up there with my mom, stepdad, and sister. On the way up there, we stopped in Pintura so Grace could meet her Great Grandma, Great Grandpa, and Aunt Laura. We also took a four generation picture with Grandma.

After visiting with them for a couple of hours, we headed up the mountain to the cabin. It was a nice break for Isaac and I, because my mom helped put Grace to bed and watch her in the mornings so we could catch up on some much needed sleep. I also got some time to catch up on the blog a little bit while Grace played Hide and Go Seek with daddy.


On Saturday, Uncle Larry, Aunt Jessie, and Sydney came in from Texas to hang out for the weekend. We had such a fun time with them all. It was nice to see them and spend a whole weekend with them.

Sunday was the Fourth of July. We weren't allowed to have fireworks up there, so we made smores around the fire instead.

The last time we were at the cabin was over Thaksgiving weekend. I forgot how nice it was to get away for a weekend and enjoy the MUCH cooler weather. We had the best time up there and can't wait to do it again!

...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

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
