Picture of the Week: Cereal with this Big Girl


Perry was exhausted after school, so we let her nap in the car while Grace and Char rode their bikes out front.


I made grilled chicken bruschetta with black beans, and it was delicious.


I made spaghetti for the kids, because I didn't think they'd eat the bruschetta. They did love the noodles, though, Especially Perry. She wasn't too happy when she was done and it was all over her baby belly.



After her bath, she fell asleep on me. She has started to say "I hold you, mama" and wants to lay on my chest while we rock instead of laying down. I love these sweet moments with my baby.


The next day, I threw some leftover chicken on a salad for lunch.


Grace joined Char for gymnastics on Tuesday, and they both had a blast.


We've been trying to eat healthier, and I've found that documenting it holds me a little more accountable. 


Wednesday, I made chicken meatballs marsala, and Isaac loved it.


We watched the Knights play, and the girls yelled each time they scored a goal. I love that my girls are so into the games. It's so fun to finally have a home team to root for!


Tacos were on repeat this week, since they're so easy. We should probably invest in some Cholula stock, though.


Perry slept like a little angel that night.


Gracie made some silly texts to sent to Auntie Allison and Uncle Alex on Friday.


We rented a 40 yard dumpster, and threw away everything in our house. OK. Not everything, but so.much.stuff. The girls were so excited about the dumpster and reorganizing their room and playroom. It feels so good to declutter and have some room to move around.



I wish I would have taken a before picture, because you could barely walk into this room. Now, Charley has her own bedroom, and we're slowly styling it her way. More to come on that soon.



Sunday morning, I sat with Perry while she ate cereal, and she had me cracking up acting like such a big girl.


We stopped by Grandma Espejo's since it was her birthday Saturday, and Perry loved playing with Brielle.


We finished up "Operation Clean House" on Sunday, and the dumpster was pretty full. We even gave Elijah and Ashley 7 pieces of furniture!



To top off our amazing weekend, the Knights took over first place in the NHL from Tampa Bay. Whoo Whoo!!


This week's post is short and sweet, because we literally spent most of our time cleaning and moving furniture. The whole house feels so much lighter. It was totally worth it!!

See ya next week <3

...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
