2 Years Old!!

Wow! Hard to believe Abby is two years old! As you can tell we can't get her to sit still even to take pictures anymore. It was a struggle to get this shot! Good thing it's the last monthly picture.
Abby really has been a joy to our family and is such a sweet and loving soul. She has a mischievous streak too, though. We find that mischievous side is becoming more prevalent the older she gets! Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl!
 
Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

O.A.R. at Red Rocks!

This Saturday we completed one of our major bucket list items and attended a concert at Red Rocks, Colorado with one of our favorite bands performing, O.A.R. We made it to Denver Friday morning at 8:00 so we got to spend the whole day touring Dever and the surrounding Rocky mountains. Friday night we went to dinner at Elway's Downtown, the service and food were awesome. After dinner we headed to the Green Russell, which Moises had found to be this awesome "hole-in-the-wall" bar that doesn't have bartenders, but "mixologists". You tell them what you like to drink and they come up with their own concoction of a drink just for you. We didn't stay too long, though, the drinks were much stronger than your average bar!
As we expected Saturday was awesome as well, we explored the small town of Morrison, which is right outside the Red Rocks amphitheater. After our day of exploring we headed to the concert and it was the best concert either of us had been to. O.A.R. always puts on good shows, but everything about it was perfect, the venue, music, weather, company...it was just awesome!

Our perfect trip to Denver was over too quickly, as we had to get up at 4:30 AM to fly to Philadelphia for a business conference on Sunday. We didn't make it to our hotel in Philadelphia until about 5:00 PM so the whole day was pretty much shot and we were exhausted. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we spent in conference with some of our insurace carriers. We learned a lot and made a lot of great contacts, but we were ready to see our little girl come Thursday evening...plus we were ready to celebrate her birthday!

Much love,
Moises & Jennifer

Father's Day!

 Happy father's day to all those great dads out there! Daddy had been in Dallas the whole week before father's day and didn't arrive home until Saturday afternoon. Abby was super excited to see daddy especially when he brought in all the books that uncle Samuel sent to her! She loves books and didn't want to stop "reading" when we told her it was time to get ready for dinner. For Daddy's special day Mommy and Abby took him to Powerhouse Seafood Grill in Fayetteville. It was awesome food! We all had a great time together.

On Sunday we relaxed outside most of the morning and then headed to a baby shower for our friend's Jason & Pam, who are expecting in September. They did a special gender reveal, no one knew what the baby was going to be except Pam's sister so we were all excited to see that it's going to be a girl! Abby and all the other kids had a great time playing with all the balloons.

What a special weekend with family. Happy Father's day to Moises, Grandpa, Pop, Papa A and all the other great Fathers in our life!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Petropolitan


Petropolitan invitation
 
Tonight we attended the 4th annual PETropolitan event to benefit Kitties & Kanines. Mommy served on the committee to get the event ready. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. It turned out to be a great event and raised lots of money to benefit K&K, the low-cost spay/neuter clinic that serves the community. Daddy helped out too by serving as bartender for the evening and he did a great job!
 
Pet over population is a huge problem in the Fort Smith area, especially with cats. This clinic offers low cost options to lower income families to help prevent future litters of pets being put out to the streets because the owners cannot care for their pets. Not only does the clinic offer low cost spay/neuter, but they are also a full service vet clinic offering a variety of services.
