Memorial Day

We celebrated the first weekend of summer with a sleepover and cookout with family. On Sunday Sally Kate came over for a sleepover with Abigail. Allison got to stay overnight at BB's by herself for the first time ever! She was so excited to have BB all to herself. We picked up SK on Sunday afternoon, got back to the house and immediately started swimming. The girls swam for hours, then we made smores and watched a couple movies. On Monday, we took the girls to Papa's grave to lay flowers and flags. Then in the afternoon, we had family over for a cookout and swimming. It was a great, but tiring weekend. We all went to bed early to recover!

Last day of school

Today was the last day of 1st grade for Abigail. She has worked so hard this year and learned so much. We are so proud of all her achievements and look forward to summer fun times!

Field Day

It's the next to last day of school for Abigail and the school had their annual field day. Each class contributed to a change drive to raise the money for the event and Abigail's class won. She did a lot of fundraising for the change drive and brought in $400 for her class. She was allowed to select the t-shirt color for her class and she picked green. Since her class raised the most money they also got an extra 30 minutes on the water slide. When we picked Abby up from school, she said that it was the best day ever! Our friend sent pictures of Abigail to us so we could see how much fun she was having!

Awards Assembly

Today we went to the end of year assembly and we are so glad we did. Abigail received her certificate for the principal's honor roll (all A's) for all year, perfect attendance and she received the Eagle Award for citizenship! Every teacher selects two students from the class who exemplify good citizenship, caring and helpful attitude. This year Abigail was one of the two students. We are so proud and excited for her. She was very proud of her achievement and afterward we took her for ice cream.

Abby's Birthday Party

Abby wanted to celebrate her birthday a little early this year so we had her party this past weekend at the Hog Wild Family Fun Center. Abby had been there with some friends earlier this year and she loved it. We had not been before, but it was a really cool place that had plenty of games to keep everyone interested. We ended up staying for most of the afternoon and the kids played and played and played! At the end of the day Abby said it was the best day ever!

Mother's Day

Happy mother's day to all the fabulous Mothers in our lives! This weekend daddy and the girls made mommy's weekend relaxing and wonderful. We went to brunch on Sunday and then swam afterward, thankfully the pool was much warmer than last weekend! Daddy made a delicious dinner Sunday night for all of us to enjoy. They make mommy's life super special.

Swimming!

The pool is finally open! The girls talked us into swimming this weekend and it was cold! It took dad and mom a while to get used to the water and even longer for our body temps to return to normal! We are looking forward to an awesome summer!

Allie Dresses Herself...

Allison has always been an independent girl and she's starting to extend that to her outfits. We have always let her select from a few options each day, but now she's rejecting the ones we offer and prefers to peruse her closet before she gets dressed in the morning. Her most recent selection was too cute!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
