Halloween

We hosted Allison’s friends for Halloween again this year, and it seems like our little Halloween tradition gets bigger every year! Despite the rain, nothing could dampen their spirits. We made our way all around the neighborhood, and the girls came home with quite the haul of candy! Allison dressed up as Jason from Friday the 13th, complete with a bloody mask and machete. She definitely looked the part!

Meanwhile, Abigail spent Halloween at her friend Thien’s house, where the theme was Alice in Wonderland. Abigail dressed as the Queen of Hearts (a perfect match for her red hair!), while Thien went as Alice. The girls had a wonderful evening playing games, baking cookies, and watching TV.

It was a fun Halloween for everyone, and we love seeing the girls make these memories with their friends!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

National Honor Society

Our amazing Abigail was inducted into the National Honor Society this weekend. She is such a determined, hard working young lady and we couldn't be prouder of her dedication to her school work. We are very lucky to be her parents.

Much Love,

Garth on Tour

We were lucky enough to see Garth Brooks live in Tulsa this past weekend. We went with our friends Stuart and Tasha and stayed at their place overnight. Garth, as usual, put on a great show! He's one of our absolute favorites and it was special seeing him in his hometown.

Much Love,

Goodbye Plano

Well, we certainly never do anything the easy way! We decided to list our Plano townhome in mid-August since we hadn’t been using it much over the past couple of years. Much to our surprise, we received a great offer while we were traveling in Brazil! Not only did the buyers want a quick closing, but they also wanted to purchase most of our furniture!

Of course, our trip home from Brazil turned into quite the adventure with multiple travel cancellations. When we realized we weren’t going to make it back to Fort Smith as planned, Moises came up with a solution. He rented a U-Haul truck so we could pack up all of our personal belongings and bring everything home, rather than making a later weekend trip to make the move. Somehow, we managed to pack up the entire townhome in record time—just four hours! 

Selling the townhome was definitely bittersweet. We made so many wonderful memories there over the years, and it was hard to say goodbye to a place that had been such a special part of our lives. But we knew it was time to close that chapter.

Much Love,

Moises & Jennifer

On Location - Brazil

Mom and Dad headed down to Brazil for the Cowboys game against the Ravens on September 27. We left home on the 23rd but the flights were so long we didn't arrive in Rio until the late afternoon of the 24th. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we checked in, grabbed dinner, and headed to bed so we could rest up for our early tour to Christ Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. It was a bit chilly in the morning and on top of the  mountain but the views were breathtaking. Saturday we spent exploring the city of Rio and walked by the beach. Sunday was the game and Dad's birthday! What an experience. We had an extremely difficult time finding our seats and the language barrier did not help. Fortunately, we made it to the seats before kickoff. Even if the outcome of the game was not what we wanted, we enjoyed attending an overseas game! On our return flight we had more travel disruption when our flight was cancelled and we ended up stranded in Sao Paulo. 

We were so glad to finally return home on Thursday even though it was a longer travel experience than we planned. Fortunately, the girls (and pups) were well taken care of because Bibi & Jorge came up from San Antonio to stay with them while we were out of town. Brazil was definitely beautiful and a great way to celebrate Dad's birthday. 

Much Love,

Dad's Birthday

Since we were going to be out of town for Dad’s birthday, we celebrated a little early with a special dinner and presents at home. Of course, we made sure he still had cards to open on his actual birthday!

We love every opportunity to celebrate Dad. He is such a wonderful husband and partner to Mom and an amazing father to the girls. We are so lucky to have him and hope he knows just how much he is loved and appreciated!

Much Love,

Jennifer
