Moving & Shaking

 We had such a great weekend together as a family. Daddy & mommy were able to get some much needed work done in the backyard and we also got to spend lots of great quality time together. Abby is really "cruising" around furniture and is pulling up everywhere. She loves helping put dishes away in the dishwasher and playing with cups in the kitchen while mommy makes dinner. Our favorite thing that she's doing is crawling up to us and literally trying to climb up our legs.

She's also figured out how to look in her toy box of goodies and pull out all the fun toys inside, boy we're really excited she's figured this one out. Unfortunately, she's also started getting into places she's not supposed to, like electrical sockets. So, we've started learning the word "no" and it really is harder on us then her. I guess our parents were right!

Much love,

Red Clovers of Arkansas

Since we took pictures of Abs in the Blue Bonnets of Texas it only seemed fitting that we needed to get pictures of her in the Red Clovers here in Arkansas. Jennifer's grandfather loved the red clovers and always said they were a favorite of his cattle during the springtime. So these pictures are for him.

Gig 'Em Rick!

Tonight we got the pleasure of attending the annual Lincoln Day dinner in Fort Smith. This year's guest speaker was Rick Perry. Moises was super excited to see fellow Aggie and current Texas govenor up close and personal. We even got to speak with him for a few minutes before the event to discuss Aggie football and their brilliant move to the SEC. Mr. Perry was very nice and excited to see another Aggie in Razorback land. We had such a great evening and got to see lots of great people!

Abby had a great evening too! Her date for the night was her Uncle Eric, who was sweet enough to come over and watch Abs while mommy & daddy were out for the evening. Abby said she had a great time with her Uncle Eric and can't wait to see him again. Thank you Eric! We love you!

Much Love,

Another one off the menu!

Well, we can mark another food item off Abby's menu. The culprit this time was egglant. The picture says it all. We got the call from school that whatever mommy put in her school bag for lunch was not agreeing with sweet Abby's face and they sent over this picture! Yikes...definitely taking eggplant off the menu. Fortunately, the rash was mostly gone by the end of the day, so she was back to her normal self by evening.

Much love,

Abby's First Easter

This past weekend at Casa Ledezma was again filled with firsts.  Abigail experienced her first Easter and was able to enjoy it with two of her cousins.  Cousins Ella and Scarlett made the trip from Houston to spend some time playing and having a good time.  Abigail had her first play time with Ella with big girl toys.  Abigail even tried bringing Scarlett in on the fun, however Scarlett had other ideas in mind (visual description below).  Something tells us that next Easter promises to be an exciting time for these three.

Play Time

 Come on Scarlett, lets play.

Timid steps

Our sweet punky continues to take steps towards independence and now she's literally trying to take steps on her own. She's been walking around objects and even stands alone for a couple seconds at a time. Now, she's trying to walk between objects. Daddy snapped these pictures of her playing on her chaise lounge when all of a sudden she tried to walk over to her toy box.

"Daddy, I'm going to try something here..."

"Well, that didn't turn out like I planned..."

After all that, Abby needed a quick snack to get her energy back up...

 

Abby just hamming it up for the camera.

Blue Bonnets of Texas

Well, it's Blue Bonnet season in Texas. It's one of our favorite times of year because the beautiful blue/purple blooms can be seen everywhere. Mommy has been dying to get photos of Abs amongst the blooms and we finally did this morning. The ground was still wet with dew and we didn't put Abby on a blanket so she wasn't super thrilled with that. She was so into looking at the flowers that it was difficult for us to get her to look at the camera, much less smile. Fortunately, she's such a cutie that it doesn't even matter.

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer
