A&M vs. Arkansas

Today we continued our annual tradition of attending the A&M/Arkansas game. It was a little different this year since it wasn't at Cowboys Stadium, so we packed up and headed to College Station around 6:30 am. It was a rainy, drizzly day and we considered turning around. We are so glad we didn't because even through the pouring rain we had a blast. It was the 4th annual meeting of our teams and was the first time Arkansas played at Kyle field since 1991. Up to this point Arkansas has won the last three years, but all that changed today when A&M delivered a severe whipping of 58-10. Next year it's up to Fayetteville and then finally back at Cowboys Stadium. We love continuing our yearly tradition!

Much love,

15 Months Old!

Abby is now 15 months old. We had her checkup and all is well with her growth and developmental milestones. Abs has apparently gone through a big growth spurt in the last few months and has shot up to 80th percentile for height, which schocked both of us as she usually sits around 50th in all categories. With her checkup Abs also had to get her shots; she took them like a champ but they knocked her down pretty hard this time around and she was pretty fussy most of the evening.

Daddy's Birthday

Today was daddy's birthday so Abby decided to get him a sweet card. These were the pictures of Abs giving daddy his card, she can really write well for a fifteen month old!

Mommy & Daddy are planning on having a nice, romantic dinner to celebrate his big day. Happy birthday to the best daddy and husband anyone could have!!

Blast from the Past

BB found a set of mommy's clothes from when she was a little girl last week. When BB gave them to us, we thought it'd be fun to see what Abby did when we put them on her. Surprisingly, she kept the hat and booties on much longer than we thought she would and pranced around the living room tugging on the jacket. Guess the outfit will go back into storage now!

Much love,

We love the outdoors

The weather has been nothing short of fantastic for the last week or so. It's finally cooled down enough that we can all play outside without being overheated. Abs especially loves it because she's finally over her aversion to grass and now explores everything about the back yard, dirt, rocks, plants...Her favorite thing so far? Collecting sticks. She will grab every stick she sees until she has 10 in her hand. Her other favorite thing to do is to play catch with the dogs. She's not great at throwing the ball, but she is getting better day by day.




Her vocabulary is also getting better daily. She now can identify "fish" and "duck" and can also sort of say "durazno" Spanish for peach (mommy is being very lenient with Abby's pronunciation here!). At school her teachers tell us that she loves to go to all her friends and pat them on the head before nap time. We can't imagine where she picked this up, but think it sounds precious!
Much Love,

Reecie is one!!

This weekend Mommy, Abby & Papa A drove to Houston to celebrate sweet cousin Reece's first birthday. The theme was cupcakes and she was the cutest cupcake baby ever. Reece had a blast with all the people, presents and food. We were so happy to be there to celebrate with her. 

As usual, Abs and Reecie enjoyed each other's company and particularly enjoyed it when Chia was sharing her yummy morsels. Happy Birthday, Reece!

Of course, Daddy was missed this weekend. He was celebrating Texas A&M's first home game of the season. Unfortunately, the outcome was not good for the Aggies or the Razorbacks this weekend. Hopefully, the season will turn around for both our teams.

Much love,
Moises & Jennifer

Stomach Bugs

This Labor Day weekend the family spent most of the time in the house as little missy brought home a nasty stomach bug from our week in the Caribbean. The only silver lining was that Abby is the only one that caught it, so Mommy & Daddy were able to focus on getting her better. She spent most of Thursday to Sunday without a diaper as she also got a terrible diaper rash so we let her go without the diapers to help heal the tush. The dogs were her constant companions as she snacked on Cheerios and puffs in the floor this weekend. 

Fortunately, by Monday punky was feeling much better and was back to climbing on boxes and running around the house. The only downside to the weekend without diapers is that she didn't want to wear them anymore by the time Monday rolled around! Potty training will be kicking into high gear!

Much love,
