A&M vs. Arkansas & Daddy's Birthday!

Another busy weekend! Mommy & daddy were down in Dallas this weekend to attend the A&M Arkansas game, attend the Chicago Bears game and they had meetings in Dallas on Monday. Abigail stayed with BB & Papa for the weekend since she had to be back in school on Monday. We took Allie to stay with Grandma & Grandpa at Saul's house. They also had Nate with them so she had a playmate all weekend. Judging by the pictures they sent us, they had a fun time playing together. While we were in Dallas, Abigail help BB & Papa plant a brand new tree in our back yard. Our old tree died so it's been very barren in our backyard. The new tree looks great!

 

Daddy & mommy celebrated his birthday on Friday just the two of us and then headed to the A&M game on Saturday night. It was another win for the Aggies and they thoroughly beat the Razorbacks. So it was a nice early birthday present for him! Kurt & Sarah were also at the game. Sarah came up to see us during the game, but Moises & Kurt have an agreement not to see each other during or after the game...so he didn't make it up. It's just better that way, they both take football very seriously!

 

We headed back to Arkansas on Tuesday after we picked Allison up from Saul's. Once we made it back into town, we went to dinner with the girls and BB & Papa to celebrate daddy's birthday. He got his favorite strawberry cheesecake as a special treat. We were so happy to have our family unit back together just in time to celebrate his birthday. He's so special to mommy and the girls and it is always good to take time to acknowledge what a great daddy & husband he is.

 

Much Love,

Fun Weekend

This weekend Daddy took Abby to the Aggie game. She always likes to go so he tries to take her at least once a year. The game was at 11 o'clock on Saturday so they left for College Station right after school on Friday. They stayed with Samuel and Abigail loved his house. She said he had all her favorite books and movies. At the game Abigail screamed so loud she nearly busted daddy's ear drum!

 

Meanwhile, Mommy and Allie stayed home. On Friday night we had a dance party, that girl loves to dance. Then on Saturday we headed to the mall, the girls were in desperate need of new socks and Allison needed some pants. The girl is growing so fast and we can't keep her in pants or shoes! Even though she didn't go to the game, Allison still supported the Aggies!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was busy...well, the past week was busy! Mommy & daddy had meetings in Dallas on Thursday and Friday this week so we drove down Wednesday with Allison. We dropped Allie off with Grandpa while we went to our meetings. Abigail stayed up in Arkansas with BB & Papa so she could go to school. Then they drove down on Friday night.

 

Abby missed us so she slept in our room on Friday. Then daddy & mommy got up to head down to College Station on Saturday for the Aggie vs. UCLA game. It was a great time. We cheered our hearts out for the Aggies and they won! It was a long day, though and we didn't get back home until around midnight.

 

We got up on Sunday morning to go pick up Allie girl. We were so excited to see her and have our family back together! Allison had a great time with Grandpa, Samuel and Saul.

 

On Monday, BB invited some work friends over. They have two kiddos a little bit older than Allison. Abigail enjoyed being the "mother hen", but Allison was not so sure of the new kids and watched them with a wary eye! All in all, it was a great weekend, but we're ready to go back to work to get some rest!

18 Months Old!

One year and half...that's how old our Allie girl is. This month was a transition for Allison, we have taken her completely off bottles.  She was down to bottles only in the morning and before bed, but that's also the only way she would drink milk. Now, she refuses milk when it's in a sippy cup! She does like to drink water and juice, so she's still getting hydration. The other change for Allison is that her big sister moved to a different school this month. Allison still continues to look around for her Abigail, but we know she'll adjust. Allison's vocabulary continues to grow and she continues to jabber in a language that we don't understand. It will be interesting to see when she can speak well, what she's been saying all this time!

 

Much Love,

Birthday Party

This weekend Abigail was invited to her friend, Isaac's birthday party. Isaac's mom was kind enough to include Allison in the invitation so both girls got to go. Isaac is actually from Abby's old school, but we are trying to keep in touch with her old friends. The party was at the Monkey House, so the girls had a blast. Allison insisted to sit with the big kids while they ate pizza and cake.

 

Abigail is still adjusting to kindergarten. She comes home after school and is hungry and exhausted. We are reading every night as part of her homework and practicing writing our name. It seems that she's already learned so much in just one week time! We can't imagine what it'll be like at the end of the school year.

Much Love,

First Day of Kindergarten!

Abigail started kindergarten! She has been so excited to start at her new "big kid" school. We were surprised at how easily she said goodbye to us when she was in the unfamiliar classroom, with the unfamiliar kids. When she got home, she told us how much she loved her new school!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

5 Year and 17 Month Check-Ups

Abby and Allie went to the doctor this week. Abigail was having her 5 year check up and Allison was having a follow-up to her 15 month check up. Last time she went in, she was too ill to get her shots, so we rescheduled for the same time as sissy's check-up. Both girls had to get shots and it was not a good deal. Abigail does not like shots at all, but she went first to show sissy how to handle it. Then when it was Allie's turn Abby was calling support to her the whole time. After the shots we left and both girls got slushies...one of their favorite treats! We are very happy to report that both girls are happy and health. Allison was in the 99th percentile and Abigail is over 44" tall! Wowza!

Much Love,
