Gymnastics and busy times

Allison started gymnastics this week. She was very excited to get started doing something with sissy. Gymnastic days are also BB days. BB picks up both girls from school, takes them to gymnastics and then dinner. They both look forward to their BB days. 

So this August 18th was football season kickoff (home games at least). This means more traveling and time split up. Daddy & mommy took the first home game so we headed down Friday night, which meant the girls stayed with BB at our house. They went to a tea party on Saturday and loved it, no surprise there! Mommy headed back home after the game on Sunday, but daddy stayed because he has business in Dallas. Then he came home on Friday only to have mommy leave on Saturday to go down for a game! We finally were all back together on Tuesday, the 28th! Abigail told us that she much prefers having her family all together. So, do we honey...so do we!

Much Love,

First Day of School

Today was a rainy and wet first day of school. Both the girls transitioned to new classes. Abigail started 2nd grade and Allison started PK-4. They were both excited to start in their new classes. When we dropped each of them off, it was a little emotional because it is just another step to them growing up from us!

Karlee & Tyson's Birthday

Our neighbors had a joint birthday party for their kiddos this weekend...and what a party it was. There was a 40 ft slide, mobile video game booth, Kona Ice truck and a llama! Needless to say Abigail told us that she wants her next party like this one. Katie and Dee have already told us they are more than happy to take care of that for her! The slide looked so fun that even mom and dad went down it, of course that was at the end of the party when most of the people had already left! By the time we left the party both the girls were worn out from all the festivities and slept the next morning until 10:30!!!

Petropolitan 2018

Another Petropolitan has come and gone. BB was chairman this year along with her friend Ramona. They out did every Petro before them and added such wonderful touches to make the event even better than previous years. It was a lot of hard work for them, but it was such a fantastic event and raised lots of money for the clinic and future building. This year BB thought it would be a good idea to enlist the help of some of the board members kiddos to sell raffle tickets during the event. What a great idea it was! They all excelled at selling, because who could say no to those sweet faces. We know that our girls had a fantastic time and raised over a thousand dollars for the cause. They worked so hard and helped mom and dad so much during the event and before that we spent all day Friday letting them do whatever they wanted as a reward. We're all looking forward to next year's Petro. If the past is any indication, it will be even better than the ones before it!

Terri turns 50!

Aunt Terri turns 50 on August 1st this year, so cousin Emily planned a surprise party in honor of the big 5-0. Emily did a great job at decorating and pulling together party favors to keep guests occupied while we waited for Terri's arrival. BB said she can't believe her baby sister is 50! Neither can we, because that inches us closer to 40! Yikes...

Birthdays and Lake Trip

It's been a busy couple of weeks. We celebrated BB's birthday last Tuesday. She decided to go to Red Lobster for dinner. It was very nice to spend some quality time with BB to celebrate her special day. This past weekend we went to the Lake House. We had planned a lake outing with our friends Jason and Karen and their kiddos. It also happened to be Papa's birthday. Papa wanted to go to Yao Fuzi's for dinner on Friday night and it was so good! On Saturday, Jason and Karen arrived and we spent nearly the entire day out on the lake, which also happened to be the hottest day of the year. Thankfully, we had the lake to keep us cool. It was such a fun time!

San Antonio

This fourth of July we spent the week in San Antonio with friends at their condo. We had such an awesome time! We headed down after work on Friday and stopped in Arlington for a Rangers game before heading to San Antonio on Saturday. It was a hot week, so we were glad that there was plenty of swimming pools and two lazy rivers to keep ourselves cool during the day. 

Aunt Bibi and Uncle Jorge also live in San Antonio, so we spent the day at her house the day before the 4th. Grandma, Grandpa, Samuel and Sergio were also there. Seth and Nate arrived and we couldn't believe it, but Seth is taller than us now!!! The kids are just growing so fast. It was so great to see all of them!

For the 4th we went to Sea World for the whole day, it was so cool to see all the animals and ride all the rides. It was a hot one, but was not as busy as we thought it'd be. The fireworks show was awesome and Cory had reserved some great seats for the whole group and they ended up being in the perfect spot to enjoy the show. The following day, Cory had set up a swim with the dolphins experience for the three older kids, poor Allison was just not hold enough yet. Mom and Dad stayed with Allison, while Abigail did the dolphin experience. She said she loved it and for a brief moment said she wanted to be a trainer at Sea World when she grows up. 

We headed home on Saturday and daddy drove us straight through...eightish hours of driving after a wild week that kept the girls up most nights well past 11 pm. The kids and us will have a hard time adjusting to real life. It was so much fun.

Much Love,
