23 Months Old

Abby is just a month away from 2! At home she is potty-trained...that's right no more diapers for her at home! We haven't made the leap to school just yet, but she is moving up to the next class when school resumes in August. We are hoping that this class will be more conducive to potty training for her.

Mommy sometimes gets sad as Abby improves her vocabulary because it makes her realize that Abby isn't a baby any more, but a little girl now!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Rodeo Girl

Tonight we attended the annual Old Fort Days Rodeo here in Fort Smith. Our friends JC and Sharon were kind enough to share their arena side box seats so Abby was up close to all the action. We stayed long past Abby's usual bedtime and she still didn't want to leave! It was a great family night.

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated Memorial Day at Papa and BB's lake house. We had such a great time with our family and spent most of the weekend relaxing and swimming. Abby was quite the water baby and wanted to immediately get into the pool upon our arrival on Friday night.

 

It was also a special occasion because we got to meet young Mr. Avery who was born on May 9. He was so handsome and so sweet all weekend. We all enjoyed spending time with him and Abs loved seeing the baby!

 

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer

 

 

Cousin Emily Graduates!

This past Friday, we attended cousin Emily's graduation from high school in Rogers, AR. Emily graduated with distinguished honors and is heading to U of A with lots of scholarship money. What a great accomplishment, we are so proud of her! Emily had a cookout the following day to celebrate with family so we stayed overnight in Alan and Terri's cabin overlooking Beaver lake. It was so awesome! The veiw was breathtaking and we all slept like babies in the cabin. At the cookout, Saturday, there was lots of great food and Abby got to spend time with some of her younger cousins, they all had a great time together.

Much love,

Mother's Day & DC Lind III Bug Boil

This weekend we celebrated Mother's day and attended the 6th annual DC Lind III Bug Boil. For mother's day daddy took mommy & Abby out to a very special and delicious dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Saturday night and then had a wonderfully relaxing Sunday. Papa, BB and Mikey came over for dinner on Sunday night and daddy grilled some awesome steaks. It was a great weekend for mommy!

We attended the Bug Boil on Saturday afternoon. It is an event that honors Jennifer's brother, DC, who passed away a few years ago. The Bug Boil not only has great food and company, it's primary goal is to raise money for the DC Lind III Memorial Scholarship fund that provides a scholarship to the University of Arkansas. It was another great year at the Bug Boil and just as DC would have liked, with great friends, food and fun!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

Family Visit

Pop & Mumzie were in town this last weekend for Paula & Rod's wedding. We were so excited to see them and get to spend time with them.  Abby even got to stay home from school yesterday to hang out with Pop & Mumz. Their visit like so many others was too short, but full of great memories. We had a great time seeing them as we always do.


Much love,

Paula & Rod's Wedding

Abby's Aunt Paula got married this past weekend. We were so excited to share this special day with her and Rod. The bride and groom were beaming with joy and both of them looked beautiful. After the ceremony we headed to the reception at a family friend's house. Abby was a little overwhelmed by all the new faces, but she quickly broke out of her shell when the live music started playing. She danced and danced and danced. Finally, around 7:30 we had to tell her it was time to go so she could get some rest. She didn't want to leave!

Much love,

Moises & Jennifer
